Villa have been so pedestrian. Looks like a training practice match for them. Lucky they haven't been hammered so far. Was expecting more tbh

Who do you want to finish 4th in the Premier League?

Yep. I hate Liverpool as well mind, and I despise Redknapp. But any of those over Villa. Have we relegated anyone recently at SJP? Cant think of any in recent memory -

Just a bit. people constantly changing usernames gets on my tits. Just a bit -
In what way? I was merely making a jocular remark based upon the apparent connection with supporting Newcastle United. Apparently. You should be on tv with wit like that. You too, clearly. New Ant & Dec tbh.

Wayne Routledge signs 3 year deal with Swansea

Why? Who would you rather??? Glazers?? Munto finance??? Hicks?? Welcome to the real world - we aren't ever going to get bought out by a billionaire! It could be so much worse We did and the fat c*** took us down. Yeah it could be worse. If we were in League 2 it could still be worse and some people would still say Mike Ashley was doing a great job. don't even understand this post??? Of course it could be worse but it is'nt mistakes were made and now we are probably going to be in the prem again next year - without all the deadwood but with younger fresher players. Long term being relegated could be good thing. Its all about enjoying the game and I'm enjoying it more this season than last. What do you think our chance of survival is? I think we'll struggle to match Derby's points total. That's a bit pessamistic - whats that 20 points??? I'll bet with our best team out and a full house we would comfortably be well out relegation places this year. I honestly think now we have a better team than Hull, Wolves, Portsmouth, West Ham, Stoke, Burnley and Blackburn. And if we don't - playing with two quick wingers is at least entertaining! Don't know you, but surely you can't write us before we are even there?? I think you're living in a dream world if you think we have a better side now than all those sides do. We were worse and less effective than them when we had the likes of Given, Beye, Bassong, Martins, Owen, Viduka at our disposal so how are we somehow better off as a squad now? Midfield is the most important area of a team and the likes of Smith, Butt and Nolan are struggling to cut it at Championship level and they will again be expected to keep us up, even most of our best players have not proven themselves as Premiership players, indeed have struggled at that level - Coloccini, Gutierrez, Routledge, Taylor. I'm enjoying being top too but if that's all that matters, why don't we just deliberately get ourselves relegated from the Championship, we'll have a whale of a time in League 1. It will take massive investment (for massive investment read: the amount of money a club of our size should have at its disposal) to have a hope of Premiership survival and Mike Ashley's penny pinching won't give us that. Yes I'd rather be in our position than Middlesbrough's but nevertheless he has decimated the club and the current league position papers over that. He took on a Premiership club and currently has on his hands a club that doesn't have a hope of surviving in that league. The argument about how Ashley has fucked us in the ass keeps getting churned out over and over regardless of our current league position. I certainly don't disagree. All the lad's saying though is that it's a new start for us as a club, and it's going alright so far. Why can't we pull ourselves together and enjoy some positivity for a change? Negativity never got anyone anywhere. Let's wait till we get promoted and worry about that then. -

themanupstairs replied to clintdempsey's topic in Football
oh no it wasn't. like many others i've been worried by the performances all season and think if we kept on playing like that promotion would be a struggle. at least the last couple of home performances have seen an improvement but i struggle to see how anyone could say they'veenjoyed the football in general this season. Spot on. The football has been shit bar 3 or 4 games. People are enjoying the results. Sorry. Actually meant to quote maddy there -
Not that anyone gives a rat's ass, but Reading are 3-1 up. Simon Church scores again

That Reading lad Church has got another one tonight. Anyone reckon he's handy? I liked his style watching him against West Brom
