  1. They should pay for your ticket!
  2. Pretty shite? We’re not finishing below 6th. I imagine we’ll probably finish 5th. This could be enough for champions league. How could anyone describe this season as pretty shite, particularly with the injuries we’ve had all season?
  3. You’ve also got 8 syllables in your second line. 1 out of 3 lines of a haiku correct is better than nothing I guess! Fully agree with the sentiment, just being a pedant!
  4. Chelsea get ECL with a win. Rest of your placings are right I think.
  5. I mean it’s within the realms of possibility but I don’t think they’ve won more than two in a row in the league this season. I also don’t think we have gone on a winless run of more than 2 this season. This would suggest that it’s possible but unlikely.
  6. In the last couple of months city have lost away to us, drawn at home to palace, Liverpool and Tottenham and drawn away to Chelsea. We’re not going to win every game. We had 1 defeat in 17 games in all competitions prior to tonight. Have some patience and look at how far we’ve come.
  7. But what does this game management phase consist of. They were all over us from the half hour mark and with more clinical attacking would have scored 8 or 9. We literally couldn’t keep the ball. You can waste a bit of time but if you then just give the ball back to them it’s not really achieving much. It was crying out for midfield reinforcements but the only option we had was Iroegbunam who is completely untested and not long back from an injury. When we brought players on we didn’t improve.
  8. We played McGinn there the other day and it didn’t really work either. We’re one injury/suspension away from losing our shape in far too many positions. Given Diaby’s recent performances it’s hardly a surprise not to see him starting matches at the moment.
  9. But what’s the alternative to playing dendoncker there? We don’t have any other options. Hopefully by the end of January we’ll have a more able backup and won’t need to play dendoncker there.
  10. Our bad form consists of 10 points out of a possible 15 including games against Man City and Arsenal. We’ve had a couple of games where we haven’t been at our best. Probably deserved more against Sheffield United and got what we deserved tonight. Ona separate point the late subs is one of my favourite criticisms of managers at Villa. We’re overachieving and have a load of players nowhere near the level required on the bench. If he brought players on earlier we’d still have lost and then he’d be getting criticism for making the subs. We desperately need some reinforcements in January but we’re miles ahead of where we thought we’d be. If we want to stay in a champions league hunt then we’re going to need to have far more on the bench and to allow us to refresh things from time to time.
  11. At half time he was described as clever. He should be coming away from that with a yellow card and instead he’s got his team a goal and is getting plaudits for his cheating. Meanwhile players are getting booked for kicking the ball away in the slightest fashion and we’re getting 20 minutes of injury time a game. Those in charge have their priorities all wrong.
  12. I’m not really sure how that’s been given. What on earth are they watching?
