I'm sure the commentator has just said, regarding Salah, "what a fabulous fabulous showing from this fabulous player". I honestly never saw this fabulous display.

Just being polite.

Truth be told, they've been rubbish.

Thank you.

You must be mistaken. Emery is taking his team above us, Arsenal and Man City. He's brilliant don't you know?

Where is your local? If you don't mind me asking.

Can't possibly be a defeat for Villa, Uni Emery is a genius don't you know?

Should have been 10-1. Don't be silly.

Which neither are going to happen. Both draws in my opinion.

We will get a MINIMUM of 7 points.

No. Keep them well away from the Premier league.

Sober again. I think that's the way forward. Never lost a game when I've been off the sauce.

I've said this for about two years. He loves an acrobatic tip of the ball over the bar, springing to his feet and screaming like a banshee because he thought it looked great. Pope would just casually jump four inches and catch the feckin ball.

Eh?

I'm at home mate (sober ..... ish).

Eh?

You are absolutely bang on. Play one of the work horses, not all of them. I agree with Rice by the way, I would love him here. However, after the fa semi I've just watched, I must say that Caceido is some player.

This lad will play for England. We probably need a competent manager for this to happen because Southgate is useless. If every English player was fit then I swear Southgate would play Rice, Henderson and Philips in midfield. He loves hard working robots rather than class.

Yes he was awful today. However whisper it as he is a god on this forum. It was Gordon's fault!

Why? Because we were beaten?

Every time, and I mean every time a Villa player lost the touch of the ball they would fall over and get a free kick. Every 50/50 tangle/cuddle Villa got a free kick. Every time the Villa player was approached by the opposition they fell over and got a free kick. That referee was feckin awful.

Basically I'm repeating what 99% of fans on here think and that is Bruce was fecking shite.

I've had this argument loads of times with friends. It's all about perspective. Off the top of my head we are probably talking about footballers like Alan Shoulder, Glen Keeley etc during those periods. Bruce took over a Rafa team, although not brilliant individuals, were playing to a system where everyone knew their roles in the team. The team Bruce took over were more than competent and indeed very competitive. He totally obliterated that well oiled machine and I can't believe I'm writing this and haven't said fecking once.

In my opinion he's the worst manager I have seen at Newcastle so that makes him shit! From being tactically pathetic and literally no idea how to implement certain players in their correct positions to his absolutely disgraceful dialogue with the press/media and him constantly bigging up the opposition no matter who we were playing. Well I am staggered how any sensible football fan can defend the useless knacker.

Me and the wife did exactly the same. 30 years as season ticket holders. When Rafa walked we walked but literally sprinted away when Bruce was appointed.
