A great piece of PR that the Rag loving media bought into straightaway. ‘The Wembley of the North’. Just like the ‘Noisy Neighbours’, coined by the (furious) Piss Can.

More like old shithole of the north,as things stand of course ..

Are they playing in the champions league this round, oh I forgot they got there arses kicked.

They're hunting down a top four place about as effectively as Wile E Coyote hunted down Roadrunner.

Even with the help of ACNE inc( Hojland), they are falling short.

Villa for the most part were the better side. I genuinely believe if anyone other than the Dippers or maybe Arse had scored the first goal VAR would've intervened and chalked it off.

I'm afraid we'll just have to accept the situation as it is until they become beyond hope... which hopefully won;t be too far away, once scruffy Jim's intervention fails.

We don't really want them to become "beyond hope".
The longer they grub around 5th to 6th place in PL the better. It means that "Ming the Merciless" look-a-likey manager of theirs sticks around for that bit longer - rather than the total clear-out they need. They were lucky that villa were so poor in front of goal and just nicked the game in the 85th minute. That certainly wasn't the Villa that terrorised us, that's for sure. That proposal from Jim of OT being a taxpayer funded "Wembley of the North" reported as an "exclusive" in the Telegraph was fucking hilarious and was absolutely slaughtered by every single person leaving a comment. They're the gift that keeps on giving.

Cap doffed. Brilliant.

They've actually been capable of playing well all season, the problem is consistency, even within a single game itself. I still think they are too open at the back to be serious contenders but I'm more than happy to see them getting giddy at the prospect of battling for top 4 as though that is something to be celebrated.

Seflies on the pitch like in 2016'ish after beating the dippers to secure 4th.

If you want to define how far the Rags are behind us , look at tonights result a brilliant controlled two goals victory , whilst the Rags fell to pieces and lost 3-4 , the gulf between ourselves and those red bastards is bigger than the Grand Canyon.

Who have the rags got in europe this week?

Judging by the amount of mentions in commentary I thought it might have been Copenhagen again.
