Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[aj2k77]

We beat palace at home by a scrappy goal and now we are going to go on a title winning form run!Really?

Probably not but the feeling today beats feeling like everyone at my club are shysters and free loaders and we'll end up with 8 pts. I'm just enjoying the respite and feeling of a win and today I'll believe there's a chance of staying up

Absolutely.
It's the only way we'll stay up.

We shouldn't be as bad as we've been. Palace, Leicester and West Ham have all punched above their weight. I don't think we've actually got much between us in terms of quality. Likewise we should be competing with West fucking Brom.

This is a run of games we've got to be fancying if we still have any ambition of surviving. It's the last point at which we have a run of games we could possibly build some momentum with. Not losing is essential but at least 3 wins in the next 4 is probably required. Absolutely bare minimum.

If everyone gives 100% and we catch the opposition on a bad day, we should pick up results.

Beat Leicester and the stripeys twats will be bricking it knowing that if we do them as well they've probably kick started our survival run again.

I don't think anyone's saying we are going to go on a title winning run.

It felt great to come away with three points last night. Although the goal was a tad fortuitous we deserved the result overall.

We're now on eleven points. We've seventeen games to go - if we can win seven of those and add some draws as well it may be enough. That's a big upturn in our own form and to be fair perhaps the odds are against us, but it's not title form as some of the pundits have been saying.

I see the big IFs are making a comeback.

Of course the big IFs are back. They gave us hope last night and where there's hope there's a chance.

It's the hope that kills you

That's football!

If we don't snatch at this glimmer of hope then we may as well throw the towel in. Why can't we enjoy the moment and look forward to beating Leicester?

We have practically zero chance of staying up.

We have already had lots of winnable/non loseable games this season. In fact Everton / Spuds away aside I can't think off hand of any really really difficult games. Even Arsenal at home we played them after they had an away trip in Europe - previously their achiles heel.

We failed to take points in 10 games where we would have with a bit more organisation and application.

We haven't put 2 decent performances together for a long time and our 3 previous performances were in games against frankly speaking pretty crap opposition including 2 shameful surrenders v teams we needed to beat.

That said - better application and a bit more footballing brain should see us avoid anymore unwanted records and set us up good foundations for next season's slog in the 2nd tier.

Would be hilarious to see the meltdown in Sandwell as they all start bricking it that 'The Vile are gona escape again!!' 'Why do we always gift these points??'

Big game Saturday before then, but with some confidence at last.

I still think we'll be relegated, though I have a bit more hope that we might not go down completely without dignity.

I do get the feeling, though, that Garde can get us straight back up. He wants to play good football but he also clearly brooks no bullshit, and with a proper bit of preparation he could be a success in the Championship.

By all means enjoy the moment, but thinking we are staying up is futile. We still have no reliable goalscorer, an untested Goalkeeper and seemingly no one wanting to join us in this transfer window.

Who has said that we're staying up?

[Mortimer's Bear]

Is it not possible to just enjoy our first home win of the season?
