Vacamion

Shirt sales and all that, yeah I get it, but Villa play West Ham and neither is wearing Claret and Blue?

Villa playing in their pajamas.

Out at six bells with the temperature at minus 7 near me this morning. My facial hair was freezing stiff where I was puffing into it (maybe dribbling into it) Quite a bit slower than usual, as it was a tad treacherous under foot.

There's no guarantee it works for Moyes at Everton. He's had torrid periods at West Ham, Man United and Everton where he couldn't get results and fans wanted him gone. Parachuting into a troubled club, which has circled the gurgler for years, at a critical period, where mistakes could be VERY costly, isn't nailed on to work out. We got really lucky with Saint Nigel, but they they say "never go back" for a reason.

This thread is daring the Gods of Football to come up with an all-timer during one of our next games

Stopped the ball reaching the danger in the middle. Hand not by his side. Should be a pen. But the Magic 8 Ball said no.

Comnentator: "Gibbs-White - SOAKING UP THE JEERS" My missus just did a double take and asked "What? Did he really say that?" No, love, he said "JEERS"

Now then Fulham, break their hearts.

Just want to ask, what the hell was that Villa free kick in the 2nd half just outside the box? They could have had a pop at goal, instead chipped it to nowhere. Brainless of Villa, but luckily for them, we had Justin to out-do them in brainlessness.

Agreed. No one has speculative shots any more. Shame.

An almost creditable performance at a place hardly anyone gets any points. Luke Thomas and Jordan Ayew did ok considering the prophesies of doom, pre-match. For all the slagging Vardy got in the match thread, he contributed brilliantly to our goal. JJ should have booted it away instead of farting about to concede the second. He probably needs to be taken out of the firing line. I fear he might get the Ward-esque booing at the next home game. Still, a small consolation is that it wasn't utterly abject and we were still in the match til the end.

When Mavididi knocked it in. We lost that because of brainfart defending, not a lack of attacking.

JJ, Ayew and Thomas all got absolute pelters pre-match and they've all largely done their job. It's boring and fairly crap to watch, but I would snatch your hand off for a point.

You'd be FEWMIN if that was scored against us and they allowed it.

That Spurs Keeper has Conrad Logan levels of benchwarming experience.

It's so bad that Fatawu was injured. His sub appearance against Southampton was 11/10. He scared the absolute crap out of them and turned the game.

I thought the 2nd Arsenal goal was a foul on the Brentford keeper. Still, game over, now.

It being 1st January I put up the new LCFC calendar tgis morning and Edouard is on the picture for March 2025. Seems a bit optimistic.

The Ashes at the end of the year and into 2026. Still ruminating whether or not to go, but I'll enjoy the cricket one way or another. Call me a blind optimist, but with a fair wind and if the Lord Satan allows it, England can beat them.

Bilal only showed it in glimpses under Cooper. Stand out player under RVN.

I've been out all evening, got baxk in late to find this shock result, and them came into this thread specifically to see this post. So thank you.

Many in here are slagging Ruud off when he's been here about a month, when we were already fairly crap when he took charge, after we had recruited badly last Summer, while we have an injury crisis affecting some of our better players and at a time when (ex Wolves) we have been playing better sides, brimming with confidence. Give him a bit more time and maybe a transfer window before writing him off, maybe?

At 2-1 down, for about 25 minutes in the second half, it looked like we were sitting back and actually *playing for* that result. The lack of attacking intent second half was a bit baffling. What little we had went through Mav, nothing through Ayew. Still, not ten - nil, and no Ward, eh.
