Don't disagree with much of that but I don't think we will finish 4th or win anything over the next couple of years. I don't think most fans do, we're probably just enjoying the fact we're mixing it with the big boys now and playing actual football again. Personally I haven't even thought much about things like when we could possibly win a tropy or mount a title challenge, I'm just looking forward to next Saturday. We've visibly rattled the top 4 this season already, with a very limited squad, you think adding a couple of quality players will not add to the knicker quivering? They're already talking about a big 7. They tried hard to stop the takeover. They are SCARED. If or when we win a bunch of trophies is a not a directly related function. Life is short, enjoy the little moments mate.

Absolutely. Villa are going nowhere. He wanted a nice comfortable job, expect to finish between 10th and 15th. No relegation fight and defnitely no Europe challenge.

Unless we win the thing

RW - Upgrade Miggy. Love the guy, incredible run of form but he is still a limited player, will be interesting to see what level of performance he can keep up once the goals dry up a bit. In any case he should be a great second choice/rotation option to our shiny new winger, Murhpy and Fraser just dont cut it at this level. DM - Upgrade Longstaff, allow Bruno a little more freedom AM - Someone like Maddison who can play across the front and create chances when teams shut up shop (going to happen more and more against us with time) We are 2-3 players away from being proper scary

Cheers though mate I was remembering the old time stamp thing or something like that.

Why didn't the tweet embed for me? Completely unacceptable

Aye that's the biggest change isn't it? Its incredible to think of the transformation from Bruce's time. The fitness levels required as well. Its as if the players have been dying to execute a coherent plan, starved by years of cluelessness and general apathy under the previous management,

Almost as fun as the actual games

Absolutely buzzing. How have we missed this feeling of having a proper team, looking for post match interviews, analysis etc. All the better much of it comes from media/journus incensed at where this club is going

Magnificent stuff. And we were hardly hanging on, they didnt have a clear chance since their goal. What a confident team this is, its scarcely believable

Oh aye true, my bad We were linked to Luiz too, who's a decent enough player, but I meant Carlos.

Imagine we could have had Luiz instead of Botman

Excellent stuff, another 3 points. We could have scored a couple of more, and they never had a real look at goal. Everton are shite. Can't fault the effort with the fitness issues and run of games. Schar and Botman are brilliant. How easily has Botman adjusted to this league? Brilliant. Miggy's transformation in front of goal is bordering on Joelinton levels now. He's still a very limited player but we're squeezing the best out of him and cant help but feel chuffed for the lad. Give Eddie the backing for a couple of decent forward players now, he will work more wonders without a doubt.

Aye has has that in his locker Willock, class play. Everton have offered nothing here in front of goal, will be a travesty if they manage to knick a point.

Yup, really struggling with possession now. Eddie seems to be considering more subs

Hard to think of a more dislikeable character than Gordon, hateful bunch of pricks in general.

Miggy wow get in

Longstaff is an absolute log ffs

Feck well I should be midtabe by the end of the week then

Sooner we get rid of Castore the better. Completely uninspiring again

Aye I was saying that to my brother during the game. If I'm Real Madrid and looking to replace Kroos/Modric........

Well that was absolute class Agree on Bruno, him being in the side makes all the difference. And feck me we're actually in the position to make impactful subs now.

A challenge at the top at last:
