Weirdly hopeful for today, come on lads!

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Is Stones up to this? Sure I saw talk of a foot op being needed only a couple of weeks ago

Difficult period, but i'm hoping for a win. Normally i'd be saying an ugly win will do.
I would actually prefer a decent performance given the circumstances.
I have no time for this "in fighting". We support them win or lose. Oh and how they need this support right now.

So just a solid match will do. Comes on Blues!

Let’s be honest that villa team is shite on paper

 

[johnny crossan]

Cheesy on TNT - naught for anybody's comfort from him or his oppo - Pep might be offsky is his version of seasonal cheer. Deliberately downbeat assessment before a big game - very disappointing.

Bernardo Foden Gundo Grealish… a whopping combined 1 league goal between them!

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

You know better than pep then , do you see them in training ? Know who is fit to start ? Thank god we have you !

It’s tiresome the way some people post with such authority.

Savinho has done nothing as yet to warrant a start (he’ll be better next season undoubtedly) and Doku is still flattering to deceive with a lack of end product.

Ake is probably on the bench for show only.

That team isn’t far off the best we can put out in the circumstances and has several players that are suited to come on and change the game positively. I’ll take that right now.

Can you translate that into English pal?

Every week almost without fail a player Pep fails to mention will not be available this time Nunes doesn't make it to match day.

The fragility of our squad is more than worrying.

3 players who started last week unavailable this week including our only close to on field leader currently for 4 weeks.

if this doesn't change and we don't get a settled back four we have little hope of getting back to near what is required to dominate on the field and the scoreboard.

what? so you are upset coz pep doesn’t disclose injury report to blast the whole fucking world ?
