That's IF we can get Gabby back on form and somehow make O'Neill see that Carew is better than Heskey. But i'm not critisising the manager that has made us believe again. At the start of the season we'd have killed to be in this position (with maybe a better run in the cups). Still all to play for though but at the minute, after the last 6 games, it's hard to muster up some opptimism...but muster i shall!!!! COME ON THE VILLA!!!

It will surely be a close end to the season. I am sure we can all agree though that the next 4 games will define how the end of the season goes. You have a tough run of fixtures coming up.... the spuds, Manshitster and the liverpudlians all in a row whereas we have a far easier few weeks. In saying that, with our new Patrick Vieira - Alexandre Song - I am sure we will coast those games... or maybe not. Either way, I think Wenger has lost the plot this season, some of his decisions and irrefutable stubborness borders on a genius gone mad. So even if we do steal 4th back from you, I am a bit worried about next season (i refer back to our triumvate of world beaters, Song, Bendtner and Eboue who are all apparently beyond being dropped). I digress, good lot to you chaps in the run in, but I am backing the Arse to steal back 4th. Just one thing, MB, "your season proves you are simply a top half of mid table team"..... while belittling your own team by saying that, perhaps you should refrain from saying that until we are out of the CL. A strong run in the CL will surely prove that we do have a team somewhere in that squad of players who on their day with their right attitude CAN beat anyone. After all, we have beaten Man UTD, Chelsea and drew with Liverpool this season. Of course this cues a loss to Roma next week and us being knocked out of the CL. d'oh.

We may not stay in fourth, but we've been here for most of the season with your sorry lot lagging behind, so don't make out that suddenly Voyeur, cry baby Gallas and the bunch of jolly foreigners are the business, your season proves you are simply a top half of mid table team....aiiiiight.

While we are having a bad patch.. the Arsenal have been in a bad patch all season. I mean come on the first time they manage to score in 4 games and its against the bottom team in the league! Bet you wished that you had worked out our game before we come a totally dicapitated you at the emerates stadium and did they tbeat us at our place..... big fat no on that one. We have got some tough fixtures coming up but so have the Arsenal and with their inability to score goals I can see it going right down to the wire. Arsenal are still scared and we are still in front. You just need to look at the last 3 games of the season to see how close it is going to be:- Villa: Fulham (a) Middlesbourough (a) Newcastle (H) compared to Arsenal: Chelsea (H) Man Utd (A) Stoke (H) Arsenal will not beat Utd and I doubt they will beat Chelsea and with Stoke probably battling for their lives on the final day of the season I can see Stoke getting something from this just like they did at Villa. So all you Arsenal Fans thinking you are going to walk it.... think on, far from it. I’m not actually that worried. While we are having a bad patch.. the Arsenal have been in a bad patch all season.

Arsenal will not beat Utd and I doubt they will beat Chelsea and with Stoke probably battling for their lives on the final day of the season I can see Stoke getting something from this just like they did at Villa.

So all you Arsenal Fans thinking you are going to walk it…. think on, far from it.

Ur game has been Sussed out. Now u have to break teams down & show how good u are. Hitting it long dwn to agbonlahor and young is a obvious tactic now, that long ball is NOT working, MON tactically is garbage. Heskey that big donkey must be bumming MON because he always plays but can't ever score, what a shame! No win 6 and I can see that becoming no win in 10! U thought 4th spot was sewn up! Remember it's a Marathon not a SPRINT! u guys are running out of steam, watch us over take u and open up a gap on u guys!! With Walcott, rosicky, fabregas, adebayor and eduardo back for us in the next 2 weeks then I can't see how we won't finish top 4. The big 4 will stay the big 4. U should have been happy with UEFA Cup but that jumping fool MON wanted to go toe to toe with wenger, the nerve of the guy!!! Enjoy finishing 6th!! Aston Villa Are Sooooooo Crap!
