Villa despite the results haven't been playing well as I work with a Villa season ticket holder who goes to both the home and aways. I actually can see this being a tight contest and not a foregone conclusion that we lose

I think we could make it close if we defend properly early on. Concede a goal in the first half and we're properly up against it.

Europe is still on the cards, and Garner recognises that. We are something like four points from 5th place and six points from 4th place. Whilst there's a chance, even a slight chance, you don't just give up or stop believing. That said, I don't see us beating Villa

...8 points from 17th too mate.

A nothing season in store now.

I'm with you on Villa's fans, btw. Horrendous.

All the talk of being "x points from fifth" or whatever totally ignores "out of both cups in January". It's no wonder the likes of Moyes doesn't take the cups seriously when so many of the fanbase don't even factor it into the goals of the season.

2-2.

Come on Senegal.

2-2.

Edit: sorry, meant to put 22-0

I remember the 6-2 from a fair few years back, I can see a repeat except I'm not sure we're capable of getting 2.

I was there. We went into it in good form lol. Typical burst balloon Everton.
David platt ruined us. And wearing the horrible grey striped kit.
Long old day that.

Might be us like Exeter going to Man City can't wait.

Sunday 5th November in the silver stripes seems like yesterday watching it on the box.

So, points-wise, we're closer to Europe than 17th

Said it the other day, that angle is a load of old horlicks. There’s 7 (?) teams closer to 5th than us, all with better goal difference.
There’s more chance of us dropping to 15th with the teams below us.

McGinn worries me more than someone like Watkins. Always turns up against us.

If Senegal are knocked out on Wednesday are we expecting the other pair to be available for Sunday?

Also has Moyles given any indication when KDH is expected back?

We were top of the table going into that game.... did Mountfield score for them that day?
