I envy both of you fuckers

There's a lot of truth to this, we have a lot of potential to improve and push on. The trick is convincing him that we will, and part of that is investing in the right players in the summer. As far as I can tell it's not the team he's got no faith in, it's the chairman allowing the potential to be fulfilled that he doesn't have faith in. And who can blame him? I know, that's what I meant. We need to demonstrate we can at least build on our current position by bringing in the right players. Fair play, mate. I mainly read EastEndGeordie's post and skimmed your response tbh

Has Enrique said that the club is beneath him? If your told your lass 'I aspire to more' than her, you think you'd have a head left on your body? How can you compare telling your lass you hope to trade up the same as a footballer saying he wants to play for a team in Europe?

Can't see a single positive to dropping him other than giving a youngster a chance. Which just isn't enough tbh.

Nice result there, man. Fuck it, I've decided I'm no longer taking this shit seriously, £1 on an accy each time and that's it. Basel, PSV, CSKA, Sporting, Sevilla, Liverpool, Zenit. Returns £440

Nine fucking years. Unreal. I wouldn't be surprised to see Mourinho pull a surprise retirement, claiming he's achieved all he wanted to, and Ferguson will still be leading pissing Man Utd out.

Who'd have thought that our first season back in the Premiership, we're talking about having to get Europe just to keep players happy and content! Just seems crazy.

This. A player like Jose isn't going to turn his nose up at Villa right now. It'll be a shame to see him go, and it's only really hitting me now, as I've kept positive about keeping him until now. But those quotes have forced me to accept he'll be leaving in the near future, unless Ashley makes a BIG play to prove we're going places. Which I'm just not confident he'll do.

I can't say I ever was truly taken in by him. He was good for us in that first season, very impressed with him. But can't say I was majorly disappointed with him leaving. Was just one of those things.

What an insane season this has been. Could we have wished for a better season to bounce back to the PL, though? So many teams underachieving, so all over place, and if we can grasp the chance by beating the expected teams to Europe, it would be amazing.

seriously, you fucking cunt. was avoiding the score so i could watch it straight after. seriously, idiot. urgh get out - ban him - urgh 2-0 now.

If we manage to hold on tonight, there'd only be 2 points between us. They're probably preparing their sack Bruce rants.

Fucking TV keeps cutting out

YES JONAS AND LOVEN! Jose looking as good as Saturday too.

Draw HT Newcastle FT Best, Aduriz, Ibrahimovic to score Valencia, Watford, Charlton, Peterborough, Gateshead 5 fold I'm back bitchezzzzz! Until I realise I'm shit at this lark and fuck back off out of this thread.

Unlucky bud.

What in fucking fuck's name is a 'quarterback' in football??? Getting really pissed off with hearing this more and more at the moment.

Merson's 'never seen a game like it'. Stelling jumps in: Apart from last week

It's better than last week when you could build a drinking game around the mutterings of how our best chance of getting back into the game were from set pieces from the Sky commentators, like every 5 minutes, man.

I want to say bring Kuqi on, just to see if he can make a difference to our conversion. But he'd be more of a replacement for Best as a target man, I'd assume? Rather than a replacement for Loven? Not that I know much of Kuqi, and not that I'm watching the game.

Fuck sake. Kamara bigging Jose up as capable to play for the top teams on SSN Would you shut the fuck up so we can keep him!?

Came in just to say that. He's having a right go. Whinging like fuck, no matter who's played today and how well they played, the whole talk of course is going to be that goal. I love how he goes 'a goal's a goal, that's what matters', because they said Man City's was a strange goal. But then he goes on that it took a spectacular goal to beat them, I didn't think it mattered how they were scored, mate?

Shiiiiiit.

Match receipts went up £1.5 million the season we signed Owen, that was mainly, if not totally down to playing 3 games more than the season before. Sponsorship went up by £100,000 at a time when we had those extra games and TV money was down £6 million. Branded product sales which will include replica shirt sales was down £400,000. Burn.
