Great thread. Just a pity you let the likes of Chippy post on it. Brings the standard down to irremediable.
They're trash and we genuinely are looking like a decent outfit (not just based from today) so chances are we'll draw. Lack of a crowd will help them as our fans would have been up for being all over them but at least we get saved from the "who's going to save you this time" banners we'd have waved as they inevitably won. Heart: 3-0 Head 1-1
Once our takeover is confirmed and they get relegated it really is karma served with extra... I hate villa..... fancy a win they're ****e
Agree with @the #Cans Master - takeover announcement on the day followed immediately by an announcement that Rafa is re-appointed with immediate effect. Dour 0-0 defensive performance with 10 men behind the ball, even during the half-time interval. Crowd noises replaced with a dull moaning sound in the 2nd half to try and authenticate the atmosphere during a normal Rafa home game.
Good call, I fancy Tommy Gibb to put Grealish in his back pocket and Jackie Sinclair to tear them a new one down that right wing.
This is a big one strangely. I think we'd all like to see us smash up their side and deepen their struggle. If the takeover goes through, I'd imagine that Grealish would be exactly the type who could arrive. He'll have some form of release clause no doubt. It would be ideal to contribute to their downfall, then feast on the remains. 3-0 win. Joelinton (hit him on the arse and flew in top corner), Shelvey, Almiron Grealish sent off. Offensive hair.
3-0 to us Joelinton hat trick The boy is clearly on fire now, the Maradona meets Zidane meets Gazza skills of his goal vs Boro, coupled with his poacher finishing vs the Blades that Linekar would be proud of. ... He's clearly upstoppable right now.
Bruce is going to rest our best players for the city game.... if he does Villa will get something then we will lose to city anyway , but it's what he has to do really...
