villahagler69 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 5th for me, we have rode our luck for weeks and that wont last. I am over the moon with our current form and position but I think a whooping and a slump is very much in the pipeline. Its all very dependant on who we can get in this month. But you never do know, weve got a winning habit who says it cant last??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 i hope the 7% of people who have put us as finishing champions are joking.... if you really believe that we will finish champions, then there are going to be some disappointed people on Villatalk in May. i voted 4th, but actually have changed my mind - i think we will probably finish 5th, but am hoping we can squeeze into 4th place.

kippervillan Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 think we're playing better than gunners at the moment - more consistent. it will be hard fought, but in the end, i think we'll break into top 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrissmith921 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Champions!!!! Realistically 5th. Unless we sign a striker who can take the heat off Gabby a bit. Then who knows.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably won't happen but when your team is only 5 points off the leaders and are in fantastic form...why the hell not go for it? If we get a few players in, there is no reason to rule out a title challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nath182 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 As much as I would love to finish 4th, I dont think that we are capable of making this go on for the rest of the season, I would say 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrusr Posted January 12, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2009 Heart says 1st, brain says 5th, as mouth is closer to brain I'll say 4th. Really do think it is possible, but if not almost certain 5th, can't really see Everton catching us and certainly no one else below them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted January 12, 2009 Author Moderator Share Posted January 12, 2009 Interesting split. Basically a tie between 4th & 5th. Kind of what I expected. Will be interesting to run this at the end of February and see if (how) opinions have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocafella Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 20% chance of finishing 4th 70% chance of finishing 5th 10% chance of finishing 6th All other outcomes are unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 and yes we where lucky in games like Everton, Hull City, West Ham and West Brom Explain.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR.Smalljob Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Explain.... ok :-) Agbonlahor cross deflected into net by Carson, Milner cross deflecting off W.Ham defender to loop over keeper into net, Young cross smashed into his own net by Hull defender, outplayed and outpassed by Everton but scoring undeserved winner 3mins into stoppage time. That's luck So mate can you really with an honest heart say that we deserved to win thees battles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's luck Even if you believe in the concept of luck, which I generally don't, we had 18 shots at goal against West Brom. A chance cleared off the line, hit the side netting twice and two fantastic saves from Carson. Nevermind the chances that Sidwell and Gabby fluffed. Surely regardless the circumstances surrounding the goal it was a fully deserved 3 points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely regardless the circumstances surrounding the goal it was a fully deserved 3 points? I don't believe the concept of luck either - we create the positions to get into the chances to make the goals we 'luckily score'...if we weren't in said positions we wouldn't get the goals so in my opinion its bullshit. It's not like their players run from the halfway line into their own goal for us to win 1-0 so we are getting in positions... If we are supposedly 'lucky' then are we unlucky for not scoring our chances we missed?? Surely if we are unlucky and lucky in the same game it balances it out for a fair score?

MR.Smalljob Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Surely regardless the circumstances surrounding the goal it was a fully deserved 3 points Sorry don't agree.. maybe only the game at Saturday we deserved 3 points, but it could easy have been 2-2 in that game.. was not pretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellyoakvilla Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 it could easy have been 2-2 in that game.. was not pretty Could have also been 4-1... Ifs, buts, coulds, shoulds, woulds - all irrespective of the final score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 PS DDID, Kings of Leon in your sig? Yeah. Best track on the album, maybe the best they've ever done. They should go out on the lash and record songs when hammered more often. Mr. Smalljob - You are entitled to your opinion. No matter what I say you won't change so, fair play. I will say though, how pretty a match is has absolutely nothing to do with how deserving a side is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
