Solid And McGinn looked superb. Best team won Direby remain very much in our shadow Agreed. Happy to see other Midland clubs in the Premiership. McGinn and Grealish were head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch. Mings is decent also. 2 - 1 flattered Derby.
RonnieTodger Posted 27 May 2019 Posted 27 May 2019 I actually wanted Derby to win but those signs are hilarious
Wymsey Posted 27 May 2019 Posted 27 May 2019 Smith's father, Ron, worked as a steward at Villa Park but now lives in a care home and his dementia means that he does not know his son is now Villa's manager. Smith said: "I went to see him on Friday and he opened his eyes for a couple of minutes and I told him that the next time I saw him I would be a Premier League manager. He smiled. "It's a terrible illness." , but also pleased for both of them that Smith fulfilled his promise.

Not sure this has been posted, but remarkable that two promoted teams from the Championship, Sheffield United and Aston Villa are both managed and captained by boyhood fans. What are the chances of that happening? ?
Aus Fox Posted 27 May 2019 Posted 27 May 2019 Congratulations to Derby for qualifying for yet another Brian Clough Cup Final. Amazing stuff!

ScouseFox Posted 27 May 2019 Posted 27 May 2019 what price does anyone think villa are to finish above us next year? realistic pls. cheers.

I'd bet they dont get anywhere close to top half next season. They looked great in the play offs against a shit Derby and looked average all season, shit at the start but got better towards the end. I didnt want them to go up, but now they have i hope we smash them and take 6 points. I hate Villa and really hope they go right back down next season
FrankieADZ Posted 28 May 2019 Posted 28 May 2019 some of the derby fans were really rustled by them banners and still are by some of the comments on social media on the game as a whole, Villa for me had more quality and they went on a hell of a winning run too to get into the play offs, on derby, id be very surprised if they are anywhere near the play offs next season with the fact 3 of the starting line up yesterday and probably the best 3 were all loans.

Good to see him being "normal". You could see he was looking a bit worried in the last few minutes - we've all been there. Why shouldn't he enjoy the "beautiful game" like the rest of us. Sooner see him cheering his team on at Wembley than quaffing champagne at the polo!
CosbehFox Posted 28 May 2019 Posted 28 May 2019 Given Derby’s absolute adoration for Lampard doing the bounce and the spy circles, this has been an absolute corker pulled off

Leicesterpool Posted 28 May 2019 Posted 28 May 2019 23 hours ago, ScouseFox said: what price does anyone think villa are to finish above us next year? realistic pls. cheers. I think Villa will finish between 12th and 14th, I can't see them either finishing higher and lower than that, out of the three teams promoted I think Villa look the strongest and more prepared. Norwich and Sheffield United I feel will struggle, Sheffield United have got too many championship based players and if there to rely on Billy Sharp up front to get the goals in the top flight then it's going to be difficult. Norwich I'm not sure how there going to approach the premier league, I don't think they'll splash out too much. Imagine Derby had came up with that squad, they would have been have had the same outcome as 2007-08 season. That squad was no where near ready for the top flight.
CosbehFox Posted 29 May 2019 Posted 29 May 2019 Villa need to re-sign half of their team. Both centre backs on loan, lead striker on loan, goalscoring winger on loan.

I'd be surprised to see Villa anywhere near the top 10 next season. I'd love Wilder and Smith to have decent first seasons in the Prem though. Both have done very well at the lower levels and have earned a crack at the top level.
RowlattsFox Posted 29 May 2019 Posted 29 May 2019 Problem Villa have is that they'll have to spend a fortune just to have the same side they finished the season with, let alone sign improvements. Derby would have had the same problem if they came up, using the loan system is great but it as its problems. Wolves were different because they had agreements with loan players.
Wymsey Posted 3 June 2019 Posted 3 June 2019 David Nugent has been released by Derby. Wouldn't be a bad move for him if he returns to Portsmouth, as he would be quite a handful for many defences in League One I'd imagine.

I'm sure I heard he was demanding unpaid wages when they were in financial trouble.

Think this one is down to the board at Birmingham, plus they've just sold their best player, rumoured to be selling their top goal scorer and received a points deduction last season. Left it too late else I'd have suggested he may have gone back to Swansea, but seems they're about to appoint someone.
