[Closed] C'mon Hull....

so faro

Portug-hull?

😀

I really hope hull can pull it off, mainly to see the whining Geordies relegated.

How many more can Stoke take from the scousers? 5 in the first half!.

Liverpool are shambolic - have been for months now.

I can see a clearout there - including Rodgers!

As for Hull staying up - still a long shot.

C'mon Hull!!!! and West Ham 😉

We have let ourselves down and let Hull down. Can't wait for big fat Sam to f right off. Sorry Hull.

Liverpool tanking to avoid UEFA Cup?

look at Villa, the ****ers, hate them, 17th, so close to getting rid of them, once they fall out this league they will never be back

Are Liverpool not in the Europa League already?

Villa will get battered in the cup final - Arsenal simply too good. The honeymoon is over for Sherwood.

Are Liverpool not in the Europa League already?

ah maybe so, Chelsea winning the league cup means it gets moved to league position

no excuse then for the result

6 - 1

Does anybody know how the second set went? 😆

Yeah Stoke declared 🙂

GeordieLand Utd is staying up after winning the last match against the hammer. 😆

Not only are Liverpool in the Europa League, they'll be starting their season early with qualifying groups against teams you've never heard of in former soviet republics. 😀

Thursday night... Channel 5

Hull were always doomed today. Despite United being absolutely terrible!

I'm with dirtyrider on Villa. How much longer can a team so dire somehow manage to cling on to premiership survival. Get relegated and do a Leeds! The sooner the better!!

Why would a team like villa bother a Man Utd fan?

Maybe just the fact they have been insanely boring for the last, oh, 20 years?.

I hate Villa with a passion! As any fan of proper attacking football surely does too. At the end of every season they still squat like a festering turd at the foot of the table. Just about avoiding relegation. Again! A testament to their woeful 'style' of football, such as it is. It's like they set out, every game, to grind out another spirit-crushingly tedious nil nil draw. They recently played ten whole hours of football without scoring! Or even hinting at doing so. Ten hours!! They've no place in the premiership. Just **** off and finally get relegated. As dirtyrider accurately pointed out, they'll never make it back!

God knows what it says about the lives of their fans, that they're prepared to stump up good money to watch that crap, week in, week out

That just about sums up the attitude of a typical arrogant Manc ****

What? They we don't like hour after after hour, and season after season of spirit crushing, woefully unadventurous, utterly devoid of passion , mind-numbing tedium?

You're not wrong

Any team is at the temporary whim of their incumbent manager. The last dozen games have been some of the more exciting in the premiership, with proper attacking football. Which is only what their own fans want. To be honest, outside of the usual, billionaire owning clubs, it's much the same from most clubs in the premioership - ot's what money has done - who can go attacking the likes of manure, the bin-dippers, chelski and Arabia City?

The "ten hours" displeased their own fans, more so than anyone else. and it's only the last 4-5 years they've been at the wrong end of the prem, under dismal management and ownership, moribund of ambition. But unlike the 70-s, when the likes of Derby, Ipswich, Villa, could win the league, it's been skewed in favour of money, locked in by the imposition of fair play rules. What's happening at Villa, is only a lens into football as a whole. Frankly, what have the likes of West Ham, Stoke and Swansea (let alone Villa) actually got to play for anymore? 7th place behind the 4 usual champions league teams,and those with huge fan bases who have done little for years like Spurs, Liverpool and Everton? A cup run?

Your pathetic bleat would be better directed further up the food chain.

Hang on a minute. Have a look at a few other squads who don't have 25 million quid strikers up front ie: burnley for example, or leicester, or Swansea, or Southampton... or pretty much anybody.... who at least bother to make the effort to turn up! Did you watch Stoke today? Instead of just parking the bus and hoping they might.... maybe.....possibly... Mount the odd counter

Woeful! If Villa go down (next season please!!) they'll be down from the championship the year after

Who's got a £25m striker up front? Villa paid about £5m for Benteke, a couple of years ago, who's been out half the season anyway. I don't think if you count "goals against" there's any allegation of parking any bus.

To be honest, you're now veering off talking intelligent football conversation, into "I chose some winners when I was 7 and am better than you" nonsense.

But on your first point, what do you think Danny Ings is going to go for - do we value him on his future transfer fee, and say Burnley DO have a £10-15m striker, making your point largely invalid, or do you agree with me, his present value is that paid?

Whatever.

Up the foxes.

It's about spirit within a squad. And ambition. Something Villa have been utterly devoid of for years. The football they play is absolutely dire! But what's pitiful is the acceptance within the squad that that's the limit of their ambition

Boo hoo ... They've got more money than us. It's sooooooo not fair. So there's really no point even trying, is there?

and it's only the last 4-5 years they've been at the wrong end of the prem,

16th in 02/03
16th in 05/06

Look on the bright side though.... You'll end up with Sterling after he's warned the bench at City for a couple of seasons. 😆

That's what Villa is nowadays isn't it? Well paid semi-retirement for those who can't cut it, and fancy a quiet life? Nothing too demanding? Just last game on MOTD every Saturday?

and it's only the last 4-5 years they've been at the wrong end of the prem,
16th in 02/03
16th in 05/06

You neglect to mention;

03/04 6th
07/08 6th
08/09 6th
09/10 6th
10/11 9th

Average premier league finishing position is in the top ten, as well as villa are one of 6 clubs to be there for the duration of the PL.

Last game on MOTD?

Have you been on the pop Bin Bins?

You usually come across as a sound fella on here from the years I've (wasted time) been reading this forum.

I may have had a couple of creme de menthes. Apologies if that came across as a bit personal. Wasn't meant to be. Plus I'm a United fan, and we're all ****s 😉

I actually hope that Sherwood can do something at Villa, because it's been awful for years now. I don't know have they (you) have put up with it for that long. There seems to be a terrible culture at the club. He's a good manager, and it looks like, long term, it'd work. If he gets the backing. He's passionate. And that's what villa have been sadly lacking for a long time . Otherwise, I suspect he'll get a better offer, and who'd want the Villa job, who's any good?

Fair comments... Yes some passion which Sherwood appears to have so far, and a kick up the arse is what villa need...no chance of top 4 these days with the current set up at the club but a top ten finish is what most fans aspire to if they are realistic. We still have a cup final to look forward to...watch this space 😉

I didn't realise you were from Surrey too....

Should be interesting next weekend. Which Villa will turn up? And which Arsenal turn up? That's a joy of a cup final though.

You don't want Wilshere doing what he did today!

and some relief when I woke up this morning, didn't think the toon had 2 goals in them.
Then the nightmare news
[url= http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/32866700 ]Newcastle owner Mike Ashley said he will be staying at the club until they win a trophy or qualify for the Champions League.[/url]

I eagerly await you grabbing an injury time winner against Real, to win the champions league in 2 years time, having just pipped Chelski to the premiership next season 😀
