surely there's a minimum criteria to be a PL ground and that wouldn't meet it?

if we thought we had the next bellingham on our hands we'd pay what his agent is asking for something still doesn't add up for me. say what you want about romano, but i find it weird that a journo with over 7.5 twitter followers is tweeting about a kid playing for a team in the PL bottom half with barely a handful of 1st team appearances under his belt i still maintain his agent is **** about here and has a few journos on speed dial.

watched the new scream tonight. thought it was pretty shit.

i thought the same. seemed to make it up as it goes along

he did similar when we nearly went down a couple of seasons ago and to be fair, i seem to recall him donating a fair wedge to charity when we stayed up. it's just bants. deep down he knows we're not going down but is just having a laugh.

this puts leeds right in it. 2 tough games for them next i think burnley will go down though. everton was always a long shot with watford, palace and brentford to play

im not convinced. that looked a poor side yesterday. yes it's difficult when you know you're going down and barely 1500 fans have bothered to make the trip because they know the same, but that side looked dreadful. personally, whilst i have nothing personal against norwich, i'm tired of seeing them come up, make zero attempt to stay up by way of investment, and go down. that's a space that could go to a forest or similar who you'd expect to make a real go of it i feel for deano. i feel he needs a project and not sure he'll get that at norwich. if they manage to come back up, the outcome will be the same.

i think we'll give liverpool a game yes. if city have already won the league then we could get something. i think we'll take at least another 7 points overall which is perfectly doable

yes but it was upside down

same. minimum 2 wins from the 2x burnleys and palace with another point or 3 from the other games

exactly. i don't fear leeds being too big a threat to us. same as burnley. but leeds going down would be much funnier. the head wants everton to go down, the heart wants leeds to go.

he's not going anywhere in the summer but i'm not sold yet. made of glass for a start. but he definitely has a little bit of quality in him. a worldie of a save stopped him scoring a screamer today

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-birmingham-61261016 Sounds bloody fantastic

"me calling you stupid has nowhere near the magnitude of douchebaggery that is your entire identity" i love this guy

3 points, no excuses

thanks for that. funny stuff "stop being a dick" "no you stop being a dick"

apparently he hasn't! yet, anyway

hear hear. would love it if bournemouth **** it up bournemouth's comeback the other night changes nothing really. had they lost forest would still have been 2pts behind therefore still needing a win tuesday

had a look. looks like a mobile game to me...don't quite see the fascination! i guess i just don't get it

kinda the same with slow horses for me. 1 episode in and i'm not gripped yet

forest to nick 2nd off bournemouth? would be mega lolz that. though was kinda hoping bournemouth would come up so i can finally stop hearing about **** hawkeye

been years since i played one of these. so this GM mode, you just create shows i guess? does that not get kinda boring?

i dont get this. why do you not count the initial games? the new manager bounce is a myth anyway IMO. so rarely have we seen it in recent years and it's not something generally seen as much anymore. we didn't have it with bruce or smith. you mentioned getting knocked out of the cup as a negative when anyone watching that game knows we deserved to win...or had you conveniently forgotten that?

yes. the scientific calculation is: "if we lose our first 5 then we will count them in his PPG number but if we start well then we discount them and just say it was because of a new manager bounce"

i think the liverpool connection has really rubbed some folk up the wrong way. that was clear when we appointed him and numerous people were saying he was just using us as a stepping stone. we've just gone from a boyhood villa fan to a liverpool fan...we've gone from one of our own to someone whose grown up supporting a generally disliked club. for the record it never bothered me...but i do think it was a factor. our fanbase also doesn't seem to like managers who are well liked by the media. it was (and still is) a frequent dig with regards to bruce, and i've seen "gerrards media mates" or similar a number of times. we should have liked seeing our manager on a popular youtube channel the overlap, but it pissed so many people off. these are just theories of course. it's just funny that people have quickly forgotten those 3 games in a row where we played good stuff just because we dropped a few points against good sides.
