stato Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 They have now matched a 101-year-old club record of 11 undefeated games since a run of three wins and eight draws in 1908. Link Yet STILL they look up at the Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You earn your luck in this game, to be fair, last year when we got out-played at Everton, West Ham, etc..in our unbeaten run, did we say it was all down to luck? Of course we didn't. Obviously it's about time they lose 3/4 in a row but in football, you earn your luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vojskovoda Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 **** hell... those saddos on sha are obsessed with the "form table" checking if they're still top etc... that's the mentality of fans who support a small club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why people defend them is beyond me! Yeah some people might say it's luck, however when Villa went on a long unbeaten run last year, we had some own goals, that Hull incident and out-played for large periods of games but I never claimed we were geting lucky, I said you earn any luck you get and that's how you play in the formation we were set upto do.

Demitri_C Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 lets not forget tehy have been fortunate for example stoke should have had a stone wall penalty that wasnt given. teams missing absolute sitters against them. its all good now, as things are going well but if they hit a rocky patch and yeung starts interfering like he is notorious for then it will all go pear shaped. the worst thing is we have to go to the sty again next season. hate that oil slick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Don't give a shit whether they're getting lucky or not. There is no question that they'll be, at best, fighting for a position in the top half come the end of the season. if they're within 10 points of the last Europa League place I'll be shocked.

Richard Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Anyone still laughing? I'll be interested in the reactions on here should they spend big in January In addition I was wondering about potential FA Cup winners this year. Normally it is a club who is in a good run of form about this time of year, well they are in good form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiganvillain Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Was it only me or did anyone else hear the phone in on WM on Saturday when they said McLeish had told the board he didn't want £40 million in January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hev Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Must admit, I'm with Richard on this. I don't see what we have to laugh about with them at the moment, they could well beat Man U at the weekend and could end up overtaking us if we're not careful. Can't understand though how Carson Yeung struggled to find the money to complete the deal two years ago and GOld etc said they would never do business with him again and now, he seems to have money and is the best thing since sliced bread. Hmm weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I'm still laughing. Isn't this their best start ever? While we have a few sections of the crowd who want our manger out and we're still above them, Cup SF to boot. I'm sure I'll be laughing harder come their results against United, Chelsea and Spurs this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
