[Football] PL today

[Palacefinder General]

Which one do you remember with the most fondness?

Socialist Chris being the obvious answer. Let’s get that red flag back up the pole and flying proud.

 

[BensGrandad]

Which one do you remember with the most fondness?

Chris Hughton for obvious reasons of what he achieved for us.

Chris Hughton for obvious reasons of what he achieved for us.

Not forgetting his admirable political leanings, BG!

 

[southstandandy]

Great result. Just 4 more wins for us and I reckon we'll be safe. Should easily do that.

 

[sparkie]

Villa fans think Villa are down.

We can add them to West Ham fans who think West Ham are down, and Watford fans who think Watford are down.

 

[BensGrandad]

your team!

As I have said numerous times Spurs are the team I follow after Brighton who I support.

 

[Icy Gull]

Did Souness play for Spurs ?

I didn't know that. I only remember Middlesbrough and Liverpool

Started there I think

 

[Mr Putdown]

Im not sure villa fans could be classed as small time, but they certainly have an arrogance about them that God only knows why.

Probably something to do with winning the..

European Super Cup 1982, 1983
Intertoto Cup 2001
FA Cup 1887, 1895, 1897, 1905, 1913, 1920, 1957
League Cup 1961, 1975, 1977, 1994, 1996

Not forgetting his admirable political leanings, BG!

Not interested in his political views

 

[amexer]

I must be one of only ones who was very impressed with Norwich and Villa. Very able to win games. Delighted with their losses but we have not played to that standard for a long time

 

[Weststander]

Shyte atmosphere for the most part, too (although I only saw second half), again showing that the problem of atmosphere is nationwide and not unique to us. Although at the Amex a game like that would've been much louder in the stands i think

This is why, see if you agree:

Their fans consider Villa a huge club, with a European Cup etc.

When little old Brighton visit Villa Park, for example in May 2017, a sizeable portion of the home crowd are there to sneer at the Albion and piss on our parade, desperate that we don’t win the title. On my other visits there, similar stuff. Many of their scummy fans are not there for the football, similar to scummers like Boro and Massive.

To me, that’s small time.

In 44 years of travelling to watch football, I’ve never seen the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool fans at home there to do that. When we’ve shocked them with a result, they’ve been generous towards the Albion.

Villa fans can’t therefore be grouped in that company. Small time.

Wasnt there accustaions that his dad received £75k in a brownj envelope to signj for them as a schoolboy.

I don't understand the massive difference between the Southampton and Newcastle odds.

More likely to have been 75 quid back then BG

 

[Weststander]

I don't understand the massive difference between the Southampton and Newcastle odds.

There’ve been some unfathomable relative odds this calendar year. For several weeks we were 9/1, when Watford, West Ham and Villa were all about evens. Nonsense, soon corrected when we plummeted to 4/1.

Oh the joy when they equalised on that day In May ....fists waving at my face...I just smiled and reminded them who was being promoted

 

[Mr Putdown]

I didn't know that. I only remember Middlesbrough and Liverpool

Whilst he was indeed at spurs, I don’t think he actually ever played for them.

Not sure that helps.

 

[Wilko]

Great result. Just 4 more wins for us and I reckon we'll be safe. Should easily do that.

Just? We have won 1 in 12 including many of those games being against the teams below us in the table.
