Hi there,

I don't know if you've had your viva yet, or if you are still reading this thread, but i want to say to not panic!(easier said than done i know! -i had mine 10 days ago)
I find it unlikely that your supervisor said that your analysis was awful, more likely that it was the weakest part of the thesis -you even say that yourself. The way you suggest that they said data collection was wonderful, that is more than a lot of people get! This also may suggest you supervior percieves things (or speaks)in extremes (either brilliant or awful) rather than in a more naunced way.

Also I always mistrust people (like the other PhD student) who like to tell people (i.e. you)when others have said negative things about them -why would they tell you that , the only purpose is some warped feeling of superiority and wanting to put you down. So my best advice is to ignore them.

In terms of failing, that is very unlikley, it also reflects very badly on your supervisor, so as others have said why would they have let you submit? My supervisors got me to submit when i was not sure it was finished, because they said it can never be perfect, leave something for the examiners to do.I got minor corrections,and in fact they were mostly things that i had not anticipated (although in one case something my supervisor suggested i leave out!) and there were errors in the thesis that i noticed not picked up by the examiners. So i would say do not focus too much on one area - i went in expecting to talk about one area and they focused on completely different things!

Good luck
