Villarocker Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I just hope that Villa have a minimum of 35 points before Saturday April 10th 2021 otherwise we are fooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have I missed them signing a dozen players? They're certainly tipped more than us. Baggies are 5/4 to finish above us, while they are 2/1 to finish above Leeds! I do think Leeds will stay up but I'm not sure why I think that. Seems I'm not alone though. What are the odds on Leeds going down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longer than Burnley, Palace, Newcastle, Brighton.... edit: if they go into such a compressed season with a small squad and don't start strongly.... that looks good value.

Just had a quick forecast. We'll finish on 49 points in 12th, with 13 wins. We will get to 42 by beating Fulham at home on 3rd April. It all looks good up to the end of December, with 25 points and up to the heady heights of 5th, but points are much harder to come by through the second half. So a slightly disappointing end to the season, but all we could really have hoped for at the start. Here's to 21/22 season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can try to crowbar it in but Man U V Liverpool is not a derby. It is usually a big game and can often result in a trophy being won by either of the teams but I wouldn't call it a derby more of a grudge match. Just Sky Super Sunday marketing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) At least they didn't throw Leeds vs Utd on there The build up to that will be horrific Or palace vs Brighton, the derby that no one understands Edited August 20, 2020 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Yeah I hate that branding of Manure and Liverplop as a derby; are they are trying to rewrite the history of game? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that’s quite right, how many times our fans sing about WBA? Actually I look forward to all these games and I hope it can help improving our team by having rivalry with a team that’s well run as Wolves. Anyway Sky didn’t even considered the Black Country derby itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 The Manure v Liverscum is called 'who has the most trophies in their cabinet derby'. Biggest game in England. I don't have an issue with that. We need to be trying to knock them both off their perches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robby b Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) Who's going to take our penalties next season? I just realised that we only scored one in the league in the whole of last season! (El Ghazi in injury time in our slight defeat at home to Moneybags City). Hey! Were we actually awarded any other penalties in the league apart from that one?! I can't remember any.
