Too many of our supposed fans think we have divine right to be in top tier
A club that has spent as much as we have and that was challenging the top 4 as recently as three seasons ago shouldn't be anywhere near the relegation zone let alone considering what life might be like in the Championship.

No club has a divine right to be at the top
And?

Way i see it we were lucky. No two ways about it, another day and we'd have been going in at half time 3/4 nil down. However when we did go behind, the heads didn't drop which is a massive plus in itself. Gotta hope the confidence is coming back because it doesn't look hopeful on the injury front - Concerned that the fans don't get on the players back if we start badly in the next home game or i fear it could be another disaster. ..#randygetyourchequebookout.

Some games you play well and deservedly win, eg the Liverpool game.  Some games you're dreadful and deservedly get battered, eg Chelsea, Spurs and Wigan.  Sometimes you play badly and get a draw, eg today.

You're deluded, Dave. This season has been utterly shambolic right from the off, with record defeats, worst season starts and goals conceded, yet according to you you're "waiting for things to get better".
Well good luck with that!

There's nothing deluded about it.
The team that barely scraped past the relegation post last season is now even more depleted and is the youngest ever Villa side, yet we are still outside the relegation zone with a transfer window to go and more experienced players almost ready to come back into the side.
We showed character in the two games either side of the Christmas disaster zone and are in a very winnable cup semi-final.

You keep taking the prozac, I'll happily look for the positives and say that yes, along with Woodhall, I am definitely waiting for things to get better, and I don't reckon I'll have much of a wait either.

One man's lucky is another man's resolute defending but it's not about today. The same people who say we're going down and this is the worst Vila team for 20/30/138 years are invariably the same ones who describe results against teams who are therefore better than us as lucky.
The post was certainly resolute for us today. But I'm not sure I see the controversy in seeing a poor side ride their luck to a point against a superior team and describing it as such.

I think this is the fourth time I've said this:

It's not just about today, it's about every single time we go away and get a decent result. We can never play well, we always have to be lucky.   

I think you're making things up to suit your argument.  Where did anybody say anything of the sort in the win against Liverpool, for example?

The heads did not drop and I think that is a major plus. As for the fans, I think they have been excellent by and large

I agree with Coops, and also with movie character Scott Hastings from the hit dance film 'Strictly Ballroom'. He expressed the belief that 'a life lived in fear is something something something' (I was pissed when I saw that bit).

I firmly believe we have the moves to win the Pan-Pacific Grand Prix.

Chelsea, Tottenham and Wigan - they were all shit Villa performances. Anybody that says different is clueless. Only O'Neill would have found any good out of those games.
However, we still have time to save ourselves, also time to do a bit better than just save ourselves. Let's not harangue the Manager. None of us could do any better than he is doing. As I told someone today, who was questioning why Herd was centre back, who else could he play there?
