To be truthful, I did not watch this match outside of the last five minutes + stoppage time, so I cannot comment on this. I just turned the match on and hopped to my favourite internet football forum to see the narrative of the game. Ayew's name was mentioned and I gave the necessary response.

 

That man debuted at OM in 2008 or 9. At this point in life, I have grown to be an outwardly respectable man in society with a wife and four children. Jordan Ayew has been following me around with his rubbishness for the entirety of my adult life. I heavily dislike him. :lol:


A fair comment, as befits you.

If you're an upper Championship side, this is the year to make the big push because there's going to be 3 of Palace, Everton, Wolves, Burnley, Luton and Sheff Utd in the Premier League relegation battle.

Potentially Fulham and Bournemouth as well

Fulham definitely, I think Bournemouth have a bit of potential to stay safe for a while.

I've read this a few times but I'm still not sure of the general point you're trying to make, given the teams listed? 

 

Clubs will obviously want to get promoted if they have a genuine chance but not sure what those clubs, and they are a mixed bag, have to do with it?

Think the nut is suggesting it will be harder next season with at least 4 strong teams in the mix.

But in all likelihood it will probably be Luton and Sheff Utd plus one other and on paper those two are far weaker than Leicester, Leeds, and Southampton coming down, so I was confused, as it will probably easier to go up next season.

Because you get the likes of Norwich happy to yo-yo, probably not that arsed if they go up or not. Next year with the clubs who are going to be at the bottom of the PL, there's a very good chance to get promoted and then stay up, doubling their coin. Or a club like Sunderland who seem happy to grow organically but there's a great chance if they took a real punt this year on promotion, they could have a great chance to stay up next year.

Perhaps, but I think most people assume Luton will be out of their depth this season and are around 2/7 to go down. Sheff Utd not much better and have already lost to two sides likely to be in and around the bottom 6 and are 4/11 to drop, after that most trams are north of 2/1, so if the two more fancied teams drop then itll basically be as you were with the bulk of those mentioned still around in the bottom half in 24/25.

He loves a cup competition but I was surprised about that. I wonder if it was Luzern who came through last week, a similar level side, who were slight favourites for the tie at the bookies, whether he would have gone quite so strong, but the whole England-Scotland thing adds another dimension and they certainly won't want egg on their face.

 

I'm sure they will, but I hope Villa do come through this tie and then get to the quarters / semi's before bowing out (unless it helps with the old co-efficient for 5th) to offer some distractions later in the season, although I'm sure most of their group matches will be far lower profile than today and there will be a chance to play reserves / youngsters.
