    And whatever you think of the French league, they’ll be in the CL next year - so that’s the standard of at least some of the sides we are hoping to face in it.
  2. Adam2003
    Best in the world.
  3. Adam2003
    Yep already planning annoying my team at work by talking about everyone getting behind England’s team in the semis.

    I am 100% sure every word of this Football Insider scoop is true. It is, however, not a news story, just a recital of known facts.
  5. Adam2003
    Points? I’d say 69, maybe 70 in case of a GD swing. But agree with the rest of your post. I’d also say this will have been more of a psychological blow to Spurs than us, as they sit 5th. Hope they crumble as usual
  6. Adam2003
    “Probably 6th” is doing a lot of work there. I’m guessing 8th behind Newcastle and Chelsea, who are above them if they win their game in hand (hopefully not their game vs us!)

    I mean I personally think Man U will absolutely keep dicking around forever. Shambles of a club now.
  8. Adam2003
    Both
  9. Adam2003
    I have said all season I think we will finish 5th, but 5th will get CL. I now think 5th will not get CL… but I think we have a good shot at 4th. So don’t listen to me basically.

    Don’t think it’s weird, lots of wingers/attackers will do better coming on with fresh legs against a tired defence. Also think as more and more subs become the norm we will end up with more specialist subs/‘finishers’ for games. But yes agree for where we are now we also need him to be great from the start (and he often has been, but I agree he’s more deadly coming off the bench)

    About which of their best performances of the season was better? Seems reasonable whether you’re the Dog and Duck FC or the Harlem Globetrotters… (note: Harlem Globetrotters probably not great at football)

    To be fair the big media question that week was “are Villa title contenders?” - but only after we beat Arsenal. Before that it was “Villa have done Arsenal a huge favour!” - the opposite of today
  13. Adam2003
    Great performances both, but I think the Man City win was the best I’ve seen us play (watching since 1990). This was class but we have beaten top teams lots of times. That Man City win was unique (almost literally, no-one else has ever dominated a Pep team like that in many of the stats)

    Not picking on Dakota in the slightest here, just an example of many comments like this in mid-March. Funny to see what can change in less than a month in football Can’t wait to see what this lad does with another six months of Unai’s coaching.
  15. Adam2003
    I’m sure it’ll change hands a couple more times but let’s remember when it does that we can turn it around again!
  16. Adam2003
    Sign the deal, get him in. Buendia and Ramsey back in the squad and then that midfield is fine for the CL
  17. Adam2003
    That’s 5th locked in. 6-7 more points for 4th I think, Spurs won’t get more than 3 wins from 6.
  18. Adam2003
    I don’t totally disagree but I think he would be way better at Arsenal today than last time out, and also think it’s generally overlooked that he’s PSG’s most successful ever manager. But yes I think he’s more suited to the ‘challenger’ bracket.
  19. Adam2003
    Sorry is this about MANCHESTER United?!
  20. Adam2003
    I have a feeling Spurs will lose this
  21. Adam2003
    People are ignoring this too much when comparing our seasons. 100%. We’d have been miles ahead with no Europe. But, we want Europe! So it’s just life…
  22. Adam2003
    Don’t disagree with your wider point on sales sometimes being fine but I do question this… Spurs finished below us last season and are head-to-head with us this season - they’ve finished outside the top four in 3 of the last 5 seasons. Despite us coming from the Championship at a time they were already a CL team, and all the advantages they have with stadium etc, we are now basically in the same bracket of teams around the top four, not as good as the title chasers, hoping to make it into the CL and a few dodgy results away from slipping down the table. I’m not sure that can be called pushing on from their perspective. Anyway - I think the big point from me, as others have said, is I think Watkins is worth more to us than he is to eg Arsenal, which makes it hard to see a deal getting done. But yes, if we sell him, it could lead to more good things - you only ever know in retrospect. Same as we are a better team now than when Grealish was playing for us, even though we lost our star/talisman/captain.
  23. Adam2003
    That would have been us a few years ago…!
  24. Adam2003
    100% for me - you just can’t argue with those numbers. It’s been a step up from him from what was already a high base.

    I’m judging him on all the other good signs way before this game though. But go for it, double down! You won’t look sillier than those on here who said Grealish wouldn’t cut it in the PL
