    Just looking at the rise of Villa and how similar it is to ours; as it stands, who do you think makes the best XI? Bit of a time waster ahead of the match, I'd go with:

    Martinez (Pope)
    Trippier (Cash)
    Torres (Schar)
    Botman (Mings)
    Digne (Burn)
    Bruno (Luiz)
    McGinn (Joelinton)
    Tonali (Kamara)
    Diaby (Almiron)
    Isak (Watkins)
    Gordon (Bailey)

    What a squad that would be. That's not even included Tielemans, Ramsey, Buendia, Zaniolo. No wonder they're 3rd. And we beat them 5-1.

    Villa are going to jump ahead of Newcastle just when Newcastle thought they'd broken the glass ceiling.

    It's just our luck that they finally got going just as we did, but it's something we'll have to accept.

    Villa will also more than likely win the conference league this season and make top 4 after employing the manager that turned us down and our little foray into the champions league has helped them achieve it.

    In the long run as long as Newcastle win a pot before I die I couldn't give a **** tbh.

    Stop being a selfish prick, there's 3 months between the 2 finals and if your planning on croaking it after winning a pot that will save us about 9,000 posts roughly <laugh>

    Once we win one I will reevaluate but I get the feeling it could still be a long time away. Its hard to win one and the field is strong.

    At some point Chelsea and Manchester United will be back too.

    McGinn is not better than Joelinton ffs <laugh>

    And Villas run of fixtures has been easier especially considering they're in ECL not the UCL

    Gordon------------Watkins--------------Diaby
    ------Joelinton-----Burno-----Tonali-------
    Livramento---Botman-------Schar---------Trippier
    ------------------------Martinez------------------

    Villa going for players in January .. they don't **** about must have spent a **** load since their takeover, but for some reason FFP is never in their conversation.

    With nufc FFP is mentioned every tine the club staff open a tin of beans.

    That's sharply become their Coutinho magic money tree. Must have got a few hundred million for him.
