Other Games 2025-26

[Toronto Villa]

Brentford above Man U and Chelsea after 21 games.

Man U haven't played 21 games. Stop it.

You alright love? Both Man City and Man U drew. Don't believe in dark magic. Unless it is Man U against us at Old Trafford

They hadn't drawn when you posted. Learn how tenses work.

[PeterWithesShin]

I'm so far ahead they had when I posted...

[dorsetvillian]

Newcastle coming into form before we play them. They love end to end games with no control, just lumping balls into the box. Hopefully we can sort our right side by them...

Hows the Arse v Liverpool game going PWS?

[Mellin]

Really sneaky from Brentford.

[Somniloquism]

Means he misses out game?

Nah will miss the FA Cup unless more than one game ban.

Surely they miss the next game from the competition they were sent off in? No??

No, suspensions for accumulated bookings don't carry on to other competitions but red cards do.

However, apparently Keane was violent conduct so could be more than a one game ban (haven't seen it).

Pulled the players hair as they jumped. Can't see any reason it won't be the three.

Grealish might get more as well for his reaction afterwards. Still thought he was wearing the light blue of Citeh.

Edit: Moyes needs to shut it as well.

Jane is going to be insufferable. ☹️

I know very well how tenses work. My reference was to Brentford having played 21 games and that very moment they were ahead of Man U and Chelsea. Maybe you should have read the post more carefully.

No, you were jinxing. You seem to take some kind of perverse pleasure in it.

Villa are third in the league. You probably think it is because of management, tactics, playing ability, training or some other pseudo-science mumbo-jumbo like that.

Reasonable Villa fans will realise it's down to the tireless work myself and SE are putting in to stop gods-taunting in all its forms.

However, you don't win titles with just two key performers. If we are going to finish even higher we need to be working together and not deliberately angering gods all the time.

Up your game, Toronto.

Simon Stones latest essay about Manchester United is available if you’re interested.  Can’t see ours mind.

I’ll rely on the Almighty power of Emery thank you very much. Not some nonsensical black magic or similar conspiracies of jinxes concocted by you tin foil hat wearers. We will overcome all fears. By the Power Of McGrath we will prevail.

West Ham’s official attendance of 62,429 for their 2-1 defeat by Nottingham Forest was almost twice as high as the number of fans who went through the turnstiles at the London Stadium on Tuesday night.

The club have an increasingly apathetic fanbase and were unable to convince a big crowd to turn out for a crucial clash in the battle against relegation from the Premier League. It is understood the real attendance was closer to 34,000 than the figure given by West Ham on their website.

They've been doing that a lot, I've seen banks of seats in the upper tiers empty before and the given crowd was almost a full house.

It's a reverse Doug.
