  1. I think mcginn especially benefits from being more relaxed going into games. Like you said, performances seem to drop when a game gets overly hyped.
  2. Suggests that it was an extension option on his existing contract rather than a brand new one. Makes sense to announce it now, as speculation on summer managerial vacancies is ramping up, and Emery won't want the distraction of media speculation about his job affecting the players. Sounds like he will get a brand new deal in the summer, which will no doubt come with a pay rise and maybe a (formal) increase in his responsibilities.
  3. Its similar to Martinez. Emi was not high on up on the list of targets based on his stats, but clearly he had ability. It was only when the'eye test' was used Emi became a top target. Rogers's stats were not exceptional but unai saw his potential. Most clubs prioritise stats to focus their search, so Rogers (and Emi) would not be high up on clubs radars.
  4. I think MOMS mentioned something, as David Michaels had asked some people in the know about it. I know it is vague and indirect but i think DM generally has credible sources.
  5. I think this is the key point. Spurs are well known for buckling under pressure, so if we have a 9pt gap before they kick a ball, it will probably negatively affect their performances.
  6. The new badge, which hasn't gone through the required fan consultation you mean?! The FA hasn't approved it so I think the club shouldn't have issued the new badge until it is signed off as any backtracking will be embarrassing.
  7. Exactly. No one was showing any interest in Rogers prior to our bid. Even Boro fans were commenting that they pulled our pants down with a £15m offer. Its only since he came to villa that he is showing what he can do.
  8. He still has a hairy big toe, but let's not hold that against him.
  9. If we beat Chelsea then I think 4th place is ours. Tottenham will have to win their next the games against Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool just to be level. Fair play to them if they do, but I can't see that happening.
  10. Its his cojones that you should be commenting on. Like watching the opening scene of Indiana Jones & Raiders of the Lost Ark!
  11. How he played in the championships is irrelevant. I've seen enough of him playing in the premier league to see that we have got a top player. If Ramsey was fit then I'd actually start Morgan over him, given the form he is in at the moment.
  12. 71 points is usually enough for 4th, so we need 5 pts from 4 games. Very attainable, especially as 2 of those are against mid table teams with nothing to play for
  13. Will just about cover our agent fees for this season then!
  14. It's between Emi and Watkins for player of the year, with Bailey as an honourable mention.
  15. Its not that bad. No penalty shootout and they probably won't have that many shots as we are at home and are likely to dominate possession. He will be back for the second leg, which will be the more important.
  16. I thought Lille were better team, but the way their players kept calling for yellow cards after every challenge was scummy. For that alone, I'm glad they got knocked out.
  17. If there was one keeper in the world you would want for a penalty shootout it is Martinez. Absolute beast!
  18. Coefficient FC are really making hard work of qualifying. If this carries on then we will have to get 4th nailed on if we want CL next year. Its ironic that i usually cheer them to lose and the one time I actually want them to win they **** it up.
