This is the season...

A nice score draw for the Northern half jock hordes today and a good few injuries for both sides, God its horrible being a Villa fan at the moment.

[martin o`who??]

It will be interesting to see how Sunderland get on after today, as I think they have easily the poorest group of players in the league.

And they still took a draw off us AND scored twice.

Bournemouth and Norwich are doing their best to get into the bottom 3 so there's hope for us yet.

Re is this the season whenever we hit rock bottom I try to find some stats to give myself something to cling to, after the good 4 game start last season we then went on a horror run getting 2 points from the next 10 games, we then won 2 on the bounce but then took 2 points from the next 12 games (TWELVE) and yet still stopped up, I know we had Benteke and Delph but it gives me a glimmer of hope that we might, just might make it.

Apologies first horror run 3 from 9, second horror run 3 from 12, impact of post lost, doh.

I fear it almost certainly is but if our current plight has shown up one thing it is that the peasants who inhabit the Small Heath cesspit really are the Neanderthals we always knew them to be, they're being presented with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we're bottom of the premiership, no manager, and the best they can come out with is the usual juvenile "Vile" thing and a Photoshopped picture of A Noddy car driving out of Bodymoor Heath - very disappointing.

if Big Ears, Sly and Gobbo were missing from the scene, then it shows a remarkable lack of understanding of  the essential erotic tension at the heart of those stories.

I don't suppose anybody's suggested that if the glorious Suits at VP screw up the new appointment we'll be doing an inglorious offski at the end of this season, have they?

Agree, plus Sundcastle arent going anywhere

We need to get points from the next three games though, Spurs (a), Man City (h) and Everton (a).

I think just picking up a couple of points from draws and stopping the rot would do wonders for confidence within the team. It might not immediately make our position any prettier, but you have to start somewhere. If we could pull a win out of that run that would be a bonus.

[Legion]

Miracle.

[Villa in Denmark]

Fair point.

[garyshawsknee]

Two points from those three games would seem like qualification for the champion league right now. Would give us a massive lift.

[silhillvilla]

Yes

Well folks I'm afraid I'm now coming to terms with it.  In fact on the way home last night we were actually talking about the away days it would bring in a positive sense.  It'll be horrible if/when it happens but it's been a painfully slow train crash for the past 6 years.
