I flew back from Germany the morning of that game to watch it. It was not worth the journey. I watched it at home with my wife’s dad, brother and uncle round. Two of them fell asleep before an hour had been played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember I lost my bearings and ended up where the away fans normally are in the upper Doug Ellis. I was shocked at how small the concourse is!

Well it was the Ellis stand - so obviously, horribly tight upstairs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That extends our winless run to 6 games (5 losses and a draw) in Lawroland. Tis a silly place. Surprised he's got caught up in the Leeds circlejerk quite so hard, he usually seems too meat and veg for that kind of exotic hype job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Interesting article on the Beeb - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54984207 Could a club from outside the 'big 6' really win the Premier League? A few snippets - Quote For just the third time since the Premier League was reduced to 20 teams in 1995, three sides from outside the big six could amass 16 or more points from the first eight games of the season. League leaders Leicester City have taken an impressive 18 points from a possible 24, while fourth-placed Southampton have 16 points and Aston Villa, in sixth with a game in hand, could become only the 23rd 'smaller' side to reach that tally in the past 26 seasons. Sixth-placed Aston Villa are the standout surprise package this term, having bounced back from the brink of a return to the Championship on the final day of last season to being three points off top spot, with a game in hand. After five wins and 15 points from seven games, victory against Brighton in their next match would mean Villa match Leicester's eight-game haul and secure more than half the points they managed in the whole of last season - when they won nine games. A draw against Brighton would still ensure they join Southampton on 16 points from eight games, an impressive tally bettered by only eight non-big six sides since 1995. But, while none of the 20 non-big six teams to take as many as 16 points from eight games have previously won the league, five have finished in a lucrative top-four position. A top-seven placing has been achieved on 12 of those occasions, which would leave the door open to European qualification, while five sides ended in the bottom half. None have been relegated.

Also Man Utd actually have 1 point more than they did last season at the same stage. Edited November 20, 2020 by ender4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Yeah Manure will get it together at some point and obviously Man City too. Hence that will squeeze Villa out of the top six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what and the best thing is, neither do they. Their performances vs money spent is amusing and helps the Villa in a way as they skew the market. 80 Mill defender who is awful, how much is Jack worth then by Manure logic ? 455 M ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 The only reason Man U will be ok is they have Fernandez. Time and time again he is the difference. If he got injured they would be screwed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted but we are still massively dependent on one player, who if got injured would result in a little bit of a problem! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
