Mark Albrighton Posted May 7, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 7, 2022 I’d probably forgo bringing inflatable European cups to the etihad. It’ll be slightly undermined by seeing Villa have to applaud the champions onto the pitch. Or watch them lift the title. I don’t really like it when clubs either win things against us, or secure records against us. It’s like we’re forced into bit part onlookers in someone else’s success. Just not a fan of it. Petty, yeah. But frankly I think a lot of football runs off pettiness. Add to that there’s going to be a lot of “Well he left his boyhood club to win trophies…little did he know his first was going to be AGAINST them!!” type wankery that day. It’s easy to tune out. And indeed I will tune it out (the trick is not to watch - clever, I know). But it existing is annoying enough Like I say. Petty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) Yeah I don't think I'll bother watching our last game, I can't take the Grealish wankery that seems inevitable. Edited May 7, 2022 by Davkaus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think it will be mentioned that much, I think Grealish reputation is completely sunk now especially compared to this time last season if it came down to a final day showdown, Stevie G would make the headlines more than Grealish. Probably Foden as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Being heavily linked with frenkie de Jong from barca, from what I saw of him at ajax he's a good player who can play Peps death by a thousand passes football, from what I saw of him at koemans barca hed struggle to get a game for the dog and duck... Head had completely gone, not seen him play for xavis barca Also linked with utd but that could be more of a lazy link to his old manager, his performance under koeman says to me that his face won't fit at utd, he wouldn't rise above the bullshit surrounding them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m really hoping Liverpool are still in with a chance by the last day as I’d hate for us to have to give them a guard of honour. Can we just refuse, I don’t care about sporting etiquette. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkiller1981 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I might be in a minority of 1 but I really don’t find watching Man City that interesting. Not sure if it’s the inevitability that they will pass/bore a side to death, the sole less stadium or the shit house supporters. I generally don’t bother watching the games anymore where as Liverpool I can happily watch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
