We are there in the mix for sure. Although I wanted us to stay in either comp no Europe will be a help when it comes to the league. I think we are easily 6th at least. Villa don't look like they are going to go away at the moment.

And they would be winning the League if they had won every game of the season.
Villa's benefit is they can play a rubbish team on a Thursday because it's a crap tournament and will still progress!
They also benefitted from recruiting first team starters in the Summer to ensure they didn't miss Mings when he got injured, and to then have PL-class options on either wing, and also used free transfers when recruiting from Leicester instead of paying £40m for a winger they didn't need, and got in loans who are actually capable of playing PL football unlike the loan of Lewis Hall. It's really not hard to see why they're doing well and why we should be doing better.

Every year there looks to be brilliant free contract players and we never seem to go for them, I know they cost more in bonuses due to no transfer fee but surely you're still better off
Had the potential for North East/North Yorkshire match and the merseyside derby
Hmmm not fixed to ensure it’s Liverpool v Chelsea. Two failures of last season but to boost the cup viewing figures.Had the potential for North East/North Yorkshire match and the merseyside derby
Cant really have **** teams can we.
Would have been NUFC V BORO and LIVERPOOL V EVERTON - 2 canny semi finals for the TV company
I like watching Villa. It's like watching what we could have been.
But does he "**** you" us or Arsenal more if Villa win the league?
All we need is 3 league titles, 1 FA Cup, 5 league cups, 1 European Cup and 1 super cup and we'll be just like them.
We're not in their league. We're miserable mudfuckers.
I'm speaking as a mudfuckers anonymous founder member.
Erm, it's not quite so anonymous now you've just gone and told us that you founded it.
