Eze with a wanker’s penalty

Yes! Hahahah

They never have the bollocks to say no once it’s an ‘onfield review’. Still Pope to blame for it

Absolute disgrace that decision. It fucking took them long enough

How the fuck is that requiring a review? His left hand is by his side

It’s been a while since the last Pope brain fart

Murphy is better than Tonali

Nowt to disagree about - funding youth academies etc are FFP exempt

Yep - and FFP is liable to limit Villa’s future opportunities re crazy sales prices

FFP isn’t impacted by stadium building nor by investing in youth, and we can inflate our sponsorship to the maximum level possible. Villa can’t do all of this.

I wonder how we’d do under the new format, which I think had a lot to do with Villa’s progress

It was also the finest moment in the best UK comedy series since Peep Show - Sunlun til I die - watching them trying to make it into a derby, and adding the daft dramatic music over the top. Fuck it, I’m going to watch it again tonight 😁

That has to be the lowest point in their history, regardless of what successes we enjoy. It was absolutely embarrassing that it occurred (and hilarious in equal measure)

It’s not a three year cycle anymore … edit: you also don’t get to choose which year to put it in. It’ll go in this season’s.

That’s not going to cover that sort of spend tbf

Goes into this year’s books

champion, looking forward to that £40m sale then

Who are we selling to bring that lot in?

I won't rest until his medical records are made public tbh

I do admire though that you held your anger in at the erroneous use of capital and lower-case letters

He's a low-effort player who is a dressing room nightmare by all accounts - we'll stay well clear of him. The 'no dickheads' policy will make sure of that - there is nothing about the lad that suggests that he'd be a Howe signing.

None that view themselves as one of England’s biggest clubs, certainly

They're still England's biggest club - they're going to get coverage. We got large amounts of coverage even when we were at our shittest, oversized compared to our league performances.

Villa and Forest. It won't make that significant a dent to Chelsea's income relative to us.

They really are a petty, spiteful and thick as fuck bunch, aren’t they? Note to the Mackems - no of times we’ve finished 5th or above in the PL era = 8 No of times we’ve got a CL qualifying place = 4 No of open top bus parades as a result = 0 Pointless doing that for the Mackems, given that it is 70 years ago that they last managed to finish top five …
