My opinion is the fans put extra pressure on players when there trying to adjust to the PL, I hate to think of the sighs Bertrands/ McGinns miss placed passes would have got with the fans in. Does it though? Our away form has been much better than our home form this season. If anything it seems like having no fans at VP is hindering us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also gives new players more time to settle before the pressure builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) I think we are just a much better team than last season and having no fans creates a more even playing field. Our home record was decent last season so there’s no reason to suggest it wouldn’t have continued that way with fans. When villa park is happy it’s a great place for players to be.

Yes! Brilliant! Would be fantastic if we did this. Reminds me of the other hillarious celebration many years ago with Jimmy Bullard at Hull City taking the piss out of Phil Brown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Dean should have said to the FA, i was just reciting a Limerick to him quote: "There was a young man from Madras whose balls were constructed of Brass when jangled together...They played "Stormy Weather" and Lightning shot out of his Ass" couldn't be Jon Moss, because he talks out of his... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) You know what, some people will say that Newcastle are shit, and they are, but you need to be half decent to ram that home. This evening was like watching a exhibition mate, totally dominant never needing to get out of first gear. Smith has built a fecking good team.

The_Steve Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Villa (W9-D2-L6) have equalled their total number of Premier League victories in the entire 2019-20 season (W9-D8-L21). What a stat. Fantastic turnaround with just 17 games played. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I almost feel bad for Newcastle. I don't think we could've asked for an easier game than that, for me they are hands down the worst team in the league. Yes even worse than the team with 5 points currently. They're 2-0 down and just standing still as we pass it about with all the time in the world, absolutely crazy. Wasn't our best performance for me tonight but we still produced some absolutely delightful football in patches. It's so enjoyable watching this football club.
