I want to see mediocre Mourinho as head coach of a mediocre team. The same with Guardiola, they are not brave enough to work with bad teams.

Spurs lose a good game, Bruins (NHL) lose to Dallas, and ****tewart is leaving the "Daily Show." Not my favorite day.

I cannot type "Jon" "Stewart" on this forum?

Of course QPR and Hull would win the day after I tip them for relegation - but that's what I mean about that clutch of poor clubs - appalling results for Sunderland and Aston Villa. Oh well, I'll stick with it even thought its hard to make a case for Villa at the moment - morale is lower than at any club in the history of the world.

Wouldn't we all but it just doesn't work like that. As long as you are successful, you work your way up the ladder or go on to manage another top club. Even someone who has won it all in the game probably wouldn't want to try their hand at building a club up at the risk of it not working out and diminishing their impeccable reputation.
 
Villa are going down. They can hardly ever fucking score. The points totals and one or two early results make their position look stronger than it is right now, but when all the teams around them are picking up the occasional win and they're battling to even get a 0-0 draw because they can't fucking score, they'll realize the trap door is yawning open beneath them.

Villa since December :

0-1 Palace (A)
2-1 Leicester (H) - Clark, Hutton
0-1 West Brom (A)
1-1 Man United (H) - Benteke
0-1 Swansea (A)
0-0 Sunderland (H)
0-0 Palace (H)
0-1 Leicester (A)
0-2 Liverpool (H)
0-5 Arsenal (A)
1-2 Chelsea (H) - Okore
0-2 Hull (A)

Look at the string of 0s and in particular some of those results, and tell me that's not form that screams "can't hack it in the Premier League any more." They're fucked.

They're awful to watch too, they play an extremely slow game centered around keeping possession but that's useless if you don't get the ball into the box, look at Sam Allardyce's teams over the years, they're direct and as a consequence they'll always get chances. Heck look at Liverpool this year, the last 6+ games they've stopped dominating possession but they're scoring more and conceding less. Ok sure Villa's finishing has been awful as well but its rare they have more than a single player looking to get on the end of a cross or trying to run past defenders. Paul Lambert doesn't seem to know how to fix it either as its continued for too long. Villa are good enough to stay up and score far more goals than they currently are but they need to up the tempo when they have the ball.

Well, now he's been sacked. Yet another vacancy for Tim Sherwood to be linked with and not get. Don't know who would want to take it on in all honesty.
 
I think Tim has the best chance of anyone of keeping Aston Villa Nil up. We were a 1 or 0 goals per game team in 13-14 before Sherwood replaced AVB, he got us winning again and we netted 3 goals or more in 9 out of Tim's 22 league matches at the helm, and the biggest threat to Villa staying up is that they haven't been scoring enough. Not saying he'll do it, but he has a chance.

Jon and the first letter of Stewart is a fragment that is on the word filter for reasons to do with some site, probably concerning piracy. It is especially annoying to remember when participating in the Game Of Thrones thread and wanting to type the full name of Mr Snow.

New ebook available soon: "From Goat to Hero in Two Seconds" by Harry Kane.
 
Some fans shown leaving the ground with two minutes left - fuck you. You never leave early. Anybody that has supported Spurs for ANY length of time should know this. NEVER. Last March some people were shuffling past me on 87 minutes to get away from the Southampton game at 2-2 and I literally told them "You're going to miss the winner" - and they did. At Villa Park earlier this season two bellends that had been stood next to me and had done nothing but complain all match, left on 80 minutes at 1-0 down and missed the comeback for a 2-1 win. Today, the BT cameras caught people leaving with two minutes left - MORONS. Never leave a delicately poised game early. If you're 3-0 down and want to miss some traffic, maybe, but never when there's only one goal in it. Utter retards.

HARRY, HARRY KANE!

Never understood people leaving before the end of matches. Anyone who does and misses something spectacular deserves all they get. Problem is, they can make others who do actually want to watch the game miss key moments by making either you or the rows in front stand up so they can get past or by standing in the fucking gangway - obscuring people's view until the current passage of play reaches its conclusion when they finally decide to sod off.

They could conceivably miss the greatest moment in football history. "Oh yeah, I was there - had a ticket an' all - but I missed it 'cos I didn't wanna get stuck in traffic."
 
I wonder if Man City will get top 4

Easily, there's no way Liverpool or Spurs will catch them. If anything I'd expect the gap to widen as City can't really play any worse with the players they have.
 
Nobody outside the current top 4 are consistent enough to make up the difference. Plus City have still got to come to the Lane, so that will be another three points between them and us.
 
City turned out all right, surely Liverpool can't catch Man U, can they?

Even as a Liverpool supporter I seriously doubt they'll pass Utd's current point total let alone what they'll add over their remaining games.
 
Looking forward to the Champions League final, could be a good one, Italian teams are strong in finals, they have the right state of mind
