I'm genuinely really happy we've survived, we are now in a great position, I just don't want this celebration of avoiding relegation to be constant or it won't feel any different to how we were under Lerner. It does feel different this time though, it feels like we can move forward as a club and meet the aspirations our fans have yearned for for so long. I'm excited for to see who we bring in, but also slightly nervous, the quality of player needs to be better than last summer that's for sure Seems that’s been recognised by the board too, I’d imagine they will be after a proven pedigree Sporting Director. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommo_b Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I do wonder of Bournemouth might appeal that Hawkeye decision or should I say lack of decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the floodgates would open. No doubt we'd then appeal Kevin Friends awful decision against Palace, which would put us back in front of Bournemouth again.

Assuming the game would end 1-0 to SU when there were 50 more minutes to play is just silly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 18 minutes ago, deeps said: We’ve come a long way.... That is awful to look at, however I remember at the time feeling quite optimistic. I’d watched us play a friendly against newly promoted Middlesbrough at Villa Park and thought Tshibola looked decent because he actually looked up when he got the ball, and tried to pass forwards. We were so used to players hiding and playing it safe. Even after Gollini’s howler at Hillsborough, I still thought we’d have a good season. But in reality that season was awful, the one after was a bit better until the playoff final loss and subsequent threats of administration. We’re in a completely different place now, the nightmare is over and we can start looking forwards. It feels great doesn’t it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big club shouldn't be happy why didn't we win everything, only then happiness should be felt, but only ever stoically, like Hemingway. A strong stare into the woods. Definitely don't smile.

Its not easy getting back up as we know, and they will lose 3-4 of their best players. They will need to keep Eddie Howe, thats their first big challenge. I don't see them bouncing straight back, I would say Norwich, Watford, Brentford/Cardiff/Swansea/Fulham are all better placed to challenge next season.

villa4europe Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Bournemouth have leaked that they're meeting lawyers later today to discuss legal action against hawk eye Not against us, not against the PL so despite the nonsense surrounding it we won't be dragged back in to any trouble* Would give them the financial shot that they need * I don't see how they win, they can't prove that we would have lost the sheff utd game due to an incorrect decision in the 42nd minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GK, defence and forwards aren't TOO bad there, but what is absolutely hideous is the midfield. Hard to overstate just how much of an upgrade Luiz, Hourihane and McGinn are on Westwood, Gardner and Bacuna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I still can't believe we've stayed up. Maybe I'll believe it when the fixtures come out and Wycombe Wanderers away isn't on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 I can’t believe Bournemouth would be stupid enough to think that 1 decision would directly correlate to them staying up. FA won’t be happy because VAR missed it too and it shines a big light on that. Never in a million years will they get anything out of it (apart from ridicule).

What they should be focusing on is why they only got 34 points in 38 games and conceded nearly 70 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
