Relegation?

[john e]

We've had a

Houllier/Mcdonald/Mcallister season
1 win in 10 2/10 - 10/12
1 win in 7 1/2 - 9/4

Mcleish
1 win in 8 27/8 - 4/11
1 win in 7 21/11 - 30/12
1 win in 16 1/2 - 13/5

Lambert 1st season
1 win in 9  18/8 - 2/11
0 wins in 8 23/12 - 9/2

Lambert 2nd season
1 win in 7 5/10 - 3/12
1 win in 8 8/12 -  29/1


9 horrible runs in 4 season covering 80 games, is it any wonder some are so fucked off. It would probably take a near record breaking collapse for us to go, and we're not that bad.

That is pretty bad. And in that time we've not had what you'd call a really good run of form. We managed mid-table form between Feb-March last year, but tended to flit between wins and losses.

In Houlliers season 2 wins against Liverpool and Arsenal, back to back at the end, was a final flourish after a season of mostly drek.

I'd love to see us go 5-10 unbeaten at some point, or string 4-5 wins together in the league. Just to have a month where everythings peachy creamy.

Unfortunately it's easier to win 1 in 9 than it is to win 8 in 9.

Fulham will be in our faces from minute 1, expect a long afternoon.

Remind me again is that the same Fulham who have been bottom of the table all season?

Being bottom didn't stop them in December, ending their run of seven league games without a win against us...

Fulham is the game that worries me the most of all the remaining matches. They're bloody awful. They're desperate for a win. We should dominate them, we should beat them, but Villa law dictates that when a team comes to Villa park needing a win as badly as Fulham do, we're probably going to oblige. I'm also working on the law of averages. We won two on the bounce and are now in our bad patch. 2 defeats so far and our shite patches tend to stretch longer than our good ones. I think we're due a little bit more pain before we get another win.

Never rely on the law of averages to save you. It doesn't exist. If it was a reality wouldn't every team all be on the same points and 0 goal difference? Apart from that, I agree entirely.

Yes that was Meulensteen's first match...miracles don't occur twice in the same place!

I'm hoping that this time Lambert won't play Herd at centre-back though. Bacuna is never a right-back, but anyone would have struggled covering for our 5'10" midfielder Herd playing there.

How long was Newcastle's winless streak before we obliged them in the 93rd minute at Sid James's?

Anyway, we'll beat Fulham Saturday and hopefully that will be that for another season.

By that logic, I look forward to your predictions of how we're going to win at Arsenal and beat Chelsea at home next season.

I'm not sure I said we'd lose Saturday?
I simply meant being bottom of the table, doesn't necessarily mean they'll be a pushover.
Sidwell is their top scorer and even in a good season for them they aren't good on the road.
If we create the same amount of chances as them I think we'll win.

It was the home form with that one, it had been 5 or 6 games since they'd won at home. Which is 2 months at least.

No it wasn't. They lost to Spurs in his first game.

[Tony Erdington]

this season we are safe, because of the utter drose below us, But if we keep with this policy of trying "all unknowns" in the same team, we'll be having plenty of local derbies sooner rather than later.

We must buy at least 3 known Premiership players.
