  1. I read somewhere that they signed Pritchard on 18k a week. Not sure if that’s true. Either way, if they’re relegated, I doubt there are many contracts with relegation clauses. They’ll be in a bit of a mess if it happens.
  2. This is a monumental result against them if Plymouth can hold on. Coventry need a win tomorrow to have any hope of finishing in the play offs. Its getting to the point where even draws aren’t good enough for them. Up the Janners
  3. Agreed. It’s a weird one for me is the UCL. I almost care more about what comes with qualification than the tournament itself. I mean, I couldn’t tell you the last time I watched a CL game that wasn’t the final - and I miss most of those too. Everybody knows there is the potential for us to be very borderline when it comes to FFP this summer and there is talk that we may need to lose a player or two to stay compliant. Nobody can argue against the financial boost the CL will give us and Id feel a lot more secure as a fan knowing we have that money and we may not need to sell players in order to compete with the big boys. Or certainly forced to sell anyway. Our revenue is poor and our wage bill is high. If we go out in the group stages, fine, but the cash that comes with qualification is so important in our trajectory. Its fundamental. From a fan perspective, given we’ll be in the lowest pot, there will be some great days out to look forward to. Madrid, Bayern, Barca, PSG - home and away. Even if we only qualify once, it would be great for the fans to experience the chance to see these teams play Villa. For me, I’ll be devastated if we don’t qualify. I feel there is much riding on it.
  4. It’s all heading towards Villa needing to win the final in Athens I’m afraid.
  5. Martinez MOTM says it all. Lucky to come away with a win there in all honesty. It’ll do. Going to be tough in the return leg.
  6. Let’s not beat around the bush here. We all know this is going to come down to Villa needing to win the UECL to qualify for the CL. Big, big final awaits
  7. Anything interstellar based and I’m in. What a film. Great video too.
  8. I'd spend 5m on him, max. His wages wouldn't be above 40k a week. And even that is a stretch.
  9. Leverkusen will get ripped apart in the Summer. Whoever owns the club is going to make a lot of money in the Summer. I think we need to be clever with our transfers. Maybe spend big on 2 players with the intention of them being first teamers and pad out the squad with free transfers of high quality. If we want to be ballsy, maybe we sell a couple (Luiz and Ramsey) and roll the dice with some Monchi magic. Being in the CL will make us much more appealing. Main focus still needs to be on shifting the 6/7 players that have no future here.
  10. The way I see it is, it’s pretty much done if Arsenal go through.
  11. We need another 5 points in my book. It then becomes virtually impossible for anybody to catch us. United as an example would need 17 points from 7 games. 5 wins and 2 draws or 6 wins. No chance. 2 wins Villa, 2 wins. Not even that. We should go all out to beat Bournemouth and we’re almost there!
  12. That Archie Gray at Leeds will turn into a very, very good player.
  13. McGinn and Kamara are better. Luiz is overrated on here. Good player but we treat him like he’s a world beater when I don’t think he is tbh. He’s been average a lot this season in matches.
  14. He is what he is. He’s a quarterback style defender. Great for setting up attacks and splitting the lines but average defensively. It’s a trade off unfortunately. I think we’re a better team with him in it though.
  15. I’m just so ‘meh’ on him.
  16. APPARENTLY WATKINS HAS SCORED BUT ON MY TOTALLY LEGAL STREAM BRENTFORD HAVE THE BALL GET IN
  17. Strong team. Really interesting that he’s played Rogers ahead of Diaby. Expect Diaby is being eased back in and will see the last half hour.
