  1. Is this our official performing arts partner?! I can just imagine Emery conveying his tactics to the players through the medium of dance.
  2. You probably said something similar about Bailey before his renaissance.
  3. You are happy to meander around mid table and get to a cup final once every 20 years. If that's what makes you happy then fine, but it is 'safe' and unambitious. With the owners and manager we have now we can dare to dream of something a bit bigger than that. However this potential success relies on the CL money, so it is a necessary evil. We might fall short but let's give it a go, as we don't know if we will ever be in the position to do so again once this era is over.
  4. They will worry about us needing to beat palace and doing a Utd now.
  5. Especially given the amount of abuse he has received during his time at the club. He doesn't have all the attributes needed to play in Emery's system, but it is a reminder that he is still a decent shotstopper.
  6. On paper we should have beaten Brighton and be guaranteed 4th by now.
  7. Who was lenglet brought in to replace then?!
  8. If we e able to identify a couple with similar quality and price to Rogers that will be the best we can hope for, as we don't have the finances to have someone with a large wage like lenglet on the bench.
  9. Seems to be going well, judging by the brighton result and performance.
  10. Thank **** we have points on the board already as I'm not convinced we will win another game this season.The players look knackered and we have no options from the bench. If we were in spurs's position there would be zero chance of us getting 4th
  11. The facts were had to bring chambers on tells you all you need to know about our injury situation. Its got so bad I wouldn't be surprised to see kellyman starting on Thursday.
  12. My point is that winning second or third tier trophies hasn't helped them. They are 13th in La Liga and won't be playing in Europe at all next season. This means they are likely to lose some of their better players and will be back to square 1.
  13. Still looks like a pub sign either way though. Welcome to The Villa Lion. All you can eat buffet on Thursdays and grab-a-granny night every Saturday.
  14. We need a full fit Emi for olympiakos so I wouldn't rush him against Brighton unless he is 100%
  15. The difference is you are looking at it from a fans perspective and I'm looking at it from a club one. It might sound strange to you but they are not the same. The occasional trophy is good to celebrate and look back on for a fan, but increasing our finances will benefit the club long term and allow us to compete for trophies on a more regular basis. I get that some supporters just want to celebrate something after years of disappointment, but I the long term situation is always more important.
  16. I understand where you are coming from, but winning trophies without the financial muscle to compete at the top is pointless. Has winning the ECL helped West ham kick on, or Sevilla after winning the EL 3 years on the trot?! Winning a minor trophy is good for fans to celebrate, but has little effect on progressing the club long term. Competing for titles and major trophies is the end game and the only way to do that is to increase revenue exponentially through the CL.
  17. That nice new stadium will be the envy of league 1
  18. They have to play Sheffield United who are not adverse to shipping 4 or 5 goals in a match.
  19. I think Olsen could have done a bit more to try and stop the second goal, but I can't really blame him for the result or performance like some have. He could be better at playing it from the back, but his main problem is that he is not Emi, so he gets unfairly compared.
  20. Hopefully with Pau, tielemans and Emi back for the second leg we might just have a chance. Still very difficult though.
  21. Emery didn't seem too bothered about it in his press conference.
  22. I think we will get goals as olympiakos are a basket case. They conceded 4 in one leg of the last 16 and were 3 nil up against fenerbahce before letting in 2. Its like bielsa ball.
