how many times do you walk out of a football ground disappointed you've only scored 6? how many times at 5-0 up do you think the atmosphere has actually gone a bit flat? profound this was mind, actually a bit gutted we didn't hit double figures and record some kind of top.flight record victory! ah well, maybe at goodison next week?

I mean I know last weekend we were shite, however prior to that we'd won 5 on the bounce, one of which was an emphatic victory against the bbc's other favourite's 'united' as well as 3 away from home including a 5 goal mauling down in london. but 'stuttering' of late according to the beeb in a desperate attempt to big up the red dippers.... Liverpool have picked up successive wins since the superb comeback against Arsenal a fortnight ago and with Tottenham Hotspur still to play at Anfield at the end of the month and Newcastle United stuttering of late, Klopp's men cannot be dismissed from the top-four race

aye. will always associate it with my first real hero at newcastle. looked canny on the away strip too.

legend in mykonos though. everybody knows him.

working on a sunday? fucking shameless blobber you are.

if it meant I got my hands on his 2 tickets, probably aye.

I initially read your earlier post as that you'd bought tickets for the match forgetting that you were actually gonna be away on holiday. I immediately went in to mercenary mode.

cheers ct, very generous offer, I'll let you know. to be honest mate if all that's available is seats that low down I'd probably rather watch it on the tele. I always try to get tickets for towards the back of l4 or a similar height elsewhere. really don't like an ant's eye view of a match. at the recent west ham game as well as the away at brighton I had seats at the front. I didn't even bother going to them, just moved higher up and stood in a row with others who didn't give a fuck I wasn't really supposed to be there. mind you, even the back of the away section at brighton is too low I think. at forest the away end seemed more packed and dense (maybe there's less room between rows) so I stopped where I was supposed to be near the front. I thought pope was as much at fault as botman for their goal, didn't realise it was isak who had equalised but thought the ball had hit the post and run out wide at the other side of the goal anyway and was unable to see isak's run up or kick the ball for the penalty, only the ball hit the back of the net. maybe im just going blind?!

aye mate, I'm linked 2 other people, known them both for years. not really concerned about the latter bit, they know I have a husqvarna 136 and bear an uncanny resemblance to bruce campbell once I start wielding it.

I did a @Christmas Tree and managed to forget about this! unsurprisingly got 0 and managed to piss off me chauffeur's son as i was buying duty. ct..... when they go on general sale provided you get a low number where's the best area of the ground to head to where youre most likely to get a couple reasonably close together or are they just random scattered single seats all over the ground?

scab bastards. hate wings' shit song as well.

howay forest. fuck the sex pistols and the clash, I'll always remember how happy I was in '77 that mull of kintyre spent half me life at number 1 in the charts.

in fairness those 70.6% are probably the very same people who were shouting for howe to be sacked on twitter yesterday. far too early to judge the lad yet, but its reasonable to say he wasn't great yesterday.

I think in the run of 3 away games against a west ham team fighting relegation, (who were the better side for large parts of the game at sjp and fully deserved a draw) a european chasing team at brentford and an aston villa side very much on a run an no doubt motivated to beat a club above them, then I probably would've took 5 points if offered beforehand. we got 6 and therefore I can't really be overly disappointed. other than with yesterday's performance, which was fucking woeful. I'd also add that I thought pope looked like he's still suffering from a lack of confidence since the liverpool debacle anywhere outside the six yard box. I always thought yesterday's game was the one we were mostly likely to lose, no matter what any mathematical analysis, pie charts or graphs suggested otherwise. and so it proved to be. we were well and truly humped by a team apparently fortunate to be in their current position on the back of only having played shit clubs recently! said last week I think on the 'other games' thread that villa looked a decent bet at 11/1 to finish top 6 and I'd have a tenner on it. never got round to it.... they're 5/2 now.

howay forest. never, ever had a bad word to say about the good folk of nottingham or the breakaway UDM during the miner's strike me.

the bleatings of a condemned man.

I went on a 7 game unbeaten run and was mercilessly cast aside. you're fooling only yourself if you think knives aren't being sharpened.

you fucked up as thread starter, no amount of fiddling with figures will alter that. there's a coup afoot to overthrow you.

I've not seen it, but I'm gonna hazard a guess it's the exact opposite to the over confidence displayed by some in dismissing emery's villa as a team that's only beaten shite prior to the match? I mean it's fair to say we were awful today, but villa were very, very good, it was never gonna be an easy game.

fucking abysmal. second best all over the pitch. very lucky it was only 3. sack gemmill.

https://www.villatalk.com/topic/24016-pre-match-thread-cup-final-3-of-10/#comments a read of the match day thread on their forum is predominantly over confidence, some more cautious and fair smattering of comments from 'benny' halfwits like the one below. would like to think we'll give them a hiding but I also think writing off their chances on the basis they're only beating shit teams is a little over optimistic. there's no doubt emery is doing a good job there, he took over a team in the shit under gerrard and has turned it round. he may have started from a higher base than us with bruce/howe but it's still a reasonable reflection of what happened here with a proper coach In charge. its actually a compliment to our owners that they had emery so high on their list of replacements for bruce, even if as it turns out he lacked the bollocks to take the job! disappointed not to see @The Fish over there fighting the good cause! anyway.....

what rio ferdinand needs is a fucking damn good hiding, the fucking repulsive halfwit. never forget....

sat outside the van in a sunny brecon beacons, about to tune in to radio newcastle. last match I listened to on the radio was against a london team and we won 1-4.... howay the lads!

makes my fucking flesh crawl, the plug faced cunt.
