My mate who's season ticket is next to mine is still a member there. On the other hand, I'd love to see them relegated so we could go next year. will the new ground be ready then?

spudski Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 Wes Burns goal today is stunning. Ipswich look a team totally drilled and so relaxed doing it, knowing exactly where everyone is. Manager is doing a great job there imo. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 Not many players leave city downwards and end up ahead of us. Fair play to Wes Burns for doing so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blokes a nasty, dirty, fouling carthorse who was always going to get found out by VAR. On this occasion he was actually “saved” by VAR… could have been straight red for the first one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Rich Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 Anyone watching the villa game? Just saw the score and then looked at the stats! Look like they are battering Man City. Anyone watching able to confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 Good old Aston Villa. I still recall their FFP dodginess in 2019 and their 2020 outrageous goal line fortune during Covid. They'd be nowhere near it now if so, some clubs are born spawny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most arrogant bell-end fans on the planet IMO. To think Watford Sacked Nige, then self imploded and gifted survival to Villa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would've had a greater chance though. Was Man City at home and Arsenal away. Albeit behind closed doors and Arsenal did have the FA Cup final coming up. Aston Villa beat them after all a few days before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 Almost sticks in my throat saying Villa deserved that. Not seen anyone dominate a long spell against Man City and create chances like Villa did tonight. Their keeper was there when needed. Saw some of the Brighton game , that was good too . Enjoy watching Brentford and Brighton when they're on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-S-M Seagull Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 Very impressed with Villa this season. As long as they don't get distracted by Europe then I'd say they are more likely to get top 4 than Newcastle.

I was just about to say, I'm not sure after the points they dropped lately. I know they normally come good later on, but assumed they would be behind their points from last year. Not too far it seems, table has a similar look to last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was impressed with Liverpool and Arsenal both won really tight games with Arsenal nicking the winner in added time and Liverpool finally seeing off the Blades also in added time. The Premier League is really open this season - it’s difficult to call who’ll win in tho. Any of the current top 8 are all in with a shout.

Abraham Romanovich Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 Anyone hear Colin Murray last night talking about Forest and what a good job Steve Cooper had done with a virtual team rebuild every season . He then went on to say some teams whatever they do seem destined to remain in the championship, citing Stoke and Bristol City as prime examples. Harsh but fair ?

Stoke have been in the Prem so that just leaves us. Which makes it sooooo freaking frustrating that we seemed to be making progress only to have the Pearson project derailed and restarted by a coaching team that have it all to prove.
