[Albion] Premier League 21-23/10/23

[BNthree]

Talking to a villa fan at work this morning (always have banter with him)and he is convinced Villa will win the league. Totally convinced. "Next 3 games are easy for us so we'll be top and no one will catch us" were his words

Villa fans seem second only to Leeds fans in the delusion stakes

What's this new (I think - don't remember hearing it before) continental style chant from the spurs fans?!

No problem with getting best 6-1 this season. The problem was Villa last season at the Amex. In 40 years of watching I’ve never seen a team time waste so much. Was embarrassing and why they had to make changes this season and add time on properly. Also why if you have the trainer on you wait 30 seconds before coming back on.
A lot of pundits don’t get it but anyone who saw Villa last year understands.

Pretty much every Villa player on the pitch at the final whistle was on a yellow card for time wasting if I recall correctly

Cheating every match, not just sour grapes. Cheated yesterday against Hammers with various Villa players falling down holding their heads when in the lead. Even Jamie Carragher mentioned it when commentating.

12 Villa players booked in our games against them last season, systematic cheating.

Son scores lovely goals

Good finish. But it helps when the CB cheaply gives it away, then runs into his partner trying to retrieve it.

Under the NSC radar, by mid October the PL table already resembles a top 8 money league. We’re the last one standing who haven’t spent countless £100m’s.

Really unusual, from memory normally at this stage a couple of them have struggled, there might be a manager sacking or two on the cards. Later rising to the top as injuries affect the Albion’s or Brentford’s of the league.

He had a peach disallowed against us. Last season? offside? I was in line with the trajectory - it was a great hit.

Yep, was thinking the same yesterday looking at the table. United are the team that annoys me seeing their position - they've been fecking awful and yet sit in a decent enough position to push on when they inevitably put a few performances together. So lucky to have 15 points on the board considering how shit they've been in the majority of their games

Apparently so. He's gifted Spurs their two goals this evening

These last two seasons playing awful football, but a winner from Goofy in sufficient games is enough to give the points for top 5.

It’s purely a money thing. A poor team and very average coach, yet the best part of £2b spent by the Glazer’s in fees buys them a couple of match winners.

I've watched most of the game so far (given up now, because watching foregone conclusions doesn't do it to me). I have my view on Fulham, which I'll save for after the game on Sunday.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Oddly think Fulham haven't played too bad

 

[The Colonel]

Fulham do the basics OK enough to be competitive, but they really lack any creativity. I'm left wondering how this team scores a goal.

Shockingly bad

Even if we were, probably need a Big Spender.

So do all Fulham fans.
