[Albion] Premier League 1-4/1

[Jolly Red Giant]

Villa have spent according to Google £220m on fees plus God knows what on wages. They damn well should be better than us...

They had no choice - they didn't have anything approaching a PL squad when they were promoted - they had to buy nearly an entire first team last year. Now Brighton have not spent as much over the past 4 seasons - but the total isn't far off what Bloom has spent.

It has to be said that Villa have spent the money pretty well - they got some good players for their money.

What's Bissouma doing playing for Utd ! Bloody traitor .

I’d be surprised if Grealish doesn’t end up at the very, very top somewhere I hate the guy as much as anyone, he’s an absolute turd waffle but what a ridiculously influential and classy player, his final ball has reached a point that now matches the rest of his game. Greasy diving little rodent.

Although he is allegedly on 200k p/w at Villa so would probably take some prying away.

I can easily see Grealish at Man U, City or Chelsea next year.

They are hugely improved from last year that's for sure. They are a good example of the problem we have every season in this league teams with big budgets and the draw to get who they want...

Opposition players play with urgency and pace whilst the majority of ours tend to just.......potter about.

 

[Seasidesage]

Is it just me or is Darren Bent boring as **** and talks nonsense?

What Villa don’t do is piss about passing sideways and backwards they move the ball quickly unlike our walking football.

Have we played them yet this season?

The fact that Villa had to buy so many new players was their own fault, though - they spent over £80m on wages in the season they got promoted - by far the most a Championship team has ever paid in wages (we spent around £35m in the season we were promoted). I agree that they have bought well this season - Cash, Barkley (albeit on loan), Watkins, Martinez - all decent players. Unfortunately we are most definitely NOT in their league when it comes to transfer fees and wages.

I know what your going to say yes it was one of our two wins, then again we aren’t 6th with 26 pts.

Fulham game off tomorrow

Chance for them to get some new heads in and rest up

 

[El Turi]

I see Fulham’s COVID outbreak hasn’t stopped Mitrovic and Milivojević breaki the rules by attending a New Year’s party with loads of other people.

Who'd have though, a year ago, that there'd three ex-Albion central defenders in an Old Firm derby and the one not starting would be Duffy....

 

[The Wizard]

Another disgrace of a penalty, football is shite now honestly.

 

[The Fits]

Is that in the box?

 

[The Fits]

I said the same last week, i just don't know what a penalty is any more. I can't make a balanced decision because my brain has been fried.

All that mad running about and losing lol

All that mad running about and losing lol

It hurts me to say this .....but Leeds are the most entertaining team in the division so far
