Haha not really, there’s a reason Leeds are on sky more than other teams we pull the ratings. Not saying villa don’t, but your not the only big boys around Edited April 17, 2019 by BigRed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed Posted April 17, 2019 Visiting Supporter Share Posted April 17, 2019 Think a few of my post have been taken a little out of context. I’ve been on this forum since before Xmas & I haven’t come on here to brag or belittle villa at all. I said on my first ever post I like the debate as when you’re on your own forums there is obviously club bias, I like to be say devils advocate. Obviously you haven’t been on tv much since your run started barring the Birmingham game & you looked ok. But dean smith has always struck me as wanting to play attacking wise which you when we played you at villa park & we were the better team even though we were 2-0 down as you left gaps for us to exploit, now during your run whilst it is very impressive, you’ve not come up against teams that will really punish you playing that way. If you get chances yourself I’ve no doubt your dangerous you’ve got quality players, but my point is you won’t know how you’d cope against Leeds or Norwich etc until the last 2 games of the season, so you don’t know. If you played like Birmingham do i’d Be more worried as they are the teams we’ve struggled against boro as well who try to shit up shop as soon as they get in front, that would worry in a one off final, against open teams I’d fancy us as I know we’d create chances. As well as that I’ve said I want Norwich to **** up & proper clubs like yourself go up & im not anti villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only2McInallys Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 We have played extremely well (mostly)against other playoff contenders Forest,Derby, Bristol etched beaten some them very confincingly. We are playing some of the best football I have seen for many,many years. We haven’t beaten any of the top 4 this season so I think it’s extremely difficult to predict playoffs.Last season I predicted we could beat Middlesbororugh and we could beat Fulham but not Middlesborough and Fulham. I think people are under estimating Albion ,they were a prem team last year and before that were rarely in relegation trouble.They actually have best squad in the league. Lets just concentrate on getting in the playoffs I think we will need to get something from our last 2 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are better than us and I hope we avoid them. But although we are better than most of the other teams in the league. I don’t really feel the need to go on their forums to tell them about it. Edit: I do think the Leeds fan has been very respectful in his posts. Not sure why our fans are so quick to jump on the defensive. Difficult to say, we had 11 terrible games under bruce yet what are we 15 points behind them ? Also had major players like grealish axel and Chester our fir lengthy periods. ithink the table could be a lot different if theses were not factors. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate they’ve had roofe out for nearly half the season. That’s like us losing Tammy. Anyway it’s irrelevant who the better team is.

Mazrim Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Bruce being manager and Grealish / Axel being injured for months makes Leeds injury concerns trivial in the Calamity stakes.

Not knocking them as I think they were brilliant (Spurs), but does anyone else think the away goals rule is a bit stupid? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
