Fairy In Boots

We won’t win the league, that will be City or Liverpool and it will be a 90 point tally. I think we’ll end up about 10 behind as will Arsenal and Spurs so it’s just who finishes top 4 really

December is a tough month, so many games in quick succession that you need to grind out results and we’ve hung in there arguably despite injuries and suspensions. I think we’ve done well. I think we need to have another run of 5-6 wins on the spin to get top 4 though

Yeah it is vague, I think it was more to back Ollie out of the gate. I agree it’s weird. If it’s racist abuse then they should say that, but on the flip side it could tar the whole fanbase so I get the logic of not going into detail. Headlines would just be “Watkins racially abused at Brentford” when the statement specifically says it respects the majority of Brentford fans

Ben Mee is a disgusting player

Bournemouth are one of the best teams we’ve faced this season, Dyche has got Everton firing too, it’s just the league you come against some tricky teams on their day, I’d describe neither side as dross

Souness was right about Grealish, the game has moved on from two years ago and he’s not direct enough now. Will go Saudi or Italy in the summer

That point against Bournemouth doesn’t look so bad, they’re well coached now and will do well this year.

Great result, leggy at the end but we got it done. Brentford away will be tough though

We won’t the league but definitely in the Top 4 hunt now

I’ve said many times over the years we are potentially a massive club. We’re just waiting for the spark, it’s here

V Sports which owns Villa are purchasing a significant stake in Real Union which is the club Emery owns in Spain and his Brother is president of, think City and all the restaurants he gets as sweeteners for being at City. This is the game now, United are being left way behind

I don’t mind him, it’s sweeter when we win and he has to commentate on it

I genuinely don’t think he’d go, he’s in complete control here with the keys to everything, his mission is to build us up so we can fulfil our potential. Why would you go to a situation where you don’t have complete control? He declined Newcastle because of work life balance, I don’t think money is an issue it’s a passion project for him at this point in his life

Him Archer and Ramsey are all buy back clauses, it helps with FFP as we are selling academy players so counts as pure profit

£5m but with a buy back clause

Think Everton will do a Burnley and put a run together near the end of the year

For FFP academy players are classed as pure profit so we’ve generated £160m profit in the last two years with Jack, Chuck, Ramsey & Archer which allows us to spend. Buy backs on the later two and maybe JPB if he leaves this window, it’s how City have circumvented FFP now that they have a stockpile of players. They got to that position to do this illegally but once you’re there selling academy players is within the rules

Anglo Scottish league cup would be fun at least

First time I’ve watched a BBC Scotland game and tbh it’s not a bad set up, we really need to just merge leagues and have a British League system, some big clubs in Scotland who just can’t compete with us at all, we were in 1-2 gear really

Her dad pressured her to drop the charges because Mason is the meal ticket and she has his kid. He’s always been a scumbag, we’re not talking about a good bloke wronged here. There’s loads of stories about him being a right little C word. Now it’s PR spin but in reality, it’s about money, from United perspective and hers, she gets that baby daddy money if he goes on to have a successful career hence charges dropped and United don’t want to write off an asset, if he’s not sold it will be a loan in the hope that he goes away the hate dies down and he can be sold for a decent sum. United don’t give a fuck about public opinion in reality, they haven’t since day 1, this has always been about recouping losses. the term “yesterdays chip paper” is used a lot in football with regards to negative headlines with players, they underestimated the staying power of this story.

We’ll be fine, just need 4-5 games to get new partnerships formed.

Think Mings injury two days after Buendia’s shocked our players, as you could see from Konsa mistake for the third, normally you had Mings barking at him and Pau didn’t as that’s the first time they’ve played together no shout and Isak pinches it and it’s 3-1. After that the just looked shell shocked as you would two top players gone in 48hours for the year. The game was over our heads drop as they’re distraught. They’re not like the squad of yesterday there’s so much work going into the players socialising together, families socialising, kids play together etc so they’ve taken injuries very hard. 3-1 down Newcastle are overrunning us in midfield and they just wanted to go home you could see it. 5-1 looks like we got pumped all game we were actually quite competitive in spells. the club is cursed, last year ACL first game, this year ACL first game plus Buendia in training, we are fucked squad depth in tatters

Won’t pretend I know anything about him, expect a back up GK and a Striker now, would like to see a RB to challenge cash too

It’s to do with Chris Heck, he’s new to the role and had success with the 76r’s rebrand, this was launched before he came in.

I would genuinely be surprised if we bought him, so much lazy journalism around Villa. Villa pre V sports aside from the Gerrard era yeah, we always brought tat or past their best from “top 4 clubs” always linked with their players too. Now I think we’ll raid Spain and Portugal as bargains to be had
