PaulC Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 The way I see it, If we beat Sunderland we stay up. (We never make anything easy for ourselves though so......)I see it that way too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa-revolution Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Off to the bookies tomorrow to collect my winnings/losings. Had a couple of quid each on Swansea, Reading & Southampton to go down. I placed the bet in August. Mathematically the saints could still go down but I doubt it. Anyone else put their money where their mouth is & have a flutter on QPR & Reading & find yourself now waiting/sweating on one other team so that you can confidently say that you have `licked up the bookies?` Or are you predominantly a loser just lime me because let's face it 1out of 3 ain't good!

Zatman Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 after weekend I believe Newcastle are in big trouble. West Ham be fired up with their Newcastle connections and Arsenal fighting Champions LEague spot on last day. The game vs QPR in between will be an awful nervous game for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 If I'm totally honest, I've kind of given up on hoping we get ourselves out of trouble. I genuinely think the time will come (probably Tuesday) when Villa fans will have to become fans of whichever club Wigan are playing. We're that bad.

Stevo985 Posted April 29, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 29, 2013 Guys, stop citing CHelsea's 3 games in a week as a reason we might get something. Last time we played them they had 3 games in a week, including games on the other side of the world, and they bent us over and made us see God. We might get something from the game, but it won't be because of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaForever1970 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yeah Newcastle will get a result against QPR which will keep them up.QPR have no interest in anything, wouldn't surprise me if they finished bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaCas Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Positives and negatives for me and it still leaves me unsure of what the future can hold under Lambert. I really hoped that by this point I'd be well convinced that Lambert would be the right man for us. That's a fair enough assessment I think - I'm a bit more positive on him than you are I suspect and for me there are two reasons for persisting - firstly, we need to build some sort of stability and I certainly don't think he's harmful in the same way as the previous manager, and secondly for McLeish, my feeling is that the first half of his season wasn't bad and the second half got worse whereas for Lambert, it feels like we've improved in the second half of the season - in my head, that forms a big curve with the current end pointing upwards - it might not actually be true, I haven't checked whether it stacks up in terms of the stats, but it's how it seems to me. It'd be a lot easier to have faith in having the right man if we had another three or four points though - these are fine margins and I suspect they're gong to be very important. Here to help - You're spot on with your assessment PS this chart is a big hit with some of our friends here especially Morpheus and BJ10 - hard to argue with the facts though isn't it.

VillaCas Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) Wigan - Spurs. Told you so :-/ Could've been worse but could've been better. Now to take care of bi'ness. Sunderland's derby game was a one-off and suddenly it doesn't look so impressive now Newcastle have been slaughtered over the weekend. Their result against Everton was a good one but two half decent performances don't mean that they've turned the corner. We've improved this year and I can see us bringing Sunderland down with a bump tonight. I also think we can beat Norwich and take something from the Chelsea game, leaving the drop between Wigan, Norwich and Newcastle Edited April 29, 2013 by VillaCas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just shows that you can play around with graphs to present a distorted view of the real world. The reality is that, match for match, Lambert has achieved roughly the same level of performance as McLeish. The way that graph is presented blatantly and crudely seeks to present a different impression and is technically questionable because the averaging for this season is split into two parts to overaggerate periods of "progress" under Lambert. It doesn't present the "facts", it portrays them in a particular spin. Different presentations would show a different story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I don't really see how else you'd present the graph. It's not "distorted" to tell us that Lambert has achieved better, rather it just shows that we've been improving since the Christmas period.

Never ignore the spidey sense when it tingles, for it is a sense currently unexplainable by science... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
