What if - the miracle happens?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Okore instead of Clark would be a good start.

Just a shame Jores isn't a left sided central defender. He can always replace Richards though.

[UK Redsox]

It's not "end of the world" it's actually "Dogs of War", although the way we're playing the former would be a more appropriate description than the latter

Maybe replace it with "Comfortably Numb"

The one thing they could do for me to change the mood is lose the lion off the big screen. Let's have something scary like Jack Nicholson in The Shining or Maggie Thatcher holding that poor terrified calf.

We'll be very nearly relegated by then,

I'd love to hear more about this. Come on

Just bought my tickets for the West Ham game. I'm sure the lads will give me 3 points for Christmas. How's that for a positive attitude?

[Nelly]

Positivity; we're Aston bloody Villa!!!!!
Negativity; we're the current Aston Villa.

Up against Paul Lambert's Blackburn in our near-defence of the FA Cup.

Steady now.

I'd rather they just showed something cheery like Muppets Christmas Carol than the actual football.

I doubt we'll get more than 20 points.  There isn't a chance in hell we'll stay up.  The sooner everybody comes to terms with the fact that we'll be in the Championship next season, the better.

Why ? Why is giving up  better ?

It's the hope that kills you.  I obviously hope we stay up, but we're going to have to break every record in the book to do so, and it isn't going to happen. Our defence is shit, our midfield is shit and our forwards are more or less non-existent.  Add to that the fact that we've haven't won a single home game in ages, and have lost to the likes of Watford and Swansea, and it's beyond bleak.   We're seven points adrift already, and honestly where can you see the next win coming from?

Glad to see you are now being more positive.

If its going to happen, and I really don't think another 33 points qualifies as turning water into wine and five loafs and the such like, then we need results and quickly. I think its likely we will go down at present, but if we scan take 9-10 points from now until the end of the Sunderland game, then by virtue of the sides we will need to have beaten to get to that amount, we will be in touch and with a January window ahead of us.

Now you're talking!!
