Last game of season

[supertom]

If it goes to the last day, I'd put my money on Wigan.
It's in our hands to get to 40 before that game. We have to do it, and we can do it.

Sunderland is key. It depends which Sunderland side shows up. PDC has started okay but his side will be erratic.  Norwich we should beat.

We could easily fill their main stand for this one.

I don't see why the Met can cope with the Manchester derby or when they play Liverpool, but are suddenly afraid of having 5400 Villa fans turning up.

It’s not as if we have a particularly bad reputation and I cannot see Bladen submitting a report to them saying anything other than "they stand up and are boisterous".

I presume we'll sell the 3,000 and take it from there.

As for Bladen, he's a nice chap.

He is decent enough.

He has the best job going in my view. Free travel to and from every home and away game, paid to watch the Villa, a free seat in the corner box by the Holte. He was there last night watching it with his mate. You can always clock him with his blue bib.

He doesn't do Europe though, we had a cockney spotter in Vienna.

I might invest in a defibrillator. If it goes down to the last game of the season I'll bloody need it.

Is there a specific area people are going for when booking tickets in the home end?

Only been to one away this year and it was a freebie so I have no chance of getting a ticket in the away.

twice over - the people of Wigan better start preparing for the invasion.

We will be relegated at Carrow Road. The Wigan game will be a wake.

It is mathematically impossible for us to be relegated at Carrow Road.

Give him a chance. He wasn't doing the job then. He is also a very, very nice man indeed.

I am flying on holiday the day after the season ends and will not enjoy it if we are relegated.
I still think 5 points are needed and believe we will win at Norwich and draw our 2 home games thereby leaving wigan 4 points adrift before the final game.
I can see them beating swansea and drawing at Albion but losing to spurs and arsenal, making the final day a party time for us.

I agree about Wigan's likely haul but expect us to take 4 further points (38) come the final day which would mean they will need to beat us at their place to stay up.

The picture will be much clearer a week today I feel.

I didn't realise that.

He popped into the Ads before the Albion away game and was pleasent and reasonable as he generally always is. A quality often lacking in some of the WMP and their handling of football supporters.

One thing you can't deny has improved in recent years is policing. It's light years away from how it used to be.

Absolutely. Highfield Road has always stood out for me as the ground where we were always on the end of some really poor policing. A lot of it comes down to attitude and Bladen comes across as a fair bloke and is generally respected for it.

We could easily fill their main stand for this one.

Ticket or no ticket a big, rousing (peaceful) presence of Villa fans in and around the ground would lift the players and the club.  A quick, sustained, Facebook/Twitter campaign would mobilize the troops.

The fans have met their side of the bargain all season - no need for further rallying cries. It's the manager and the players who need to do the biz now
