Adam knew there was some tough games ahead but i can't see West Ham get anything against Everton or Birmingham doing much against Man U, Villa are safe for now but can see then joining another claret and blue team near the bottom if their not careful .
Spurs 0-0 Newcastle at half time  ,lets hope for a few Spurs goal in the second half pray1

Spurs came good as we new they would Newcastle blow hot and cold and we were always going to be to good for them

Hammers are winning and that squeezes things up at the bottom

I hesitate to say that Aston Villa are "too good to go down" because I remember when they said that about Forest. They were not good enough to stay up. Villa have to watch for that and need to start winning a few games.

I have also just noticed their awful goal difference - that could cost them a point. I think Wolves and West Ham remain favourites for the drop, after that it will become a dog fight.

Hi Guys

Chelsea next.....make it stop, I'm going to support Man Ure from now on. redman

Villa are not too good to go down, but they won't go down. A lot of Villa fans wanting Houllier out, but he must be given time.

January is just about here and he can get in a few of his own players as well as get rid of some of O'neills dross. Did you know for example that Steve Sidwell (who is almost guaranteed to join West Ham ..sorry Tommy) is on 50K per week and under O'Neill who signed him hardly ever played because he wasn't good enough! Plus he still lives in London!!???

We get most of our really tough games out of the way soon, by the end of Jan, I think Villa could well be in the bottom three, but by the end of Feb they could be top half. The table is still that congested and we will turn it around.


What Villa actually need is some dumb luck! At the moment they don't have any and they haven't had any all season. They were deservedly stuffed last night, but on another day, the first decision is not a penalty (Balotelli went down very easily). The second goal is not given, Bannon headed it off the line I can't understand how it was given. The third was very close, but replays did show Balotelli was just off side.

But no excuses from me Villa at the moment are not good enough....roll on January.

For what it's worth I don't THINK they will go down. They are capable of going down on current form and that needs to be arrested - and soon !

Well what can I say,I didn't expect West Ham or Birmingham to get anything from their games last night  :o

I have to agree with CC that it is going to be Wolves and West Ham  going down and by the way this season is going it could be one of any 10 that are above them  ::)

Looks like O'Neill knew when to get out!!

Most football fans think he is a good manager and that Villa were mad to let him go. The situation we are in now also looks like that is the correct assessment.

But what was going on inside the club was why he was allowed to go.

Lerner wants Villa to pay for itself (as will be UEFA rules in 2013), but too many of O neills signings were on "Champions League" wages, sadly they never made it those heights. He played the same team week in week out, so that come March when that final push would have taken Villa to the promised land 3 seasons in a row, the players were knackered and slipped back to 6th place on each occasion.

O Neill was told that he wouldn't be given anymore money to waste until some of his expensive signings that werent playing were off loaded. Sell to buy - he was told this at the end of last season, but during the summer nobody was sold. Then Man City come in with a huge offer for Milner (our best player), nobody wanted him to leave, but the decision was made and O Neill was told he wouldn't get any of that money as he hadnt off loaded any of the shite. The dummy was spat out and off he went leaving us in the brown stuff.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ashley Young is off in Jan, if a huge offer comes in. But I still have faith that Houllier will be given money to spend and that he will turn things around pray1. It can sometimes only take one result and everything looks different, confidence comes back and off we go.... heres hoping.
