Aston Villa won't win the league - Premier League 2024/25

Eriksson was coming to the end of his tenure at Manchester City while on a post-season tour to Thailand.

“One morning when I was on a sun lounger by the pool, he walked towards me with a bottle of champagne and two glasses on it,” Hamann said.

“It was still only 10 in the morning. I looked up and said, ‘Boss, what are we celebrating?’ expecting him to make the triumphant announcement he was staying.

“He turned to me and smiled that gentle smile of his and took the air of a Buddhist philosopher, as he said, ‘Life, Kaiser. We are celebrating life’.”

i can see that working out for all concerned

lol

Chiesa has never looked the part when I’ve seen him but what do I know? He was really highly spoken of for a while, 10m seems like a steal.

he came out of the traps like the next big thing but otherwise all i know of him is injuries

I keep forgetting we have Guedes

it's a real "lads we can't sell" fest tonight

lol yeah

feel like Gary is thinking "please don't make me put in our real players"

xxp

we've signed 2 fringe Wolves players on loan today... going up.. see youse in 2 seasons

heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Guedes did something wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

more Lima's work there though

how Lima doesn't start ahead of Doherty god only knows

after last week, that might change.

though nothing more o_O than Sa giving up 6 goals on only 1.85 xG. sounds like Ramsdale deal is dead though, that they're going to settle for Crystal Palace keeper

at this time i'll take anybody who won't trigger my anxiety every time he goes up for a high ball

i see Hodge is one of the players that's gone to Huddersfield, gotta think he'll be good in League 1

I'll tell you something he seems more useful and mobile than an aging Jonathan Hogg as a reliable DM. He'll do for me!

he had a few Prem starts for us and usually looked tidy, didn't do much wrong just never established himself

that's a lovely counter

yeah nice goal by Guedes. hopefully our actual league match on Sat finds us showing up!

Which match of these five about to start is likely to be most entertaining?

Think I'll watch leicester villa

Big debut for young Lamar Bogarde for Villa, we're getting injury-hit again already

i'm not gonna argue that Wolves will be the best game but i'm pretty sure there will be goals

you'll note i'm not speculating who for

It's certainly some fixtures ripe for defensive errors

well that wasn't a difficult prediction ffs

lol and here we go, this is gonna be a ridiculous season

since he's had his little run in the team i don't think i've heard two commentators pronounce Guedes's name the same way

i don't know if we was psychic with yesterday's transfers but Joao and Mario have both had to hobble off today ffs

well that fizzled out for us but i've just seen the Bournemouth result which was exactly the jolt of laughing gas i needed

What with the Rice red & the Everton embarrassment today has been proper comedy gold

Everton have the stench of death about them

nah Dyche is a pure tease, they'll go on some grim death march round January time and escape once again

christ how will they manage to lose this

fuck me

they were lucky not to lose by more

spursy isnt even in it

marking used be a thing, i know im not imagining it, used to be you'd mark a man in the box, and i know dyche of all managers wont be going along with any fad otherwise

MOTD comms twisting the knife giving out about Pickford preserving a point for Everton

if i had a pro evo master league striker as good as haaland id get bored and sell him, those second and third goals were perfection

He takes the last one so early he's still outside the area ffs

brentford soton highlights making it look a fun game

the latters defence looks....yeah....a little short of epl season readiness

oh that sugawara goal is just the type of thing we like

enjoying villa getting the shit kicked into them

finally some common sense reffing

Veltman must just be on cloud 9 right now, basking in the glow of getting to kick fuck out the guy full force and get him sent off at the same time
