Instead we can look at Spurs and Bournemouth as warm up games and look forward to Palace with some confidence throughout the team - honestly think we'll win that because we won this one. Oh I don’t know, I think perceptions have changed with our first two performances because Sky were absolutely bumming us last night. Ive never heard Neville and Carragher wax lyrical about us, our support and stadium so much as last night, the pair of them were right going on about it, think Neville said he had goosebumps at one point. Whether it’s genuine or scripted it’s nice to hear anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don’t think it’s arrogant to say that we are a real deal Premier League club and few of the 19 other clubs in this league can’t say the same. The sound coming across last night was immense. Genuine question - which grounds/fans match us for noise and overall atmosphere, especially night games? Can't think of many.

rubberman Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Good to see tough games for a few below us - particularly Palace and Newcastle. This result should really see us stick a few places up by the end of the weekend. Palace will be under pressure when we play them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Good thing that Norwich are currently losing. A team we should be looking to finish above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted August 24, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 24, 2019 What is good for the viewer is that all 3 promoted teams have come up to play it seems. it would be nice if all 3 stayed up playing that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Really, really buzzing this season, only seeing positives in our play despite the two defeats. We have still got to find our rhythm as a new team, and we still have Nakamba and reinforcements will be inevitable in January. I am like a child on Christmas Eve before every match, haven’t had this Villa buzz for years, even last season. I think the next 5 years will see this club really move forwards and find ourselves back in the mix at the top end of table. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdulaziz1 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) A huge loss for Newcastle and Bournemouth tomorrow would be great, especially with Palace winning. Dingles and Burnley is a tricky one. Burnley win will be bad as they're a relegation contenders. We're not going to realistically compete with Wolves for relegation, although I think they might struggle a bit if they qualified in Europe. But it always great to see them below us. A draw might be a good result, yes they'll be above us by GD, while Burnley Above by just a point. A win against Palace would be huge, and long may Newcastle and Watford keep losing. Although Wolves helped me at Fantasy last week, so I really don't know what I want. lol Edited August 24, 2019 by abdulaziz1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Burnley is the exact type of team Wolves usually struggle against. Games where Wolves have to dictate games is what they don't want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure who they have next week but I assume if we beat Crystal Palace we could overtake the two of them. You also would like them to struggle finding their first win. As the only three teams that haven't found a win yet are Wolves, Newcastle and Watford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
