I’m fairly sure we’ve also registered 4 goalkeepers, and he has registered Matty Longstaff who he doesn’t play or seem to rate. I struggle to believe we couldn’t offload Gillespie or Darlow and loan Matty out to a championship side, I question the level of interest in doing so as this way we use this as an excuse and just don’t bother improving the squad. Most other PL clubs clearly carry unregistered players btw, if we had to carry Matty and Gillespie for 6-12 month while trying to offload in order to improve the team that wouldn’t be a crippling cost ffs. This is the frustration, I don’t mind us being poor but could we at least give the fucking semblance of trying? Having to watch the worst manager in the league make constant fucking excuses on why having a 4th registered keeper who makes maybe £4K a week is what prevents us from improving our side is so fucking tedious. I see no way we stay up this season tbh, I know it’s early doors but as HMHM pointed out we’re playing our best 11 and still offering way less than last year, couple that with the squad clearly being unprepared and lacking fitness. Ashley is such a fucking parasite, if he wants to be a tight cunt and not invest in the squad he can get away with it but to do so he needs to pay a manager that can get something out of a squad, Bruce gets nothing additional out of players in fact I can’t point to a single player who has improved under his tenure.3 points

So if Willock had turned us down, we’d have had space for precisely one player? Bruce has regressed these players so much that nobody will even bid for them3 points

With what I've seen of Woodman so far I wouldn't be in a hurry to sell any of our other keepers. I've seen vampires who are less afraid of crosses.2 points

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by hung up? I think our support is fractured, possibly to the point of it being beyond repair, but I hope not. we've got thousands who probably share my views and who've walked away. we've got thousands who probably share my views but remain. we've got thousands who probably think mike ashley is doing a good job and saved us from financial oblivion. we've got thousands who've jumped on the opportunity for a free ticket to provide a backdrop for keith bishop's crisis management pr exercise. we've got thousands who tolerate steve bruce. we're all co-exsisting but it's not particularly harmonious or even healthy is it? I feel angry, bitter, resentful but mostly saddened that ashley has managed to achieve this. does that mean hung up? I've no love for leeds united but I quite enjoyed reading this article on the bbc the other day... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58294478 as it stands we've had 14 years of ashley's football purgatory with no real sign it's about to end any time soon and if I held my hand on my heart I'd rather we replicated leeds and ashley lose tens of millions on his version of nufc then profit by even by more by selling to the saudis. it's what he deserves. we'd bounce back as leeds have and maybe then like them our support would be united and have some hope? it's fucking tragic.2 points

Setting aside the wage aspect, he can't be arsed at Everton. If he's moved on it will be because Rafa doesn't want him based on attitude and not ability. Not someone we should even consider.2 points

Steve Bruce @ Villa Park. 2021. " We trained all week in dry conditions and today at Villa Park the rain was very wet which we didnt prepare for" There's a revelation "the rain was very wet" Fuck off man.2 points

You know when you watch Joelinton fall over the football and think, "I reckon I could be a professional footballer" I just watched this video of Van Persie and 2 players I've never heard of and realised I couldn't be a professional footballer1 point

I think perhaps essembee used only the wrong word in 'success' 'acceptable' would be more appropriate judging by the amount of folk who seem happy enough to facilitate ashley running the club like a branch of woolworths in its death throes.1 point

Our tactical substitutions this season will just be Joelinton, Gayle and Fraser chucked on at various points in the last 15mins. I'm willing to bet they don't score more than 3 goals between them off the bench all season1 point

Almiron is a player that needs a system to perform, like most players of the level we have the only exceptions are ASM and Wilson who can make something out nothing, but most our players are rank average players who need some type of system or tactics to perform. Bruce gives them absolutely no fucking plan or platform for them to succeed, the players look lost every week and we basically depend on ASM or someone creating something from fucking nowt to pick up points. I don’t rate Almiron at all but he is capable of doing something at this level.1 point

Expect Bruce to say something along the lines of being hard done by, Callum missed his chance and Ings scored his and we were unlucky not to get the pen. Then some mention about how it’s a good Villa side, when it’s not, and about how there were positives to take. Fucking loser.1 point

VAR can pinpoint the exact moment the ball leaves the foot and create a mm accurate line across the field to determine that Wilson is a smidgen in front of the defender, but it's unrealistic to expect that it could see that Murphy cleanly kicked the ball last week despite the conclusive video evidence. Sounds about right.1 point

There’s absolutely nothing about us as a side tbh. This Villa team is fucking rank and probably the best side we can put out can’t lay a glove on them, it seems the rancid cunts luck will finally run out this season. This will be no points from two games we absolutely should be getting points from if we want to stay up.1 point
