  1. oh good lord we would loathe this guy if he wasn't playing for us. but he is playing for us. and i freaking love him.
  2. fa cup replays scrapped from next season. this is a major contributor to the blanks and doubles. could mean quite a shift to the way one plays FPL. also content creators might see a drop in views too, as i find the strategy aspect really is where they earn their money
  3. thing is i think it's really difficult to sustain a europa league campaign whilst being competitive in the league. it's arguably the worst competition to be in. playing good teams so you need to go strong every week (remember we rotated a fair bit in the group games) but without the financial benefits that the CL brings i'm desperate to qualify for the CL. i want to keep the likes of watkins and emi here and without that there's a chance their heads might be turned. yes it's very easy to say "well if they don't want to be here they can leave" but those 2 are irreplaceable IMO. it totally changes your status as a club. people point to newcastle and how it's not done them many favours but they qualified a year too early. we have enough to get through to the playoff round in the new format so there's no 'group of death' anymore. whilst on paper it's still improvement and an excellent season, 5th would feel like a failure at this point IMO. i can honestly say i'm going to be more nervous sunday than i will be tonight. sunday's game has occupied more of my mind this week than tonight's to be completely honest...
  4. fulham have always had small away following. i can't speak for brentford. bournemouth i know they have issues when taking the larger allocations and making it general sale with home fans being in the away end. it's preferable for them to have a small allocation of actual away fans rather than a full allocation that includes a number of villa fans
  5. yeah i think 3 wins from our remaining 5 basically seals it and the easiest of those is this sunday. it's going to be a nervous one this weekend.
  6. just glad i don't have to hear about it anymore. we know the score now. 4th or bust.

    Arsenal

    i think we're tied with chelsea on 5 now
  8. anyone watching baby reindeer? 6 episodes in and absolutely hooked
  9. coffee > tea and chocolate is way overrated. not worth the calories at all
  10. hovering around 42k. final push now. going to have a bit of fun with the doubles this week before WC next week. BB 37 which i'm not overly optimistic about. i just want to better last year's best ever FPL season and finish in the top 100k there's so much content around now including from the official FPL channels. players are spoon fed so much information that at this stage of the season everyone in the top 500k i'd imagine is what you'd call an 'engaged' FPL player so it's become much more difficult
  11. this is interesting. Stelling refused to discuss what the powers at talk sport asked him to. Just a little insight into how media outlets work in terms of trying to stir shit for likes
  12. people need to understand, it's not the media ignoring us, it's just simply that focusing on the likes of arsenal gives them more views, retweets, comments and likes. teams like arsenal, spurs and utd have massive global fanbases and their fans will do all of the above on the various clips talking about their team. you don't get a 10th of the numbers if all their coverage is about how good villa were. it's simple business, that's all. people need to stop taking it to heart.
  13. i love him. he's been fantastic. but today wouldn't have suited him. he slows play down a lot (which often we want, especially at home), but today arsenal really struggled with our quick transitions. i don't think that necessarily woud've happened had he been on the pitch
  14. god it still winds me up when still, even now, however many games we play where people see it works, you still get shouts of "stop pissing about at the back and get it away!!!"
  15. anyone else at the game will hopefully back me up. i've not seen scenes like that since the 3-1 vs sheffield wed in the 10 game run. we've had other amazing other away results since but it was absolute pandamonium today. what a performance, to a man. every single player was 8/10 or better. players who have been criticised at various points during the season like carlos and diaby did brilliantly. brentford was disappointing but we're right back on track. **** 5th. **** coefficients. **** having to cheer for 115 charge facing city winning the CL. i want 4th and i think we can get it wrapped up before the last game so can just go to palace and have a massive party
  16. hardest MOTM choice in as long as i can remember. there were about 7 or 8 genuine contenders for me
  17. never have i been so happy to see my double arsenal defence concede so glad ollie coming off my bench. don't know why i benched him in the first place
  18. genuine question, could such posts be considered "better fan" comments which is against site guidelines?
  19. felt a bit dirty benching ollie so hoping foden doesn't come on
  20. "There are 20,000+ fans at every home match" oh it gets even better... "got home at 1am after my 180 mile round trip" - i thought they all lived next door to the stadium unlike that lot from down the road who all live in the shires??
  21. just seen this. holy crap that's tempting.
