deeps Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Defo in a relegation battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) This could be the season I reckon. Their home form is wretched and that's tended to keep them up in previous seasons. Karanka is actually a decent manager so amazed how bad they've been and if they sacked him they ain't finding a better one than him this season.

mottaloo Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Bradley Dack scored the second. Wasn't he touted as the next big thing or did he get all Billy Big B*ll*cks and thought he was better than he actually was ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been injured for last 12 months so more time for reality TV as think he goes out with someone from TOWIE? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted January 2, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 2, 2021 Neil Moxley is actually a decent chap so not about him but get a load of how they are feeling at the moment. I’d have sympathy for them if not for the coffin and various other incidents over the years. Oh and note Dack getting on score sheet, I recall Blackburn fans telling us that he was better than Jack. Forest, Derby and Wednesday below them now picking up wins and a Derby/QPR with a game in hand and Rotherham with 3, they are in huge trouble. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's useless personally. Very dour, boring football, and not only that but largely incapable of changing style when it isn't working. Considering the hammering the likes of Bruce and Pulis get On Here, it always surprises me that Karanka is rated at all. He's just the Spanish equivalent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get this view on Karanka, yes he took Boro up as runners up but fell out with players, staff and owner and famously walked out at one point. In those days they were if I recall fairly big spenders in the Champ, in the Prem they were shocking scoring just 19 in 27 before he got sacked. He did okay at Forest which I can tell you is a difficult job for any manager with the ownership and got them 7th having spent a fair bit including breaking the clubs transfer record. He left though after falling out with the owners and a number of players. That is about it, then came Blues. For me he seems to have a reputation I’m not really sure is deserved. He plays horrific defensive football and tried to pinch games 1-0 and that’s about it until he falls out with people. I think him and Dong will have a er... ding dong sooner or later and he will be off. I don’t rate him or his football and I think he has a reputation above his ability or performance. Still I think he is doing a marvellous job at present! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 I can just imagine how they smirked last night, drooling down their stained wife-beater vests, as we were cheated at manYure yet again. Nice bit of karma I say (and the Felchers three points above them as well) 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 20 minutes ago, HanoiVillan said: is he though Took Boro up (playing incredibly boring football). Was sort of doing a similar job to DS when they sacked him around February time (playing incredibly boring football). Think Forest were about 7th when he was sacked mid season (playing coma inducing football bar that mad 5-5 game we played v them). At this level he's a decent manager so surprised me he hasn't done the job there Rowett and Monk did. Guess they could try to tempt Paul Cook as he's still out there and surprisingly been overlooked for a few championship jobs so far. That's probably the best alternative for them.

TrentVilla Posted January 2, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 2, 2021 I can see Pulis and his hat turning up at the Sty around mid Feb, which will be ideal timing as there will be no grass left on their pitch by then which will be just how he likes it.

Popular Post TrentVilla Posted January 2, 2021 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2021 Just now, useless said: They play Man City next week, if City hit top form it could be a record defeat. I always remember having a couple of beers with a Villa mate and a nose who played for our team when they got spanked by Liverpool. Was it 8-0 or something? We started feeling sorry for him and stopped taking the piss which tipped him over the edge. He exploded at us saying “I can take getting hammered, we are Blues we are shit, but I can’t take sitting here with you $€>¥’s feeling sorry for me. @&£” off!” then walked out. It was just delightful. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
