Liverpool will have been on the drink all week. Their season is done now. Chelsea will beat them I reckon.

Cheers mate. Thought it might take a while like. Made the mistake of getting on it a few years ago instead of the usual Arriva or Go North East buses and it must have taken a good 45 mins to get into town that day and it's well past there.

Went the other week when they played Redcar. Crowd was 700 odd I think and I got parked up easily enough obviously the road that runs past the ground but probably going to be well over double that tomorrow. For people mentioning the number 1 bus is that the same number 1 (Stagecoach) that runs down Coach Lane/Benfield Road? Half tempted to go tomorrow and I can walk along to Coach Lane in 10 mins.

The standard of the division is absolute dross nowadays. 5 seasons ago this Bristol City side would have finished bottom half.

Going to start watching some of the lower level stuff in Europe. Had a taste of it a few weeks back when we had a spare day to kill after watching PSV play on the Saturday. Flight home wasn't till the Sunday night so ended up going to watch Telstar in the 2nd Division as IJmuiden was easily accessible from Schiphol. Really enjoyed it. Tickets were €15 each and €5 for the bairn and the atmosphere was canny as well. Lower league German games are supposed to be really good games to go to so planning on doing a couple of those next season. Hopefully get over to Italy again as well.

Should be a cracker! I've really started getting into Serie A this season. Went to Milan v Atalanta over the Easter weekend and had a great time. Ended up sat just along from the Ultras which was an eye opener but a great experience. Enjoy!

Tbf all of the Play Off hopefuls have no form and are shite. They've got as good a chance of anyone in getting promoted. Whichever of the 4 come up though it's going to be a truely miserable season for them next season. Southampton were far better than all four of them.

Napoli win 2-0 v Torino to go 3 points clear of Inter with 4 games to play.

Not to 20 odd thousand they didn't. Even our reduced gates would have filled Villa Park every week. They've always had a very fickle fanbase. Extending beyond 50k for them would be very risky.

50k more than big enough for Villa. Traditionally they have a very fickle fanbase which would need to be taken into account. Just thinking back to when they got relegated the same season as us, whilst we sold out most weeks they instantly mothballed the entire top tier of one of their stands cos they knew demand would drop off a cliff, which it did. Also they haven't been always been filling 42k capacity Villa Park this season. They only got 37k at home to Brentford.

Us winning the Cup, qualifying for the Champions League, and Coventry dumping them out the Play offs. If Carlsberg did football seasons......

"Big players"

He's got all.the attributes. Still reckon Howe could turn him into a top class centre half.

Bet you're fun at parties

Many people thought it was funny. It certainly wasn't embarrassing. What's more embarrassing is getting upset about it. If you can't take the piss put of an annoying fanbase after you've spanked them 5-0 then what's the point. Did you whinge when we played Cheer up Steve Bruce after we battered the mackems 5-1 or was that OK with you?

People get upset about the weirdest of things these days like. These twats had banners out protesting our owners, the only fanbase who've done it and we've given a bit back there tonight after battering them. Just relax and enjoy it man

Absolutely superb trolling there mind hahaha

They'll be fucked anyway. If they do come up they'll have a very modest transfer budget thanks to PSR and all the accumulated loses they've made over the years, and most if that will be what they've got to pay for Le Fee. They'll be what Southampton are this season.

Noticed that but that didn't come close to accounting for the amount of empty seats near to the segregation banner, the opposite side next to the scoreboard, and also the entire length of the back of their section. No way was there any more than 2.5k in there, probably nearer 2k.

Couldn't believe the amount of empty spaces in their end yesterday. Don't remember ever seeing that before. Fair enough they've just had a midweek trip to France but that turnout for a club of their size was pitiful. Maybe 2.5k there at best, probably a bit less. Should move the segregation divide along next season to reduce their allocation and allow more home fans in.

Was one point yesterday on around the 85th minute mark, I looked up at the pretty empty Man Utd end, those who remained singing defiantly in support of their team, whilst the home fans, still basking in our recent trophy win, sat back waiting for the final whistle to sound on what was a very routine victory and it hit me how the roles of the 2 clubs have been totally reversed. Lost count of the amount of times I've been to Old Trafford, singing my heart out as the clocked ticked towards full time of another defeat there and yesterday that was them. We are the winners, they were the gallant losers making up the numbers. Only real difference is at least we tended to stay until the final whistle went.

I'm being serious here!

Wish they wouldn't give him these cameo roles. Like finishing the game a man down. He can't move.

You got away with 4-1 today. Should have been more. Sad to see your away end completely disappear save for 800 or so hardy souls for the last 10/15 mins as well.

He's going to take over Beardsley as our best ever at this rate.
