Had a browse of newsnow earlier, not done for a while cuz I'm sick of the pro Pardew shite but it looks like people are finally figuring him out, there's a lot of stories being printed against him now, maybe the penny has finally dropped!
It would help if more than 3 players would cross the half way line in any attack, our attacking play is, sideways, sideways, back, sideways, back, hoof to Cisse, defend and repeat.
I can't see them beating Chelsea but they have enough quality to win at Wigan, they're both picking up form at the right time though.
Wigan absolutely pieced Villa earlier in the season, I think they'll still need to win but if not a bit of professional dignity would make you think they'd want to reverse that.
Tbf Villa have been on the end of a few roastings this season, but what he's been trying to do looks like it's starting to work, this is most definitely a different Villa side and like you said there's some dignity and pride to be restored after getting turned over 3-0 at home
Don't think Wigan will have an easy ride as some expect tomorrow and a resurgent Villa may just make up for what they did to us in the relegation season. I have my hopes, I worry for us obviously but there's at least 2-3 other teams that could easily be dragged down even if we don't get another point.
Watching this is going to be akin to washing my eyes with broken glass and then rinsing it out with salty piss. Alas, it's too much of an important match to miss.
The fifth place has bought him most of this season, he could have easily gone in January, but he's been given funds, players and time to make a difference, things have only got worse. He's had his time and he's had his leeway and he's got progressively worse, time's up matey, pack your bags and buy a one way ticket to COCKney land.
