The 4th Place Race - Contender Watch

[Ben_Itez]

Well maybe tonight has given the lads a bit of confidence. Have to say i still fear for us at Old Trafford and the effect it will subsequently have on our confidence...back to square one.

One thing's for sure though, as Craig stated, is the other teams will open the door for us.

[wiw]

4th is ours

[Craig_H]

Wigan 1-1 Villa at half time.

Own goal put villa ahead on 25, but Caldwell equalised for Wigan just 2 mins later. I'd take this.

Me too. Come on Wigan FFS.

[Craig_H]

I think Wigan have had a second goal ruled out.

[Craig_H]

Villa back in front, 1-2

[Lee]

C'mon Wigan you cunts.

FFS

[Shaggy]

Villa win.

[Craig_H]

****, was hoping they might've dropped 2 points.

They've still got Chelsea and City away, but their other games look worryingly simple

[Chazza]

Villa win.

villa and man city are our main rivals for 4th. Spurs play arse/mancs and chavs in a row and they'll drop points there for sure. Also all 3 have to play each other aswell so you never know.
If he sets out the team like monday night and they can keep that attacking purpose, we have a great chance as i think the others will panic if we have a surge.

All these teams can smell it now. That's all the motivation they will need. It's going to be a nerve-wracking couple of months. To paraphrase Rafa - we know it will be difficult, but we have to keep our focus and keep winning games.

Just seen Villa's first goal. James McCarthy's a ****ing prick.

he's not though is he? He's going to be a ****ing quality player in a few years time. Guaranteed.

Villa winning keeps us on our toes, all good.

[Craig_H]

He ****ed up royally for that goal.

As for Villa winning being 'good' for us -
