Blimey Ads - what you been drinking?

Brilliant stuff -

Back to the Future? - if only Villa could go " Forward to the Past"

I had us limping over the line on 38 points. But I also had sunderland going down so I don't think that is very reliable. Did strike me that a lot of teams in the bottom 3rd play eachother, which I guess favours us...?

I can never get my head around this but doesn't the fact that nobody has been cut adrift yet mean the points cut off should be sub 40?

It depends

Maybe we could get KEA a hover board to help him move around the pitch a bit quicker.

I may not be Einstein, but I know that we should all have played the same number of games...

I have us 11th on 41 points. And I thought that was being overly pessimistic.

I also have Palace, Stoke and Fulham going down with Chelsea winning the league.

If you look at Villa's remaining fixtures, it's hard to see how we won't get enough points. But for me, it starts against Norwich. Win that, and it's breathing space. Draw, we're bitching for the rest of the month. Lose, it's curtains.

We need a return of the Orange Dot. It did wonders for the Sunderland game.

[nodge]

I'm glad they got rid of the predictor.  I wish they'd get rid of the "as it stands" table too.  On 1st February at about 4.30 pm we were on 30 points, 23 days and 3 games later we're on 28.

[SoccerHQ]

I think we'll be safe on 37 points as I don't see Cardiff, Palace, Fulham and WBA reaching that figure and even if they do  of them have poorer goal differences.

I'm actually beginning to doubt we're even going to reach the 41 points we scraped together last season, remember McLeish was sacked on 38 points so Lambert is in real trouble here if he doesn't buck his ideas up and think of ways to get us home wins as our away form is drying up and we have difficult fixtures left on the road.

It's just all massive disappointing this season. At least with the other two we were shite from the outset so you knew it was all going to be about survival.

This year though given the decent run in, Benteke staying in the summer and a good start we made from a very difficult start we really should be comfortably mid table and finishing 9th or 10th.

Everytime we've had a good result, we've just got worse and plummeted. Take the latest one...strong end to the game v Arsenal, superb performance at Liverpool and entertaining win v West Brom got us to 27 points so I was assuming we'd kick on and comfortably get past 40 points.

Instead 4 games, 1 point, 1 goal against pretty poor opposition.

Agree with that completely. I said the other week the team started to look like they were lacking confidence and Sunday just confirmed it. A win against a hard fighting, determined Norwich is a must. You'd hope at least for this game Lambert will want to get it right. They really hate him and you can bet your life their chairman will do everything within his powers to get them focused. It really is a 6 pointer but then was Sunderland last season. I don't rate Lambert but surely he can't fuck this one up?

Wouldn't it be great if we could get a Sunderland result against Norwich.  6-1 with the big man getting a hat trick.

I can but dream.
