Also i suppose an inexperienced manager as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilbertoAVFC Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) https://www.theplayerstribune.com/posts/aaron-ramsdale-premier-league-arsenal-soccer-england Thoroughly enjoyed this article. Think a few of our lot could learn a thing or two about how the players see us when they get abused: "Yeah, you had a few idiots on the Internet chatting shit. Who cares? The real supporters have your back." So many sad parts of the article that really show how footballers are just not the robots people want them to be.

jjaacckk91 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 So piece on sky sports 2 pundits had us as their picks for overachievers for this premier league season. Absolutely no one had us in their top 5... How can we be the biggest overachievers of the season and finish where did last year? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvonVillain Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Bold prediction from Dion Dublin, who thinks we have 'every chance of finishing top 8 this season, if we continue on the way we're going'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May-Z Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Pat Nevin after the match Villa won't be in any danger, they'll probably finish top half again. What. A. clearing in the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I find the Newcastle love-in among the media types very weird. Brentford and Brighton I totally get, but Newcastle are objectively neither underdogs nor particularly likeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It a valid comment As shit as the result was, I'm not accepting 'probably finish top half' as a valid commentary on where we're at, at the minute...just in the same way I'm not having the 'Newcastle are going to push City all the way' nonsense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren’t likeable, but the media hark back to the Keegan days and think they are still everyone’s second club (not that ever were) Edited August 13, 2023 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) Sturidge is now a regular pundit on sky, cringeworthy as usual from him started to sing some usher song, bad enough we have Karen Carney in the studio tomorrow for monday night football, that will be switched on just before ko https://x.com/skysportspl/status/1690798971386580992?s=46&t=s_7OtdZds_V67j7otBzxig Edited August 13, 2023 by rbcuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan95 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Seeing a few comments in threads, I'm kinda surprised how many people still watch Sky sports news. Like 10-15 years ago it was the best way of getting transfer news and stuff but seems kind of pointless now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
