He has come a long way since then. This forum will be interesting if he keeps them up at your expense!
Interesting that the one job Redknapp is regarded to have flopped at was when Joe Jordan wasn't with him. Brains of the outfit?
There is a very real possibility they will be just 2 points behind you by Wednesday night. Half the season to go. I wouldn't get too cocky old chap.
Of course. What's the point in being negative. We've had some great Boxing Day victories so her's to another one!
I was discussing Villa with a mate last night, and we both agreed that their fate will probably be decided by Benteke. If a team chases him up in January, they're in trouble. Even if they don't let him go, it could be very damaging for them if he's at least unsettled. Not only is he their main threat as a goalscorer, but he's also their best passer.
Paul Lambert has just said in the after match interview that it has only been the 2 Manchester clubs and now Chelsea that have turned them over. Ahem....selective memory I think!
It teaches Paul Lambert right; leaving Norwich for a team that finished lower than them becasue they had more "ambition" and a higher status. Wouldn't be surprised to see Norwich staying up and Villa going down.
My biggest worry about us at the moment is that our goals seem to be drying up at an alarming rate, and to be honest I can't quite work out why. We haven't dramatically changed our shape since we bought Cork back into the team, but all of a sudden we seem to be very hesitant in the final 3rd.
