Who's afraid of the PL???

[fat old seagull]

Let's get there first eh?

The Palace trolls are going to have have a field day on here with some of the threads if we don't go up.

Is perfectly true, however......it won't be as big a field day as we'll have, if we do and they slip off the end of their present slippery pole.

I assume that's the 'Champions League spot pole' you are referring to, right?

Slip out of europe?

'Romantic dreamers in the squad' - who (apart from you) said anything about there being romantic dreamers in the squad? Not me for certain. So why do you keep making things up and replying to things that were never said?

Thought the 'we' was collective. Or was it royal
Romantic? Dreamers? Prosper? I was only saying we should not be afraid of surviving in the PL, even with our squad as it is. Nothing romantic or dreamy about that. "Prosper" is another matter, I assume your talking about Europe or more?? Pray tell what dreams you have??

Blackpool? Don't think they stayed in the PL did they, straight down. Whatever they did it's sure not a model we should follow, given they are languishing in the fourth tier! Part of that is the idiotic owner to be fair, so doubt we'd have that issue!

Fair point. Watford then.

I'm not so sure on that, certainly not for those renewing their season ticket, even with the 'prices may change' caveat.

Although it's hard to imagine RotR or Mr Fairy, shelling out what'll be asked as the walk up price for Chelsea, Arsenal Utd, et al.

Aston Villa have improved a lot since Bruce took over as manager, and were arguably the better side at the Amex recently.

They were terrible in in the premier league last season though. Things can change very quickly in terms of how a team performs, form, confidence ect.

I think we are as good as Burnley

I don't think 4-4-2 is going to work to for every game and we may have to play 4-2-3-1 sometimes.

Last time we in the top fight, a few players that we thought not make the grade. e.g. Peter O'Sullivan thrived. So I 'm not about to write off any players.

Fortunately, a lot of our players are at the age where they can improve and would be expected to do so.

In don't Villa think were better than us in any respect. I would not have any of their players in preference to ours. Not a single one in the first choice XI. We gave them too much respect like we did at Newcastle as well.

On the day I would have had Grealish over Dale Stephens, because Stephens had an off day.

I expect they will be the same overall. Just less games for the same money.

South and north stand match by match tickets would have to be £30 would they not ?

Didn't the club confirm last year way before the end of the season that even if we went up prices would be kept more or less the same ? If we go up, ticket money goes from being the primary source of income for the club to a relative drop in the ocean, so changing the price will have little impact on the bottom line either way. I suspect prices will be about the same.

ST price the same but fewer games so an increase really.

True.....

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

Noticed a lot of threads and comments that mention the PL in reverence as if it is populated by aliens with three legs who are unbeatable. IMHO, apart from the big six, there are no teams that BHA couldn't beat. Comments like Duffy or the possible incoming lad from Derby 'are not PL players' or we need marquee (??) players is bollocks. CH has proven that its the team ethic that draws the best from the players, week in, week out. Am I being unrealistic, or did Hull, Stoke, Blackpool etc do something drastic to stay in the PL that I missed??

Luckily it won't bother us,we'll never get there,not all the time I've got a hole in my arse.

Getting there's the thing. With the squad we have this season, I don't think staying there would be a problem. Bournemouth are comfortable in the top division and there are very few of their squad I'd rather have than our players - Callum Wilson and Harry Arter maybe. Stocko is better than Boruc, Dunk is streets ahead of Steve Cook, Kayal is superior to Gosling, Knockaert and March better than any wide player they have. A few canny additions and we'd have no trouble.

That's the spirit Norman, consistent if nothing else. Emphasis on the nothing else.

My point exactly.
