    It would be typical man utd this season to somehow shit house a win v Liverpool but then lose to sheff Utd
  2. DakotaVilla
    Man Utd have Chelsea away and Liverpool at home in the next week. If they win both of those and we only get one point out of man city and Brentford we will still effectively be 7 points ahead with 6 games remaining. Any discussion regarding Man Utd will hopefully be confirmed as being academic come the end of the weekend.

    We’ll have a much clearer view after this round of games. 2 English v German ties so we have to hope west ham and Arsenal get through.

    We’re a bit naive to this. We don’t make enough of the oppositions consistent fouls and then make stupid fouls in front of the ref that get punished. Overall though our discipline has been very good. The only exceptions being the ridiculous antics at Brentford and McGinn losing his head v spurs.

    Signs are promising but he needs to do a lot more over the remainder of the season to earn a permanent move.

    I disagree. Arsenal just showed they can go away to a very dangerous team and lock the whole game down. Very boring yes but a tactical masterclass from Arteta and very disciplined from the players. They’ll be looking to do exactly the same v Bayern away.

    I think it’s his fitness record and the big wages he’ll be on. He’s a very solid fourth choice CB if he can stay fit. The 4 CB should be Pau, Konsa, Mings, Carlos and then add a fifth young high potential CB if Feeney is still a few years away (subject to PSR and all that).

    His heart has fallen out of it at Brighton this season after the big sales last summer but make no mistake he’d be a great appointment for either Newcastle, Chelsea, Man Utd or Liverpool.

    I think both us and spurs will clear 70. Fourth will go to the one who picks up an unexpected win v the top three and avoids slipping up in the games that are the bankers. Let’s say we get 4 wins and a draw out of our remaining 8. That leaves us on 72. Spurs would then need 5 wins and a draw which would be targeted from forest, Newcastle, west ham, burnley and Sheffield and a draw against the bigger teams they face. Hopefully if they slip up v west ham or Newcastle that will put a lot of pressure on them to beat arsenal, Chelsea or man city. We really need to target 5 wins out of the 8 games and avoid a spanking from Man city to put max pressure on spurs. The five targets for us would be Brentford, Bournemouth, Chelsea, Brighton and Palace on the final day. No easy feat with the European games thrown in.

    Arsenal just showed how to play against Man City away out of possession but we just don’t have the personnel available in midfield. It would be a lot to put on Tim but feels like tactically what we should do.

    I wonder how many bullshit yellow cards we’ll get given on Wednesday…. Complete farce.
  12. DakotaVilla
    That’s pretty much guaranteed, there’s a reason why Guardiola, Emery etc don’t play that way and it’s because they know it’s not sustainable. Bielsa, Howe, Ange are all cut from a similar cloth.
  13. DakotaVilla
    The positive for us about spurs is they only know one way of playing - 100 miles per hour. These derbies v west ham, Chelsea and Arsenal are going to be combustible and hopefully the fixture congestion in the final few weeks will catch up with them and at the very least balance out our additional European fixtures.

    Game management will be key. We could do with cash back asap to be able to rotate.
  15. DakotaVilla
    We will likely need four or five wins of the remaining games to secure fourth. Brentford, Bournemouth, Chelsea, Palace and then one of Brighton/Liverpool may be needed.
  16. DakotaVilla
    It could also easily be at least three wins from their next 5 depending on which spurs shows up. They could beat - or lose - to any of those teams on their day.
  17. DakotaVilla
    I could ask you exactly the same question.
  18. DakotaVilla
    Very nervous and excited about this game. Hopefully Ollie gets a goal to put the international break behind him. A goal from Diaby or Ramsey would also be perfect. As long as we don’t concede from a set piece we should have enough.
  19. DakotaVilla
    It’s their favorite stadium because they’ve all got happy memories of beating us so often during our abject years.
  20. DakotaVilla
    Errr no. That’s why it’s an incredibly sub optimal stadium in the modern age. I guess some may see beauty in what is basically an architectural mess but I’d suggest that they’re probably at least partially blinded by claret and blue tinted glasses.
  21. DakotaVilla
    There has never been a holistic plan for villa park. That’s the entire problem. We have a bastardized trinity that replaced the most beautiful stand in the history of football, we have a dual tier holte that bears no resemblance to its previous single stand glory. We have a north stand that is quite frankly rotting and the Doug Ellis is an abomination purely for its name.
  22. DakotaVilla
    Depends how far back the CPO went. If it went to Holte Road that’s unlikely to be sufficient. If it went to Yew Tree road we’re in business as you could then probably rotate the stadium as well. But it would have to be CPO all the way.
  23. DakotaVilla
    And how long do you think this broke ass council is going to be able to maintain it for? The unfortunate reality is that its future is already probably very gloomy.
  24. DakotaVilla
    As I said in a perfect world we’d keep it if it didn’t get in the way of everything else but if the last time you visited it was 2 years ago it would hardly be missed. It’s not as if the Magna Carta was signed there. Anyhows this is all pure conjecture so no need to dig into this further.

    And when did you last go inside Aston hall?
