Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[seanthevillan]

Think thats a bit harsh considering Barry is generally our best players (hes allowed a mare every now and then), Young has been one of our other best players and after that our other midfielders are at least as good as Sunderland's. Hopefully Petrov will be fit as well, anyone got any news on that?

[ROBBO]

The reason our away form is so good is that we play on the break virtually bye passing midfield, when at home other teams do the same to us and we don't have the midfield to break them down.

Just got to Karachi after 24 hours travelling - still haven't finished. Good to meet up with JD in a very warm Christchurch.

1 bloody 1? I haven't followed any of the match details now but these are games we have to be winning f this season is a serious assault on Europe. Finishing in8th  or lower will serverly hamper MON's plans for next season and the type of players we can attract. I do believe that this side will be inconsistent this season and go on winning runs and less profitable runs like the current one. However, we should be able to go to teams in the bottom 3 and win games by now. We don't want MON to enter into the midway point of the 5 year plan with us no further foward in our assault on trying to even get close to the top 6 than we are now.

I am worried that I will freeze my bits off on Saturday.

[ROBBO]

There's more important thing to worry about than your bits. I have a sinking feeling that we will lose again and the gnashing of teeth will begin.
MON missed the boat in the summer and we are going to feel the pain.

[peter w]

Its a definite worry. For all the good work of November a defeat would begin to undo it. A draw is just treading water so a win is needed.

[JD]

I'm worried that if we can't beat Man City at home then we will start to slip away from the top 7 or 8 in the league, with Chelski away the next game. We must win on Saturday to stay in touch.

Sorry Robbo & Peter that I haven't been atround much, been in Auckland working.

[peter w]

That all chestnut. Is it stillr aining in Auckland? raining when I got there. Raining the next day. Raining when I returned from Christchurch. Raining when I got the plain to Sydney the next day.

Not sure where you're staying JD but there's a great chinese called something like 'Love a Duck', or 'Gawd love a Duck' (I may have added the first word inm my mind since). Its at the bottom of Anzac Parade (St, or Rd). Actually really good food, and uts an eaterie that stays open leter than 9.30pm which in New Zealand I found to be a rarity.

[ROBBO]

What kind of weather were you expecting? it's bloody New Zealand for Gods sake, didn't you notice an hour into the flight to Sydney that all the passengers were changing into their shorts and getting the suncream out?
I fully expect any day now that JD will decide his future lies in Melbourne voted the most liveable city in the world, and i will be at Tullamarine to welcome a fellow Villa supporter. As long as he doesn't want to move in.

[JD]

Very good Robbo. While I was baking in 30c+ on Sunday I thought I would watch a bit of cricket from Sydney, but alas it was rained off  :- .
You are right Peter, it rains nearly every day in Auckland at some point (28 out of every 30 days). A bit like Manchester in that respect.

You wont get me living in Melbourne Robbo, although I will try to visit in the near future. I'm going to The Gold Coast in February and will try and get back to Australia (hopefully Melbourne) later next year.

[peter w]

Manchester or Auckland? Hmmmmm.

[JD]

Hard choice Peter. I do like Auckland, but I couldn't live there.

[peter w]

I can see why after being in Christchurch. Is the Man City game on live in NZ? Aus?

[ROBBO]

We have the choice of three games Villa being one of them but it's not the main game so cannot be recorded. 2am in the bloody morning it is then.

[VillaVA]

Under HDE, I used to be permanently depressed.
Now, I'm permanently worried.

Is this an improvement?
