Okay, more reasoned and rational. I hope.
Brighton away : win (first win of the season away. Has to happen at some point and I just think the Gardner factor and the fact Brighton have struggled a bit of late might just tip the balance in our favour)
Pompey away : lose
Hull home : win
Peterborough away : win
Bristol City home : draw
Brighton home : win
West Ham away : lose
This makes it 12 points for me...
Brighton away : win
Pompey away : draw
Hull home : draw
Peterborough away : draw
Bristol City home : win
Brighton home : win
West Ham away : lose
So we have been dire all season - we have put together two half decent performances against a couple of the better teams in this division and gained one massive point and now we've recruited for a few weeks a promising kid from Villa who has no league experience and suddenly our fortunes are going to be transformed? I admire the optimism and wish I could share it but afraid I cannot. Yes we played well against West Ham and not quite as well against Cardiff but its against the less "glamorous" (God how could I ever describe Cardiff as that) that we must win and so far have failed miserably. Cannot see Gardner transforming the team - hope I am wrong and sure he'll do well but we needed more than one loanee and a drastic improvement from the rest to save us. So for me its:
Brighton away : win
Pompey away : lose
Hull home : draw
Peterborough away : lose
Bristol City home : win
Brighton home : draw
West Ham away : lose
And thats being optimistic 8 points from 7 games would be a massive improvement on 13 in 18 but it will still not be enough I'm afraid to save us.
Personally never thought Juke was going to go - just a bullshit smokescreen story from Shitsu to deflect away from the fact that yet again they have failed to provide AT with adequate resources - I hope the kid does well and if the Villa fans are to believed (would they lie to us?!?!?!?!) he sounds like a good prospect but it does beggar the question of he is the next Maradona/Messi how come he hasn't even made their subs bench? He is here to learn and make his mistakes and no doubt like all kids he will. Hopefully he will bring some positivity to the place and is a strong enough character not to be dragged down by the air of doom and gloom around the place. I am putting 50p on it being 12 minutes into his home debut before the moaners around us in Block 20 are pontificating how he isn't good enough and needs dropping etc.
Bloody hell!
If you don't win tomorrow it'll be doom and gloom on here.
Gardner sounds good but some of those Villa fans were over egging it, one of them reckoned he was worth 40m now.
If he's half as good as they say he should tear this division up.

SkyBlueBelgium, I think you need to calm down have a cup of tea and take one game at a time!
In a week a lot can change and you need to factor in possible injurys, suspensions, and god knows what else. So its best to take it game by game.
Lets look at today first and see where we are after that, also Tuesday is important as alot of teams will play thier game in hand, we are not even playing.
