ALAW

[GreennWhite]

A good point.
It was kind of inevitable that Villa would score, having 74% possession in the second half, albeit a bit lucky. There's no way Abraham meant that.
The Martinez save from Nmecha was crucial.
We score that and we win the game.

Very small margins in the Premiership Chilli. Sometimes things go your way. other times they dont.

[GreennWhite]

It's a strange narrative on here always has been.

As if poor Daniel can't be criticised.

And yet Arsenal fans hammer Arteta.

Villa fans have hammered Emery (and probably are now).

Chelsea fans and Leicester fans didn't like Maresca.

Cov fans have complained about Lampard.

Man City fans Pep.

And yet any whisper of anything but love for Saint Daniel makes you a hater.

Every manager gets criticised, no matter how successful.

Yet you complain when people criticise Piroe

[GreennWhite]

We’ve lost 2 out of 14 since December: not bad is it? We’ll stay up this year. Maybe next year we will have a bigger FFP allowance and the budget to improve in major areas. We will be stronger next season for sure. Taken as a whole, this season is going better than expected. That’s down to Farke

Well said Victor, completely true.

We all know it could and should have been better but, we could be sitting in a lot worse position than we are, and relying on other teams doing us a favor. As it is we are in control of our own destiny. Will we be able to see it out and stay up, no one knows, despite all the experts on here thinking they do

[GreennWhite]

Appreciate I’m sounding like a stuck record, but it’s SCR from next season.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, change the record if its stuck

[GreennWhite]

Pardon me, I've been out all day since the game ended and now I'm in a bit of a mood. Plus, I'm drinking some excellent American IPA's. But some of you negative Nellies need to chill the f**k out!! About 95% of us would have been happy with a point on the road at Villa. Most of us said as much during the week leading up to the match. Do any of. you not see the bigger picture? Just in case it eludes you, the bigger picture is survival. And a point away serves that mission well. So to all of you that can't seem to remember that, just piss off!!

There, end of rant, I'll sober up soon enough....

Keep drinking Paul and shut some of them f***ers up

Because the narrative is completely different

Piroe can never do enough right for some yet Saint Daniel is sacred.

Oh come on Cjay, really ?
Stop doing your usual stuff by trying to change things to suit your own way of thinking
You slagged off Farke from the very start ( fair enough, your not a fan ) rarely giving him any praise. When fans jumped to his defense you kept throwing up excuses to further slag him off. So anything that was said in his defense wasnt acccepted by you.
When Piroe started getting flak ( rightly or wrongly ) for not playing well, you were the first to complain about fans having a go at him.
If you can have a go at someone then accept that some fans might have a go at someone you like.

Are you denying that some people on here get favourable treatment? Hand on heart.

Be they players, managers, whatever.

Play them at home, under the lights, a week on Tuesday too.

My first trip to Elland Rd was v Sunderland - I’m guessing circa 2006 ish. We lost in a mid week game.
Met lots of Sunderland fans that day and they were good fun. Loads of banter. Hope it’s still the same.

[1964white]

Really don't see what everyone else sees in Darlow...

I thought Darlow had a very good game.

[1964white]

Gets better every time you see it

Arguably the goal of the season.

[1964white]

Gruev urgh!

Gruev was really poor on Saturday.

[1964white]

We know Villa will make a couple of subs and come out firing for the second half, but will we be ready for it?

Yet, another strong PL bench against our weaker subs.

[1964white]

What a half. Karl Darlow can get that starting jersey tattooed on his chest after that.
And I just knew Stach was going to go for goal with that FK when I saw where Martinez was standing.
Keep it going lads. Great stuff.

It's not only his saves, Darlow all round game such as his kicking, punching the ball at distance & actually catching the ball, is proof Karl our best No.1 right now!

All managers make in game changes just about every game. It's not unusual, it's how football is supposed to work.

We made one at half-time.

We made one at half-time.

Enforced wasn't it?

Stop talking sense man, they will have you lined up and shot on here for that sort of behaviour
