Just to be clear. It wasn’t me that started the comparison. I think Mahrez is a fantastic player, it was just to back up the argument that even wingers in better teams and more expensive, also have fall-outs and are anonymous in games

Didn’t say you would, but others would and I might have taken the wrong quote, so an apology from me to you

Mahrez has been invisible tonight and if El Ghazi had played to the same standard he would have been crucified

And you are sure Mahrez or Aubameyang does?Honestly, if we talk to either Man.City or Arsenal supporters, they would probably have the same cmplaints as us. I know a couple supports of Gunners and they think that Aubameyang has been pants this season.

Exactly, was just about to write the same. Why do we keep on bringing up his name? He wasn't interested in joining us before the season, because he thought we were relegation candidates and now he is relegated with Werder. We can better players than him.

Everything you said are just plain wrong. I don't even want to correct you on all the statements you made...

He has done that as well. I Would keep him

It’s good that Cash stays on his feet and doesn’t make rash challenges, compared to Guilbert

Respect... The Curva Sud of AC Milan wrote an official statement about the birth of the Super League. As the football season draws to a close, the world of football has been hit by a storm called the Super League, a competition strongly desired by the most emblazoned European teams, in open contrast with the policies of UEFA. A real earthquake in the football environment, which inevitably affects us closely, given that our Milan team is one of the dozen “splitting” societies that intend to give life to this new European competition. The reaction of the various football institutional and political components was as quick as it was predictable and pressurised, with heads of government, leaders of the various national and international federations and club managers from all over Europe wasting no time in vehemently attacking the components of this new league, threatening heavy penalties under the cry of “football belongs to the people”. Honestly, the fact that all the gentlemen in the control room are now putting us fans first makes us smile. The Super League is just the latest of countless manoeuvres that have been taking place for decades and have turned football into a business. Certainly the birth of this new competition would be yet another blow to the football of the past, which is now only a distant memory, and will inevitably end up obscuring the charm and tradition of the various national leagues, depriving football of the indispensable principle of sporting meritocracy. But the thing that makes us even more indignant is the hypocrisy of all those who have contributed to making this sport just a business, who are now rising up in the name of the fans, but simply because they see the breakage of that lucrative toy that they thought untouchable. Football belonged to the people until the 1990s, when the Champions League came into being, to the detriment of the old champions’ cup. Football belonged to the people, even when no one did anything to stop the high ticket prices imposed by some presidents. Football also belonged to the people when nothing was done to hinder the unstoppable rise of the agents, who took the players’ salaries to ever more astronomical figures, sustainable only thanks to the income from television rights, those TVs that then imposed increasingly tight calendars, with matches on days and times that were absolutely improbable. Football belonged to the people even when rules were introduced to prohibit any kind of relationship between players and fans. Football was also the people’s game when Super Cup finals were played on other continents, or when the dates of some matches were changed just a few days before the game, to the detriment of fans who may have already bought train or plane tickets to attend the stadium. Football belonged to the people even when some very influential presidents in the league openly stated that despite the achievement of the sporting result, some clubs with a small catchment area should be prevented from playing in Serie A. Football belonged to the people even when some clubs were allowed to circumvent financial fair play, while others with less influential bosses were penalised. Football also belonged to the people when it was decided by all means to assign the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, despite the fact that this would mean that the World Cup would be held in November, which would upset the clubs’ calendar. The same Qatar, moreover, is under indictment for the countless human rights violations against the workers who helped build the stadiums, often in inhumane working conditions and resulting in some 6,500 deaths at work. It is strange that this has left FIFA, which is usually very attentive to social issues, indifferent, even if the doubt arises that it is only when it suits it…We could list many other examples to demonstrate the absolute inconsistency in the words of these hours by the top management of football, compared to the work done for decades, which has led football to become from a popular game to a pure instrument of the most unrestrained business. Football had to be revised from the ground up at all levels, federations, clubs, managers and players a long time ago. The Super League is just another piece of rubbish, but those who have brought football to this point of almost no return are no less, so let’s avoid sleazy theatrics of rhetoric and morality. Now that the money is running out, get angry with each other, but don’t you dare mention the fans. PIGS!

The hatefull 12

Then we can agree to disagree, because I dont think he was excellent. He was ok in a team that performed brilliantly, much like AEG did during christmas when he was player of the month, but that is luckily forgotten by many posters in here. He then was omitted from the team after one crap game and because Dean Smith wanted to make room for Barkley, which was unfair in my book. But for me it seems like there is one rule that applies to some players, like you can keep playing no matter how crap you play (McGinn as an example) and then there is other rules that applies to other players, that if you have a bad game, you get substituted at halt time and made scapegoat by VillaTalk posters (AEG as an example) Then I see some posters say that AEGs goals this season is only papering the cracks and isnt valid arguments, because he is a bad player, but on the other hand they keep bringing Trezeguet goals up as something that is good enough and somehow NOT papering the cracks, because he shows a bit of headless chicken running around and looks like he is giving everything. I would much rather have a player like AEG in my team, because he sometimes does something unexpected and he has more technical ability than Trez, who look like it was a mistake whenever he skips a man. But I see we have different opinions and in the end thats ok by me Spirit, fight and heart wasnt my words, they originated from a post I quoted.

I don't talk the abilities I mention down, but I talk them down in relation to Trezeguet, where its not enough because, he is not a very good footballer at this level, then you have have abundance of these abilities, but its still not enough when you cant control or keep the ball.

We would go down with the lowest amount of point any premier league club has been relegated with. I simply can't understand why people keeps bringing up the spirit, fight, and heart when its clearly not enough and he's clearly not good enough to play for us at this level

That is simply not true...

Why can’t we make Traore stop doing those across the pitch passes. Just tell him that it’s not allowed

It’s both funny and strange to read the comments on here. Trez scores 2 goals today, but in the same game before he scored he was so bad I wanted to make another substitution involving him. I can’t wait to read the comments after the next game when he is back to his old self. He is simply not good enough and just because he scored 2 today, he is the Messiah in some people’s eyes. I still want to get rid of him in the summer. You can’t have a player who is as bad as him at general play and is tactical stupid. I’m glad he scored, but next game he will be bad again. You read it here first

I don't get why people want to keep Trez, just because he is hardworking. It doesn't matter if he is hardworking if we cant give him the ball, looses the ball every time he gets it, cant pass the ball to a teammate or just runs around like a headless chicken. Waste of time and place to keep playing him...

For me he is the first I want to get rid of

I don’t know who said that Guilbert isn’t a good defender because he slides too often? you can make the same argument about Cash. That was the top of stupidity

I can cross better with my right foot than any of our current wingers and I normally only use my right to keep me upright. This is so pathetic

Omfg

*Yawnnnnn*

It is a tactical problem. We are not changing our attacking setup. Every cross is coming from the corner of the box. How often do we see our team go all the way to the byline and make a low pass into the box of a cut-back - never

Mings is a major liability in this game

Even a broken watch is right two times a day. We will never know if we had been safe much earlier if Smith had played another player instead. His goals at the end helped us stay up, but that doesn’t mean that he is good enough and has the quality to get in the team.
