R.Bear Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) In some ways, we have absolutely bottled it this season. Just think, if we had picked up just two wins as opposed to 0 in the last 10 we would be sitting quite pretty. We were safe and we've **** it right up.

Cliffy Biro Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Really is a depressing club at the moment, never thought we'd turn into one of these pointless yo-yo clubs that never really do anything but go down and come back up to fight relegation and then go back down again and rinse and repeat.

The last 10 years must have been the worst 10 years this club has ever had. Not one good season (the promotion doesnt count), no trophies, endless embarrassment on and off the pitch and some of worst results, performances and managers in AVFC history.

Genie Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 What the hell is it with the vanishing act once the balls is crossed in? It’s surreal. Where do the strikers hide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I got plenty of shit in the match thread but I just don't care about the Prem one single bit and I'm quite looking forward to the Championship. It genuinely makes football completely miserable for me, can't remember the last time I enjoyed it. What on earth is the point in that? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Only slim hope we have of surviving now is bringing in a new manager and hoping that they can make an immediate impact, trouble is I doubt that anyone would take it just for four games knowing that it would need a miracle to keep us up and the damage it could do to their reputation, so the only options would be those that would be willing to work in the championship and could take charge at short notice, so it's almost impossible to do.

Popular Post R.Bear Posted July 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2020 We have to accept now that we're a nothing club really. Holding onto the "Proud history" bollocks means nothing and counts for nothing. No-one respects us anymore and we dont deserve any either. Football really is an amazing thing. Nothing else in life would you tolerate so much misery and come back for more the next day. At least in a bad marriage you can get divorced. All of us are stuck with this team for life. I agree with Farlz above, I'm not interested in getting promoted to have a season like this again, or a 15-16. Or become relegation fodder every year like rats trying to survive. I dont see how anyone would enjoy that or get anything out of it. Sadly, that seems the only foreseeable future atm and that's if things go well. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could happily argue with Francis Coyle. Who the hell does he think he is, talking s**t about our football club?

wilko154 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 If's and But's (updated) Not the best start. But a game we were always likely to lose in all honesty. Watford to beat Norwich West Ham to draw to Burnley - lost Tottenham to beat Bournemouth - draw Villa to draw to Man U - lost 16 - West Ham - 31 points 17 - Watford - 31 points 18 - Bournemouth - 28 points 19 - Aston Villa - 27 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 If's and But's Many games have been called must win's over the years. However Sunday's game is a must win in every sense of the word. Watford to draw to Newcastle West Ham to beat Norwich Bournemouth to lose to Leicester Aston Villa to beat Crystal Palace 16 - West Ham - 34 points 17 - Watford - 32 points 18 - Aston Villa - 30 points 19 - Bournemouth - 28 points 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted July 10, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 10, 2020 Forget this season , next season I want double figures against small heath and the state their in its quite possible. Whatever we are , we are always better than 99.9% of the clubs in English football. Form is temporary, class lasts .UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good - I'm glad you're letting the entitlement go and starting to look at things from a more realistic perspective. The European Cup we won may as well be tied around our neck as we drown, the fat **** lot of good it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxfordVillan Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 For me the Crystal Palace game is a must win, regardless of any other results that happen around us. If we can’t win this game then it’s over for us. This must be the springboard we’ve all waited for. If it isn’t we’ll be diving into an empty pool.
