After 3 or 4 months of the media licking Steven Gerrards hoop and suffering all pundits telling us we were nailed on to go down....

Both managers have had 13 league games. (Approx 1/3 of a season) and both managers have 17 points.
We have 4 wins, 5 draws and 4 defects while villa have 5 wins 2 draws and 6 defeats.

Personally I think that considering Eddie Howe had to arrest the slide that the bacon muncher had us hurtling down, we can have good confidence going forward, without getting carried away...

Let the media enjoy their darlings while we quietly go about our work.
