That’s how I feel. We as fans also need to take a similar view to Howe. 1 game at a time and don’t overreact if we lose a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I think if they get carried away with that last result and try and be too attacking they will play to our strengths. Will be a tough game though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect us to win this game but if we don’t, we don’t and there’s no need to overreact. I feel we can win every game now but if we do happen to lose, we move on to the next one and I’ll still feel we will win that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I like playing Joelinton as a left side forward. I’d keep him there until ASM returns. Dominated the midfield with Willock, Longstaff, and Bruno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) Detest some of their fans, somehow they've managed to create this imaginary rivalry a bit like the Scouse Mackems have. The Brummie Mackems! The ridiculous shite I read from some of their fan base on Twitter is painful, I can only hope we absolutely smash them.

Stottie Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Under Gerrard, Villa away this season were P6 W0 D2 L4 F3 A11 GD -8 Pts 2, but the slate is now clean, I suppose. Most of the Villa hate goes back to that guy with the bantz banners when we got relegated, doesn't it? If this all-conquering NUFC 2.0 were to relegate someone, say Wolves or Everton, I hope none of our fans would take a gloaty banner because that's tinpot. Unless the team being relegated is Liverpool or Man U that is, in which case you can fill the whole stadium with gloaty banners, preferably some written in Swedish or whatever foreign languages their gloryhunting fans speak.

Ikon Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) Maybe been mentioned before by someone, but i like the idea of us pressing Mings as he's very prone to simple mistakes and not that great on the ball.

Chicken Dancer Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 4 hours ago, Stottie said: I hope none of our fans would take a gloaty banner because that's tinpot To my knowledge we've relegated Cardiff (2014) and Burnley (2022) and no banners either time. I suppose the argument for Villa fans was that we're a much bigger club that the 2 mentioned, and had the likes of Owen, Viduka, Duff & Butt whilst having Shearer as manager. The entire country wanted us to go down that day - you can see Man Utd fans at Hull celebrating like mad too (no banners mind). It was a huge story at the time, but Villa definitely did go OTT for sure. I must say, I feel like we've more than evened the scores since. We thumped them 6-0, tend to beat them at St James. Beat them at Villa Park a couple of times, and they technically did win us the Championship in 2017. As the above has touched on, Twitter fans are no representation really, given ours is tragic, and I find Everton a lot worse than Villa. I do hope we smash them though - like any team!

Holloway Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 not every result is going to go our way of course, but there's no reason to believe this one wont.

Bimpy474 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Other clubs hate us because of the media making up, and then repeating the bollocks that we think we should be in the top 4. That and under KK the praise for our football and the everyone's second favourite club tag didn't help, it bore ill will towards us that still lingers today. Couldn't care less what any other clubs fan thinks, their anger, resentment and jealousy doesn't change us, it just drives them mad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
