HanoiVillan Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Souness was alright in that sort of 'it's a breath of fresh air that he says what he's thinking' sort of way, but that was about 15 years ago. Just like Lawrenson, all he's doing these days is slowly curdling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) at least its not like the NFL which seemingly has a lot more very serious injuries however I do think the PL is a mentally weak league, you can link it to the wages and the superstardom and the marketing etc but its why I think there is so much inconsistency, its what makes it so exciting compared to other European leagues, its not surprising that the circumstances play on that that said I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, especially after 2 years of city and then Liverpool smashing everyone, if it levels it out then it could be a great year, and then when you look at how lethargic Liverpool were vs us and just how bad utd were vs spurs don't use the conditions as an excuse, call the players out even if they are darlings, these so called world class players shouldn't be slumping just because there's no crowd Edited October 7, 2020 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 When they were playing well, United in particular, they used to cite the lack of fans getting on players' back for the upturn in form. When it goes the other way, suddenly they need the fans again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Maybe this partly explains why Evra had an extra miserable day at the office when Manure lost to Spurs. Quote Patrice Evra betrays wife by secretly fathering two kids with younger woman “Sandra will be devastated. He has led a double life and betrayed her for years. Her children have a half brother and sister. It is a lot to get your head round.” https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12956026/patrice-evra-secret-children-double-life/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post a m ole Posted October 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2020 not a comment on anyone specific but something i noticed from talking heads and commentators about our game last night. there’s been a lot of chat about how bad the defending has been this season, picking out individuals and blaming managers approach to tactics. yet when two teams come up against each other and defend brilliantly as a team resulting in a cagey match they complain about it “not being one for the netruals” and the match “lacking real quality going forward”. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, even on here there were people calling it boring. I really enjoyed it. There weren't many clear opportunities, but it was a back and forth game balanced on a knife edge. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched United vs Newcastle it was dire game but sounds more exciting as 4-1 Too many goals can be a bad thing for the game as well. Last night had 4 good centre back performances and zero credit 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowandlow Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Murphy comes across as having a problem with the villa and has don efor a while. No idea why. Never played for the noses or albion or have any affinity to them AFAIK. Used to play in Liverpool teams that normally beat us. Can't work out why he rarely has a positive word to say about us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
