Captain_Townsend Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I was hoping they would drop this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I still think they're done, facing a massive short fall in the cost of their stadium, on the brink of admin and will have to sell in Jan. More of a last stand than anything else. Can easily see Braithwaite and Doucoure moving on in Jan if not a few more. Luton have got something about them which gives them a chance, especially at home and I wouldn't bet against Burnley having a good run in the second half of the season. Sheffield United are done though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 They’ve just announced a delay to moving in the new stadium. Nothing to do with money or construction delays, they just think it would be nice to leave it empty for 6 months and move there for the 24 / 25 season. Yep. Sounds legit.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sheepyvillian Posted January 2 Popular Post Share Posted January 2 (edited) Just reading about the heartache Dwight McNeil has been going through concerning his partner who has recently been through open surgery, which n her words, resulted in, "losing an organ or two," she sent a really touching post to Dwight to express how grateful she was for being with and supporting her every step of the way. It certainly brought a tear to my eye. I always thought he was a decent player, and now I'm happy to say, "he seems an even more decent human being.

Lerner's Driver Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Calvert Lewin out of our match with Everton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Just now, Lerner's Driver said: Calvert Lewin out of our match with Everton. I really don't see that as a red. Awful conditions, he's stretching and seems to be pulling out and gets the ball in any case. Think they're appeal. In any case he's barely been involved so Beto will probably give our backline a tougher game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) I imagine Everton will appeal the red card and have a good chance of having it overturned absolutely appalling decision by the officials Edited January 5 by theboyangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, several VAR officials and the match referee viewed it several times and from various angles. All agreed it was a red, so an overturned decision will be saying they were all incorrect. Interesting if the PGMOL will 'throw them under the bus' for what is a subjective decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool got the Alexis Mac red overturned right at the start of the season after that was given a yellow and then VAR upgraded to a red. Everton can just use that as case study in the appeal.

bobzy Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Just now, LondonLax said: Surely it will get overturned. It should… but I can’t see how it does. That’s basically admitting incompetence on the part of the officials. The referee, during the game, gave absolutely nothing. Not even a foul. They then have a review and it becomes a red. I just can’t see how it’d then be overturned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do despair for football sometimes! the appeal board was right to overturn it the ref was right not to give a red, but wrong to allow VAR to convince him otherwise VAR was just all kinds of wrong i was in full support initially, but it's time to stop it now. keep for offside (selfishly as it suits our tactics) but bin off for everything else this could be a sliding doors moment though. there have been instances where a red has been given, VAR said "Not clear and obvious to overturn" but the red has been rescinded. for VAR to actually step in and for it to be rescinded, could really get them to rip the system up and start again probably not though...shame it didn't happen to a bigger team 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
