I was a Villa fan while at uni in Birmingham but only because Debbie, some drunk floozie Villa supporter at my local pub up the Hagley Road would let me cop a feel of her tits. Pub was probably chock full of Villa supporters come to think of it.

I used to go to a "pub" on Hagley Road when I was in Brum on business. Not many Villa supporters but, plenty of Steaua Bucharest and Flamengo. Think it was called Spearmint something.....

Way up Hagley Road? Mitchells & Butlers place? Around 1976?

6th cousin of mine used to own the Ivy Bush on Hagley Rd in 1830's (when Debbie was in her prime

The weekend of reckoning has arrived, and I am nervous .... 6 points, just 6 measly points from these 2 games is all we ask, and we are on the brink.

C'mon Leeds.

That means 2 wins no?

Villa's on a roll tho'...

Oh dear ! Not many would have predicted Wigan winning at Leeds....Sheffield United second now on goal difference.
Last 3 games....
Leeds....Brentford (a) Aston Villa (h) Ipswich (a)
Sheff U....Hull (a) Ipswich (h) Stoke (a).
I think the Leeds v Villa game will be crucial.Beat them and it will be automatic promotion....lose or draw its the play offs....wont be easy.

Peterhead managed a couple of draws on their last two outings, the most notable one being against their nearest challengers Clyde and now have a 4 point lead at the top. Edinburgh have gone off the boil so with fixtures against lower-order teams remaining, it's the blue toon's to lose IMHO. Only the champions get direct promotion to League 1 while 2nd, 3rd and 4th get into messy 2-legged playoffs with the arse-ender from League 1. It was those playoffs that saw Peterhead dumped out of League 1 in 2016/17.

I am feeling like a fish - totally gutted.
I don't fancy our chances in the playoffs.
Yesterday Leeds played like it was 11 players who had only just met.
But we carry on.

36 shots in 90 minutes tells it's own story. Truth is, on any other day, we would have won, in spite of a few "headless chicken" performances.

I said before that I expected play offs and, would fancy our chances against any of the teams potentially finishing 6th. WBA and Villa will battle out the other semi and, at Wembley, I would pick us to put in a big performance.

Regardless, it has been a season to remember and it will be the EPLs loss if we spend another season in the Championship

Thanks for the reasoned debate 747.

Just watched last night's MOTD. Last 2 games were Hudds v Watford and Bournemouth v Fulham. Nothing at stake and, all plastic clubs. Substitute Leeds for any of those teams and, you would get more interest, substitute Norwich or Sheff U and, it would make no difference.

Got to agree on the subject of the so called BIGGER clubs playing in the EPL ..

Taking many factors in to account such as stadium , loyal fan base and finances here are DMs top 10 UK biggest clubs , not in any particular order except the bottom two as i was a bit unsure if to include them as they dont really have any credible opposition in the League they play in .

Man U
Liverpool
Man C
Chelsea
Arsenal
Spurs
Scunthorpe Utd
Aston Villa
Leeds
Celtic n Rangers SPL

There are some clubs that are borderline BIG

West Ham
Newcastle
Sheff Wed

There are clubs that are mid tablers never gonna threaten to win owt but never in the relegation scraps (thats why the Leicester EPL win was so incredible)

Everton

Then a few ok on the day clubs

ALL the EPL ones ive not mentioned

THEN...The rest are really just also ranz .. and do they really light up the league they play in NO

Huddersfeild
Brighton
Cardiff

Then there are clubs that really should just fold ..

Grimsby Town

DM

That was a pretty long post just to get a dig at Grimsby

Post by **stattointhailand** » April 22, 2019, 1:42 pm

Biggest game of the day ........ has to be Solihull v Orient

3rd (84 pts) v 1st (87 pts) with Salford 2nd on 85 pts waiting to pounce ....... and only ONE automatic promotion

Post by **stattointhailand** » April 22, 2019, 11:30 pm

Solihull 0 - 0 Orient and Salford lost 0 - 1 home to Fylde so Orient 3pts up (and +5 GD) with one game to go $\:D/$

Elsewhere Scunny remember their boss telling them they are as good as Man Utd .... and prove it

Norwich are trying to emulate Brighton by doing their best to hand the Championship Trophy to a rival

Blunderland are trying to earn a few bob more by taking part in the playoffs
