[quote user="Salopian"]For the first time I begin to worry about the immediate future. Everybody else, except Newcastle and Sunderland to some extent, are reviving and we are not. We are not the team we were earlier in the season, and now with Turner and possibly Bassong out.... I would go further and say that after Saturday''s goal attempt lacking, I wonder if we shall gain any further points this season. In which case it''s looking grim, and we really have to hope that Wigan stumble and the teams from the North East also go pointless. The best hope is that Wigan stumble, but at times recently they have played very well. They certainly have some outstanding players, and are capable of upsets. Sorry to be so pessimistic at last, but last Saturday, injuries and Villa''s massive win are all disturbing. [/quote] Can somebody please explain to me exactly what this so-called Wigan revival actually consists of?! As far as I can tell, we''ve picked up more points than them over the last 3 games. Am I missing something?

[quote user="Branston Pickle"]I am astonished about the attitude of some people on here, reading some of the comments it is as though there is no question that Villa will win on Saturday, and we might as well not turn up. You''d have thought we were going to play Barca the way they are carrying on, but the fact is they are BELOW us in the league. They are there for a reason. They might be showing some form tonight but they are inconsistent and as likely to follow that up with a defeat as a win. For those espousing PL''s tactical genius, do you not remember the shambles that we were against the likes of Blackburn last season? He gets it wrong plenty often, and in key games too. Come Saturday we are at home, with a good home record. There is no reason to go into it with a negative mindset as supporters, but the attitude of some ''supporters'' is so negative that I dread to think what it will be like if things start to go against us, at a time when support is what is needed.[/quote] Very well said BP!!

Voted as it''s a disgrace but, as you suggest, probably won''t make any difference.

Pretty sure you still scan this site from time to time so: Happy Birthday! Have a good un you legend! :-)

YYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[quote user="Cantiaci Canary"]It never fails to amaze me how quickly some supporters of football clubs take their Premier League status for granted and begin grumbling about the manager and tactics when they aren''t seeing exciting football or lots of goals week in week out. Be careful what you wish for look at Charlton Athletic and Alan Curbishley. If Hughton keeps us up it will be a huge achievement. We must be the poorest club in this league financially - look at the promoted teams ... Saints spent £12M on one player last summer, West Ham can attract Carroll, Benayoun and J.Cole (none of which would be seen dead in a Canary shirt) and Reading signed Pogrebnyak on wages we couldn''t dream of. If CH keeps us up everything he''s done is justified. With the debts cleared we can finally spend properly and fully compete - imagine us next year with a defensive midfielder who can not only break up play but also feed clever balls through to the wide men and forwards, a striker or two who can make his own chances out of nothing and beat a man before lashing in powerful and accurate shots on goal and a winger who can skin a man with electric pace before whipping in a pin point cross. We could be 9 games away from this! There are bigger clubs than us in the Championship who look at us being 9 points from the drop in our second Prem season with envy and would shake their heads in disbelief if they read some of the foolish comments about Hughton on this message board FROM HIS OWN SUPPORTERS! [/quote] ^^^^^^ Exactly, this is an astonishing reaction.

[quote user="jas the barclay king"]sorry, i thought we were 14th in the league, 2 clean sheets in 2 games, 8 points clear of the drop...can someone tell me how this is justifcation for the sack?Shall we follow the Nottingham Forest model?[/quote] Exactly! I really think these people need to get a grip.

[quote user="nutty nigel"]Most people would have seen yesterday''s result as a big positive before the game.. [/quote] Well said NN!

Any point away from home in the premiership is a decent point. Simple as that. And I really don''t see how we were lucky?!

[quote user="technika"]absolute steaming pile of sh1t a very very FORTUNATE point going down playing like this hughton out[/quote] What a total simpleton you are!

[quote user="Michael Starr"][quote user="Mervmeister"]Biased ref today as well I feel[/quote]Agreed![/quote] He was appalling on several decisions. That was such a clear penalty in my opinion

Originally from Thorpe but now living in Chippenham, Wilts OTBC!

[quote user="Hackedoff"]That is all!![/quote] Like

[quote user="NWC"]Thats a 2 poiint challenge!!! absolutely brilliant defending!!![/quote] That was an astonishing tackle! 7th, 2 points off the Champions League spot - that''ll do nicely - hahah!!

[quote user="AJ"]One of the craziest games I''ve ever watched. So glad we didn''t crumble, but still too close for comfort in the end. Saying that, the Liberty isn''t an easy place to go, and we scored FOUR goals away from home, we''re UNBEATEN in TEN, and Holty got in on the act. Fantastic 3 points. Who saw that coming?![/quote] Not me, that''s for certain!!! Unbelievable!

[quote user="nutty nigel"][quote user="whoareyou"]Can some of you not just enjoy another good win and three points? This week''s unlucky City player to get unjustified criticism!! Leave the players alone FFS. Only Man City have a longer unbeaten record than us now. [/quote] I do think this forum''s becoming a joke this season with regards to criticism. It''s like people are almost disappointed that we win at home and draw away and are forever clamouring to drop the players who have put together this run. I have seen every one of our top flight season''s and rarely do you get runs of games like we are seeing. Like I said the other day - I hope the players don''t ever look in! [/quote] Couldn''t agree more! I honestly don''t know what people were hoping for after we lost Lambert but it couldn''t have been much better than this surely!?

[quote user="Mister Chops"]We only got a point today because Fellaini was suspended. With him in the Everton team, we''d have lost 5-0. Hoolahan was awful, Snodgrass was dreadful, Pilkington was woeful, Holt was shocking, Johnson was lazy, Tettey was dopey, Garrido was angry, Whittaker was sleepy, Bunn was happy, Bassong was sneezy and we let Doc go completely in 2010. Sack the f*cking lot of them and pick a team out of the Barclay End who''ll give you 90 minutes of pride, passion, playing for the shirt and fist-pumping commitment to the cause. Champions League here we come.[/quote] Hahah!

[quote user="technika"]nigel youre a bellend good point, 5h1te performance, negative tactics all the way and took way too long to make the changes, like i said, same negative style as the reading game, funny how we switch to an attacking formation and then scoresnodgrass and hoolahan should have gone off at half time. they were rubbish if hughton set them out to win games from the off then they are more than capable of doing it[/quote] What more do you simpletons want? It''s away from home, we got a point, picking up points away from home and winning homes games. Incredibly good run of results in the Premiership, and I mean incredible. And still you moan. Un-be-lievable.

Indeed, wow!!! Didn''t expect that - OTBC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[quote user="I.S."]Seriously cannot believe the over-the-top negative comments on here. Aside from a lack of quality in finishing, and a host of fine saves from Guzan, we dominated the match. I could understand these sorts of comments if they were from Villa supporters, but I am surprised to see them from some people on here. A point away from home is a decent result in any division, especially this one.[/quote] ^^^^^ This. I seriously can''t believe some of the posters on this forum sometimes. We could have had all 3 points and obviously I''m disappointed that we didn''t but it''s blindingly obvious that we dominated the game and that''s not easy away to any team in this division.

[quote user="BWs Cat"]Avoid trouble AGAIN? We didn''t have any trouble last season! Personally I think saints, wigan and west ham will go down.[/quote] Well this is pleasant :-) I think you''ll find that''s exactly what he means :-)

[quote user="Jim Smith"]I also agree with the comments above re those who continuously question Wes''s place in the team or call for us to get rid. Ok we all have different opinions on players and whether or not they should be in the team but some of the hostile comments towards Wes beggar belief. he''s a great little player who has done as much as anyone (including Holt) to drag us up from league 1 to where we are now. He''s never moaned when he''s been dropped and never asked to leave the club. He''s won us countless matches in his time and is a great little player who i love to watch play. I really, really don;t understand some of our fans sometimes.[/quote] ^^^ And this
