In terms of difficulty of opposition, we wouldn’t face any team as good as Chelsea or Newcastle, whom we beat just to get to the QFs. However, having the stamina and squad depth to be able to go deep in Europe while competing domestically does make it a significant achievement for the winner...
Winning a cup would be amazing, and I’d gladly take it over league position (as long as it’s not 18th-20th), but some of the post-match stuff posted on here on Saturday about them suddenly being better than us was a load of bollocks. The league table doesn’t lie after 37 matches, and that’s...
Ferdi has been out of action for over 7 months now, and still no sign of him returning to main squad training (unless I’ve missed some content on the club YouTube). Hate to be negative, but I can’t see him being anywhere near match fitness by the start of next season.

Top half of the table in general has become a lot more competitive; hence the points are more evenly spread. We could end the season on 61 points and still be 4 off of 7th.
Anyone know the stats, but we seemed to have a decent run in the autumn when he got injured, and we’ve improved since he got sent off against Brentford.
Following a season where three of those midfielders have had long-term absences due to injury and three of them have had to play either full-back or centre-back due to injuries and suspensions in defence, then I think that it's no bad thing to be well-stocked in that area, particularly given the...
I wonder if they've relaxed the requirement on the basis that it's a low-demand game and no one is going to buy a new Albion+ membership at this stage of the season?
For what it's worth, my ticket on the exchange was sold yesterday, so there is some demand (probably a plastic scouser).
City only need a point to be above Chelsea on GD, which you’d hope they’ll manage in two games despite being shit yesterday. You’ve got to fancy Villa to beat a tired Man U with nothing to play for as well. This is definitely on.
