Benitez will (probably) be available after Monday. Would they consider him?
Arf...

Difficult run up to New year
Head says 4 (4 hard earned draws), heart says 8 ( which includes 2 wins)
-
Very sad to read that Sooty. I and others will be there and will certainly joining on the 22nd minute mark. Having that empty seat must be hard on the poor chap.

Was it?
Yes. However, we were below our recent best all over the park
-
We didn't pass the ball around with any pace on it and were slow to switch or move it, especially compared to how we have been since he came in. Disappointing.
And secondly, I'm struggling to understand how we didn't get a penalty first half?
Unfortunately, I'm not sure we deserved much more than a draw

Not that I'm aware, I was being facetious. He will be desperate for a result though, so who knows what he may stoop to.

Mumba is tearing them a new one this first half, they can't get near him

He looks very sharp. Excellent so far

They will attempt to absolutly muller us initially and EH will have pulled out all the stops to make this as difficult for us as he can (temporary changing room, no hot water, light failure etc etc
).
However, IF we can keep them out for the first 20-25 minutes we may have a chance.
A tight, hard won win for us.
I fact as manager of Villa, he has faced them twice this year winning in August at VP and drawing up there in March.

And Gibbs. Wasn't he the lad who was promoted to NCFC from itfc ?

wouldnt put it past the barcley the booed Iwan Robert constantly in his first season everytime he got the ball
Utter, utter rubbish.
He put in a superb performance and was rightly applauded for it.

A confident DS led Norwich will give them a game, have no doubt. If we had won today (which we could and should have done) I would have put hard earned cash on us winning up there as well.
Bring on Tuesday

1 hour ago, VillaFan said:It does appear a little opportunistic as Farke was sacked before Smith. But hey, an attribute of a good leader is to be able to spot a good opportunity and exploit it. The icing on the cake is that you didn't have to pay any compensation
Yes a definitely opportunistic appointment. SW is a straight talking chap and if he says he saw the chance once he knew DS was available, then any other probable was probably pushed down the pecking order immediately, despite what they may say.
Good appointment and I can see him being a city favourite.

10 minutes ago, VillaFan said:When u guys got Smith there were an awful lot of under impressed yellow fans.
There were also a lot of impressed city fans, me being one of them.
I felt that S Webber saw the sacking of DS felt he had chance to get a good manager with a point to prove. And so far it appears to be the case.

Rupp, McLean and Rashica all played superb today and anyone of those could have been MOTM for me.
I have always like Rupp, a neat, tidy and efficient footballer who does a job and in my humble opinion is quite underated. Chap next to me today asked what Mclean brings to the party. He saw what it was, in bucket loads by the end.

If we beat Wolves, we will beat Newcastle.
3-1 City.

The simple truth is that if he comes back and plays like we have seen him do so before, then he is a genuine PL quality standard player and for that reason I am delighted he is finally on the verge of full first team training.

2 hours ago, fetchyafathersgun said:Quite revealing Hanleys post match interview talking about Gilmour saying in training he is the best player on the pitch and therefore in games so he should be the best player on the pitch and destined for great things. For the captain to say that says a lot about confusion for the players under Farkes leadership that he hasn’t played in 2 months.
He (Gilmour) will have his chance now so lets hope he delivers for us.
Pukki? could be a good season for him after all.

I also see un on 16-18 points. However, I also see us gaining a bit of momentum in the new year if we can build on the new start.
I'd rather go to CR expecting a good performance such as yesterdays second half rather than hoping to not be too far adrift come 80 minutes.

There is no need to mess with it.
Spot on. I believe it's one of the only badges without a the team or initials name on it as well.
It stands out

I'd imagine, if we do see a good performance the atmosphere will be a notable change at the end of the match from the last few home games.

18 minutes ago, Badger said:It seems quite attractive to me, TBH, but I'm not sure that it is the best preparation for athletes. If domestic flights were banned' it would be City that lost out, as we have longer journeys (by time) than most other clubs.
They should have been made to go by public transport until they won a game this season. Bonding and real world problems may have galvanised them a bit more.
Especially if they had to stand up on the train, all the way back from the smoke.
No win no seat policy.

2 minutes ago, Badger said:I'm afraid that the 11 minutes is the point though Haus - it would take 2 and 1/2 hours by coach.
That is the point.
Imagine the absolute horror if stuck on a luxury coach for two hours with nothing but comfortable seats, drinks, food, toilets and wifi galore.

3 minutes ago, Hackney Canary said:I do wonder, by the way, if this appointment, if it comes, is a recognition from inside the club that they believe investment is necessary, and is the first step on the path to securing it.
I had exactly the same thought.

Oh dear indeed.
Waiting for the on field decisions after VAR can't give spurs the benefit of doubt
