  1. This is **** fantastic. I've now been told that Villa are the jammiest club on England and Blues are the unluckiest. Now, let's ignore how they've jacksied late survival in god knows how many of the past 10 years. Got away pretty bloody lightly on the points deduction front. Benefited from teams resting players against them which helped them stay up (looking at you, Huddersfield). I've been trying to work out how we're apparently so jammy. We deservedly got relegated (and didn't fight it for as long as they've managed to), almost went into administration, didn't actually break any rules to go back up and are now doing very well because of good ownership and good management, nothing else. It's not like we've fluked any cup wins or anything like they did (which is 50% of everything they've ever won of note, may I add). They're just a steaming hot pile of shite that finally ran out of luck (and they seem absolutely unwilling to admit that they've been relegated thanks to the moronic decisions of their apparent saint of an owner).
  2. Tom Brady probably thinks they've got first pick in the draft now.
  3. One Bluenose I'm speaking to has already brought up the Hawkeye incident against Sheffield United
  4. Don't really like laying into our players, but there's a very noticeable drop off when he plays. You can feel the nerves amongst the back line, and our build up play from the back is nowhere near as sharp. It also feels like he's always in 2 minds as to whether to come off his line for corners or through balls so he ends up in no man's land. Just doesn't have the commanding presence that you need, especially to play the way that we do.
  5. Absolutely gutted with that. Conceding 4 goals at home in a European semi is absolutely unacceptable. Literally everything went wrong for us. 1- Disallowed goal at the start. Soft. 2- Penalty shout. Defender got a touch on the ball, which put the ball onto Bailey's path and gives him an advantage, then fouls him. Pen for me. 3- Penalty conceded. Was a pen tbf. 4- Deflected goal. Shit. 5- Penalty miss. Luiz had an absolute shocker of a game and had a chance to redeem himself. Literally never misses and finally does so in the biggest game in the season so far. So much to do in the second leg. Atmosphere is going to be extremely hostile and I just don't see us winning by 3 goals. 2 goals to draw the tie and send it to pens would be a miracle.
  6. We've been awful and deserve to lose, but **** hell this ref....
  7. 2 very, very poor performances in a row. What the **** is going on?
  8. Giving them something to hold into in the first leg is a **** nightmare. Feel like it's gonna be really hard to break them down.
  9. I feel like I need to preface this by saying that 7 points out of 9 from Bournemouth, Arsenal and Chelsea is a good return, and I'm sure if we swapped the Chelsea & Arsenal results we'd be pretty happy. Still in a strong position for 4th and still riding high after what's been a fabulous season. But **** hell that was bloody awful. Why is it that we seem to look so much worse when we have a full week (almost) to prepare? I don't understand what the game plan was at all. I get that there's times where you stand off a bit and let them have the ball, especially if they're not looking like really doing anything with it and we can catch them on the break, but even when Chelsea looked dangerous and it was inevitable that they were going to do something we STILL stood off them. No pressure at all. Just gave them the ball back time and time again and stood back. Also....playing out from the back. I absolutely get that it's part of how we play and we've done great things by sticking with it in the past, but there's a time and place for it, and there's times when you simply have to get the ball out quicker. We got caught out today and conceded a goal that was absolutely avoidable.
  10. Why the absolute **** are we just standing off them!? This is **** ridiculous
  11. 26% possession at home to a shit Chelsea side. Wtf are we doing......
  12. Whenever we have a rest we always seem to come out with zero energy.
  13. I just don't why we aren't even trying to press. We're just giving it back to them and immediately sitting back. There's a time and a place for playing out from the back as well..
  14. Huddersfield have a habit of helping the blosers avoid being flushed. Do the entire football world a favour FFS.
  15. Couple of midfielders and a RB ideally. It'll be interesting to see if we do anything at CB. I imagine that Lenglet will be going back to Barca, but there's a question mark over Mings and how well he'll be coming back. It looked like a bloody nasty one judging by his social media posts. I really do hope that he's able to come back and play regularly for us again.
  16. So they need to make sure they do better than Sheff Wed and Huddersfield. Blose probably have the easiest run in, but if Sheff Wed win tomorrow and Huddersfield beat the them next........then I might do a sex wee.
  17. I've seen a couple of posts from them saying how "smalltime" it'd be if we did a bus parade if we went all the way and won the Conference League. Aside from the obvious, being that they're the experts in all things small time, a few points: 1) I'm sure they'd all give their extra fingers to just be in the Premier League for starters, let alone finish high enough in the table to qualify for the Conference League. 2) As above, it's a difficult competition to qualify for in the first place. Finishing top 6/7 in the Premier League is no easy task. 3) There's some bloody tough teams in this competition. Ajax, Lille, Olympiakos, Fiorentina, Fenerbahce - not teams to be sniffed at, especially away from home. 4) It doesn't matter whether it's a "new" competition or not. 5) Mate
