There is no chance he comes here over Athletico

The race is still on…

The guardian podcast mentioned this that table tennis players live in little bubbles away from reality. This starts from a young age and all they have focused on is training and playing table tennis. And maybe a few lads nights out.

Except that is not true, in the UEFA club rankings for the last ten seasons they are 5th and only one English team is above them and thats Chelsea

Thing is Nick I’m no way invalidating your feelings or anyone for that matter, It’s a forum at the end of the day we all come here for the love of Villa. Like you I do go to games when I can it’s hard because I’ve been born and raised in London. So every now and then I’ll travel up to watch Villa. I’m in agreement for the most part that it’s been poor, however my point is there has been several Villa fans here and other places that pretty much never gave Gerrard a chance. It’s fair to say he deserves the same as smith in his first year no? I said exactly the same thing when it was 2018 and we got Smith and some people outside of this forum(I was a casual lurker) didn’t give him a chance either. For the record, I didn’t want Gerrard to be our manager I was more on the Favre/foreign appointment wave, but when Gerrard was announced I thought to give him a chance just like any other Manager we had outside of Bruce and McLeish. When I see your comments for the most part you give solid points, I might always reply to but I do see what you see also. Not saying you don’t but I do also see the good and recognise that, like others have said I just feel like no matter what Gerrard does they will always secretly wait for his downfall. It’s the repeat of what was happening during the Smith years, I just think some people want to feel right all the time.

To be fair I think useless makes some good points. I do think Newcastle could struggle with expectations next season.

If only they'd read the instructions...
