They'll get picked up by some mid table clubs i recon. If their clubs get relegated. I'd take both at Villa even though i can't see a world where Troy would want to join us..

Or get your hair cut? "because they are tested" is bollocks because like I said if i am tested and negative and my dad is tested and negative I still can't meet him round his house to watch the football The standards of it are all over the shop Can't you see your family in the park now? I guess they're saying walking with your Dad around a park for however long if you don't live with him is same as spending 45 minutes on a training pitch with team mates but not being in the dressing room with them at this point.

No new cases in London today. Its quite possible that this virus could just die out without the need of a vaccine. Probably the wrong thread but no new cases in London sounds too good to be true and the last place you'd suspect it to happen given the majority of UK public transport use is happening there with the tube still pretty busy at rush hour. Good news anyway for perhaps a months time for other parts of the country. Edited May 20, 2020 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdulaziz1 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 They’ve cancelled relegation in Ligue 2 in France. I read that they’ll play 22 teams there. Hopefully that Toulouse and Amiens win their case and stay up. One of the most ridiculous things to do, yes Toulouse were far behind, but to just drop Amiens, then get the first two who are only one and two points above third, three above fourth, 4 above fifth with a lot of the season gone. Just putting relegation teams as scapegoats (while they’re the most ones that will have problems through that decision) is bad from them. Hopefully Amiens sue them so that all Leagues stops these jokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the heartbeat of that team. Think Defeulou being injured still will be bigger but then Pearson knows what to do in this situation. I'd say we need to finish above Bournemouth and Brighton who on paper have run ins as tough or tougher than we do. The big unknown is which teams will react better to BCD home and away. I think with us it will go two ways. We could suffer from not having fantastic evening atmosphere v likes of Sheffield united and Palace. At the same time though loads of players down the years have said how hard it's to play at Villa Park when the crowd are groaning at misplaced passes after 10 minutes so perhaps silence will help some of the younger ones not tense up so easily.

I think Delefeou is back, but Watford fans are concerned about whether he'll be very keen as he's linked with having been tapped up by Arsenal. I think the football will come down to the teams that clubs decide to select - how much each club cares about a game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Looking at the training pictures posted on Twitter i feel really proud of the players. Despite being 19th and under a pandemic they all seem to be buzzing to be back. Made me feel really excited and hopeful for the run in. I believe we can survive with Super John Mcginn back 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we've heard anything negative from the Villa camp. Best way keep your mouths shut. Edited May 20, 2020 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 A lot of fans had convinced themselves that season wasn't going to continue, some even insisting that it would be voided. The fans thinking like that is one thing but for a footballer if you convince yourself that season is over then it must be hard to get back into the right frame of mind if you're then told that the season isn't in fact over. So I think the teams that will do the best when it returns will be the ones who managed to stay focused mentally, even during the break managers will still have had a very important job to do in keepng the players' minds focused. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
