Isn't that what leads to the cliché opponents riposte post-game of "We pinned-up those quotes in the dressing room which gave us extra motivation to win" ?!“We’d intended to play poorly but when we saw what Dean Smith had said we decided to try harder”.

Of course players don't intend to play poorly but I can't have imagined post-match interviews in the past when a player/manager says they wanted to ram the words of the opposition down their throats etc. It's marginal gains at this level and finding new ways to motivate players is always welcomed by management. I'm not saying it will make a difference, just that it comes across as a tad naive from your cousin to talk about it the way he did.
Just fucking win Villa.
3-0 to saints but only because when I vote a Villa win we lose so I’m hoping for the opposite
Come on the Villa boys! We only have wet spam to play in the current bottom 6. We have only achieved 1 point against the high fliers. If we are to stay up we have to be collecting points (and preferably 3! ) from each of the mid-table teams like Soton. Let's do these today! UTV!
