    Burnley v Watford on Tuesday.

    Watford vs Norwich on Friday.

    Leeds vs Newcastle Saturday.

    Two Watford wins and a home win against Newcastle pretty much settles it imo.

    But we never make it easy for ourselves. There will be ups and downs. I wouldn't be surprised if we lost to Newcastle.

    by the letter of the law, probably right. But one of those where the law is an ass. It deflected off Rodrigo’s arse while he was standing on the goal line. It was accidental. We gained no advantage as it was going in anyway and he didn’t impede any defenders. If it didn’t graze him, the goal stands.

    It was the right call. Rodrigo was on the goal line. The ball was laid back to Klich who hit the ball in the net but Rodrigo was on the goaline and it brushed his arm as it went in. He was offside.

    I think it's hard to take after last week when VAR got it wrong and it cost us. This week they got it right and it cost us. Just the season we are having.

    If I'm being super critical Rodrigo was too busy moaning at Raphinha for not passing the ball to him instead of getting the **** out of the way.

    Yeah, saw that. Said Leeds should have been forced to play midweek as they've missed two games yet West Ham have only missed one which wasn't their fault.

    What the **** doesn't realise is that Villa played in the FA Cup on Monday night and Liverpool played in the League Cup midweek. Who are we supposed to play if they are our catch up teams.

    Also they play Man Utd next Saturday at 3 o clock. Man Utd have a game on Wednesday night. Wonder if he will ring the FA and say they will play Sunday instead to give Man Utd a chance to recover?

    ****ing div!

    Jack Harrison £11 million pounds for a PL winger who can score hat-tricks...

    I think Jack has the talent. He can do everything.

    The issue I think he has is mental strength. He has openly admitted to using sports psychology to try and rectify it. This season with the signing of Dan James I think it affected him not being the first name on the team sheet. He has been in and out of the side.

    Jack (in my opinion) is one of those players who blow very much hot and cold. The key to getting the best out of him is to play him every game regardless. Once he knows he is playing every game the pressure is off and he can focus on getting some form.

    It's no surprise that he gets a scrappy goal against Burnley, has a good game and the very next game pushes on even further and scores again. Hopefully he plays the next 5 or 10 games in a row and I'm sure we will reap the rewards.

    Exactly all this

    If he keeps this form up all season or the majority of it great, if it’s 6 games out of 38 or more then not so

    All things taken into consideration that was probably our best performance & result since being promoted. Of course it could have all been taken away in the last seconds as Klick and Dallas switched off but for once the footballing gods were smiling on us.

    The red wine is in the decanter and with a nice cold beer is in hand life is pretty sweet this evening <cheers>

    Oh also watching Roma v Cagliari and wouldn't bother spunking £20M on Nandez.

    You’re putting the red wine in the wrong place, supposed to go down the throat.

    I appreciate this is not what you mean Ristac, but I now have this image of Harrison scoring 18 goals in a season and you saying "bin him" because he only scored them in 6 games :emoticon-0102-bigsm
