Isnt it a 2nd hand pitch they bought from SPurs? Levy is as close as you will get to Del Boy

Yes but the pitch it replaced was really bad. I don't know what's going on with it.

There's no chance any of your team making "Dancing on Ice" as they struggle to stand up on grass, well I say grass..........

I had a season ticket for 37 years & I really don't know why the pitch is a mess.

In the 80's they shared it with hunslet rugby league club & that wrecked it but since then it was almost perfect so I really can't explain it.

I'd imagine the Leeds fans will forget their passwords to VT for the next few days. 

Well I'm here, can't argue, you played well tonight.

Your defence looks superb.

Don't like that matt targett bloke, was he in the inbetweeners

Bamford has been around a long time and he reminds me a lot of a former Leeds player sniffer Clarke. I thought he had real talent years ago at Boro but hadn't really progressed, but hes come good at Leeds .Both Watkins and Bamford offer different qualities. 

Yep.

why would you come to a Villa forum if you didnt think we had honest opinions

Strange but unsurprising

Haha the irony, when all Leeds fans do is slag off Grealish. 

Most leeds fans know he has great skill, they just can't understand why he doesn't focus on that instead of deceiving the refs.

Omg a post from woody153 after a Leeds victory!

I might just fall off my chair .

Why would you come back if there’s no honest posts on here?

I live in the midlands & know quite a few villa fans, oh & just 1 birmingham fan

Hands up - I wouldn't have done.

He's come on leaps and bounds. Still misses quite a few, but he's scored some absolute quality goals and he works hard.

Nor would I.

It's strange how many chances he misses.

Bamford: 12 goals, not many fans of any club would have predicted that.

Bielsa isn't a cheat. He's a decent manager, and from what we've seen, an honourable and decent man. Which goes some way to explain why even he was pissed off with your team's antics on that day.

No comment on the videos, I note.

Sorry not seen any videos.

What Bamford did is one of the worst examples of cheating I've seen in years. How can you possibly defend it?

Ayling's dive this season is one of the worst all season.

Then there is the whole spy gate issue? 

Own what you are. 

Bamford did cheat, yes & I don't defend it.

Aylings dive at home to leicester? Yep wrong & won nothing football wise.

So I do admit to the clear ones but it seems you lot never see the grealish ones even when clear no contact videos are shown!

As I put earlier, the var should be examined post games & retrograde bans put in place.

Also motd lot should stop using the phrase 'he won a free kick'

This. This is why having Leeds back is more fun than Norwich.

They're horrible. It's what I like about them.

Agreed. Love them or hate them I would rather have Leeds in the Prem than Norwich or Bournemouth....

True, your team specialises in blatant dives with zero contact to get people sent off or to win penalties. 

I love the way we are always super dirty & cheats even when we're clearly not.

Which manager told his players to allow villa to score?

Why does a cheat do that? 

2 hours ago, MarkLillis said:

Fair enough, I think that some football fans maybe surprised how many of their teams players are subjected these retrograde bans then.

Like I said this is widespread in football. The genie is out of the box and many many players regard this as a skill set now.

 

It is regarded as a skill set but just feels wrong to me.

So glad my team rarely tries it

Leeds are the least likely team to have a problem

What Jack does is fully part of the game now.

There is a most fouled table and it is common knowledge that Jack is always top of it.

There a reason for this table in my opinion and that is the majority of football opinion realizes that "winning a foul"  is now a crucial skill and staying on the feet is sometimes not desirable because refs wont give you the fouled you deserve.

All clubs have players that try to do this.  They just wish that their players were as good at it as Jack is

Wanting players to stay on their feet when they have been fouled is both naïve and outdated.

This post may be correct but it is cheating & var should be used to issue retrograde bans.

Is that right? I didn't know that.  Well in that case..... 

 

To be fair my mistake, she said it on the pitch not via a tweet.

I think we're doing ok. The gap between championship & prem is massive so we need a few better players.

Young keepers often make to many mistakes, I want us to stick with him & think his mistakes level will fall.

How was that a penalty yesterday. Contact was clearly outside the area, why didn't var say free kick?

No she didnt. Watch the clip again. Embarrassingly it's still up on your official Twitter feed. 

Yes she most certainly did say that. "I actually think they got promoted cus of covid".

How more exact do you need?

She mentioned first how we run a lot / out run teams.

If others have sent nasty tweets then that is wrong but most don't know how she was done for a racist tweet as an England player.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2842913/Karen-Carney-banned-month-telling-opponent-f-Spain-FA-document-reveals.html

Telling a Spain player to f off home back in 2014.

She claimed leeds got promoted cus of covid. Implying the rest gave us an advantage. So no other club had a rest?

Also leeds had won all 5 prior to lockdown & in fact lost 2:0 at cardiff first game back.

Pundit, no homework. Wonder how much she got paid?

Why are Leeds fans so obsessed with us?

Being honest it's dean smith.

He was manager of brentford & they used to dive non stop & of course we played them quite a bit in the championship.

Bit surprised I've not had the 'slavo, slavo' at me yet  I was at wembley in 1996 

I'll probably reach my daily post limit soon so I won't put anymore.

I live in the east mids & know loads of villa fans. Know your head chef at bodymoor heath too, great bloke is Ryan.

He used to be head chef at twycross zoo & back nearly 2 years ago he liked my joke after leeds came back from 2:0 down..

"Have you heard about Dean Smiths new house? It's a 2 up 3 down" 

Just now, Zatman said:

VAR really isnt used for anything useful at this stage

Can't disagree on that!

Just now, Wainy316 said:

I count 2 proper dives ever.  Palace at home last year and that last night.

Find me some more where he has unfairly won a free kick.

 

There is a thread on the leeds message board full of recent videos.

Many dives he doesn't get the free kick. He is a great player & doesn't need to do this.

26 minutes ago, Zatman said:

Not as noble as great sportsmen like Luke Ayling, Bamford or Alioski? 

But you can only point out the odd cheat in many games from those players. All wrong though & mostly those games get booked for cheating, rightly so. I don't understand why var isn't used to stop this.

If I supported a team that had Patrick Bamford in it I'd be too embarrassed to have a Twitter account.

I've not got a twitter account & don't want one.

Bamford dives once or twice every 5? 10? games.

Mr grealish is doing 5 or more every game.

State of you.

There's a new "School for Grealish Theatrics" thread on waccoe, 7 pages in 12 hours 

There is no doubt he is a good player but this stuff can never be defended.

Not by ayling or bamford or any player at any level 

Just now, bobzy said:

“Got the ball” is wrong. The ball hit him after bouncing up off the ground. The defender failed to play the ball and kicked the attacker in the shin. 
How he went over is completely irrelevant. 

He pulled his foot back though, he did not kick the shin.
