Lost his mum to covid, not been able to attend the funeral due to travel restrictions. His head will be all over the place right now.

Yet still he's fair game on here.................funny how the Villa fans having a crack at Ben Mee's knockout are "disgusting", "gobby" etc etc etc............

Sorry, missed that.

evensteadiereddie

Who did ?

evensteadiereddie

never week goes by without the entire team or individual players getting hammered for one reason or other. I have been guilty on occasions. The fact remains we usually get it horribly wrong. That's why we are impoverished pie chompers shelling out small fortunes many cant really afford to watch our...

Fair play to Dyche for explaining and sticking up for his team selection the other night. An excellent al round effort today.

evensteadiereddie

He's a class act.

evensteadiereddie

Dyche is a genius.

evensteadiereddie

Funny how Tuesday evening is being expunged from memory 🤔 Fans who understand the club's and Dyche's circumstances could appreciate why the team selection v. Bournemouth was made and although disappointed, moved on. Those experts who believed that our squad is strong enough to withstand the risk of...

Doing the draw for the next around of the FA Cup with Greta Thunberg.

Well, that would certainly reduce a few of the surplus population on here.

As Tiger says... "Comparing our squad with Leicester's, is like comparing apples & pears, they have a depth that we just don't possess, and even more so given our lengthy injury list, I have been one of the most vociferous critics about that nonsense on Tuesday, and I'm still unhappy now, but until ...

Nowt like getting the criticism early, Granny, is there ?

Spot on, super. I love how those who write off Dyche's "hatred" of the cup or his "contempt" for the cup forget that he was part of the Chesterfield team that were robbed of one of the biggest upsets and one of the cup's finest team performances. Dyche knows all about the romance - or otherwise - of...

More than Fulham get in their next three games....

And, if by chance those games go disastrously wrong, I don't think Dyche or anybody else will be listening to a few numpties' whinges about an FA cup loss.
There'll be plenty on here hoping we fail of course but that's up to them.

evensteadiereddie

Bloody Channel 5. Damn those commercial channels, eh ?

evensteadiereddie

Iam sure Mr Dyche is relieved to have such experts on this messageboard to tell him when to rest players. It's not like he has a team of highly qualified sports scientists he can turn to, who know every bit of the players body, with scientific read outs on how every bit of that body is working and ...

evensteadiereddie

Fully agree, NC.

evensteadiereddie

Dyche's job is to keep us in the Prem with as high a league position as possible. If Dyche is of the opinion that taking any kind of risk last night was not worth it, the chairman will support that. Relegation this season would be disastrous. A few might be spitting their dummies out on here - some ...

And ?

Well done Tony for your efforts I too am old enough to remember our Gutless rollover v Wimbledon Last night's game was shameful beyond belief ,another in our low spots to add to far too many cup exits. "Gutless rollover" ! Nonsense, we absolutely battered them - it was one of those one in a hundred...

evensteadiereddie

Well what if we pick up knocks in the city games you know the none winnable games, the ones we get hammered in, do we put in the kids and make 10 changes and leave just McNeil in like last night to save players from injurys so they can play in the winnable West Brom type games ???? Will the happy c...

evensteadiereddie

I don't think there's any doubt that Dyche wants to win every game. Unfortunately, for many reasons,we are restricted by reality in what we can do. Dyche errs on the side of caution and is quite willing to sacrifice, or at least take a huge gamble on, winnable FA Cup games, deeming that our next few...

evensteadiereddie

Blimey, Dave, Freudian slip or what ? :lol: If tonight was tough on the fans, it was a damn sight more tough on the fringe players who came in and let us down. A huge chance to perform, keep their place for the next round and who knows ? They simply weren't good enough - you can see why Dyche protec...

evensteadiereddie

I think the only message he's made tonight is to warn 44 clubs that he isn't good enough, he certainly didn't do his CV any favours. Anymore performances like that and I wouldn't give him a penny to spend. How do you coach players to be unable to pass a ball, because as a collective we have taken g...

A disgrace to the Premiership,a disgrace to the club, a disgrace to the fans. Is that really the best we can do? That stunk of apathy and either contempt for the manager, contempt for the club, contempt for the tactics and contempt for the fans. You're talking absolute nonsense. We put out a poorly...

A fine win for the Clarets with Vydra bagging two. Great odds being offered for the latter.

This is our resident blackbird, Scruff. As a youngster, he was the tattiest creature you could imagine but has developed into quite a handsome chappie in spite of his magpie/pied wagtail wannabe syndrome. His white markings are caused by an abnormality known as leucism, apparently. IMG_20201231_1610...

If BBC is so good it should stand on its own 2 feet and go down the subscription route. It’s just wrong that you have to pay for a licence even if you don’t watch/listen to BBC eg if you only watch ITV and Channel 4. Only country in the world that has a tv licence ! I possibly would subscribe but i...

evensteadiereddie

Well,jakub, I guess that's the choice you make. Is the small amount of TV that you actually like worth paying anything for ? If nothing is to your taste, don't bother.
Fortunately, millions of others - judging by the viewing figures - are happy enough.

evensteadiereddie

Fair enough, LB, but I think you'd be missing out on some cracking programmes, drama in particular - nobody else comes near. I dip into Netflix occasionally - "The Dig" for example, and Amazon Prime has very little too but you can generally rely on the Beeb. Add in your Repair Shop, Antiques Roadsho...

You don't watch the BBC, LeadBelly ?
Seriously ?

Why would anybody refuse to pay it ? It's tremendous value.

So how did we we win the points we have ? Or did Santa bring them ?

evensteadiereddie

Aspointed out, our league position could be far, far worse. I think most posters thought we'd get a couple of draws from our last four games, one even talked of three points from them being "a miracle". Just imagine how it would be without those six. We've done well and will continue to do so. Sure,...

I would imagine his family would hate the idea of money being wasted on a statue and would probably prefer to add another or extend the foundation already set up.

I know it was a dramatic portrait but he came over as an absolute gent in the movie Marvellous. The story of Neil Baldwin and his relationship with Stoke City.

Brilliant. And how many times have the mighty Villa beaten this "pub team" in the last four PL games...you'd expect a better return than one out of four for well over £200 million.
