  1. Forest have released Henderson. If wages aren't astronomical would make a good back-up, could play conference and cup games too.
  2. I can honestly see where they're coming from. No Europe gives Levy no room to spin. They're losing Kane and they need to rebuild, having less games in what they expect to be (at best) a transitional season isn't a bad thing. I've no affinity for spurs but I also don't find some of the comments their fans made about them being "glad that Villa got Europe because their fans will enjoy it more" as in any way condescending. They're right - it means more to us, while they have an overhaul to focus on - assuming they can get someone competent to magar them. They know they're in the shit - if (when) Kane leaves and get the next manager wrong, they'll be us under SG but with a newer stadium and a worse owner.
  3. Do yourself a favour and look at the first couple of pages of the Harry Kane thread on there. ”The next Grant Holt” and “not good enough for Spurs, will end up at a team like Fulham or Villa” are two of my favourites.
  4. Peak joy would be beating them thanks to a clearly wrong VAR decision. I think I'd be laughing until next season.
  5. Bit rich given that you were campaigning for SG to stay until the bitter end. Even if Purslow did delay his sacking, you were in support of that decision at the time.
  6. Even more glad we beat spurs now. What a memory for her, and what an inspirational kid. Obviously didn't cry at all watching that.
  7. A Spaniard with great stats who left the Prem under a cloud, arguably because of an overly-expectant fan base, went back to Spain, and could now come back to the UK with a point to prove to the fans of a Sky Six team? This story sounds familiar.
  8. "Last 10 games we sit in 14th with 12 points. And in that run of 10 games we played; Saints, Forest, Bournemouth, Everton, Palace, Villa to give it some perspective on how **** god awful it is." -from the fighting cock. They are above us based on early season form. Current form, which is what matters right now, is the opposite story. Looking forward past the summer, if they don't get the managerial appointment right and they lose Kane, they could be next season's Chelsea.
  9. Good signing for a team chasing the playoffs, but ultimately going to get sidelined if they get promoted. I think he's a decent player for a mid table championship club.
  10. 4 red cards in 222 games. Kienan Davies has 3 goals in 73 league appearances, so by your standards he's basically goal-a-game. Moot point since he won't come here anyway, but he's a quality player.
  11. Agreed. Leicester, unlike Everton and Leeds, have a carcass worth picking at if they go down. Maddison, Barnes and Tielemanns shouldn’t be in a team that gets relegated.
  12. I know one. He lives in Portugal. Makes it even more confusing.
  13. Currently playing his trade for AEL Limassol in the Cypriot First Division. Everton-level recruitment tbf
  14. Next two games are Man City then away at barcodes. They need 4 points from West Ham and Spurs. Hope they get three on the last day of the season but are still relegated.
  15. I worked three days after my first was born and I was hanging out my arse. It's a factor.
  16. Ironbunam is not a direct replacement for The Donk. Different players.
  17. Yeah, this is up there with "can we sign two Man U players on loan" in terms of debate. But you're right, top 7 for Europe.
  18. Heard that Southgate wasn't impressed with the goal. Said he should have passed instead, then tracked back.
  19. Chelsea mid-table, Liverpool off kilter for a large portion of the season and Spurs in freefall. This is a chance to get UEFA cup qualification, and it may not repeat itself next year. Would mean a lot to our summer recruitment plans too. I think those saying they don't care about Europe this season are glossing over how unique a chance this might be, and if we take it we could be taking ourselves to the next level well before we expected. Think next season will be a lot tougher to crack the top 7, but if we make Europe and sign the right players we could embed ourselves in the Champions League mix over the next few years.

  20. @duke313 few knew. @messi11 I hope you age as well as this did mate.
  21. If we beat Fulham on Tuesday it's effectively then a four team mini-league for 5-8th, with only the bottom team not getting into Europe. Us, Spurs, Liverpool and Brighton.. If you could go back to the end of October and tell any Villa fan that this is how the season ends, they'd laugh in your face.
  22. I get the intent behind what you're saying, but at the same time if some guy who tips the scales at 30 stone gets called fat on Twitter, I'd be shocked if it was the first time he'd thought about it. Lad owns a mirror.
