  1. Hows 10th our best position all season? We were 7th after the Man U win. And then just lost all discipline, and stopped competing for the next 5 games. 7th to 10th is a fairer reflection of where we should be, as we're seeing again now. I meant from an expectation perspective. If you're the owners, and Gerrard has very quickly steadied the ship and we're in tenth. You wouldnt expect them to say to him to aim to finish as a minimum of 13th. Youd want a top half finish. I'm not saying we cant finish lower than where we are now.
  2. Gosh I'd forgotten about that. Its interesting though, do we get more points against top half teams than lower half teams? Other than against man city, we must have a fairly even points spread this season and last season.
  3. In the last 16 months we have beaten Liverpool, Chelsea, Man U, Tottenham, Leicester twice and Arsenal twice. As you say, it's not really a free hit as this is where we are getting a lot of our points from. It's one of those though where after the event you cant be too disappointed if we dont come away with anything.
  4. 100% agree. We'd be around 7th/8th now if we hadn't capitulated against Wolves. We've had a fairly average season so far.
  5. How would you consider 10th as achievable? We're 10th right now having just lost 6 of the last 9 and sacking the manager. Surely 10th is the minimum?
  6. But seriously the linesman will go home tonight, and he just got the two key decisions wrong, because he isnt a robot. Just use cameras and an alert system for offside, put them out their misery. A bit like they have the ball crossing the goal line.
  7. VAR is an absolute farce. What even is the point of linesman.
  8. Its annoying that they dont ever say, "we got it wrong". Its not like that would be an issue.
  9. His touch is way better than it was. He is taking the touch and attracting players in before releasing it. It's as if he believes more in his own footballing abilities now. It's good also to see his personality coming out. He is majorly celebrating goals, and leading the post match celebration at the holte end. Great to see.
  10. I always think we should be number two. Bournemouth being number one is ridiculous.
  11. Wow! We were going halves of seasons with no goals from corners! It always annoyed me because I felt that Konsa and Mings should be more trouble than they were. Maybe it was the delivery/lack of plan that was the issue.
  12. What a turnaround in this department. We look a serious threat from corners, and long may it continue.
  13. Ye will buy online on the day, just cant commit to ordering now as only know if can attend Tues afternoon. Cheers. Drove to the youth cup final and parked in that car park up from Witton station. Do you know how parking works for much smaller crowds, like can you park on the club car park?
  14. Are there no trains running after the game?
  15. We've got Leicester at home in the FA youth cup on Tuesday, anyone know if you can pay on the gate or is it just tickets in advance? Cheers
  16. He's done those half hearted blocks a few times now, Bailey.
  17. I said that on the way out of the ground last night. Even had that crucial reflex save from their keeper.
  18. I dont really have a lot of judgement when we play man city, but I think the players gave it their all. I kind of feel sorry for their travelling fans because their hardcore probably dont want them to win every game. Although the fact that they rival Liverpool and Man U may alter that somewhat.
  19. Sick as in good? I cant keep up with the lingo these days.
  20. I dont agree with the moaning about the most expensive seats in the ground being £50 against Man City. I'm sure Blues charge about £30-35 most weeks and tickets in Solihull Moors division are generally £15-£20. The cost of all event tickets has gone up ridiculously in the last 5 years, and I'd say if anything Villa ticket prices generally havent kept up with the increases.
  21. Its mad to think that if we'd held on those last ten mins v Wolves we would be 6th in the league right now. Well obviously assuming Smith would have still left when he did.
  22. This is pretty much like us away at Sheff U last season. Lose one nil with them down to ten men.
  23. There was the Grealish one when he made his league debut for Man City, and a lad runs on and asks for it off him. I dont know how much a match worn premier league shirt goes for online but for the league debut of the most expensive league player I wouldnt be surprised if it fetches £500 plus. I'd be interested to know if the parents get into any bother with it.
