It's a shame others don't post there really.

That's a very good point well made The one time someone wants to comment on a match in the dead match day chat section, there isn't a match thread for it

Why don't you post in the matchday chat thread

I saw it the other day. Considering some badge changes have been absolute nightmares, the two options for Villa aren't all that bad. I think I prefer the rounder one.

When/what was Trippier's ban for? Apparently Toney's ban relates to when he was playing in non-league football. Whilst obviously not good and still wrong, it perhaps isn't as bad as is being made out? I can't remember when Trippier's ban was or what gambling misdemeanour he did. Was it Sturridge as well who got into some trouble for betting on a transfer, despite already knowing it was all done and dusted? Not sure if he got banned too.

When who's kids can't get on? Migrants and English families? It's quite disingenuous to say 'they blame racism' just for that. Especially considering the political climate we're in where the government wants to deport migrants to Rwanda, and it's nothing to do with the reasons you mention.

Thanks.

Are you praying you're not touching cloth at this moment in time?

James Justin and Luke Thomas it is then. World Cup is England's.

This is...odd.

'right so often'. I suppose if you thrown enough shit at the fan, some of it will stick.

Because you're very stubborn, that's why. Even when presented with facts, you choose to refute it to suit your own opinion. I'll happily be proved wrong, but I'd love for you to find other recent examples of what you claim to be true. But I think you'll struggle. Basically, you claimed something. It proved to be false. You've double-downed on it and now look like a bigger fool than before.

Gone through previous PL seasons. The following teams won 3-2 after being 2-0 down in the game. Also noted their results after the comeback victory... Man City 3-2 Aston Villa (22 May 2022) - End of season, no further games Everton 3-2 Crystal Palace (19 May 2022) Next game - lost 5-1 away at Arsenal. - Worth noting this was right at the end of the season so not much 'form' to follow... Brighton 3-2 Man City (18 May 2021) Next game - lost 2-0 away at Arsenal - also at end of the season, so 'form' limited.. Southampton 3-2 Burnley (4 April 2021) - in their next 9 games (until the end of the season), they only won 2. The immediate games after this win, they lost 3 and drew 1. - Form after the win - LLDL, or LLLDL including FA Cup. Watford 2-3 Everton (1 Feb 2020) - Form after the win - WLDLD Southampton 2-3 Wolves (18 Jan 2020) - Form after the win - LDDWW Wolves 3-2 Man City (27 Dec 2019) - Form after the win - LLDWL, or LLDDL including FA Cup. Newcastle 3-2 Everton (9 March 2019) - Form after the win - DLLWW Man Utd 3-2 Newcastle (6 Oct 2018) - Form after the win - DWWLD, or DLWWWL including Champions League Man City 2-3 Man Utd (7 April 2018) - Form after the win - LWWLD, or LWWWL including FA Cup Crystal Palace 2-3 Man Utd (5 March 2018) - Form after the win - WWWLW, or WWLWW including Champions League So, they're all the occasions in the last 5 seasons that a team has come back from 2-0 down, to then win 3-2. @Chickasaw you said it 'happens often' that form improves after a team makes that kind of comeback. So 8 occasions in the last 5 seasons (not counting the latest 3 occasions as it was end of the season). 6 of those 8 occasions saw the team lose their next game. 4 of those 8 occasions saw the team winless for the next 3 games. Are you man enough to admit you're wrong too ?

That doesn't actually prove your point though Happy to admit I got that one wrong. But I'll wait for you to show me where 'it happens often' that a team goes on a good run of form just because they recovered from 2-0 down to win 3-2.

No worries, I'm happy to wait for when you do have the time.

Go for it. Show me

I had a look to see what happened to your form when you won 3-2 at our place last season (the 2 late Bergwijn goals). You lost your next 3 league games. Have you never noticed that a period of good form normally follows after a team comes back to win 3-2 after being 2-0 down So your team with lots of pedigree, history and tradition (as if no other side has this either), didn't have a period of good form after winning 3-2 late on... Let's take another side that arguably has pedigree, history, tradition - West Ham. They beat you 3-2 after being 2-0 down in October 2017. They didn't win for another 6 games after that. Yes, I am that bored to look at results that far back .

Ah, so the parameters change depending on team(s) involved. Got it.

Bournemouth were 2-0 down to Forest, and then came back to win 3-2. They have only won one game out of 7 since then. Weird, huh.

So when it comes to Richarlison only, do you think you are vindicated when you said you were 'not sure about him'?

You've just said you weren't sure about Richarlison and you think you're vindicated by that thought.

Vindication on what? Richarlison didn't even play last night. Let's be honest here, you didn't even give him a chance from the start, and he's not even done anything that badly this season so the moment he was ever going to do one or two things wrong, you'd be straight on it. I guess being injured didn't help his cause. But you wrote him off before he even kicked a ball. Only been a few months and you think you've proved yourself right.
