The Fish

That American I record the podcast with sent out a message asking if anyone wanted to try and get tickets for whichever is the game Leicester clinch the title... Now, I'm not averse to watching other teams, I used to watch AFC Wimbledon a lot, even saw them promoted twice. Once at the Etihad. But I cannot understand travelling to leicester (or with leicester fans) to watch them lift the Premier League trophy when my team is, in all likelihood, relegated to the Championship. He says "A win for Leicester is a win for everyone". I'm not sure Spurs, Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea, Man Utd or Liverpool feel that way. I'm fairly certain Leicester winning the title isn't a win for Villa, for Newcastle or for sunderland either.

Can't remember when I last enjoyed 90 minutes. Sure we've won some games and played well in parts, but most wins have been nervy encounters. Even the 6-2 at home to Norwich wasn't really as comfortable as the score line suggests. There've been a fair few Saturday's when we've gone shopping/into London/to meet some of her friends for lunch instead of searching for a reliable stream. First season where that's become fairly regular for me. Think I'll be more likely to go to away games next year, especially as we'll have left London and its disproportionately priced tickets. (£50 for QPR)?!

This season's Damien Duff.

Think Aston VIlla are in real trouble. Don't they have debt to Lerner and to a bank? We only owe money to Ashley. It's not a formality of course, but depending on who makes up the squad in the Championship I think we could have the best team down there, as we did in 09/10. Actually getting excited about seeing what Aarons, Mitrovic and Perez* will do to the clubs down there *I know, I know.

If Rafa had seen something in the squad, the club or the board he might have stayed. But he hasn't, he hasn't and he hasn't, so he won't. It'll be Cathro taking us back up, then inexplicably replaced by Pardew the following season.

Hang on Stevie, I can't think of many people who don't take the piss out of themselves on here, it's one of this place's appealing features.

Aye I think also the lack of heart on the pitch has made it easier to not give as much of a shit. If the more of the players were as affected as Mitrovic I might feel for them. But a combination of being poorly setup for the majority of the season, a club with a losing mentality, gutless and/or incompetent teammates has meant we've been on a downward spiral for ages. I had hoped the spiral wouldn't be as steep, or that signings would arrest the slide, but we're a rotten club that doesn't deserve the support it gets, but does deserve relegation.

So it's only CT and Stevie that've shit themselves then? must be something in the Wearside water

Haven't been confident of survival for ages man.

As I've said, even if we somehow stay up, he's take the Valencia job over us any day of the week.

Where's that accadacca kid?

Even if we miraculously stayed up, he'd be gone.

Something ginger just exploded in Orlando...

This thread has gone brilliatnly for both of us.

I'm hoping that this relegation will be the final nail in a thumb shaped coffin. I'm hopeful that the new man will bring in a promising ambitious manager but I'm expecting us to employ Neil Warnock of someone like him.

Don't think we'd get much for Krul but going into the Championship with Krul, Elliott, Darlow and Woodman is bloated in that position so yeah, probably lose Krul. I'd want to convince Janmaat to stay but he'd probably still generate a lot of money for us. I doubt we'd convince Mbemba to stay and frankly I wouldn't be bothered about keeping any of the other defenders. Midfield we'll see Gini, Sissoko, Tiote, Anita, all jump ship. Wouldn't be surprised to see the back of Townsend too. I'd actively seek to sell Colback, Marveaux, Gouffran, Obertan up front I'd get rid of Cisse, Doumbia, de Jong Elliot Janmaat Mbemba xxx xxx Perez Shelvey xxx Aarons Mitrovic Armstrong Darlow Woodman

Didn't deserve anything from that game, but the manner of the loss is hard to take.

called it

Norwich to score in 3...2...1...

Penalty?

My lass literally just said that "well, don't worry, substitutes always score" as the cross was going in. edit:- Fuck
