  1. I think expectations is where we are on different pages: you just compared the current crop to one of the worst showers to ever play top flight football. I agree we’re not there. But we ARE at a stage where the manager publicly questions the players’ commitment in press conferences. I think that speaks absolute volumes, far more than looking sad for the camera.
  2. The players are nonchalant. Even Dean Smith has admitted he thinks they have a mentality problem.
  3. I think we’ll be relegated this season. (Hope I’m wrong, but I think we will.) Bjorn should take his bollicking. I am surprised by VT rushing for the “just needs an arm around his shoulder, poor fella” cliche. These are the same people who complain when we lack ruthlessness on the pitch.
  4. I have no experience of making 7 figures a year. Obviously I make less than that, and even then if I have an absolutely dogsh*t day I worry about getting fired from my job. Bjorn Engels has more job security than I do, and gets paid ten times more.
  5. I’m sure his 25 grand a week (or whatever he’s on) will keep him warm at night. Yes we all feel sorry for him but he’s a professional footballer. I won’t feel too much sympathy for him if we go down.

    Pepe Reina

    He deserved a new contract, a statue outside VP, and renaming Broad St after him.

    Douglas Luiz

    ?? I saw the chance, not the replay.
  8. We have a Championship defence and a top class goalkeeper.

    Oh okay, my stream disappeared just as he missed it!

    Douglas Luiz

    Douglas showed his inexperience there again. We all know he can hit the target from 30 yards... and now he can blast it over from six yards out
  11. Of course. Had they miraculously managed a win today they were only four points behind Villa. With 13 matches to go! I reckon they'll go down of course, but there's many twists and turns left.
  12. Mane did us a big favour there I think. Will deflate Norwich a good bit, hopefully.
  13. The UK now asking for a Canada-style free trade agreement. Under that deal, foreign companies could sue the UK government for deviating from regulations. Sovereignty, innit. Also under that deal, Canada eased its visa restrictions on Romanians entering Canada. They had to, or else the Romanians would bring the whole thing down. Backed to the hilt by MEPs, can you imagine how much the Irish government is going to extract from a Canada-style UK-EU deal? Phil Hogan will have a statue built for him.
  14. I was using short-hand when I said we'd be in the relegation zone in a month. As in literally the next sentence mentioned our next "ten or so matches" being a tough run. So, despite having clarified this was obvious short-hand, yer man there went back to the focus on exactly one month... not that he was being pedantic or anything
  15. The irony I should have predicted you wouldn't put your money where your mouth is. Good luck, Adam.
  16. Alright, let's put a bet on it. I think Villa will drop into the bottom 3 at some point before the end of the season. If we don't, I'll give £20 to VT. I'll even offer you odds of 2/1, so you only have to give £10 if it does happen. Or were you being pedantic and complaining about "in a month" as well?
  17. Obviously I'm using short-hand rather than using every post to spell out the full probability distribution. Do you disagree or are you just criticizing for the sake of it?

    Kortney Hause

    Very poor today. Awful passing and not much better defensively. Not sure I've ever seen such a one-footed player. Bring Engels back, and move Mings out to that left CB position. Can't believe Chester was allowed go. If we stay up, he's one of the first players we need to replace.
  19. Fair, but we'll be in the relegation zone in a month. The next ten or so matches is very difficult. Today was massive.

    Douglas Luiz

    I dunno. There were a few hairy bits there.
  21. Bloke has now scored against all of the top 4, hasn’t he? Three of them, anyway.
  22. Trez is an experienced international who didn't immediately settle in England. Like the man between the sticks tonight. Still a lot of work to do, but there's a player there.
  23. He is a big improvement on Taylor but anyone who’s even mentioning Mattie Targett in the same breath as the likes of Gareth Bale is 100% deluding themselves.
  24. Yer dreaming. We’ve only won two in a row once this year, and that was against Norwich and Brighton. So if you’re offering, yeah I’ll take that bet.
