I think we will stay up because ....

[kippaxvilla2]

I think we will stay up because we have a brilliant, tactically aware manager, and the defence will magically sort itself up.  I also believe eastie when he says that lots of money is available, and Lambert will spend that today and tomorrow on bringing in a world class defender and midfielder.

I think you would be good on Fighting Talk - doing the defending the indefensible slot.

[PaulWinch again]

Yes Nigel I'm sure there's lots of fans who want us to go down, that's why noone seems to be remotely bothered about how badly we're doing.....

[pauliewalnuts]

Unfortunately there are too many who refuse to believe we can stay up, or want us to go down so they can say "Told you so"

I honestly think that's the most idiotic thing I've read on here for ages.

Wanting us to go down so they can say "told you so"?

I know we all argue a lot on here, but Christ almighty, I'd never suggest some of us actually *want* us to get relegated.

Utter bollocks.

[OzVilla]

I really, really, really don't want us to be relegated.

 I've had countless shit days this season and last thanks to the Villa and I sometimes wake up and think about it in the middle of the night.  People here would think i'm mad if they knew.

So i don't care for "I told you so's", in fact i'm more pissed of at how utterly fucking predictable this whole thing is other than to those that can actually do something about it.

[Risso]

Who would they be saying 'told you so' to in any case?  Pretty much everybody thinks we're going down, whether they back the manager or not.

[damon loves JT]

I think we will stay up because I am too stupid and stubborn to give up just yet.

[Concrete John]

I think we will stay up because I can't contemplate existing in a universe where Robbie Savage is proven right.  Ever.  About anything.

[Drummond]

I think we'll stay up because we're only in the relegation places on goal difference, having suffered the worst run we've ever had which surely to god it must end soon.

I think the players, after last night's second half performance will believe they have it in them to do it and we'll see a miraculous result at Goodison like............ Legion to the thread please....

[JB1811]

I think we'll stay up because......in the 2nd half yesterday it looked like the players have finally realised that they are going to have to fight and battle to stay up, before this they didnt seem to notice (or care).

[cdbearsfan]

My name is Napoleon. Wibble!

[ktvillan]

....because in order to offset the cognitive dissonance I will create an alternate universe where normal logic and sense applies at the Villa, and Lambert and Lerner address the blindingly obvious.

[Jimbo]

"... we just will." Lambert, P.

[PeterWithesShin]

I believe we'll stay up thanks to a mix of blind faith, insanity, crack cocaine and denial.

I also flatly refuse to wave the white flag this early. Plus, if I want the players to fight to the end and believe they can stay up then I should be the same.

Nurse!

[not3bad]

Because I'm Optimistic, like Radiohead.

[edgysatsuma]

because I think we'll get into the champions league.

Sorry, thought you was asking about my FIFA season.
