Norwich have conceded more in those two against weaker opposition. Just because some of us selfishly haven’t decided to crown Norwich champions in time for their Christmas party, doesn’t make us deluded. Hopeful yep, fanciful even. Deluded? Not quite. I'm don't even have hope for it, because top 2 is not happening. I'm sorry it just isn't. I will sell my car and donate my liver if we finish in the top 2.

You’re comfortably the biggest side in the region with an absolute classic of a football ground, you’r the logical team to envy. But beyond the West Midlands, you’re relatively insignificant. Now, forgive me if I sound arrogant, but Leeds United are a national obsession. Called scum and hated pretty much wherever we go. There’s a reason why you’ll hear ‘We all hate Leeds Scum’ at grounds up and down the country and not ‘We all hate Villa.’ Just Wolves, Birmingham, Coventry and West Brom who hate you lads, sorry Okaaaaaay. Leeds United, insignificant for well over a decade now are nationally more significant than Aston Villa. Why are we inundated with Leeds fans on here? Are we the butt of some kind of joke/trolling that I/we don't get?! I don't care that fans of other clubs post on here, it's a free world (kind of), but let's not forget that they mostly appeared around the time we looked set to run into some serious financial concern in the summer so my own take is that they weren't really here to wish us well, more likely to revel in our pending misery (at the time).

holteend1982 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 1 hour ago, villalad21 said: That i agree with you on. There are some deluded fans on here which have naive expectations. The reality is we are 10 points behind 2nd. With a defense and keeper like this there is little hope in reaching the top 2 and i don't think the January window will just magically fix our defense. New arrivals need time to adjust and settle in, it's not an over night thing. I agree it's very unlikely we will reach top 2 but it's no way delusional. A 10 point gap at this point of the season doesn't really mean much especially as those at the top really aren't that special. I wouldn't be shocked if Norwich and Leeds both finished outside the play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The form over his 9 games is not much better then us and and this weekend could change it. That’s only surprising if you take the 9 games in isolation and completely forget about the clubs form up to the time he took over. You have been good all season so there’s no surprise your form is as good as ours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf unless your challenging for the top 4 then your insignificant nationally.

In the grand scheme of things you're not wrong but it's a bit of a stretch to claim that Leeds are nationally significant whereas Villa are only a regional concern.

"Moose" from talksport is very keen that you get promted along with other English managers like Darren Moore, Tony Pulis and Chris Wilder. Shame nobody told him that Pulis is Welsh. He discounted Chris Hughton from his list of "English managers" in the Prem so Jamaican international Darren Moore cant count either. Bizarre man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how anybody can want Pulis and his brand of football promoted. I don’t care what nationality he is! Bielsa’s teams have been playing the right way for years. I think he is doing an amazing job with Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New arrivals need time to adjust and settle in, it's not an over night thing. What absolute nonsense Just because you have a lack of faith in the manager, players and playing style despite us proving in the last number of games that we are more than a match for anyone, doesnt mean people who don't share your negativity are naive or deluded. I'll happily take your car from you if the mighty Villa make the top 2. if you cared to read the previous page it was pointed out that we were a similar 10 points behind then 2nd place Cardiff and just 9 games later we were 4 points ahead of them. There are 25 games to go, believing we can catch the top 2 is not deluded. And nobody is expecting that we catch them, just pointing out that it can be done as it was last season but this time we are far better. As for any weaknesses in the playing squad, have you looked at the calendar? theres a transfer window almost upon us! We don't need major surgery as our form proves, just a bit of tweaking 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
