You're the dictionary definition of deluded.

Or you're on a massive wind up.

Why?

No, he just has a different opinion (and no I don’t agree with him) doesn’t mean he’s deluded or on a wind up.

Yep with 70 odd points and Cardiff to come. If we were 10 point ahead of 5th I wouldn't be popping champagne corks.

10 points short of the play offs with 105 points to play for was so difficult a gap to close that you, and a few others, have said people who thought we could make the play offs last season were deluded, and yet now you act like it's nothing to worry about, at least try to be consistent.

well it's the point of us winning 4 games to make up the 10 points difference while they go on a blose type run of form

We're a much better side this season. It's why we're 5th and not in the bottom half. I am consistent Paul, I turn up every fucking week and I always will; I say what I see without an agenda.

Not just Cardiff though. Bristol (won 4 in a row) and Derby (won 5 out of 6) would have to too.

Stop the league now. I won't bother turning my engine on and we can all just go back inside and get the 1st leg of the play offs sorted tonight.

yep, we'll see what cardiff do tonight, but if they win i'd say the automatic promotion boat has left the dock

We won't be promoted with Bruce in charge. We can't beat teams in the top 6. Though hopefully we will next week-im flying in from Tokyo for that one.

And the teams that we're trying to catch up are scoring more points per game than the ones we were trying to catch last season so actually it's a harder gap to close this time.

Leeds and Sheffield United were above us. We were above Bristol and Derby. It will fluctuate.

I'm sure there's a bus we could chuck ourselves under and save some bandwidth. Fuck me.
Your man is condemning us to another season in this division.


Is there any cheap flights I can Percy into O'Hare. My man? Bore off.
Pathetic

You really fucking are. Like I said bore off.

Bore off? If you insult every post that differs from yours, you are probably the bore (and rude at that)



I don't insult every poster. I think Chicago is a whopper but I'm trying to be polite. It's hard. Really fucking hard. Being sat with my engine off on a car park having not.moved an inch in freezing east Midlands bumpkin land having seen us lose and then dealing with an...individual like Chicago is a test.

You were talking shite and surely know. Pining for RDM...bloody hell.

I'm not pining for anybody. I just think, in the end, Di Matteo would have had us in a better position.

How many Bruce signings have proved a success? Terry? Good move but that wasn't a shock to me. Everybody knows his pedigree.

Bumpkin land, I'm sure the people of the East Midlands were honoured you visited their county.

Ads your attitude and I am sure support for the team home and away can not be questioned, but we all see games in different way's, I am sure your support is not a 'this season thing', but we have had our expectations lowered over the last decade, I do not expect to see a Villa team go out without a recognise striker, I do not expect us to see a Villa team be happy to wait for a team to make a mistake, I expect us to force them into that mistake.
I have seen us lower than what we are now and playing alot worse football, but never in perspective to the amount of money that has been spent and I have also seen alot better managers that Steve Bruce been walked around the garden for alot better return on the clubs investment.

Who cares about any of those teams though? I wrote about the gap between us and the top 2 not about which other teams aren't good enough to be there.

I can see last week and this being the start of a dismal run, but I hope I'm wrong. Bruce is limited but injuries have really done him in.
