Thank **** for that. 

Why are we still that club at times. 

Not confident at all

They will be safe. Norwich will rest the whole team. **** sake.

I'm not sure they will. 

5th place is the best way to the final.

This is key I feel.
If Norwich have to go to blues needing something, it will be massive.

Mate

Although just thinking, Norwich won't want Leeds or Ipswich in the first playoff game. They'll want that 5th place

I can live with blues in the bottom 3 and needing to win in the final game.

Norwich's reserves will still do em

 

If hull win tonight they'll still have to try and get something.

Plymouth have absolutely tanked I think they were over 10 points clear of the drop zone at one point, losing Schumacher and Azaz really killed them

I thought beating Leicester was enough for them. 

It's all Norwich for us.

I hate to be negative, but I can't even let myself get too hopeful. If results stay as they are, a last day win will still keep them up if Sheff Weds lose.

And it's the hope that kills you.

Yeah annoyingly they can catch a couple of teams if Norwich put the reserves out. 

Plymouth are worrying me.

Tonight is absolutely massive, winning doesn't guarantee anything but putting 9 points between ourselves and Spuds with their run in would be monumental. Hopefully Villa can shake off the random terrible performance when it counts (a bit like Arsenal away).

Win would be tremendous but a draw would also be decent. 

7 PTS with 3 games in hand still puts pressure on spurs 

Some of you guys need to get a grip. 

This is reaching ridiculous levels.

How long have you got left on your term? Going onto Interest only may not be much less than what you were paying at the moment.

Only concern would be that the shorter your term remaining, if rates don’t come down in 2 years, then your monthly payments will be even higher when you go back onto repayment 

25 years left. 

The increase isn't going to kill us financially but I was just thinking of it as a short term pause with the hope that interest rates come down. 

Yes it will slow down the rate but at some point my wife and I will inherit money and would look to pay a lump sum then in the future.

Personally I’d think about extending the term to reduce the impact on the monthly price rather than go interest only.

Is +£500 the variable rate it’ll go into at the end of the current fixed term, or is it the best deal available today?

Best deal available at the moment. 

My mortgage is set to go up by about £500 in September. 

Is it a crazy idea to remortgage with an interest only mortgage for 2 years and hope interest rates have come down when I remortgage again?

Is it? Emery has got us 4th and talked about in the media. Heck hasn't brought in more money than another 4th place team would command.  

Again in the above interview, he seems to think he's done amazing. I could have been blindfolded and brought in double sponsorship for a 4th place team compared to a relegation fighting team when the last sponsorship deals were agreed.

He has branded us with AU1500 though, credit for that. No idea what that has to do with Villa though.

So he can't do anything then can he. 

Successful sponsorship is just because of on the pitch stuff. Anyone could do it.

Amazingly, our owners trust him and haven't sacked him.

I want to believe this guy is the best we can get. I try to park the misgivings I have.

Then I remember that next year we potentially could have more exposure than we have ever had and that stupid redesigned badge (with a yellow lion, on pale blue with his head being shoved against the top of the new shoeld by the sqeezing in of the name and year underneath!) will be how we are represented and I just think "what a bad, bad job" has been made of that and how shoddy the treatment of fans' intelligence/ contribution to the first consultation was.

But that's subjective. You might not like it. 

The aim is to build the brand and bring in more money. That's happening and then some. 

Maybe we should trust the man to do his job. 

Some really dislike Heck. 

He was brought in to sort these things out and he's doing it.

I'd much rather it be the LB doing that. Torres as the LB doesn't inspire any trust in me. Whereas Konsa as the RB is good defensively. 

Mings as the LB would make sense if he's fit enough.

Couldn’t care less about the merits or otherwise of VAR. I simply don’t like it, it disrupts games and takes away its spontaneity. I’ll take the game decisions as the ref sees it, warts and all. 

Absolutely. I wanted VAR, I thought it was crazy we didn't have it but god I'd go back in a heartbeat now. 

I was worried that we'd thrown away all that he'd done with the appointment of Gerrard. But now it's nice to see his good work laying the foundations for the incredible job Unai has done. 

Our key players are ones he brought to this club. He must feel some pride at that.
