Get the fatha for the NE sweep. He's got Sheffield, Birmingham and just needs to ruin Boro for the full set. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) Nowt against Carrick. Plenty against the cabbage patch kid. Typical melancholic Boro. Edited October 17, 2022 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Villa fans seem to think Emery will be the number one contender for their job. Can’t lie I really wanted him as number one choice after Bruce and was gutted when he turned us down. However his football is terrible to watch and long term he wouldn’t have been a great fit.

gbandit Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 It’s not even in doubt anymore. They’re a world apart. I don’t like Lampard but he had his players giving it their all at the back end of last season even though they were really poor. He’s managed to make them solid and their home form has been good. Gerrard has thrown his players under the bus again and again, his team has no identity, his players are clearly not playing for him and they look really poorly coached. I wouldn’t enjoy playing under an absolute wanker and the villa players clearly aren’t enjoying it either. Long may it continue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be a half decent move for him. They seem to have a fair bit going for them - rich / ambitious owners, some good players, a good academy with some decent young players coming through, ground redevelopments plans. Whatever you think of it, it's in one of the UK's most major cities, and they are historically a big club. It seems like the manager is currently the main thing holding them back (internally), and they should be doing a lot better than they are. Externally, we are a big snag, because we'll both want similar things, just ours is on a much bigger scale, and more realistic. Villa would probably be hoping to replicate the Leicester of the past few seasons, gatecrash the top 6 if one or two of them underperform, and maybe snatch a cup, but our emergence will make that a lot harder for them as it's another club who will be expected to finish above them season on season, and they'd need to get a lot right for that not to happen, but it is still a good job in the so called best league in the world.

Paullow Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Tough one regarding Carrick and young Bruce. I don't mind Boro, would like to see them back in the top flight at some point, especially as we continue to push on, and as a local lad, I'd like to see him do well. However, if Alex is involved then that will make it tougher to wish them well. That said, I guess Alex has no real direct links with Newcastle, and if you didn't follow social media, and his Twitter outbursts, then I guess he would be largely irrelevant, and at least it's not his father rumoured to be joining them (well yet anyway...)

Paullow Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Gerrard's a strange one. They paid £4m to prise him away from Rangers, so they obviously saw something in him, and he's been there less than a year. His league record, purely results-wise, isn't great by any means, but it's not totally abysmal, P37 W12 D8 L17, so 44 points. They're just a point off Everton and Palace, and 2 off West Ham, and I doubt any of those would be considering a managerial change any time soon, and a win in midweek and they could be in midtable. I totally get the no identity, throwing players under the bus, and they should be doing better, and from the outside you do feel that a new manger coming in will instantly have them playing and faring better, and that's ultimately what you want, so you couldn't blame the owners, and I suspect he will be gone soon, but at the same time, they did fork out a lot of money for a then 41 year old manager just starting out, and while Villa fans will argue it's far too long, 11 months isn't a massive amount of time to properly put your stamp on things. It'll be interesting to see what Gerrard does next if he does get the bullet soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a PFM idiot, all the platitudes and no clue. Speaking of league 2, looks like Harrogate have run out of steam, and the chairman needs to decide to sack his son or let him take them down.

Seems the managers like hoofing it at 5ft 6 strikers instead though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
