Relegation?

[brian green]

I too thought the atmosphere was Arsenal like last Sunday

Whey hey I sent a post from my phone!

Summed up by the Norwich fans singing "4-1 and you still don't sing", considering how important a win it was and the fact it's been so long since we gave someone a shoeing at VP it struck me as strange it was so subdued.

Patience will be thinner next season. If such a thing is possible

Quite so.

There was a menacing murmuration gathering momentum early doors on Sunday, and the attendance should set alarm bells ringing in the corridors of power at B6.

I think a crap kick off time and the fact it was on sky played a part.

It remained a low key atmosphere even at 4-1 I thought.

I remember thinking something similar, although the fact that the second half was really dull (in a good way) might have had something to do with it.

Also lot of the people around me seemed to come for 'Lambert Out Day' and left disappointed.  I mentioned it in the post match thread, but there was one guy who was hurling some pretty nasty abuse from before the first whistle (including gems like 'What the f*ck do Scots know about football').  He didnt celebrate our goals, and once we turned the game around the only thing he came out with was more abuse when a pass or shot went astray.  He also broadcast his opinion that we were shit and 'lazy' because 'we shouldve scored more goals'.

Its no wonder the younger lads play like a bag of nerves at home when there are fuckwits like him about.

Also, most people took until half time to dry out from the pre match drenching and by then the game was over.

To be honest I was quite subdued in the second half because I kept wondering how long was left and if Norwich pulled one back now would there still be time for a collapse to 4-4!!

It was probably shock.

Don't write off Tonev and Luna just yet.

That's a joke, right?

No it's not a joke. These are young lads parachuted in from a different country and had to play in a struggling team. We should no more write them off  at this juncture than Arsenal writing off Ozil or for that matter  van Persie in his first few seasons.

Why would it be?

[Chris Smith]

At this stage I think goal difference tells you a lot and of the strugglers Fulham, Cardiff  and Nowich are the worst and therefore I reckon the favourites to go.

[supertom]

If we want to improve the atmos at VP and make it a fortress of constant, ear piercing noise, then we should sign Louis Tomlinson from One Direction. His debut for Doncaster reserves saw their gates go up from the norm of a couple of hundred, to over 5000, and the noise when he came on was absolutely farking crazy.

It would mean a lot of hysterical teenage girls in the ground though...

...but to be fair us lot can sometimes act like hysterical teenage girls (suffering from a visit from Aunt Irma) when Villa suffer a defeat.

Most of the fans around where I was sitting were all still saying things like, 7mins plus top page to go. Could still only get a draw out of this!'

Think the subdued atmosphere was just down to relief of the result.

I agree with the point about 'Lambert out' day. I know we went a goal down and it'd be nervy but I thought the crowd were ready to jump on any mistake and fact there was a murmuring for Albrighton after seven minutes showed how quickly some people were ready to have a pop at the manager, which I disagree with.

No chance, supertom.

There is too much bad blood between the club and the band following Gabby's reducer on that chappy when they played in Stan's testimonial at Celtic. Paul Higgins, the band's manager, is quoted as saying he would rather staple his testicles to the ceiling than sell any of his charges to the Villa.

I agree however it will be a shame as Chris Hughton is a very decent bloke. If they are to survive they need to be on 38 points before their last 4 tough games. I don't think they will get 10 from 6.
