    Hallelujah ! I was at Middlesbrough and our first thoughts were that Howson was the one going to be sent off. Bloody well should’ve been. We were in complete control so this doesn’t make up for the 3 points lost but at least Borja isn’t banned. We need him playing if we’re to make the playoffs. 
    Really up for the playoff push ! Bring it on ! 
    OTBC . 

    I also thought the red card was for Howson, on reflection I think, Howson should of been yellow carded and a free kick given to us.  I dont want to see 50/50 challenges disappear from the game. 

    I do agree Howson caught the back of Borjas leg, but dont believe there was malicious intent.

    Great to see the decision correctly overturned.

    I remember being in the River end and I'm sure the speakers weren't working,

    I saw Delia come on to the pitch but couldn't hear what she was saying, then I started getting a few text from friends and family asking what was in the Norfolk water.

     This certainly over shadowed the brilliant Ashton finish

    Well, perhaps give him the chance with a side that is relatively injury free?  Sara and Hayden were our two biggest signings who we have barely been able to use, we’ve had 10-11 players missing in games already this season. I don’t know many organisations/teams who could perform at their best with so many people out.

    Could this be the issue, if my memory serves me correctly weren't the Villa fans disappointed when he was sacked as they thought he'd do okay once he got his injured players back?

    Maybe his training is causing some of the injuries? I'm not suggesting Sara or Hayden as they came with the injuries but others are struggling too coincidence?

    If Smith went back to Villa then Emi would likely be playing for Villa, seeing as it was Smith who brought him there in the first place. 

    I knew there would be a **** in my plan, but I think I would of got away with it if it hadn't been for you pesky kids

    To be fair the only thing Emi managed to kick tonight was Fulham players.

    He's missing Teema as much as the the other way round - two very good football minds -  maybe Villa will move for Pukki In January  they need a goal scorer.

    I see people are calling LDC names again! I see things both ways; LDC makes extremely valid points. Others don't agree, citing the obvious - namely Potter 'proving himself at a higher level', 'short career', 'making more £' etc. - as if that's all that matters. Thing is, whatever any of us choose to do in life depends on what we believe & value. To assume anyone believes the same as us, or automatically values the exact same things as us is folly. We're all different - and that's why we each make different decisions.

    Personally, I think Chelsea FC has a notoriously toxic work culture. If Potter had the same values as me, he'd steer well clear because he'd value peace-of-mind more than £. Potter has made a choice based on his personal level of emotional comfort. Good for him - he's having a go & will be well-paid. Maybe it'll work out for him, however my gut feeling is Chelsea are unlikely to achieve Champions League status this season...

     

    A great and well expressed post Mustard.

    Well, I think I managed a couple of weeks last season, so let's try and be a little more reliable this season.

    It's great to see this thread growing again and that's a massive tribute to Nutty's efforts.

    I'll start the season in the depth of League 2 and take AFC Wimbledon to beat Hartlepool. 

     

     For the City match, having watched the game last week I thought we were very unlucky not to take something from the game so am a little more hopeful than most. City to Score in both halves 

    Good luck to both pickers and to all you Pups.
