Kilcline Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 "This is one of the best places to come as an away fan" - fair enough it's a proper stadium, but the words of a commentator who has never been in the peeve-free away end upper there or not been able to get in a boozer within a reasonable distance on an away day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, we've just come out of a prolonged bout of awful form where we put together a run of truly dreadful results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFC91 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) 4 minutes ago, The Prophet said: They struggled with the CL schedule last year mind. Difference is they're more proactive in the transfer market. They finished 6th, just behind us so they certainly didn't struggle. Edited May 15 by NUFC91 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, if we had Europa, Osula would have bagged at least six in that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuy_O Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Yeh but they finished 6th even with a deep CL run last season. They without doubt handle the extra games better than we do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Even if Villa win at the Etihad on the final day, they can't top last season's total of 66 points, when they finished 6th. It also would have only been good enough for 6th the two years prior to that. Mad how much the table has leveled out this season. Can only be a good thing.

Got to the CL quarter final, missed out on qualification for CL on goal difference on the last day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how they've done that. Probably by letting the ball do the work. Liverpool scored two headers with their tall centre back, but got pissed on on the deck.

The College Dropout Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Villa got more points last season while in the CL. They were a better team last year imo. Marmadash has looked ropey whenever I’ve seen him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were no where near until their January business came good. Hence the second part of my point, Asensio and Rashford gave them momentum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Cardigan Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 You have to hand it Emery. Finishing a mile ahead of us, whilst singing absolutely no one of note and elevating formerly average players to sky high levels at times. In any one else’s hands that summer window and missing the CL last season was an era defining disaster, but not his. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucasol Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Arnold Slop must be twitching about keeping his job. Looks a mess of a team for all the hundreds of millions he’s spent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
