Villa look good, Brighton also, if Liverpool, Spurs and Chelsea do get it together next season could be a great battle for European spots.

I just mean for some the shirt pull looks worse when the intention and end result are tge same but one's a booking the other isn't and if anything the Henderson lunge is worse and more dangerous.

Henderson foul on McGinn there, if he pulls his shirt to stop the break he gets booked yet no booking because it was a "tackle".

But if he played for Palace or Leeds he'd get booked every game.

Never had a problem when at Villa, even in their version of The Strawberry, helps I've never seen us lose there. Brummie is canny as well. Only black spot is them going a bit OTT at our relegation.

He always is holding it, stretching it. Scares the life out of me every game

True.

Hope he doesn't need to play

Think Brighton.

Wasn't that when Grealish scored v Brighton to win us the Championship ?

I have posted on their years ago, not taking the piss, just correcting lies. Don't even look now that any mention of us is hidden. Edit... There does seem to be an issue there with some Mackems getting pissed off with other Mackems re behaviour etc.

Aye, I hope, all going to plan, there's no music after the final whistle on Monday. Let the crowd do it.

Re the arrogance etc, I worry we have a sizeable number who will be exactly the same. Hope I'm wrong.

The Mackems I know from work (30 yrs +) are great and non RTGers. We've always been completely ho est about our teams, often leading to debates over who's worst "nah it's us" type stuff. I check their fixtures regularly in order to swap them so they can go to games and they do likewise. They are embarrassed by RTG.

Because Liverpool fans aren't like that ?

The kids'll be OK in the room

His lass is a grass or so the song goes.

Weren't the Guler rumours that we'd met with his parents in Dubai ?

2-1 away to survive by a long margin. Then probably the 7-1 and the 5-4 up here.

If its to be done properly we'd have to drop Monaco, Liverpool and Rome as its unlikely any of them will be in that competition should we make it.

That works nicely.

Just need to change Liverpool for some other three syllable European place.

Nah. I'd only bring any retrospective stuff for violent conduct.

Why not have play off play off places where the teams in 9th to 12th play off to play the team finishing 7th or 8th who've played off against each other ? No ? You're right James, it's a fucking stupid idea.

There is one that all clubs in the division are in. Starts in August, finishes end of may, its quite egalitarian in that each club plays each other club both home and away.
