mjmooney Posted June 15, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 15, 2019 It's great to see the back of the Championship and look forward to next season, but part of me feels a little sad that the playoff final thread has disappeared from the main menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched the highlights again. One of the greatest days as a fan for me. If not the greatest. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Out of the away games I'm thinking of going to Brighton and Palace. Does anyone have an idea of what the starting price might be for a ticket for those two, more or less? I have to try to start saving up, starting from now !

8pints Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) Is this the current Villa Starting XI? With Super Sub Wesley will need to change his kit but as you can see he's facing in the same direction as the badge and looks excited so my theory holds up. Jota also needs to get a kit but leaning on the badge again proves my theory, I feel I don't have to promote this further. We could have a tough time down the right wing if our new right back is a disembodied head. Edited June 23, 2019 by 8pints So, a couple of centre halves, defensive midfielder and a winger needed in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dodgyknees Posted June 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2019 I wrote a quiz the other day, as I'm quizmaster for a few here.

Keyblade Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Best part about all of this is no more Facebook/Instagram/Periscope streams of a drunk guy streaming AVTV yelling over the poor commentary.

DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I think when we were premier league last time we took that status for granted because we are Aston Villa, and this time I don’t see us making that mistake. I think Smith is too good a manager to allow complacency in this squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current commentary is incredibly bland and boring. I don't know why, but all in-house club commentators seem to sound like this...even the biggest clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Is it just me or are a few of our rivals doing us a favour? Newcastle will be one of the favourites to go down now with Benitez gone. They're about to discover how much of a difference he made. Graham Potter is a really interesting coach, but that Brighton squad is old and was tailored towards Hughton's percentage football. I think they sowed the seeds for relegation last year, by letting Hughton buy his own men. It feels very similar to the Bruce -> DS transition, at a much more unforgiving level of football. Sheffield Utd have a great manager and did well last year, but everything about them screams relegation. Lack of resources, a style designed for the Championship... Billy Sharp is 33 now. I think the recent thing about the PL being the big 6 and everyone else fighting relegation will change a bit next season. I could see 3 or 4 tiers of teams emerging quite early on in the season. So it might be possible to avoid relegation just by staying ahead of 3 or 4 teams that have self-destructed, even if we struggle in most of our games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to keep collecting a few points here and there to stay ahead of 3 other teams. I can't see Newcastle falling that much though, they still have a decent enough team even without Benitez.

He's turned Ciaran Clark into a much defender than the one I remember. Anyway, if you were one of Newcastle's better players, now would be the ideal time to escape to a more stable club before things go downhill? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if they continue to struggle to score goals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted June 28, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 28, 2019 Have they announced when players start pre season training yet? I was just thinking it can't be that far away. Wolves started yesterday apparently though our season finished later of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle lost Rondon aswell don't forget. They had issues scoring goals and he provided double figures. Seems Ayoze Perez is unhappy with Benitez leaving also, he ended last season in brilliant form. I think they could drop tbh. They stated last season poorly but Benitez is too good a manager to just sleepwalk a team to relegation over 38 games. If they appoint another Steve McClaren standard manager then it could happen. Edit: McClaren had Wjanaldum and Sissoko as first choice midfielders (better than anything Newcastle have now) and he left them in bottom 3 so shows the dangers of appoint sub standard manager to squad low on morale.

That said Woy is pretty good at this level of getting past 40 points comfortably but that would be big test of his abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted July 2, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 2, 2019 So where is all the coverage of the players going back for pre season training. I understand they started on Monday? I am sure they made a big deal of it last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
