And consider this: how do we know that the ball crossed the line, out of the two technologies why should we trust the television images over hawkeye. this is the thing, at the time no one knew that the technology failed. that came out after the game. the players on the pitch must've been like "well obviously it didn't quite cross the line then" i so wish the technology hadn't failed though. so tired of hearing about it and i'm 100% convinced we'd have stopped up anyway. there are so many arguments to those that bring it up but i don't even dignify them with responses though. bournemouth fans are particularly salty but then i remind them of this that happened in their 0-0 draw with spurs a few games later, which conveniently doesn't get brought up much if at all: https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/tottenham-news-penalty-bournemouth-three-wrong-var-calls-confirmed-a4494741.html Quote Tottenham were wrongly denied a spot-kick by VAR Michael Oliver in one of three incorrect penalty decisions in the top-flight on Thursday night, the Premier League Match Centre have admitted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"These are awful" Even against Liverpool on Monday they were full of energy and working hard. At the end of the day they lost to better quality and may well do again against us. But no way will this be an easy game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 No professional league team has lost more matches than them after twenty-six games, Newport are the only team that have lost as many at the same stage, even we after twenty-six games the season when relegated had lost six less games than Sheffield United have currently lost. Statistically they're one of the worst teams ever, not just in the premier league but any league. It doesn't mean that we're guaranteed to win, but it's a game we should be winning, and if we play at our best it could be an absolute carnival of scintillating football and goals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One result means nothing if the rest of the season has been dreadful West Brom have drawn at Man Utd Man C and at home to Chelsea and they are going down for sure!!

Only once have they lost more: 11 in 2010-11 in the Championship. There are different ways of losing games though. I am just disagreeing with the notion of the game being easy. It's not like they are getting battered 5-0 every week. That has simply not been the case for them this season. They are generally tight games, usually them losing to the odd goal. In the reverse fixture we needed a penalty save and fight hard to beat their 10 men Edited March 3, 2021 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just imagine how much "credit" you would give Dean Smith if we were rock bottom with 11 points after 26 matches. Also, nobody said it was an easy game. I stated quite accurately that they are dreadful and that if we play well we would win. Edited March 3, 2021 by One For The Road 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Whilst Sheffield United have unquestionably been very poor this season, we also have guard against being too complacent, as that state of mind is probably our worst enemy in a game like this. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this Villa team and coaching staff are ever complacent. Tiredness and poor form isn't the same as complacency and I genuinely can't remember us being guilty of it this season.

It's Your Round Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I think part of the hatred from these kind of clubs comes from their hatred of Grealish. Nearly every Sheff U and Leeds fan I work with will always say Villa are doing well, but then caveat with but Grealish is a slimy, diving, cheating little shit. Their hatred for a player that is far beyond anything they could hope to attract is tainting their view of our whole club. That, and the fact they see us a rival from the Championship days. When Sheff U go down you can bet we’ll never hear from them again, they’ll find a new club to hate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevonVillan Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 We will demolish this lot of elbow lickers and their forums will go into turmoil. Honestly the way they talk about us on their forum really is disgusting. They really are a different breed. Much prefer their rivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
