Does it matter? They did what they had to do to win. I wish Villa would wake up and start doing what they have to do to win.

The player by player reports on baker, Lowton, KEA and holt aren't exactly complimentary (though pretty accurate).

Of course it matters, if true it is cheating and points at some sort of corruption. It also raises the possibility that we have somebody at the club giving information to the opposition.

Yes it does matter, especially if like Chris said there is someone at the club who is giving out information.

I couldn't quite read it and decided against making the text larger as I was convinced it would depress me.

But everyone knew we were going to lose 1-0 to a late sucker Puncheon and so it proved.  So them knowing the team in advance wouldn't have altered that fact.

Agreed. As for someone leaking information, the club need to start taking a more detailed approach when hiring people then.

The team amazed me when announced. To have that side a day or two in advance is a huge advantage. Something is very off about what Palace seem to be up to.

If Palace got docked 6 points and we got awarded 3 and Cardiff 3 I still wouldn't back us to beat the drop.

I would. Put us on 38 and albion norwich Sunderland Fulham and Cardiff wouodf struggle to catch us.

Oh of course. One further win for us would make catching us a tall order.

[kippaxvilla2]

I would really :-)

The reports on Vlaar and Clark are the same?

I think it's right that Villa and Cardiff be awarded three points each while Palace and Birmingham receive twenty point deductions. Only fair.

What about if the points were taken off Palace, the game replayed and we had their team sheet. Back us then?
