[Football] The official match day thread: Derby vs Aston Villa

[lizard]

BOOOOOO. F***in' Villa scum.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Tomori really is a class act.

 

[Justice]

Terry wins the tooth whitening kit....

And somebody’s wife

BOOOOOO. F***in' Villa scum.

Another valid reason not to build the HS2!!

I will never ever understand how refs are so thick that they fail to add extra time onto added on time. There was a good minute or so of time wasting (including a yellow) during that 7 mins but he blew up dead on 7 mins. I couldn't care less who wins but this nonsense irritates me and it's the easiest part of the job.

I’d happily see him back here

Aston Villa UP...Lampard off to Chelsea, turmoil at Derby

If true, it will be interesting to see how these different club strategies work:

Appointing the best managers in the world - ManC, Spuds & Arsenal.

Appointing unproven fans favourites as managers - ManU & Chelsea.

My instinct is that Guardiola & Poch, will better Solskjaer & Lampard.

Enjoyable game.

I love the play offs, the essence of sport, an entire season distilled into one game.

Tomori looked excellent. With Chelsea's transfer ban surely he's going to be getting some game time there.

I'm not sure how many times in recent years Derby have been challenging for promotion, but I think its quite a lot without success.

Their fans must be really frustrated

Not disagreeing, but unless Arsenal win the Europa league, haven’t they failed in their prime objective.

Similarly, you could also argue that Lampard has actually done well in his first season.

Can’t stand Villa and Terry, but the silver lining is that Derby’s FFP cheating owner (the ‘profit’ on sale of stadium manoeuvre), failed to get his unjust reward.

 

[lawros left foot]

How many Villa players are on loan?
I know Mings is, maybe Abrahams too, any others?

Edit:
I’ve just googled it,they have Mings, Abraham’s, El Ghazi, Hause, and Tuanzebe.


If they replace or buy these players, that is a lot of money, to just stand still.

Yes good player, would like him back, but won’t happen in the short term.

I feel for them, it’s just about every season that they fail in the playoffs. Gutting for it to keep happening. I enjoyed all bar one of our games against them in the Championship. They should have gone on to win the season of the game they thrashed us at their place in the playoffs. Was that the Zamora final?

I like Derby as an awayday. The first time I went there was at the Baseball ground when we were in the third division, they were in the first and we ran them close in losing the game, which was a replay.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

I hope you’re right for Albion reasons.

My head tells me they’ll be mid table with ease - they already have about 20 highly paid names who are good players (many with top flight experience, unlike Fulham), and they’re a cocky club who will spend big.

Yes gutted, I feel the same, that means we need to finish above an established team. Though if Grealish went to Spurs and they don’t replace Abraham’s they could struggle.

Exactly right. He would sell them down the river without a backwards glance

Now promoted, Grealish will stay and receive a mega contract.

TB is very unusual in the PL, having a £50k wages cap.

The Brunswick is the best away pub IMHO

They have just got £170million...

Probably (but you never know), but picking up a point you made in another thread, arguably Chris was hamstrung in terms of PL quality, pace and guile by the wage structure.
