I’ve read on Sky News this morning that they’ve been named and shamed for failing to pay workers the National Minimum Wage, along with Stoke  

Biggest club in the vicinity, don't you know...

Why we talking about Adama in kodjia thread?

Keeping limpid happy.

Wrong thread.

Try the SHA one.

I think 46 will be enough to stay up.

They've got Middlesbrough next chasing sixth, at home.

Then Cardiff looking to make second their own, that's away.

Two games they could easily get nothing from.

That's 16 points required from 9 games, one of which includes Wolves away. Assume a loss there.

That's 16 required from 8, an average which would be good enough for promotion chasers.

If Cotterill's not careful, their fans will slash the tyres on his vehicle. The big ones, I mean.

 12 games to go 7-3-2 will do it I think .

I think we're better playing 4-5-1.

1 Sunderland win with 1 SHA loss, Sunderland go above them.

Next game is home to QPR who've just shipped 5 at home.

Next game away for SHA - Notts Forest - who just put 5 past QPR.

Luke Moore's stunt double.

Should've got into Sheff Wednesday much earlier. They were there for the taking. Their defending for the Villa goals was atrocious.

Sunderland score in the 97th minute to grab a point. SHA with worse goal difference than them and into the bottom 3.

Good day all round.

His creativity was crucial to not only the title win but the European Cup early rounds that got us to the final.

If the op is true than I couldn't offer him more best wishes. A true Villa great.

Epic trolling of SHA by Brentford.

I don't get why he doesn't play for the U23's when they have a game that is not in close proximity to a first-team fixture. Surely what he needs as much as anything else is the confidence that comes from banging a couple in. 

Perhaps risk of injury?

He's the only option of that tough, bullying kind available for selection. Something like that could open up a game (even if for another person to play off him). With the transfer window shut, this squad is now the group to lead us home (or not).

Unacceptable performance from me

You're still young. You've got a lot of potential. You'll make a first team place your own. Keep believing.

Sincerely,

Sir Gary Cahill.

Was anyone boasting or acting like the job was done?

As far as I could tell the discussion was based around the very possible scenario that we get promoted at the end of the season.

And I don't think anyone could say "I was right for not wanting Bruce gone" as I think pretty much everyone here has wanted him gone at some point.

 

Certainly when I was having the discussion I was saying I was wrong for wanting him gone assuming we go up.

My post wasn't aimed at you or any one person.

As soon as we landed in second place there were some mea culpas about wanting SB's head in December.

As you've quoted me, I can involve you directly in explaining my view. You expressed surprise that posters refused to admit they were wrong about him.

Let's assume that their conclusion was and is measureable, e.g. SB cannot get us promoted at the end of this season. We can measure that as true or false.

Why would SB getting us to second suddenly prove he was the right man for us or that those who wanted him gone were wrong?

Why did getting to second place prompt these expressions of regret? What did we win or achieve?

The debate over whether SB can get us promoted isn't settled so no poster who felt he couldn't do so hasn't been proven wrong about anything. Yet.

Does show the 'i was right for not wanting bruce gone' message in the week was a little premature. 

It did baffle me.

2nd with 15 games to go, acting like the job's done.

2-0. Goal from half-way line, Johnstone missing.

Fulham lead.

Maybe we can use a late substitute to Grabban all the points.

You're a real court Chester.

The optimist in me says he will stick around, and use his experience to guide and build the club further. What actually happens, the answer is the same to how long is a piece of string.

I recall him saying he's waited his career for a job like this.

I can't see him walking away from that unless there's something very serious going on e.g. a family issue, or the England job.
