BOF Posted February 13, 2009 Moderator Share Posted February 13, 2009 cos I wouldn't want either.. That's fine. But don't antagonise those who CAN choose in this HYPOTHETICAL situation. This thread pretends that there IS no other option and that you have to pick one. Whats the problem with wanting all three Absolutely no problem at all and that's what the rest of the threads in the forum are discussing (including the people who are participating in this thread). As I said, you either don't get the poll or don't want to get it. But please don't ruin it for everyone else by being belligerent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrogers Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I don't get the poll Brian, clearly... oh well, you carry on... I'll expect other threads get the same backing and don't get locked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlewis Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Brian, I'm not worked up at all, I'm just trying to understand the point, as there doesn't seem to be one... An irrelivant choice just seems absolutley ridiculas.... but fine I'll move on.... crikey, bollox to me for having an opinion on a thread and trying to be positive... I know what you are saying but it's just a hypothetical situation. All football fans hypothesise, it's what genertates so much banter. If there was no hypothesised discussions about football the banter would be halved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick, there's a difference between having an opinion, and ridiculing the poll and poster because you don't agree with either option. No-one's having a go at you for not wanting either option, that's a fair point, people are having a go at you for being such an arse about it.

Wol. Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 The poll came about because some think we should rest players against Everton and CSKA to give us the best chance of getting CL next year. But the only players we could possible rest are Gabby maybe for both and Petrov. And I think we have decent cover to do this but other than that we will have to play Salifou, Shorey and Osbourne. I would not want to start any of the 3 games with those players. Maybe bring them on but not start. If I had to Vote for fun ! I would chose a A, no hang on B, A ,no B aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gort Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 So people would rather win one game that MIGHT see us finish fourth than win two cup ties that would DEFINITELY put us through to the next rounds? I'd rather finish 5th and win either cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gort Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I can just see on a Chelsea board now 'Would you rather beat Villa and lose to Juventus in the Champions League or lose to Villa and go through in the Champions League?' yeah right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P3te Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 a all the time as ive said before, the cups are there every season, the chance we have in the league may not roll around again quite so soon. we're presented with the chance to finish top 3, and guarantee ourselves group stage football in the champions league. thatll mean we can bring in a standard of player not seen at villa park for a long long time in the summer and also mean that we'll be fortifying the squad for a title challenge next season. that has to take priority imo. where we finish in the league this season has a far bigger impact on the future of the club than progressing in the cups will imo of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
