Vancvillan Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 1 hour ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: Football ain't straightforward, and there are NO easy games in the PL unless you are Man City. Good teams will lose to lesser teams and vice versa over the course of a season. Some teams will also lose form and look absolute tripe at times too. In my favour, i've always bene consistent with this view, regardless of Manager. Unfortunately, with Managers, players, and life in general, our views are heavily skewed by how much we like or dislike someone. This bit should be a sticky at the top of the forum. We are all so short sighted, and the blame often gets weighted by personal dislike if a player or manager. I think West Ham will finish between 6th and 9th, which shouldn't come as a shock to their fans if it is 9th in a competitive mid table. City is a free hit, and they were worth a draw vs forest. Bad day at the office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just let a bloke who cost 30m who they didn't need , didn't suit the PL when he was at Everton and didn't fit their system out on loan.. All their CBs are injured. Spent 30m on a french guy who pulled out in pre season, Craig Dawson been an amazing signing but he's missed start of season and Ogbonna been out since November but back next month. I'd hold fire until we play them in two weeks as they're usually a nightmare match up for us and will cause issues for us again. Lost their first two games in 20/21 and finished 6th.

How does that compare to Villa’s last 29 games? Gerrard been at Villa 30 games? What’s the 30 game comparison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're above them since Gerrard took over, we're be 9th on 38 points, West Ham would be 14th, below Palace and Brentford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure I read ages back there's some break clause in the Olympic stadium and was likely Sullivan would sell up around that time so that will probably be accelerated now with Gold's passing.

bobzy Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Somehow completely avoiding the sort of doom-mongering going around Everton, Southampton and Bournemouth yet are probably the biggest failure of the season so far. Big investment in the summer, to be sat in the relegation zone and only off the bottom by GD. Amazed Moyes apparently isn't under more pressure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small sample size admittedly, but had a little look at one of their forums, see how they are faring (shamelessly nosy curtain twitcher that I am). The difference between their collective state of mind and Everton supporters, it’s night and day. They’re not exactly happy with Moyes, which is unsurprising. But the threat of relegation seems to be being met with a far more nonchalant response. Edited January 14, 2023 by Mark Albrighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the chairman dying a few weeks back has probably distracted the club a little bit and maybe they are focusing on other departments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
