ponsaelius Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I just got a very, funny nervous feeling when I realised it's now Sunday. Just the thought of it, by 6pm tonight we could know for sure that we will be playing Championship football next season. Shit, I've know for ages we could go down, but just thinking about it like that now is a horrible realisation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 if we need a goal, Owen is the last place we should be looking And yet he's still our top scorer in all comps and joint top scorer in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 if we need a goal, Owen is the last place we should be looking And yet he's still our top scorer in all comps and joint top scorer in the league. and hasn't scored once in the time that Lovenkrands has somehow managed 3 (with a quarter of Owen's time on the pitch) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying he scored a few goals earlier in the season which loads of people have forgotten about. As for the 30 goals in 4 seasons....it hasn't really been four seasons has it? More like two and a half, which is a bad thing obvious- no-one can deny that he's injury prone, but when he plays he scores a fair bit of the time.

Carlito Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 1604: Chelsea level. Anelka scores. News reaches the Ronaldo household and Cristiano starts the car - he's got an hour and a half to get to Hull from Cheshire to save the golden boot. 1622: Chelsea go 2-1 ahead. Anelka again. Cristiano is clocked at 225 mph on the M62. 1712: Anelka hat-trick! Hiddink takes him off. Ronaldo trashes his roadster in the KC car park and dashes out to join Fergie on the bench.

Guest Heneage Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Gerrard was 16/1 to finish top goal scorer he's only 2 behind Anelka. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShearMagic Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I had a dream that we scored early, Villa equalised and we went in 1-1 at HT. Man Utd B are beating Hull 1-0. We come out all guns blazing in the second half, take a commanding 3-1 lead after 80 minutes, Villa scored their second after 85 and then equalise in the 93rd. Word gets to the KC, SAF tells the 4th official to play an additional 6 minutes, orders one of his rookie defenders to make a massive mistake and then Hull equalise.

Superior Acuña Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Don't really know what to say, but know that this, quite probably will be my last post as a Premiership fan. Going down tomorrow and strangely very excited, but of course terrifed too. I really hope it's an amazing atmosphere, regardless of outcome. Let's show them, and make the players realise how big this really is. HOWAY THE LADS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RowanB Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I would have thought this was an obvious Villa win, but apparently, it's not at all! Villa are 2.39 at Betfair to win. I can't believe it. What am I missing? I thought we were useless. Villa are expected to fail to win. I just can't believe it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShearMagic Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I don't know if anyone actually realises how bad Villa are at the moment. If we show the same effort and desire as we did against Fulham - I'm pretty confident we'll get all 3 points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
