Grealish falls at the slightest sign of body contact. Looking forward to Martinez again.
Premier League Festive Season
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Whilst I fully agree that the use of terms such as "bin dipper" and "chavs" is both childish and snobbish and therefore to be entirely expected in the pathetic, slow to evolve and tribal world of football fandom, I note that you don't highlight Liverpool fans using the nomenclature "cnuts" despite your team being full of them.
3 times already, 1 a foul?
Did he also call the linesman a "fxcking c!nt" for not getting the throw early on?
Confident start from Villa
Pulisic wasting a great assist from Grealish
So close from Pulisic that Amazon counted it as 1-0
Really poor from Pulisic
Dean Smith has done a great job at Villa. Got them playing really well.
Just saw that.
Villa look good for a win here, imo. They look great on the ball and they're going to get chances. 2-0 Villa, I think.
Every club has dealt with players missing due to Covid. Unless you are suggesting every City player has contracted Covid, I don't see the problem. I can understand calling off today's match as every player will be tested again. But once that's done and unless all players are positive, I think it should be business as usual.
Pulisic is so overrated imo
My understanding was that if you could field 14 players including your under 23 squad you had to play. City should have to forfiet this game as should have Newcastle for missing their game a couple of weeks ago, especially if their players have broken covid guidelines.
As for the semi final agaisnt us, that competition has already set the precedent. Leayton Orient had to forfiet their game agaisnt Spurs due to a number of their players testing positive. The same rule has to apply to City in the semi if their situation remains the same.
Any rivers flowing today......?
The feck is Mendy doing there
What was the chelsea keeper doing?
Just wheel out a free trial on amazon prime.
You can even get a £1 one weeker if you've already done your free trial!
Something for Villa here today.
Hopefully Grealish and Watkins combining.

Surely Grealish will get a move in the summer? He is quality!
@Inigo Montoya has explained in a post on the previous page that it was different rules for the League Cup.
Villa are good. They are.
Mendy
What's the deal with Ziyech at the moment? Is he really struggling with injuries or is there more to it than that? I know it's a rival side, but I was looking forward to seeing more of him.
Injured.
Is it a serious one? It doesn't seem like he's had many games at all this season.
Always think about that ludicrous Nani red card when you see a player with a high boot welly someone in the face.
Then walk away looking disappointed to have given a free kick away!

Always find it funny that if you're doing a overhead kick you're not susceptible to a booking or anything if you kick someone in the head
He got injured in a pre-season game so missed the start then got another (unrelated) muscle injury. Should be back soon.
Mendy seems to look ropier by the week.
What is it with Chelsea and their keepers.

Mendy looks like he has a howler in him
Pulisic should have gotten a yellow, no? Another Chelsea player escaped one earlier as well, when he almost wrestled McGinn to the ground.
Kinda agree. "He didn't know the defender was there". Where else was he going to be?
It's bonkers isn't it. How can going to kick it with a bicycle kick not be reckless?
Yet Nani got sent off for dangling a foot gently in the air.
He looks worse week by week
We all like spectacular goals but most overhead kicks are bloody dangerous stuff.
Should make a huge difference to the way that Chelsea play, imo.
I think I've noticed it so much as when you put someone in your fantasy team you analyse them closer.
Yeah, that dude. Before you go bonkers, know that I’m not suggesting that Harvey Barnes is the next Arjen Robben.
Harvey has in fact hit the keyhole through the barn door — I know it was a long time ago now, but he did it against us this weekend — whereas I really can’t see James making any kind of sustainable contribution to United. James has the pace Barnes doesn’t, but he’s unable to make good decisions with the ball on a consistent basis, which Barnes does. The latter could be a decent squad player for us, whereas it seems highly unlikely that James ever will be.
Watching James lately I don’t think he’s even that fast to be honest, Barnes has a good turn of pace on him.
Damn, those was a good chance for Villa. Mendy can't be dropping that the way he did. He's very lucky.
