Aston Villa Banter Archive April 01 2013 to May 01 2013

01 May 2013 18:15:47
Sunderland now a man down for the last 3 games. What a shame.

Worry about your own team can't see you winning on Saturday will get nothing off Chelsea and will find it difficult getting anything off wigan if they need to stop up you need to worry about goal difference as I can't see Newcastle getting much in their last 3 games

Do you follow football? Norwich are awful and getting worse and wigan are below us. In 2013 villa have beat every team around them, so how you can say with such confidence we will get nothing at norwich and wigan I have no idea!

Villa only need to beat Norwich to have a better good & points than them. Already have better good than all teams below them. So many Norwich supportres bare a grudge about PL, frankly they have never changed their jobs for a better opportunity.

Just had my monthly check on the norwich banter page to see what rubbish they've came up with lately and right away I see a post saying paul lambert is returning to norwich at the end of this season! they are in a dreamland bless them! If they're lucky he might buy every fan a lamboghini and take them to willy wonka's chocolate factory! You can tell they're jealous of what we are starting but they're too scared to admit it!

Haha belive me mate a lot if Norwich fans have commented on that rumour lmao as a Norwich fan he's a ledgend here and respected for what he done but the board didn't trust him with the money that's why he left. But the thing is fans from all teams have persons don't mean all of us are. I love the game and love every single game win lose or draw. I enjoy watching every game not just Norwich. let's have a nice friendly game at weekend and hope wigan lose lol.

I am not jealous of what Lambert is doing for you, if you remember he did the same for us, I am dissapointed he did not stay for another season, if he had stayed and managed to keep us in the prem fair enough, job done, he could not take us any further. Give it a couple of years and he will probably move on from you, as for the comment on the NCFC page I don't know, it was not from a real Norwich Fan.

It was a generalisation, but you have to admit there are a few to many cookoo's on your banter page! And fair point about what lambert did with norwich, but he did that from league 1 and got as far as the prem, and literally could not go any further, we have the advantage of starting in the prem, this season it will probably be 16th/17th place, but then next season it will be higher, as will the 3rd year! If he takes us as far as back onto the europa league then its job done for him, but you have to think he'd want to stay and manage a team in europe, no disrespect to norwich, but he has to have some ambitions and norwich we're never going to be playing in europe let's be honest!

The problem was not lambert the problem was the board way before lambert wanted to leave. Lambert requested money for his 4th year and they rejected then when villa come asking he left simple as. I don't think any team will make Europe unless they win the fa cup like Swansea. No way villa will make 5th spot. Also cash in on benteka next season think he will flop as people will mark him and he is not good enough if teams put 2 players on him

No my point is norwich have gone as far as possible can and fair play to them, but villa were 6th for 3 seasons under MON and us to be close to relegation has only been a trend this season and a bit of last, we haven't left the league in longer than norwich have been formed. My point is that lambert took a league one side and made them premier league, but he could take an already prem team with bag loads of potential and history and turn them back into a force again. As for benteke I agree that he's flop else where but only because he wouldn't be the main man, it doesn't matter who marks him, liverpool put carragher, johnson and lucas on him from goal kicks and he still ran them ragged!

30 Apr 2013 20:49:12
God the media are more fickle than the fans! First we are so naive, we need experience, kids will get us relegated. I kid you not a web site were talking about what an example villa set and all clubs should buy young English talent and believe in a philosophy omg! Us villa fans have been telling you lot this all season! People raving on about the Beast but for me player if the season is Matt Lowton!

Dave80

For me its Westwood and Syilla deserves a mention

I agree with lowton, looked shaky at first but with each game he has improved. His distribution is far more consistent than Huttons was and he can defend as well to be fair to him. Great but. Although benteke and westwood defo run him close and then there's weimann. At least some of our young players have really stepped up, it's a shame the likes of bannan, Clark and Bennett weren't as consistent

30 Apr 2013 14:40:34
Lambert's Signings who's your pick of the best with the exception of Benteke

Vlaar 3m (Solid defender)

Lowton 2.5m (gets better every game)

Westwood 2.5m ( exceptional pass completion rate)

Syilla 1. 25m (the steel we've been lacking in midfield)

Bennett 2.5m (after a serious of mistakes improving)

Guzan free (been cemennted between the sticks since resigning)

KEA 3m (for me plays in fads)

Holman 2.5m ( has exceptional workrate if only his pass/cross was as good)

Bowery 2m (has shown some flickers of what to expect from him)

who would your pick be mine is Westwood

Lowton, can attack as good as any modern day full back in the game but unlike a lot, he's exceptional at defending as well! can't remember the last time he put a foot wrong, sylla and westwood both come close second, westwood is so calm on the ball and finds a man almost every time and sylla just presses and presses, never stops running, never stops winning the ball! All we've needed all season is for all of them to mature, get used to the pace, and learn to play with each other, our form in 2013 has been better than anybody's in the bottom half and last night showed how good things will become!

Low ton for me, quality of the ball, goal of the season v stoke and great ball for Weiman v Sunderland!

Personally can't rate any them. vlaar when fit has been a dodgy cb. westwood is showing promise but still long way off a prem player. they rest are just not looking like getting any better or good ebough for this level. only one I think is a stand out player in a bad season is lowton, at start looked bad and was looking like another hutton but last few months has really impressed and last night was even man of match for me

Can't rate any of them? Clearly a troll.

Westwood not prem quality? 97% pass rate!

It's amazing what a 6-1 win can do, I have been looking back over this site and none of those quotes have been mentioned before.

No not a troll at all. just made a spelling mistake. all we have heard from everyone on this site is how weak bannan and westwood are and they ain't good enough, he's had few good games suddenally you act like he's better than scholes

If i'm honest, I check this page daily and all season people have had nothing but praise for westwood!

Bannan is weak and to small but his skill on dead ball opportunities is emense

30 Apr 2013 11:19:03
The six fingers from Norfolk, where are their posts now? I kind of hope Wigan don't lose on Wednesday we beat Norwich and then we an troll the hell out of their pages.

Dude some of us Norwich fans here was very impressed with villa and have never slagged villa off I hope you stay up. Kinda hope we draw and wigan lose be extra point each. But good
Luck

30 Apr 2013 07:55:48
My hat goes off to paul lambert and our scouts! Not only have they found sheer quality, but they're found young hungry players with room for improvement! Matt lowton, benteke and sylla are the best buys for me! Up until january we had a real problem with closing people down, especially on the wings! but then sylla came in, and he presses people in ever corner of the pitch, and his strength and ability to win the ball amazes me! He'll be pressing the right back, then he'll be tackling the left wing! Its amazing how much he runs. He may not have to technical ability like some but he's strong, can turn a player easily and his lungs must be 4 of mine put together! Has anybody got the stats for distance covered last night? I'd be interested to see how far he ran! Overall great team performance, haven't played like that in 3 season! UTV

Don't forget Westwood he has been a quality buy 2 never misses a pass or gets depossed

And there's Lowton

I mentioned lowton and westwood has been a quality buy too! We've bought so many different players from so many different teams that all do their job brilliantly!

30 Apr 2013 07:03:25
Great performance Norwich fan here I think if wigan lose to Swansea that's it game over

29 Apr 2013 22:43:18
Well done Aston villa you were unreal you made us look crap but we are crap so there goes but well done. Sunderland fan

Sunderland will be fine, but di canio had that coming! 35,000 fans and probably 11 players all hate his guts for what he did at swindon, that was payback in the sweetest possible way!

29 Apr 2013 22:00:50
Superb! VTID

I'm speechless after that.
(First time for everything I suppose)
Lowton was man of the match for me
Mendax

Mendax I would like to apologise for saying I would settle for a point! Although maybe me being negative for once helped in some myserious way! I can't pick a man of the match, lowton was unreal, gabby was unstopable and taking the mick by the end and benteke got the hat-trick. Although i'm not bothered about man of the match, all I care about right now is us keeping that confidence in us, and playing like that for the rest of the season and next! I really believe that any of the lads that might have been looking for the exit door might have changed their minds tonight! Who would want to leave a team that can produce an atmosphere like that. You won't find that at a Manchester United game

For me not only was Lowton brilliant but so was Syilla and Delph and don't forget the powerhouse that is Christian Benteke

29 Apr 2013 10:19:47
Ron vlaar as captain saying he might have to leave if we get relegated don't help good job it's not going to happen

Vlarr has hardly set the world alight, he should keep his mouth shut till the end of the season! VTID

Attitude like that I say we look at shipping him off in summer then, don't want the sort of negativity around the young lads

When did he say this as he's been bigging the team up ahead of tonight as well as accepting the team has performed below par this season

He said it would put his world cup place at risk if he dropped a division tv

The article you lot are talking about had no quotes from him. It's the media doing there job of stirring stuff up for the sake of it.

Sorry are you ron vlaars mom he did say he would consider his future if we got relegated for his world cup place so no misquote there mrs vlaar

28 Apr 2013 12:39:33
just reading through some of your posts you all need to wake up!win your next 3 games when was the last time yous won 3 in a row, I hope villa stay up and wigan and newcastle go down atleast villa and wigan know they are s**** but newcastle actually think they are a top 6 side?

Not win the next 3, win 3 out of 4. Also when was the last time anybody in the bottom half won 3 in a row. Your comment is also made invalid by the fact that its more than possible to win 3 out of 4 because we did exactly that before the fulham game, beating QPR, reading and stoke and losing to liverpool. 3 of the teams we have to play are relegation candidates and one is chelsea, so its basically the same run of fixtures as the last time we won 3/4 games

Win the next two and that should be enough. Three would be certain.

Yep. Especially with wigan and norwich's fixtures. I'll take a draw tomorrow though considering the form sunderland are in!

Sunderland are ostensibly a poor side who have managed to win 2 games in a row and you would take a draw?
Exactly which of our last 4 games would you want us to go for the win in then?
This is not the time for accepting the odd point. We have to win tomorrow
Mendax

Yes but taking into consideration the fact they were completely awful, di canio has come in and beat newcastle 3-0 an everton 1-0, and for sunderland that's not exactly a little stroke of luck! If i'm totally honest i'm worried they'll smash us all over the park, hence why a point will suit me, as i'm fairly certain we will win at norwich and wigan. I'm all for optimism, before the man united game I was saying it silly going into games expecting to lose, but we do also have to be realistic, while 3 points would be brilliant, a point will still give us a hand and we can't be too distraught it we don't win!

27 Apr 2013 19:47:23
Newcastle have been smashed! VTID

Happy days
Now come on Villa beat Sunderland and drag Newcastle into this dog fight

27 Apr 2013 17:00:20
Spurs have done us half a favour, just. But i'm more curious about norwich losing yet another game to yet another team in the relegation scrap. IF we take the 3 points from sunderland, I think norwich will be in a lot of trouble. Along with QPR and reading there a team anybody in the league would want to play, strange that, surely there's some sort of connection. Looks like a lot of norwich fans may have got a bit too excited a bit too soon. And simply because they always compare themselves to us, they once again failed to score against a team we put 3 past! Its really not looking good for them now is it? UTV

Its looking nice at the moment

Norwich always under preform against the poor teams, so you should be in for 3 points next week.

Norwich fan here it's not the players it's the manager. He has the team so defensive. Even a few norwich players have said they want to get forward more but the manager likes us to hold position. Well when a manager says that there's not going to be any attacking or goals. It's sad for me to say this that norwich could quite easly go down but so could villa Wigan Newcastle Sunderland. I think Wigan might have chewed off to much this time. I mean if norwich lose All there games Wigan still need 6 points to catch them. And if by magic norwich pick up a win anywhere think there safe. Aston villa should beat Sunderland but if they don't maybe villa heads will drop.

Dont Norwich always underperform regardless?

26 Apr 2013 19:20:05
against sunderland my line up would be

guzan

lowton vlaar baker clarke
elmadhi
westwood delph

weiman benteke agbonlahor


?

I'd go with N'zogbia or Syilla instead of KEA

KEA deserves to play improve the performance against untied on Monday.

A mixture of united sitting back and el ahmadi coming on did put our foot in the door in the second half, arguable we out played them in the second half. His seasons been up and down really so I feel a bit sorry for him. I think all the players from holland are proving how hard it is to adjust to the premier league! Hopefully next season KEA and holman can improve the fitness massively as that seems to be the biggest problem. Hopefully then they can start learning to read the game better and start putting in the performances!

Holman for me should get game time more than KEA as his workrate is second to none, Fitness is definately not an issue with him shot and pass accuracy might be an issue as he tends to rush them in his desire to impress

Holmans work rate is high but his fitness is a big big problem for me! Yet to see him play for longer than 70 minutes, even when he's having brilliant games he gets taken off with 20 gone, I think that's why he hasn't started many games! He also needs to learn how to watch the ball because a few times i've seen him run in the completely wrong direction! Both can be very good players with some work

26 Apr 2013 06:36:13
Any team wanna take doomboy as a fan he is a very good story teller I think he was a personal friend of William mcgregor

Hey Oberon, your friend "doom boy" See the immiediate post about stuffing the canaries etc and the replies. Makes you look a complete nutter. I POSTED THE QUESTION, look at what others are saying. Puts your silly comments into perspective. They think Villa are "doomed" So many people that disagree with your opinion. Glad that you have realised that my loyalty is without doubt. Now tell me honestly what do you thgink will happen over the next 4 games. Come on give a football reply, not cheap jibes.

People this getting STUPID now! VTID

Hi VTID. You are totally correct.

This doomboy person whoever he is talks more about himself than are team he's not the only one who is aware of shakespeares work concentrate on the villa mr meldrew

The reason that I have had to post about myself is that the guy/girl I have named Oberon suggested that I am a bluenose and I have indicated my history with Villa.
I have been given this nom. as I dared to comment that we were not safe. I thought it a fair comment.

23 Apr 2013 17:57:22
If we beat Blunderland, we could move 6 points clear of Wigan, who face a reallly difficult task of Spurs

But we wont

Oh we will!! definatley along side norwich aswell!!

23 Apr 2013 13:52:51
Why we didn't buy a good CM (Non of this we need experince rubbish, we just needed a quality CM ) in january for 12m is about to cost us 30m + so depressing

I agree that we don't need experience, an over payed player that won't run around and work his socks off? No thank you! If we can up the spending a little bit we can get somebody with a few years of top level experience but still room for improvement!

23 Apr 2013 07:10:43
okay had our day out, 3 offside goals against us but fair play to the champions! come on you villa 2 must win games and we are safe! come on you villa boys!!!!!!

22 Apr 2013 21:25:53
one thing for certain we are s**** going down i'm afraid well done lambert you muppet. VILLA FORLIFE.

You wanted him, now man up and live with it

Lambert is still the man to make villa a force again. Can't remember the last villa manager with an eye for a player without paying a ridiculous price for them. It's going to be close but we will stay up. Wigan have 5 games in a 2 week period as well as the fa cup, I think will be to much for them. For all you Norwich fans hating; time to move on, we all know lambert is a good manager but so is hougton and he will do a very good job for you.

IT was F**king MAN U grow up we was never going to win that game but we have 3 very winnable games Sunderland, Norwich, and a direct shoot out with Wigan on the last game

Yes we did and I have faith we'll take 9 points out of our remaining matches
and stay up

34 points from 34 games, now 9 points from 4 games.

Games are running out, pressure is building up, lamberts looking nervous, team full of inexperienced youngsters. not looking promising is it?

22 Apr 2013 20:13:46
Haha-----2 nil :-)

Get off the line martinez

22 Apr 2013 18:03:26
Waiting for mr doom boy supposed villa fan to come on here with another negative post what a bluenose he is

Hi dipstick, " doom boy" here. Told you before that I am a pure Villa man but I have reallity in mind. I want to see Villa win the league again, I saw them last time. The European Cup, thg 57 FA cup, League cups, been to all the finals. How old are you. Thought so a mere child with no sense. One day you will get real and cease trying to insult people who are vastly superior to your limited ability. Wake up and smell the air around you. It must smell very bad if you keep doubting others.

I find it difficult to understand why someone who must be pushing 60 (assuming you were at least 4 years old in 1957) would call themselves "doom boy"? the use of the word "cease" does not make you sound older, it fdoes however make you sound like a fifa playing teen with a thesaurus (its like a dictionary but with different words), or perhaps "doom boy" is an ironic nickname from your days fighting in the crimea?
anyway, I reckon we are going to stay up but I will prob have at least 4 heart attacks before the final whistle goes against wigan. I have supported villa since 1985 when my dad took me when I was six, don't really remember much about the game but do remember being highly amused by the amount of swearing I heard and my dads futile attempts to take over it :)
villa forever and if we do go down see you all back at villa park next year to cheer on the lads again

Very good post this fella comes on here and just has nothing positive to say about the team and doomboy seems to be a good name for him defo got to be a nose

Doom boy was given to me by a dipstick that has no reality. He or perhaps she, believes in fairies. I am in fact nearer 75 and fit as a fiddle and have watched Villa for almost all of that time. Instead of cease I will use "stop" as you clearly understand English. As you will be able to see, my loyalty to Villa is unquestionable. 1985, you haven't even served your time. I really hope that we win all the remaining games and stay in the prem. However, at present we are going to have to rely on other teams losing. That is the simple truth of the matter, and if you are unable to accept that fact then not only are you naive you are stupid. I do love a good argument. Keep going.

He was also there in 1874 when villa were formed mcdoomboy

Just looked at this post doomboy and seems to me your more interested in making up stories about your romance with villa I personally think walter Mitty would be a better name for someone like you who seems never to say anything positive about the team so even in your fantasy world that you've seen villa everywhere why would we want a fan like you get ready to clean your skateboard this sites for proper villa fans nose

Doom boy are you posing an philosophical debate by suggesting someone "has no reality"? terrifying concept but cetainly interesting. Served my time? Do you really see your support of villa as a prison sentance? i'm afraid its hardly a good arguement as your using matchsticks for your foundations. I do understand english but was suggesting that your use of certain words or phrases is simply to make yourself seem like a titan of intellect (vastly superior to your limited ability?) when in fact anyone of the generation you claim to be from wouldn't talk like that due to the social climate they grew up in. People of your supposed age are generally (apologies I know it is a generalisation and dom boy could be the exception to the rule) more appreciative of what they have and less derogatory (sorry spelling) of other people. i'm sorry dome boy but I do not believe for one second you are older than about 17 (physically of course) mentally is anyones guess.
as for having some reality of my own, if we win all of our remaining games we will most likely stay up, if we lose them all we will go down and there are many combinations of results that can save or sink us and that is the reality of the situation but your support of the villa cannot be questioned especially with your positivity about our chances of survival on this site. oh erm hang on a moment, derp

So sorry to disagree. People of my generation see what has gone before and see the wasters inlife now ruining everything. If this includes you then perhaps you are a cause of the problems. AS for the reality. anyone that thinks WE/VILLA are safe must be missing the plot. But that is where we came in!

21 Apr 2013 17:39:39
If Man U win us tomorrow they win the league
So they will be at their very best and I don't think the defence will cope with Rooney or RVP to be honest

Man Utd will want the glory in front of their fans, they will not be content with a 1-0, they will want to win in style, if you can manage to postpone their party you deserve to stay in the league. Norwich Fan.

20 Apr 2013 18:33:15
So being a villa fan I'm now worried. I guess we have to hope wigan Lose all there games I said I could see us getting results against Sunderland and Norwich. But with Sunderland and Norwich winning today they will have a lot of confidence and I'm kind of hoping Norwich beat stoke so when we play them there safe and might do us a favour. But we have man u and Chelsea which are basically loses. Then we have games vs Sunderland and Norwich who knows what can happen but if we lose them then last game will be intresting against wigan.

Last relegation place between Villa and Wigan :-)

Your the Doom man again. you are a bluenose, admit it.

There is no way Norwich will be doing you any favors I'm afraid

Well in all fairness I can't see any club doing any favours as you put it, but I hope the ref does us all one and send Benteke off tomorrow night
He's your only chance of staying up.

Someone is a fantasist with no idea about reality. People like you that ridicule others should look in the mirror to find the clown. I have been there, losing the last game of the season, winning the last game of the season, to survive. don't doubt fellow supporters who have lived through the s-i- times at VP. There is an old phrase that sums you up, it takes one to know one. Is that because you are the Bluenose.

Don't matter what the score is I'm villa but you think your the only one that has seen bad times at villa stop slagging the team off and find somebody else to support doom boy

18 Apr 2013 14:28:40
Who would of foreseen west ham drawing to Man u maybe we can nick a draw on Monday fingers crossed

You wish, get ready for a Fergie backlash. unlucky ;-)

Keep the faith we always outplay Man u for 80mins we only have to do it for a extra 10 even if we sneak a draw that'll be something

Almost certain to miss out at Utd so we must look for salvation elsewhere. A QPR win, the same for Reading, WEst Ham and the toffee's would mean that we would stay in the same place if we fail to get the victory. But if we get a draw then we will gain on every body. Do you really think that we could get a draw, let alone a win? Lord HaHa from Norwich can be discounted when he comments as we only want sensible thoughts not ridiculous bile pent up over the last season.

Haha. shame your prediction and reliance on other teams isn't going to plan. (bet you don't win very often at the bookies). QPR, Reading to go down with Village and Wigan to fight it out on the last day. not looking very hopeful for you :-)

So the canaries scored today and just hung on at the end. Makes a change for you to witness a win. If I remember correctly you have been posting that canary town will relegate Villa. Shame your prediction isn't going to plan. Could be a demon of a game on your field, hope you are not too confident about thye result. Have they got the plough out yet to prepare the pitch. Never win at the bookies as I always go for a Norwich win.

That's rich suggesting others comments should be discounted. look at your score predictions! Anything you say should be discounted also

Interesting to see how people misread comments. At no point is there a score prediction, just a comment on what would be great results. As for discount, 100% of your statements should be good for everyone.

17 Apr 2013 07:47:18
hope city smash wigan tonight 7 - 0

9-0 would be better but i'd settle for 4-0 which beat or goal diffeence

I will be happy with 1-0 to city.

Might now be happy with a draw!

Important weekend coming up

come on you villa!!!

No chance of anything on Monday, except shell shock 6 -0 United Rooney RVP on warpath

15 Apr 2013 11:58:39
6 points from 5 games beat sunderland and norwich and were safe?

With our goals differnce I am not sure that 40 will be enough
The table is becoming very congested and we could need 41/42 to be certain
Mendax

It would seem that the canaries could be a crucial match. Thier goal diff. at the moment is getting close to ours but we have MU & Chelsea, and they won't do us any favours. Sunderland is a vatal match but have they just got the right man to save them. I will settle for 1-0, 1-1 with Norwich and the same with Wigan. That would give 39 so we then need at least a point from the other two games. Who do you think will be the best chance to get the other point?

Norwich fan, would you take a point from the game on 4th May? it may well be a good result for both teams, after all the banter between us about who will win the game, and who will finish higher up the table, I had my money on Sunderland going down, let's be honest if they have found a new lease of life its squeaky bum time for us all.

Wigan will go down they have the hardest run with the cup final

14 Apr 2013 13:51:19
After today's result (Sunderland have 3 shots and score despite Newcastle battering them) we need to fight for everything now! Come on the Villa.

13 Apr 2013 17:58:00
Disappointing result today as we needed the win, played well but missed out. Utd game now is crucial not only for points but goal difference. We need the Magies to thump thier neighbours. Canaries lost and that is good. Reading get a point, Rangers look doomed. Are the bottom two now in place? One place to go, Wigan, Stoke, S'land, Norwich and us. What do we expect, it is very close. We have Sunderland, Norwich and Wigan, and they need the points. I am not confident.

You must be a bluenose with comments like that prob don't now where villa park is fool

QPR and Reading are defiantly going down. The last place is the hardest to pick. I don't think it will be us. I think that it might be Wigan at last. They have survived just in the last couple of seasons. They had a hard run in so I don't think that they will survived. It will probably be Sunderland though. They have the hardest run in out of everybody. Also they appointed Di Canio who won't be able to cut it in the premier league. So I think that the bottom three will be Sunderland, Reading and qpr.

Sunderland and Wigan pal both getting the last place wouldn't like to be behind you at mcdonalds drive threw could be a long wait

In reply to the poster that suggested I was a bluenose. Wake up, smell the air around you. I have been a Villa man for more years than you can remember. Engage your brain cell before you make rash statements. To the other clever clown that questioned my judgement, also turn your brain on. The result today is evidence that we are not out of the woods, Sunderland will not be a forgone conclusion at VP. Norwich and Wigan away, again not easy. Man. U & Chelsea, I know you think we will win both games. Do me a favour.

Hope the players don't come on here to see your comments negative to the max you got to be a bluenose pal

Geezer defo a nose or related to alan hansen

10 Apr 2013 08:51:10
If we assume that QPR and Reading will be relegated; who do you think will join them, and why?

Personally I think sunderland, although stoke and norwich ought to be careful. Us, wigan, southampton and newcastle are all winning our games, especially against those around us. Stoke and norwich play boring football and it will come back to haunt them! They've spent all season playing for draws and you just can't get away with that when the bottom 10 is as close as it is

I think qpr and reading and the last spot could be anyone I'm not going to dig up out team because anything could happen. It's so close the problem I have is If Norwich Southampton Newcastle stoke pick up a win and wigan us and Sunderland don't it will be between us 3. Norwich have us reading and WBA which are 2-3 winnable games at home. I think it will be sunderland. But there's always a shock Norwich might beat arsenal away and then you have to say there safe.

I would like it too be Norwich so the Carrott Road faithful learn that a season is very long and very interchangeable. But I think it could be Sunderland, Stoke or Wigan. Stoke are nose diving and confidence will be at its lowest at the britannia than anywhere else my money is on them atm

The bottom of the table this year is more exciting, this year I think it will go down to the wire,

I don't want it to be Norwich I mean there's always words said between us and them but its just a little banter and fun to get the blood boiling. I think if Norwich go down it will be a big shame a club that's debt free and buying players like rvw is good for the league why should the top 6-8 teams get all the best players. Same as benteke he could go in 4 of the top 8 teams easy but why should they always have who they want. I think it's time for the villas Norwich and them teams to start getting players who can give the top 6-8 a good run for there money. Would it not be nice to have 10-12 teams able to win the EPL :) {Ed007's Note - Can I ask you why you post as both a Norwich AND a Villa fan? Are you ill?}

Are you a liberal mp mr clown undecided who gets your support

Hi Ed, This is probably the guy that sends stupid texts about how Canaries are going to relegate Villa. Now getting very worried about the descent of carrot crunchers towards the chumpionship. For all of his crowing I would like to see Norwich take the drop. The only good thing to come out of Norwich. The A11 back to civilisation.

Not looking good for Carrot Road

Looking at the run in of the teams battling to avoid the drop it doesn't look good for Village, predictions of beating Fulham at home coming to nothing, Man U and Chelsea to come. oh dear

According to the Daily Mail, Benteke wants to stay and has started talks over a new contract. It obviously depends on staying up, but he feels he needs to stay to get onto Belgium's WC squad. It would be a double your money deal.

I hope this is true

Am I wrong or has Clark been missing for our last 4 games? Nothing against the guy but he makes awful errors (man City) and when you look at stills of goals conceded you will find Clark watching.

He hasn't missed 4 games he's missed two liverpool and stoke

Ok, but he still makes mistakes that cost us goals throughout the season

Agreed, if you watch every corner we've conceded this season, 90% of the time clark isn't marking anybody (strange considering he's a CB and we play man marking) and instead he's pointed and shouting at everybody else in the box to do something! Baker is 10x better as he will throw himself at anything he can and he tackled hard but is still sensible and rarely gets into the book! and he's 2 years younger, I can't imagine what he'll be like with two more years of experience and constant game time.

Arsenal fan here,

Just wanted to ask your opinions on were you think Benteke is going to be playing football next season?

Would absolutely love the guy at Arsenal of course, but is he loyal to vila? any noises about this in the stands at matches?

cheers, and goodluck for the rest of the season.

He'll see out his contract I think. If I was managing a big club I wouldn't take a risk on him just yet, its his first season, defences don't know what to expect, I think its best for everybody involved to see how he does next season and get another years experience in this league, there's a big risk that players like this will be a one season wonder so to me it makes sense to give him another year here or even his conract!

Benteke will be at Villa Park next season. That is unless someone comes up with an offer of £30m. Know its a lot, but that is the only way Lerner will let him go.

As i've just said on the rumours page benteke is now set for a new contract for 40k a week but only if we stay in the premier league

Lambert will decide if Benteke or any other player is to leave, if your board decide to cash in on players without approval from Lambert you will be looking for a new manager, he won't stand for it, and move on himself.

Great result today, couldn't be there. Had to decorate the bedroom as the wife said that I have been doing it for 6 months. We should be able to get the 2 wins needed now and not have to rely on beating the the country clowns who keep coming on our site. However we should give them a spanking on the cabbage field they call carrot patch. Lambert said believe. I do, do you?

06 Apr 2013 17:26:59
Great result should of put ten past them so brilliant finish to still going at the end nice for us to score late on for a change now the nets trawling them in final push now Stoke are even worse than farmer giles fc which is saying something they will be giving free nappys at all the remaining carrot crunchers games we will relegate you ohhh arrrh

Newcastle fan in peace
Great result today, well done lads.
A great club like Villa should be at the top of the table!
Hope Newcastle and Villa are safe at the end of the season as have had great banter with Villa fans when visiting Villa Park.
well done lads, good luck for the rest of the seson.

Fair play mate, good luck vs Fulham tomorrow, soften them up for us. VTID

Good luck newcastle

I wonder if Burke and grealish will be in the villa squad Saturday

A lot of norwich fans seem to be misspelling norwich as aston villa and ending up on our page, and ironically, the closer to them we get the more dim-witted one eyed persons there are. I would of took criticism from any norwich fan before christmas but now they're in almost as much trouble as us. They ought to spend less time coming on our page to mock us an paul lambert and more time on preparing themselves for a bit of squeaky bum time when we beat them and they're fighting for their lives and trying desperately to get their strikers to stick the ball in the net! Watch your backs boys, you're not even halfway to safety yet! Come on you villa!

Norwich fan I agree mate if some Norwich fans would do what this sites for in supportin your club and come on here for rumours then maybe everyone would just have a good laugh. I personally hope Norwich and villa stay
Up if that means losing to villa long as we are safe then ill be happy I want qpr reading and Newcastle or Sunderland to go. I still like Paul lambert only problem is he has always left a club after 3 years. But good luck guys for the rest of season let's hope we can pull away from the bottom.

Are U-19s won the NextGen cup today. Doesn't matter what league we are in it looks like we might have a good future. Graham Burke scored both of the goals today could do with a exciting young striker coming through the ranks.

We have the best kids in europe do we really need to look any further for signings and dedication?

The goals were penalties but yeah we certainly have a good team coming through if we can hold onto them

01 Apr 2013 11:00:39
Need Fulham to win today so we can just look at above us instead of behind. It would mean that we can then look at finishing above QPR, Sunderland and Norwich.

The teams relegated will be QPR, reading and Sunderland.
