Dark Munster Posted 22 October, 2023 Share Posted 22 October, 2023 Villa thrash West Ham 4-1 and are up to fifth, a point behind Liverpool in third. A year ago they and we were both floundering in the lower parts of the PL. Then they appointed Unai Emery, and we appointed Ankersen's genius pick Nathan F*cking Jones. Now they have a good shot at qualifying for the Europa League, who knows even CL (and with Emery you can't bet against them doing well in the Europa League). Meanwhile we're fighting to make the championship playoffs with a manager that most Swansea fans were delighted to see the back of. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa will always have that doubt in their mind that they're not aggressive and front footed enough, having not gone with Jones themselves. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but it wasn't that great a difference, and also you can blame SR for not getting a striker that every man, woman and their dog knew we needed. One of the reasons Ralph ended up broken. I'm not saying we should be flying as high as Villa are now (although with Emery you never know). But it grates seeing two clubs diverge by such a wide margin in one year due to sheer, unadulterated, mind boggling incompetence.

woodsaint1 Posted 29 October, 2023 Share Posted 29 October, 2023 Leicester and Ipswich have had ridiculous starts to the season. The automatic spots in the Championship at the end of the season usually average around 2 points per game. They're both well above that mark. Still think Leicester will be off in the distance but you'd imagine that Ipswich will falter at some point. We just need to be close to that 2 points per game mark once we get to the business end of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
