Sturdy performance after a terrible few weeks . keep Barkley out of the team and we will flourish, even without Jack.

We were inconsistent. We had some decent displays mixed in with some poor ones. But there was nothing terrible about our last few weeks. We played a lot of games in a very short period of time coming after we were shut down as a club and dropped maybe a couple of spots overall in the process.

Agreed. Can't have been that bad, it didn't even warrant a Statement.

The Bielsa fair play thing needs to be balanced with him having to apologise for employing someone to spy on an opposing teams training session.

Doubt if it would’ve happen if DS, JT and all the staff hadn’t turned on Bielsa and his cronies

I still can't quite get my head around the fact that they got a fair play award for that match, a game in which their terrible sportsmanship led to the incident in the first place, and they then had a player retrospectively banned for a truly heinous bit of play acting in getting somebody sent off. If I went and nicked the takings from our local newsagent, I wouldn't expect an MBE for giving them back!

It's been like that for 30 odd years. Elland Road is absolutely shite.
I'm not sure what's the more embarrassing for them, Bellend Road or Leeds-Bradford Airport which is, by a fucking mile, the worst airport I've ever been to.
As a erstwhile regular user of LBA, it has its advantages; although, admitedly, its recent efforts to expand and upgrade have been atrocious.

Fun factoid. LBA is Englands highest airport and yes, what a shithole.

Worst airport for me was Moscow in the 1980s, about an 8 hour wait for a connection.
Most unusual must be Barra in the Western Isles of Scotland. Planes land on the beach when the tides out.

Worst for me was the Havana domestic terminal in the mid 90s though still not as grim as the 50s era Soviet planes we boarded.

In a similar vein to Barra, Donegal airport is supposed to be very nice. Never been, one for when 'normal' returns.

Keflavik, serving Reykjavik is a stunner.

Another one on the 'normal' list. Never been to Iceland but I've heard the scenery is very easy on the eye.

I haven't used Donegal airport but I have seen it.  We were up there for a few days break a few years ago and on one of our drives came upon it purely by accident.  It really is lovely, as is most of Donegal.

Sligo airport, although no longer used for commercial flights is also nicely situated in Strandhill, but you'd know that anyway.

So, it has two things in common with The Hawthorns. (Highest league ground in England at 168.3m above sea level)

Incidentally Villa Park comes in 19th at 105.8m.

Villa have proven time and time again what they are all about.

If we lose to these cheating, unsporting, scumbags it changes nothing as we'll always be on a different level to them class wise

The lack of self awareness this lot possess is mad. At least Millwall know everyone hates them.
