    And all of those clubs will view their season as a failure if they aren't top half and pushing for the European places - we should too
  2. icouldtelltheworld
    Measured and insightful as ever mate

    Top half and troubling the European places. No excuses this time, especially if we are going to be splashing big money yet again- at some point we have to see return on the investment

    Bumped into an old pal at New St yesterday and we were in agreement that the Villa are basically back to where they've always been in our lifetime (born 1992) - securely PL and distinctly unspectacular. No surprise that the atmosphere was better on our way back up, its going to get tougher for us now. Based on what I've seen this season, I don't think Gerrard is the man to take us to the next level and worry that the club is making decisions now that we will get wrong for many years to come, but here's hoping I'm wrong and we're on the cusp of something fantastic

    I'd take a 2-0 loss with Grealish staying on the bench if it was offered to me right now tbh. So glad this season is over

    Something in this IMO, looks much more comfortable next to Chambers, could be a good partnership forming there. I think it might partly be that Chambers is better on the ball than Konsa, which takes pressure off Mings. My old man pointed out against Palace that Emi looked to play the ball out short to Mings on his left every time he got it, until Chambers came on and he started to go to his right as well

    We've just got a good draw against a team who have earned more points since Xmas than we have. Thank **** this season is nearly over
  8. icouldtelltheworld
    Yeah I think a couple thought the game had ended when the ref blew for a foul or something. Only 20 seconds or so before the actual end of the game (if memory is correct)
  9. icouldtelltheworld
    Really bizarre. Honestly can't ever remember a pitch invasion getting that response before or after

    Im being sarcastic mate, buzzing for them, proper club Forest
  11. icouldtelltheworld
    Alexa, show me irony
  12. icouldtelltheworld
    Dark ages mate

    Jesus Lolley

    Yep, that would be the end for me. My enjoyment of top level football already depends on a suspension of my morals, if we were owned by someone akin to the Saudis that would be me done. I'd most likely follow a non-league team, but I can categorically state that I'd have nothing to do with the Villa
  15. icouldtelltheworld
    Probably a closeted Gueye tbh
  16. icouldtelltheworld
    And not utterly useless either
  17. icouldtelltheworld
    Yep, this is a fair point - but his record in the Europa League was decent
  18. icouldtelltheworld
    I've been as critical of SG as anyone but this simply isn't true. He got Rangers into the knockout rounds of the Europa League each season that he was there, which is very respectable for a club of their resources. It's pretty much the only justification I could see for his appointment at the time, as while winning the league unbeaten is an excellent achievement, he still managed to win only 1 of 9 possible domestic trophies during his time in Scotland
  19. icouldtelltheworld
    Perhaps you're both right - it's just a bit reminiscent of the Cowley brothers going to Huddersfield after they were relegated for me, every chance his stock falls and he ends up back where he started. If he was going to Norwich or whichever other team gets relegated I'd think it a good move for him, just not convinced Watford is a great career move beyond the inevitable pay out. FWIW I actually think it's a decent appointment for Watford, but only if they drop their policy of firing the manager every few months.

    The other factor for me is that Liverpool might be incredible at the moment, but it won't last. When Klopp leaves, they'll probably go through a tricky period and could well fall out of the top 4. Remember that City were the last PL team to sign up for the super league, because they didnt need the money. With unlimited oil wealth to burn through, whatever happens they will continue to dominate (until Newcastles own oil wealth kicks in and allows them to challenge)
  21. icouldtelltheworld
    This time last year, that would have been Buendia
  22. icouldtelltheworld
    I'd rather Liverpool win the league the next five seasons in a row than for Man City to ever win so much as the League Cup ever again. Liverpool may be insufferable, but City are plastic, tinpot and destroying football in this country
  23. icouldtelltheworld
    Much better recently and think we would regret selling him to West Ham even for big money. Reckon he'd be very good in a Moyes team
  24. icouldtelltheworld
    Strange signing really. I'm not convinced we really need him, but I think signing him is going to be a good thing for us overall. Even if he is past his best, its a clear sign of intent and gives an indication of where we're trying to get to. Interested to see who else we bring in over the summer, and think we might be surprised by one or two who leave
  25. icouldtelltheworld
    Forest Green have released a really scathing statement about it, said all the discussions have been completely behind their back. Odd choice for him tbh, if they aren't top of the league after about 6 games he'll be fired and could well see his stock fall massively
