Amazingly we were only the 4th worst ever with 17. At this point, I still fancy/hope Everton will finally drop next season, Luton obvs and then Sheffield probably the next favourites. I've said elsewhere I think City will be run close by Utd next season at the top. Arsenal I think will continue the slightly inconsistent performance form later in the season, Liverpool have a bit of work to do to an aging squad, Newcastle, depending on recruitment, could push on to challenge for the title, but probably will settle in the 3rd to 5th slots. I hope we can be up with those above - a 5th CL spot opening up would be what we should aim for but they are good teams. Europa/ECL slots - Chelsea will improve, but so much work for Poch to do. Spurs - a disaster, may not even make junior Europe. Brighton - as ever depends who goes and if they can magic up another batch of replacements. Dunno who else makes the top 10 - Brentford? Fulham? West Ham? Palace? Most of the rest are quite crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Think Derby only won one game didn't they. I have a Kenny Miller volley (maybe against Newcastle?) to give them a 1-0 win in my mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I really fancy Luton to turn over a few sides at Kenilworth Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted May 31, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 31, 2023 No one mentioning Wolves for relegation? Manager about to walk after being lied to about finances. Better players leaving to balance FFP books. Could be on the cards if they don't replace the manager with someone decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Just seen something on Instagram I hadn’t considered yet - how the heck are they going to effectively implement VAR at Kenilworth road? Going to be a logistical nightmare I’d imagine and it’s possible they won’t be able to have the same level of coverage across the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It lacks what I would assume is some of the basic infrastructure for VAR, such as camera gantry’s around the stadium etc. Due to the shape and structure of Anfield we found out that they don’t have 100% coverage (when that goal was scored off a corner, can’t remember who they were playing but someone was ruled offside and there was no definitive camera angle to prove or disprove it). If Anfield can have that issue I can only assume it’ll be magnified at Luton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Petrovs goal I still think is one of the best ever scored in the premier League. If some arsehole like Rooney scored it they'd still be going on about it 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 There is absolutely no way Luton won't get a win. We hear this every year about sides, but it really takes something to get promoted and then not win once in 38 games. They deserve a bit more respect. Usually we are the team who falls over for these sides as well. Watford start of last season we went in full of confidence and lost. Bournemouth this season. Sheff Utd the season before towards the end of the season were really struggling and we still lost. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on their midfield reconstruction yet but Macalister for 30m ish is a bargain in today's prices and they missed likes of Diaz and Jota in final third for half a season. They won't challenge for the league but I think they'll finish above Newcastle and Man. United as things stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
