Well before my time but Billy nick said Tottenham should be in Europe every season. Spot on. Anything less than that is a failed season.

And despite saying that he failed to get in Europe almost 50% of the seasons he managed us.
Would have been sacked in no time under current managerial conditions!!

Clearly he was another egotistical maniac failing to walk the walk.
Imagine the grief he would get in here for saying something and not backing it up.

Who knew! Unbelievable!!!
 
You’d hope so, yes. Players being fit shouldn’t be a problem as the only reason for injuries last season was a fat antipodean. He’s not here now.

And on top form? That’s what a manager is for. If not that, what?

Agreed Richie is a symptom of our wider problem, the paucity of quality and mindset in our squad. Nevertheless, he’s capable of better. Is Frank the guy to get that from him? I really do hope so, but I’m far from convinced thus far.
I see this accusation levelled at Ange, is there any evidence that confirms it.
We had players going down under conte and Mourinho as well, we just lost our two best defenders last season and people seem to think it was his poor management skills.

I'm fairly sure that he would have fitness coaches and trainers working on the strength and stamina - I would have thought that if any fingers were to be pointed it should be at them.
 
We usually 'get a result' against Man City, not really sure what point you're trying to make.

Villa have a very good manager which alludes to the point about Frank and where he needs to catch up.

lol we don’t usually finish ahead of city though do we??

Villa consistently beat us and have finished ahead of us what, three seasons in a row now going on four?

They have a very decent team. United have a very ok squad too. All of them are relatively average in the grand scheme of winning top honours.

Ours isn’t ahead by any definable margin.

Apologies. Sarcasm rarely gets noticed in text and I should know that.

I don’t think Ange was the reason for a number of our injuries. Shit just happens. If players get injured sprinting, there’s a deeper issue.

And for the record, I don’t think he’s fat either.

Holy irrelevance, Villa finishing ahead of us three years in a row has no relevance or bearing to THIS season which is the entire fekin point.

Umm... is "consistently beat us" the right term for a 3-2 five game result pattern with our two wins being 4-0 thrashings?

But then I suppose it's more grist to your mill that our last manager had us punching well above our weight given the paucity of our squad relative to Villa's...

Wait that's MY grist and MY mill 😡

They beat us more than we beat them. That’s quite consistent. I think going back further they’ve won like 6 of 8 or some shit, including FA cup.

Our squads are very comparable in strength imo and Villa have been a consistent top 4 challenger since Emery took the helm and were very competitive in the CL last season.

What I disagree with is shady’s schtick that we clearly have a better squad. We don’t.

Don't disagree with much of that.

But my feeling is that "Fulham consistently beat us" is a more accurate statement over the last few years :eek:🫣
 
Is Villa's?

Do they still have the likes of Douglas Luiz, Asensio, Rashford, Duran or have they got weaker?

Fek are we doing here? 😆

Yes. They have a handful of players who still walk in to our eleven. Rogers is so far ahead of our attacking players it isn’t even funny. They have more well rounded, mature fullbacks and a better goalkeeper and central midfield.

Literally all we have on them is a better centre back partnership (And Torres-Konsa is VERY stable and good) and higher ceiling.

It’s not my fault or problem than you are DELUSIONALLL mate.

The SQUAD not the staring 11

SQUAD mate, you know what a squad is right? Do you know why we compare squads as opposed to the first 11?

SQUAD




SQUAD!

The starting eleven is literally the most important part of any teams squad. And the benches they’re putting out are minimum as good as ours .. someone like Sancho on them while we regularly START Odobert.

What little "tics" did he have on the touch line or in pressers that we would all slay him for? Gum chewing coughing CUNT? Did he make subs slightly too late for peoples liking? :D

What kind of bomboclaat nonsense is this? No-one exclusively plays with their starting 11 and teams need their entire squad in a seasonal campaign so just talking about the first eleven again highly irrelevant to my point.

Go and look at their backup players, the fact that we've had 4/5 players who would start for us constantly injured this season and we're literally 3 points off them in the league tells you all you need to know.
