BlackandWhite

Can see it now. Last game of the season Coventry and Bristol Rovers playing one another needing a point to stay up if Sunderland lose. A fan breaks through news of Sunderland’s defeat at home to first place Accrington Stanley and Coventry and Bristol call a truce to relegate the mackems to league two.

The importance of Goalkeepers doesn't get stated enough these days. We were third bottom and possibly heading for relegation before we gave a decent goalie his debut. And Liverpool’s almost literally threw their chance of being champions of Europe away tonight. Madrid weren’t at their best by any means and it was a really even game if you don’t count the two holwers.

Said more or less the same thing about Grayson last year mind, but he's the best option they could have realistically gone with given their circumstances.

We’ll just have to agree to disagree then. My personal belief is that if you are a big club bigger standards come with that and as a fan you should be proud of those higher standards and only celebrate having those standards achieved. For Villa promotion has got to be the absolute minimum. Not qualifying for simply the chance to go up in a once off game.

Well I would agrue that there is a approiate level of celebration given the context of the victory and the size of the clubs involved. Imagine if we celebrated beating Luton in the FA cup third round like we just won the league for example. Very embarrassing and inapproiate. The Sammy thing is different as that was a blatant piss take. Villa are still a big club too and the standard have to be higher than that for them. They should be celebrating finishing 1st not qualifying for a once of game for a shot at going up.

I am okay with fans running onto the pitch celebrating when the club has actually achieved something. But a bunch of twats who haven’t bothered to show up to a game in over a year running onto a pitch to celebrate a semi-final win that could mean fuck all in just over a week is stupid.

Aye, was just about to say so glad we never embarrassed ourselves with this shite the two times we've gone up. Well there was an invasion at the Plymouth game in 2010 but difference is we had actually achieved something at the final whistle. In fairness a good number of ‘hardcore’ Villa fans stayed in the Holte and refuse to run on the pitch and where even chanting ‘where were you when we shit’ to the fair weather twats on the pitch.

Stoke approached 3 managers before Lambert in fairness didn’t they. And every one of them turned them down. They had to go with fourth choice. Was never going to end well.

If we're having to worry about relegation battles again then it's most likely that Rafa isn't here and so everyone will be going through the apathetic motions. That is it though I am not banking on Rafa being here much longer. No way does the fat cunt have the ambition to match his. A leapord doesn’t change his spots and it’s been same old same old under Ashely for the last 10 years. We’re going nowhere under him and we all know that deep down.

Fucking pathetic I have to worry about who will be the harder competitor for survival next year but that is life under Mike Ashely. Wanted Swans and Huddersfield to stay up as they will likely be similarly shite again next year but not going to happen as it stands one of them will be gone.

I’d rather spend years doddering around mid table in the premier league then go down and then have the risk of doddering around the championship in mid table every year (like Ipswich Town). When you go down there is no guarantee you fight for promotion instantly. And championship football is shite. At least when you lose 4-0 to City you at least get to watch a top class team of players strut their stuff.

Gini was a good player in home games just disappeared when playing away. Thauvin cearly didn’t want to be there from day one with us. He was more interested in his hair than playing for us. Must have saw a good contract offer and accepted it before realizing he didn’t want to play outside France.

They’ll fucking walk league one man. Really poor league. If Wigan can stroll it twice and Blackburn go up with ease top then they also can. Bolton also came back up. However they will be trapped in the lower leagues for quite a number of years now I’d imagine. They could be in danger of being a yo yo club like Wigan are staring to become.

The 'fuck off' cracks me up every time. I can feel the anger and despair in their voice. It's beautiful.

Doesn't Ramadan start during the middle of next month? The fasting could easily effect Salah's game for the end of the month and going into the world cup. An athlete at that level needs lots of energy.

Fucking scum. Typical of the two clubs. They’ve more than their fair share of those kind of people following them.

Been thinking the same watching this To be fair they’ve had a lot of dodgy ref’s decision go in their favor this season. Without that they’d be a couple of points behind Liverpool as they would deserve to be.

Sign him up. Only played a couple minutes but has already showed his way ahead of Gayle and Joselu.

They’ve been as good as down for weeks now! People on here really overestimate them at times. To say the least.

The Europa league has always been good but the champions league spot has made it even better it has that extra bit of competitive edge to it now.

Barcelona have it proudly on display on their honours list etc. That’s good enough for me. What’s is more than good enough and what the mackem can’t take is that FIFA, you know the people who run the sport and have the final say in everything related to the sport and what is what, recognize it as a major honor. That is the debate over before you could even begin it.

Always find it hilarious that after all that overspending, all those years trying to punch above their weight, all they have to show for it is 6 wins against us Pathetic.
