Devils advocate, but if we start holding players to contract against their will, we're not going to have a very good season, even in the championship. I think a lot of this depends on the mentality of the players. We could be severely in trouble though depending on how many of them turn out to be prima donnas.

To who?

There's always the cup.

Nah, the only big loss is Benitez and knowing our board he would have resigned by next Christmas anyway even if we had stayed up. Club needs rebuilding, away from the distraction of possibly being relegated.

Got an assist against the mackems but aye, a waste of space really. I reckon he must make runs that no one on our team is able to see or something, I just don't get how he can be involved so little.

How the fuck do we even manage this.

Can we now finally just fucking go for it? Even if we lose 5 fucking 0, we may as well.

I'd be inclined to say that the fucking around with the ball didn't help us there.

Optimistically, maybe the game plan was to invite pressure initially and let Norwich wear themselves down.

Nice ball by Shelvey. The first thing an outfield player has done of note.

What the shit was that Sissoko...

Fucking hell, well in Darlow.

Ok look, we're not going to be able to defend our way out of this because we're shit. We may as well go down all guns blazing.

We just don't have it in us to fight our way out of this.

4-0 down to Chelsea...

I'm sure if she could look down on this thread as a lasting tribute to her life, she'd be touched.

Not disagreeing with the overall thrust of your post but when did you last see Anita win a header?

Fair point like - I think the Sissoko thing comes from him generally not looking arsed rather than a fear of getting on the ball. As for the overall 'coward' thing on here, you'll need Essemmbee to explain that one. Being dutch makes you a coward automatically, but the rules after that seem inconsistent.

I've knew Gary Neville would have a hand in our downfall.

Oh God, why did you ask...

well done.

O...k...

Pique* but yes, that's about where I am. Not fully sure we're doomed but mostly sure.

Ahh the optimism of youth. Unjaded and unaware of the crushing reality that hope leads to.

fuck me, Villa doesn't half bring out the worst in people.
