And if we step in ?

Oh here we go. Nice foreigner going native as the game gets close.

The Brentford away game first half was similar and they could've been out of sight. We scored earlyish on and that changed it.

I'd say they are sick of the opposition cheating etc. It's OK when their team does it.

Call it something else or don't call it anything but its a fact. Look at how they are tret (treated). FWIW I think someone's missing a trick not doing a podcast that gives equal time to each game. I'm far more likely to listen to a preview of 10mins for each game as opposed to 30mins on Chelsea v Liverpool while Palace v Wolves only gets a mention if its on live and they're desperate to drum up viewing figures.

He's on Totalsport (BBC Radio Newcastle) tonight as it 'appens.

I sometimes feel a little sorry for them. Whenever we are shit they just can't pull away and we come back stronger and they go the other way and hit new depths.

Oh well, keep watching, there's another one, at least, one, coming up

There's also a question of mic placement and sound production etc. I 've been to games with shit atmospheres that have sounded decent on TV and games with great atmospheres which have sounded flat on tv.

I'd expect us to be at full strength or near to for our group games. I dont think we would need that to play Austria Vienna or Rosenborg.

How do you know the singing comes from all 4 sides of the ground ?

Is that the "men against boys.......weak as piss" one ?

Dunno like. I remember Man Utd getting years of easy draws, usually at home to the likes of Dexys Midnight Runners.

Did you not see Premier passions ? Edit....as LFEE said.

He maybe did when we had Maxi playing but when he wasn't and he and Joe held down the left hand, side they were a lot more fluid, interchanging loads to the point where you couldn't really say who was wide and who was more central. Don't expect it to happen when Barnes plays though.

Sure it's not a cough?

Did Villa play that high a line in other games this pre-season ?

I dont think he considered Joe a winger either.

When it was him and Joe on the left they dovetailed, read each other really well which made them a bugger to get close to.

I'm not keen on him either.

Is Schar doubtful ? I thought his omission from last weekend was precautionary.

Because we have the midfielder, wide forward and right back we were after.

You'd think in this day and age you'd be able to choose your own narrator, like you could change the sat nav voice.

Deserves to be megged off a toddler then.

Close. I'd have gone for Sammy Johnson's Sid the sexist. From beyond the grave obvs.
