For these games [Barnsley and Preston], neither of them exactly a short trip, Villa have sold getting on for ten thousand tickets. In terms of tickets, travel, sundry expenses and time off work the cost of this awe-inspiring show of loyalty will be the best part of a million pounds, to watch a team that haven’t won away for fourteen months

My only objection is describing them as winnable games. With all we've been through with this Villa incarnation over the past few years, the team has not yet earned the right to have any of its fixtures denoted as winnable!At the moment, we have at least progresed far enough to describe games as maybe "not losable".
