I very quickly stopped listening to the guardian podcast after starting because of his smugness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamford does love a good roll around on the ground, he tries to get away with things every game and he's pretty shit at it too, I'm not here defending him but to say that was a stamp is stretching. So, Bamford, yes - exactly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing. For the record, I'd much prefer to have biesla than a Steve Bruce. I'd much rather watch a team that wants to attack and play football. I have a lot of respect for the way he handled the game against us a few years back. If we didn't have Smith, I'd like a similar type of manager to Biesla. I just can't stand Leeds and think the hype is ridiculous though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 They kind of remind me of Blackpool when they were promoted under Holloway, they had a similar attacking approach, looking at their first fourteen games they actually had more points than Leeds have now, but like Leeds also had some heavy defeats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 They lost that game 6-0, Walcott scored an hat-trick. In the end you could say they were unlucky to go down as finished on 39 points, which I think is normally enough to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamford intentionally stood on Mings, then dived on the floor and rolled about holding his ankle as if he had been kicked or stamped on, It’s quite obvious he intentionally steps on him to initiate contact and then dives, particularly in the slow at the end. It’s right here. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/jgvmem/mings_pulls_bamford_by_the_shirt_no_card_given/ There are numerous other examples of Bamford cheating including in the game against us in the Championship. Mings didn’t stamp on the Reading player intentionally as was quite obvious by his immediate reaction to the guys injury. The first incident with Mings I do think was intentional.

VillaChris Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Blackpool were ridiculously entertaining that season, I think because of how they've declined they tend to be one of those teams people forget ever played in premier league but they had loads of entertaining games and results that season. I know Holloway is seen as a bit of a joke figure on here and he made some comments about us after that game when he put a second string team out but him keeping them up would've been one of the all time great achievements imo and he was just a point from doing it. 39 points was highest to go down since 2002/03 and no team has gone down on that in the seasons since. For most of that season they ran with a strikeforce of Luke Varney, Gary Taylor Fletcher and DJ Campbell. Campbell scored 13 prem goals that year! Also had Harewood knocking around and he of course scored past us at Villa Park. Their big money January signing to keep them up was a past it James Beattie. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Small Heath were also relegated that season on 39 points, something that some of their fans are very bitter about, the fact that they went down with one of the highest point totals of a relegated club and haven't recovered since, whereas last season we managed to survive with one of the lowest ever point totals. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love us to play 2-2-6 Phillips sat in the middle, Klich run about next to him while he does his best Charlie Adam impression and we'll ride the carnage to safety. See if we can pry Jermain Defoe from Rangers. Edited December 22, 2020 by Rino8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They totally collapsed after fluking the league cup, think they were in comfortable mid table position even in March but won 2 of their last 12 games. Of course being McLeish they had 15 draws. Blackpool position mid season was incredible one to get relegated from. They had 25 points after just 17 games played and still went down: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/9317216.stm 10/11 season pretty similar to this one given how tight it was in mid table.

I just hope he gets a severe ban and learns his lesson before he ends someone's career. Yeah he's going to end someone's career by *checks notes* pulling them up by their shirt.
