Exactly this. He should have been given another season, but so many fans had turned on him that it was always going to go nasty every time we didn't win. I think we've got a better manager now though, so it's worked out alright

Not to forget Al Miron, who seems to have remembered how to score at last

Yeah, you're right, there will be a happy medium between straining every sinew and playing the same XI six times in three weeks, and just not bothering. Certainly Potter and this set of players are not going to throw the games, no way. Plus a jammy win for Villa today and west ham and Watford...

As much as I would love us to get loads of points and catch teams above us, we have to think of next season. It's such a short off season that we could get a start on other teams by making sure players are rested and going through as much of a normal pre season as possible. It would hurt to go...

I suppose we could be generous and say that Gross held on to the ball and kept possession in the dying minutes of a game we were winning?

First 1-0 of the season, and first time I've seen Potter properly shut up shop - he's adding strings to his bow! Got to be able to do that in the premier league. MOM will be Lamptey because his pace and touch catches the eye, but the whole back 4 were excellent. Webster has really grown over...

Yes. I wasn't going to but have just been invited. And as coronavirus is basically extinct in western Cornwall, I'm not too worried about the risk. I am royally pissed off that the infected hordes are about to descend on us as the campsites and holiday parks open up next week; so I plan to get...

arguably Villa away, in order to win the title. Before that, in the league proper, Boro away. Massive wasn't just a 'Must win', but a 'Must win by several goals'. (ah, but that first 30 minutes, what fun that was)

We've been depicting him as white all these years, when he wasn't, so why does it matter? Serious answer to your question - it will end when decent-minded people stop saying things like 'Sorry, but where will this all end?'

I think one of Potter's skills is responding to the tactics and formation of the opposition when they are on top. He sees what they are doing, where we are struggling, works it out and counters it with changes at half-time or second-half subs. We've had several excellent comebacks against good...

Sad. I know that on-the-pitch results don't mean much when a club goes into administration, but they had won all three games since restart to pull 8 points clear of relegation, but now the inevitable 12 point deduction will send them all the way back down to the bottom of the table.

Come on Villa, get some points, I really want West Ham to drop...

It's been a damn fine start so far, 4 points from 2 games, with Norwich 0 from 2, Bournemouth 0 from 2, West Ham 0 from 2, Watford 1 from 2 and Villa 2 from 3. Long may this continue. Nice that we're getting Man Utd a day earlier than any of the other FA Cup teams are playing

Are they? The thing that bugs me the most about this saga is that there hasn't been a single Arsenal fan coming on this board. It wouldn't have been like that in the lower leagues, we'd have been inundated.

What's bugging me about this whole affair is that we haven't had a single Arsenal fan on this board. Wouldn't have been like that down in the lower leagues

A Sheffield United fan. Said they were going to push for Europe at the start of the season. Damn him....

There are of course already movements for anyone suffering from financial inequality, the largest of which is the Labour Party. And those 30 year old unemployed struggling people who didn't have a fair start includes many black people. But most of all, anyone suffering inequality should laud...

You would agree its capitalism in context though, right? IE its those capitalistic structures that disproportionately reduce equality for black people? I suppose the wider point here is, do you support capitalism at any cost, if it inherently creates inequalities in society that are nothing to...

Like you I thought that racism was a thing of the past in Britain - but what the events of the past few weeks have taught me is that that very much isn't true. I have learned many things that have horrified me, and its been a very valuable experience. Black Lives Matter should be lauded as a...

Yeah :) I had Germany v Saudi Arabia in mind...
