Promotion Thread 2017/18

[markwwfc1992]

I just hope for the sake of the integrity of the football league that we will get a referee that's strong enough and will protect our players against the wolves thugs in the title decider next week.

Haha, good one. I too hope we get a decent ref that can spot your persistant fouling shit off the ball. Maybe you'll fill your stadium for once too?

 

[villa loyal]

We've bottled it big time. Wolves and Cardiff are up now. Be interesting to see who finishes top. I'd be surprised if we went up, if I'm being honest.

 

[villa loyal]

The anti Bruce brigade have come out in force again. Just fuck off will you.

 

[big mean bunny]

Bruce has underperformed though if you don't achieve promotion.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Villa have blown a lot of money, a lot more than we have might I add, on bang average players. There's still chance for you to win the playoffs so it's not all doom and gloom yet, but if you don't go up this season should be considered a great failure. Dr Tony will have to decide to stick or twist in the summer, another season of failure and FFP will have a field day.

Didn't they actually make a profit on signings last season despite spending 50m plus or was that Newcastle?

Newcastle I think (sold Sissoko for something like £30m). On the top of my head Villa only sold Amavi and Gueye for decent money.

Wage bill will be extortionate too, they might be ok though with pp. They could easily go up yet though.

We're in a scary bit of form at the minute, I don't even know what to think. Fair play to Rowett.

5 points from 24 is a scary bit of form...

Derby were 2nd in February, 17 points behind Cardiff now.

On a one man crusade here youth aren't ya.

As I said in the other thread, that run has been a bit of a pain in the ass for us. If we'd only mixed up that run with this one we'd be absolutely buzzing right now being 5th.

Same with us, need to be on form like Fulham and wall at this stage

Sometimes it's too easy to get a bite....

They also sold Wijnaldum for £35m or something like that, couple of other players as well

 

[Another Walkley Owl]

Win tomorrow (ok thats unlikely) and I'm all over this thread!!

 

[TomPNE94]

Nobody fucking wants it

 

[blademan89]

Please stay like this

 

[SirTomFinney]

What is going on here. Lost 2 games in a row and still in a great position. If stays like this need Cardiff to get something at brammel lane tonight then we go again Saturday still 2 points off 6th incredibly

 

[Jockney]

Brentford back in this now? Four points off sixth, but with only Fulham from the top ten to play.

Incredibly yes. With every team faltering there back in it

This league is ridiculous

That could be the worst attempt at spelling bramall yet, everyone always gets it wrong. Wonderful set of results get in there

 

[Luke_1884]

Decent day for us.

 

[Rammy]

Couldn’t have gone much better really. Just need Cardiff to win later to complete a great day.

 

[Jockney]

If it's going to be like this every week until the end of the season I think my heart might give out.

 

[blademan89]

With today's results Brentford sneaking into it maybe too

 

[Abertawe]

neil harris is a great lad

 

[Luke_ciderhead]

We don't want it.

 

[blademan89]

We don't want it.

2 shots all game is pitiful, keep it up

 

[MagpieBee]

If only we hadn’t been so pants the last few weeks...

 

[TTOCS]

Can someone please start winning. I can take the failure but not the hope that precedes it.
As it stands now we have no chance but come Saturday morning I'm sure I will have changed my mind.
