jackbauer24 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I don't think we're in with a chance of Top 4, but it's almost a little insulting we're not even in the conversation in the BBC article by Danny Murphy. Mentions West Ham, Everton, Arsenal and Spurs - all but Everton of which we'd be ahead of if we win our games in hand. It's a bit like someone insulting your parents instead of you; I'm happy to point out our deficiencies but everyone else should have a little respect for what we've achieved to this point. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Murphy - i wouldn't be too bothered. Laughable excuse for a pundit, extremely bitter about us and i've no idea why 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right but to be fair all those teams might finish in the top four and we won’t... so we are kind of complaining about him being accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer it that way actually. Hope Everton lose and we keep winning and suddenly we’re one of the biggest contenders when it really matters! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Could do with Southampton taking points from Everton tonight. You never quite know what you’re going to get from either team so it’s a hard one to call. We could have a chance to go 7th with a game in hand.

But I have three Everton players in my FF team and used bench boost. My heart is torn. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bullshit Broadcast Corporation seem to have their own agenda like Sky with the top 6 media darlings. When their pundits are Savage, Murphy, Richards, Mills, Shearer, Jenas, Sutton, Lawro etc. Then you know to mute the bullshit analysis during MOTD or just watch it on catch up and skip past it all. These days there are only a few pundits I can tolerate because the rest of them talk absolute shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness to Sky the first thing Kelly Cates asked the two pundits after we beat Leeds on Sunday evening was "Will Villa make the top 4 this season"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the fact we're already ahead of Arsenal, having played fewer games. The second he includes Arsenal in his write up, and ignores a team ahead of them with games in hand is the only indication you need that he's a useless, stuck in the past, idiot, that actually knows nothing about football outside the world of the sky 6 (or whatever the current naming convention for then is). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallisFrizz Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Jamie Carragher has just tweeted that they are doing a big feature on the Villa defence on MNF. Might make it worth watching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micah Richards, Alan Shearer, Jermaine Jenas all regularly and enthusiastically praise Villa to the hilt (Holte). It's opinions like this that really make me wonder if people actually truly believe the opinions they espouse on platforms such as this, or simply type and chuck about names that come to mind as they do so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Everton look very solid. I wouldn’t be surprised if they managed to get the 4th spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I only watched the first half, but I thought Everton were pretty poor, only helped by the fact that Southampton looked even worse. Based on this game I'd be astonished if Everton finished in the top four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
