Mark Albrighton Posted March 14, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 14, 2021 5 minutes ago, VillaChris said: Nearly 25 years ago. Can remember that open away end they used to have behind the goal. Won at Villa Park that season. I agree it would be incredibly boring if it's just Norwich and Watford straight back up as top 2. Bournemouth don't look like they'll make the play offs at least so should have someone reasonably new come up. I was at that match. John Gregory securing 9 wins out of the final 11 league matches. And I pick that one to attend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisVillan Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 My favourite non-league stories are all about Shepshed Dynamo mouths getting beaten up. Surprisingly common. The stories, not Shepshed fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 After tonight Norwich will be on 87 points after 40 games, that's 12 more points than Leeds had at the same stage last season, and are 17 points clear of Watford in third place. They're also currently beating Huddersfield 7-0, so my prediction wasn't a very good one, although to be fair I wasn't expecting them to keep the likes of Buendia, Cantwell, Pukki, Aarons and so on. Will be interesting to see if they show more ambition next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Joel Pereira has to be the worst keeper to ever play at this level. Every time he's in goal for a team he lets in countless goals. This is the guy who supposedly single handedly relegated Hearts from the SPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good intellectual habits, definitely a standard I don't live up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not be be too concerned, I still recall countless Norwich fans on the reddit on soccer and championships subs screaming for Farke's head earlier in this season when they were about 4th... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I think that will become a future strategy, win championship, pocket cash and almost certainly go down, look to win again and then do the big spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean future? That has been done a number of times already, it is exactly what Norwich have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read about that deal recently and it did cross my mind that he seemed to be very sketchy, basically a Spanish Dr Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bournemouth could be in the playoffs too. I think Covid situation really helped the relegated clubs this year. As said above in a normal year no chances the likes of Sarr, Buendia, Cantwell, Max Aarons would've stayed after relegation but last summer prem clubs didn't really want to spend 20-30m getting some of those in so that's meant Norwich and Watford kept far better 11s than they though possible. Bournemouth aswell kept most of their squad. When West Brom came down the other year they lost half their starting 11 for various reasons and same will probably happen again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Well it looks like norwich watford up Rotherham Wednesday and wycombe down. Pretty unexciting season in the championship this year Expect norwich will get relegated again. Then we see next season wba and fulham come back up again.
