Fear Of The Fox

Agree. They're also sitting comfortably in the Top 10, was their season goal CHL football? I doubt it. Villa is getting CHL but it's going to be a very difficult 24-25 season for them like Newcastle's.

Yes I'm aware, this is why I said about more charges pending. But I hope you understand I can't go into further speculation, assumptions etc. We're talking here about the initial points deduction which looks very likely. I'm just a fan of the team, I'm not an accountant. That said, it seems next season will be a proper rollercoaster and I can't say I'm very happy with that. Us dedicated fans who pay money for the club need to know in depth what's wrong and have a better explanation of the situation.

I knew the Last Of Us Part 3 would take place in Liverpool.

It's better to have the pts deduction pre season and plan accordingly (given the fact there won't be any more charges pending ofc). If others are penalised after Xmas it will be even better for us.

If he stays he surely needs to abandon/adapt his style of play? We can't go to PL games with Vesty and Faes and playing from the back. Bookies will lock all our games as N/A for certain bets. Same applies to Ipswich and Southampton if the latter go up. Given the lack of quality and intelligent CBs everywhere Enzo will have to deploy a proper deep low block and hit on the counter by getting FBs like Ricardo involved cautiously.

It's going to be difficult either way. Get the pts deduction early and we'll struggle convincing potential targets to sign. Get the pts deduction late and it's going to mess up the mentality. We have to wait and see. I'm certain we won't be the only ones punished next season. It's going to be a -6pts I reckon. PL and Sky want the league to be competitive (in their own minds ofc). A -12pts is highly unlikely imo.

Re QPR I remember a post of mine here and I had them as favourites for a PO spot. Imo they've massively underachieved this season, their team quality wasn't for a relegation battle surely. This is the "issue" with this league though. A streak of bad results has big mental impact on the players. When managers can handle this and approach the players psychologically can overcome these situations (Sheff Wed is a good example).

Sooner than the Man City one. If this helps.

I believe Vardy is a legend. Oops, wrong thread.

Farke moaning, swearing and losing his temper for no reason at all. He's lost the team, they'll get battered in the POs.

Their ability to push forward and create chances is great though. One of the best in the league. Every single attack is a proper chance for goal.

Meh, the drama ended quicker than I would like. On the other hand let the Leeds flood of tears begin. They also don't stand a chance in the PO against any of the teams there.

All these teams have CBs that shouldn't even be playing the sport. The amount of mistakes and panicking clearances is staggering. All of them are always out of position, they don't have any space awareness.

It's common tactic by all managers for decades in football to field the best players of the team that won the league on the last home game. Idk why some are complaining here.

I don't mind the gesture but Chang isn't beer, it's a chemical mix of unknown ingredients. It's like McDonald's offering for free their "cheeseburger" and calling it a proper homemade burger.

I feel very generous today: Ipswich down 0-1 and Leeds 1-0 up by the 93min. Southampton scores from a deflected shot on 94min.

Why do GKs move so early towards the projected direction of the ball? There's still time for them to react to these shots outside of the box.

Exactly. Marinakis is ready to Tweet. That penalty was a joke. What on earth they expect the defender to do there? Jump with his hands on the ground? Ball hits his hand from 2cm.

Even if your bet was £5000 they would have offered around +£100 max at that point. One of the million reasons I never bet. Proper crooks especially after our PL title win. Good for you though that you're just betting for fun with small amounts.

What was your cash out at 0-2? I doubt it would have been decent even if your bet is a large amount, bookies aren't stupid.

There's a huge difference in quality. No matter the result tonight Olympiakos won't get past Villa. I'm still certain though Villa will win comfortably tonight.

If they're scared they should go home and start another profession like dog walkers. I'm not sure though they would even manage to walk a dog.

This is a proper embarrassment so far for Villa, Emery knows it and this is why he's furious. I still believe this will finish 4-2 to Villa tonight or 0-5 in the 2nd leg as Olympiakos is rubbish.

Absolutely disgusting, they're "investigating" for 5 mins inch by inch every single incident to find something faulty/fishy. They're ruining the sport every single day, it's time all the fans to react collectively. As it stands I'm not even looking forward to next season even if we start with +20pts.

Yes, you're correct. It's all over for Leeds.
