    No but he’s better than Buendia when he gets it in the box. Whether he gets it in the box or not without Buendia on the field is another debate.

    Ezri Konsa

    Interesting that Carlos replaced Young today, pushing Ezri out to right back. That could be a sign on our transfer targets this summer if the strategy is to use Cash and Konsa as right backs. It could fit with Emery’s philosophy of having a conservative RB if Moreno is pushed up and a more attacking WB (Cash) otherwise.
  3. We lack a clinical edge. Bailey, Traore, and Buendia were all off the pace and arguably have been off the pace all season — we have been very reliant on Ollie. Referee was poor, and we deserved more. Bye bye Europe, I think.

    Cameron Archer

    Fifteen minutes to go against Wolves, 1-0 down, we could really use someone like Archer.
  5. Sorry, but this is one of the funniest things I have ever read.
  6. FiveThirtyEight have the most likely outcome is 8th place on 59 points. They estimate a 72% chance we will finish either seventh or eighth, but small chances we’ll go all the way to sixth or, sadly, small chance we’ll go all the way to ninth. But these are unlikely (something like 10 or 15% chance for either). They have us beating Spurs and losing to Brighton. If we beat both Spurs and Brighton, pack your bags we are traveling Europe next season.
  7. I disagree. This has been trotted out a bit recently and I think it should be tempered a bit. Eighteen months ago, Cameron Archer had already scored a hat-trick for us in the cup and was getting a few minutes in the Premier League. The lesson about Archer is how rare it is to have a player make that jump so quickly. For every Archer there are ten Stefan Moores, Nathan Delfoneusos, Mikey Drennans, Rushian Hepburn Murphys, Graham Burkes, etc. We can’t use Cam’s rise as an guide for our transfer policy.
  8. I think we’ll win. They will be tired. Ollie will be pissed off he hasn’t scored in a week. I’m really quietly confident we’ll go there and get three points. (I know Villa will break my heart.)
  9. The likes of Shaw and Lindelof looked dead on their feet. Another hard 90 mins for Casemeiro and Ratboy hopefully leaves them tired on Sunday.
  10. I blame this post on Spurs’ equalizer.
  11. Yeah they’re looking quite leggy after 75 mins.
  12. I actually agree. The day is great fun and great memories. The matches are often crap. I went to see Manchester United play Real Madrid in a 100,000 seater college football stadium in the US. Great experience and lovely day. Fecking useless match though.
  13. Not to be a buzzkill lads, more a friendly heads up, but go into the pre-season friendlies expecting a crap match where the players barely show up. I’ve been snared by that seeing Villa abroad a few times. Pre-season friendlies are exactly that. Plan on 3+ drinks before kick off. And go to Rasika in DC for dinner. Unreal food.
  14. Wouldn’t want to be a Fulham player at half time. They’ll come out swinging in the second half.
  15. I think we will win and continue our good run of form, but a scoreless draw at 14/1 is a tempting flutter.
  16. “I see no reason why we put two keepers on on the bench.” is the new “Can he play right back?”
  17. To be fair to them, in recent years living in England is a good reason to be miserable.
  18. Contract up in 2024, you’d imagine we will cash in this summer. Reckon we could get around £8m from a promoter team.
  19. Great form. Hopefully they keep it going but I’d say they’ll be on the beach once mathematically safe.
  20. Hope Newcastle get another couple to absolutely demoralise them. Often these matches get drab in the second-half and the losing side might even score one or both two themselves. An absolute demolition would do nicely please, Newcastle.
  21. Poor bastard probably had diarrhea. A few pints of Guinness tonight and he’ll be bricking diamonds by Tuesday. Be grand.
