LancsVillan Posted February 2, 2004 Moderator Share Posted February 2, 2004 Given our current injuries and supsensions, let's have a quick poll on where we think we'll finish This will close in FIVE days ie Prior to Leeds game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOTTI-THE-GOD Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I ve gone for 10th-13th an improvement on last season and a sign of better things to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkE Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 The biggest sign of improved fortunes at Villa is the very fact that you didn't feel compelled to put Relegation as an option - this would have been a very realistic option at the start of Dec!

LancsVillan Posted February 2, 2004 Author Moderator Share Posted February 2, 2004 may have been an option but that was on the front page about then. am hoping to see a comparison in feelings between two poll's. A mod might want to put it on there instead up to them really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leucopogon Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Went for 6th-9th. I have to admit when it comes to fickleness I'm right up there. When we lose like we did against ManU the relegation alarm bells start ringing, but when we beat Leicester 5-0 I start thinking Europe. I suppose I should've taken the middle ground and gone for a mid table finish, but what the hey, I'm more optimistic with our new right winger.

LancsVillan Posted February 2, 2004 Author Moderator Share Posted February 2, 2004 whoever it was that voted for 4th should get to a bookies as I believe we are 16/1 to finish there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOTTI-THE-GOD Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I think anybody that can get some consistensey going could grab 4th place , everybody is winning 2 in a row and then loosing 2 in a row thats the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 With confidence, a creative winger and in form strikers we can easily secure a top 10 finish. Look at the teams around us - nothing to fear? As for top 4 I think Newcastle and Liverpool will still finish above us. Yes they are struggling but when they need to they can turn it around. Charlton I think will round out the top 6 and after that - who knows? I think 7th is possible. Anyway we should finish above the shite no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drat01 Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 ok then Ladbrokes are currently showing Barclaycard Premiership 2003/4 SELECTION ODDS BET NOW OR ADD TO MULTIPLE Liverpool 5/4 Newcastle 11/8 Charlton 8/1 Aston Villa 18/1 Everton 25/1 Fulham 25/1 Middlesbrough 25/1 Southampton 28/1 Birmingham 33/1 Bolton 40/1 Blackburn 66/1 Tottenham 66/1 Manchester City 125/1 2004-02-07 12:00:00 Each-way bets 1/5 odds first 3 *Bets will be settled without Manchester Utd, Arsenal or Chelsea being taken in to consideration. Considering everything that has happened last year and the depletion of the squad for this, those are amazing odds against us. I suppose in a way we should look at it as a compliment to the way the team has performed and to DOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LancsVillan Posted February 5, 2004 Author Moderator Share Posted February 5, 2004 just checked and Ladbrokes seem to be offering that 18/1 a 1/5 th odds for 4th in a proper race style therefore you get 18/5 on us finishing 5th OR 6th which isn't too bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattS Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Is it imposible for us to finish 5th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 We (William Hill) are offering even better odds, 25/1 I think. And the each way odds are set at 25/3, but you only get 4th or 5th. Free advertising, don't you just love it! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
