Think Chtibello is a great price in the 15:25 at 16/1.

We should have beaten Leeds without our most influential player, Grealish.  I respect but do not fear anyone n this league with our full squad   I'm sure we are the team they all want to avoid, when we click we can outplay them all.

With all due respect Leeds dominated us from start to finish in that game, we fortunately led by two at the break but they eventually got a deserved win. 

Given the return of Grealish and the introduction of Hause/Mings we centainly will be feared even by Leeds I agree with you on that. 

If we do make the playoffs which I think we have a great chance of doing so I would hope Leeds won't also be in the playoffs. 

Had the same feeling about Fulham last season although in saying that I think we're better equipped to deal with Leeds than we were with fulham. 

Backed 4 horses today: Sir Erec (fell), Eclair de Balfeu (fell), Kemboy (fell). Luckily the 4th was Al Boum Photo.

Thought my luck was really out after that first fence  !

City Island in the 13:30

Delta work in 14:10

Killutagh Vic 14:50

E/w trixie. 

Won on Espoir D'allen and Klassical dream yesterday so that's probably all my winners used up for the week.

So tonight we want Bolton, Sheff Utd and Ipswich to do the honours and help our position where possible.

But we also want sheff utd to tail off a bit as well so Leeds and Norwich are already promoted by the time we play them. 

A draw would probably be the best result in the Brentford game

An absolute colossus today, opposing forwards must dread playing against him.

Whelan is a liability and the sooner we get rid the better.

No, you're a liability

I hope Birmingham City fans are punished for their cheering of that man baby who attacked Jack.

McGinn was really good btw.

 

He had a look of innocence about him, mentally, probably the mental age of a small child. The support he received from the fans behind the goal was worse for me. A complete bunch of degenerate inbreds. 

I honestly don't remember being so contented with a win especially with Jack getting the winner. 

I'm almost in a state of nirvana, pure contentment.

One of our players should have accidently stamped on his face in the melee!

Mildly disappointed mings didn't do as such

The midfield 3 were so good today, hard to drop any of them for mcginn next week.

He actually is that bad

Is he yeah?! Ah OK, case closed then. 

Thanks for your guidance on football. 

To match last seasons points total we'd need to win 13 of the remaining 14 games. That's depressing. 

To be fair I thought defensively we looked good which is a good sign in my opinion in that I'm a staunch believer that any team worth their salt sets up from the back. 

I only managed to catch the second half but I thought we were OK against a good Brentford team. They have some fine attacking players who were kept at bay until Elphick dived in gave the opportunity to Maupay. 

I thought we looked solid which was nice, realistically promotion hopes are gone for this season but in my opinion we have to be reasonably solid first before we can finesse our attacking play with next season in mind. 

Individually I thought Hourihane was ineffective as usual (putting it mildly), Elphick was a bit reckless, Green seemed poor but was isolated, Elmo was rusty. Whelan, Mings and Abraham were good from what i saw. 

For a player who gets a disproportionate amount of abuse from his own fans he was immense last night. Demanded the ball instead of hiding from it and pushing forward when needed instead of sitting back. We would not have rescued a point without him. Fair play to him.

I am feeling quietly confident on this one. We shouldn't be wetting ourselves over a visit of Sheffield United at home. If our defence keeps improving and Tammy takes his chances we can win this.

So was I until I read that, thanks for jinxing it pal...

Seems to me that the ones calling for his head came in late, and had not seen the accident and ensuing action completely. It seems they'd seen replays and slow-mos and were thinking about the Ibra incident. 

Seems to me that no one has a clue whether he meant to leave a boot in or not and are building an argument based on what they want to believe.

I did the same, then I watched it in real time a few times too.

What it made me realise was that it happened in REAL time and slow mo makes everything look worse.

In the real time incident it literally looks like a normal passage of play with an unfortunate accident.

I watched it in real time as well but it wasn't zoomed in so I could only see a tangle. 

Anyway, if he is the type to do that intentionally he'll be found out eventually, if he isn't then he wont. I still reckon there's not enough evidence for either argument to be sure of. 

His pervious stamp on Ibra can't be just dismissed as irrelevant but it also doesn't confirm guilt in this incident either. 

I've watched the clip in slow motion about 50 times and I still can't decide whether there was any intent there, its inconclusive for me. 

The question is whether he was involved in a very unfortunate incident or whether he has psychotic short fuse. 

That question will only answer itself over time.

Do you know what, intentional or not, f*** it, he's villa. We havent had anyone in our squad who is as hard as **** for years. If he helps our cause I don't really care.Sorry in advance to any snowflakes out there!

Stamping on someone's face on the ground isn't hard, it's the equivalent of glassing someone who isn't looking on a night out. Cowardly. 

Again, I hope it wasn't intentional. 

He's been involved in two head stamps already in less than 100 professional games, the Ibra one looks intentional at least which itself is hugely worrying regardless of the treatment he received during the match it's a deranged response if intentional . Its possible both were genuine accidents but I think he can't afford to be involved with anything like that again or his career is finished, he's on thin ice.
