Aston Villa V West Ham United Autopsy

The results are in.
Those of us in our usual optimistic mode will regard that as a mere blip to the season and look forward to the backlash against Bolton at home next week.

I am not holding my breath on that one!

It could be that we see the 35 points we stole last season is a magical figure we aspire to this season.

So far, my fear is panning out, getting a manager in that has never completed a full term in the premiership and getting his 2nd team relegated does not make for good form in any sport.

Dont tell me what he done at Chelsea...He inherited a team that was ready made anyway, now we are his 3rd team.
Then to buy the tosspots from Portsmouth or take them on a 'Free' is a joke!

Many considered Blackpool were this seasons 'Cannon Fodder', I am not so sure.
West Bromwich Albion were unlucky enough to draw Chelsea for their first game of the season and will gain a lot from that disaster.
Wigan it seems are heading the way much like I thought...Down.

So, The way I see it after the first game is that 3 'W's will be relegated this season,......
West Bromwich Albion...West Ham United...Wigan Pathetic..... Wolverhampton Wondering.

Select any 3 from 4 and the other one will be 16th.

Over reaction there, you can't take anything from the first result, at least wait until you have the first 3 under your belt, then you can make a fairly informed judgement.

Ive always thought, end of September is the all important milestone, that's when the dye is cast for the rest of the season IMO.

Wh ave to rid of Cole he just simply ain't good enough. and DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON KOVAC, I JUST DOINT AND CANT SEE HOW HE IS EPL MATERIAL, HE'S ABSOLUTE GARBAGE ...utter cack he never passes the ball forward, no that often anyway .
But i just wonder how much all these transfer things have unsettled Parker he seemed lost on Saturday

Ringo. I think you're onto something. Rarely have I seen such utter carp played on a football pitch, its possible WH might scrape through like last season but it will be a long hard struggle for sure.

IMO there will be 10 teams struggling against relegation this season and West Ham are within that group.By the way, who's going to finish 17th???

Aston Villa!

I knew one of you would be bright enough to pick that up!
