Could be worse. Shudder.

He's concerned his relevance will drop off quickly. This could well be his last crack at the PL. Its kinda the opposite of backing yourself. Obscurity awaits.

Didn't make enough contact. Didn't injure the opponent. The opponent didn't role on the ground writhing in agony until required coloured card produced. It's all so subjected. What was once just a ref, is now a few peoples opinion, and its so unpredictable. I still hate var, it has added such a tiny amount to the infractions, that I'd be happy if they pulled it overnight.

There's many reasons to dislike Spurs, but the Forecast deal real is net level shit. I can just imagine them all high fiving and popping corks as soon as the paperwork was signed. Someone on our staff was either on drugs or took a massive back hander. We gave up 25% sell on clause of Bale for that chump. WTF

Has this ever happened before? Being sacked, and then getting another job in time to face the same team? I think we might just have won another stat. Go Saints.

I bet the Palace fans are full of regret! 😁

That would be hilarious. But in all seriousness, I think he'd be a better fit for their long term. I do think they have made a big mistake sacking Farke though, I assumed they had someone 'great' lined up already. This is just a mess now, after their best performance of the season. Bizarre.

James got a fair bit of criticism for the red he received at Chelsea, so I thought it would be worth mentioning on his thread that he won a robust 50/50 in the Villa game to set up AA's goal. His competitive nature is a credit to his game. What's more important is competent referee's at this level. Don't ever change.

Absolutely incredible just how our youngsters are doing. Having a mate who's a big fan of Villa, I've had many a update on the investment they have put into the U23's and below over the last couple of years. They have spent some serious money. They do seem to have a actual plan. So after years of watching us pillage and regress our youth system, its an actual joy watching us add Small and the like to it and being rather bloody good. Well done the hierarchy, this might well be your saving grace.

The Liverpool fans seem more excited than the Villians! 😁

It's quite astonishing considering the second half against Everton.

The two 9's were extraordinary games. The red cards played a massive part. We still would have lost both, but the games wouldn't have been as disgustingly bad. I don't blame Ralph for the historic nature of those two games. But he does shoulder the blame for quite a lot of other defeats. The thing that has carried him through is, he does seem to learn from things.....................although sometimes frustratingly slowly. We wouldn't find someone better though, so lets pause that for a while yet.

I'll leave my prediction until I see who they put in charge. But I have to say, I feel sorry for Farke. The new guy might get them more organised, but he won't suddenly get 20% more effort.

You are fairly delusional though, it's hard to ignore. You dig me out every time. Not once have I called you out. Trawl through the posts and you'll see I'm right. I don't mind though. I've been round long enough to use the platform as something fun, something others haven't managed to do. And Wolves were awful, we didn't outplay them, they were totally inept. That game was dreadful. Pretend we lost one nil because we were unlucky if you wish, but we were so below par/substandard that day. Okay, it wasn't a red card v's Utd or Fox, but in my mind we were worse that day with how clueless we were from top to bottom of every decision. Has everyone blanked that performance out? Please, do a revisit the SOU-WW thread, read back the thread and post your thoughts.......I'm intrigued to hear opinions. I

Blimey, you got all that from a smiley? You seem to suffer from some form of paranoid delusion. I'd offer some advice, but I'm just random guy typing (3 times a day) on a football forum. Chill mate, it's really not as serious as you think it is.

Wolves were gash that day, one bit of quality won it for them. But don't you look at possession stats and tell me we dominated that game. We ran our socks off, but were clueless. The shape was dreadful, the subs, everything. We had four prominent shots and all of them ALL of them were straight at the keeper. I'm not exaggerating, we were really bad that day. Take of the tints and go watch the 90 and come back and debate me.

I'm really happy with the last few games, its taken the pressure off. But we have not played well in all the games like some are suggesting. We capitulated against Everton, and the Wolves game was probably the worst performance since Vestergaards debut at Cardiff. In other games, our energy and tenacity has been great but attacking threat absolutely dreadful! Lets not get too far ahead of ourselves, we are still as much in the mix as Villa, Burnley & lets say Wolves. But man, I'm enjoying the breathing space. Just wait till mid December when the media will be selling our best players to everyone. Bumps still to come.

Very interesting hearing Atwells justification for not sending Cresswell off yesterday against Liverpool. 'Not enough force to endanger the player.' So once again it just puts these challenges back into the realms of subjectivity. If you apply that logic to JWP's red at Chelsea, its just means that either the ref is guessing, or the var operative is. The only bit of consistency is Mike Dean who always goes 100% against us!

Brilliant entertainment 0-0. Like a grudge match from the 1st minute. Intriguing. Really enjoyed it, and happy with all the results thus far. Stands us in good stead.

That was a knee jerk contract extension!

A bit disappointed with Brendon today. Berty not in the squad and Vesti on the bench. Come on man, play fair.

As expected. Brentford now realising what the EPL is about. They rode the crest of a wave, now its time to grind. I'm happy with how the bottom looks. Toon game getting bigger all the time. Love the evening games when we have 3 in the bag and the pressure is mounting.

Not a fan of the waistcoat and trainer combo. Needs to do better -------------------------------------------------------------------- Whaaaaat. It's a lovely blend of chavvy tracksuit & smart wear. He is a icon!

Yep, indeed. And Jack will be back after the break. Things coming up roses.

His hamstring is healing nicely, but his ego is bruised beyond repair! Prognosis, he's a bit of a nob.
