The Barclays Premier League Thread 2014/2015

[Gorka]

Solid win over Burnley to go above West Ham, would love a late push for the Europa League spot.

[Summers]

Doomed.

[Baddar]

A comfortable win after a shaky start. It didn't seem like the goal was ever going to come until we got the pen though.

[Colly]

What an awful game of football. Summers is right.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Oh well, at least Southampton lost. Could do with someone dropping away from the top four race a little...as long as it's not Spurs.

[DavidMarrio]

I feel for Villa fans but the team they have isn't good enough and the ownership certainly isn't good enough. Going to be a struggle this year to stay up.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Did Sherwood show any tactical nous today Villa fans?

[Summers]

We were better than we've been under Lambert. First time in a long time I can say "How didn't we score?" as opposed to "I can see why we didn't score".

I think Sherwood could work for us, I just think it's a shame we we took too long to move Lambert on and get a replacement.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Certainly a progression I guess.

Yeah Lambert should have gone far earlier in the season. It was clear things weren't working out.

[Summers]

Sherwood is in a win/win. If we go down, it's not his fault and if he keeps us up he's a hero instantly.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

No wonder he took it/ A historically very big club and no chance of being hated by the fans.

[Summers]

Yeah, eitherway he comes out the good guy and Lambo and Lerner remain hated.

[brenchill]

I think we're done for this season. Shocking how long it took us to get rid of Lamberk.

[Colly]

FYI the big banner in the Villa end only unfurled towards the end when the game was done was 'Too little too late, Lerner out'.

[Mad Jack]

Sherwood is in a win/win. If we go down, it's not his fault and if he keeps us up he's a hero instantly.

Weren't we saying this about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last season?

You know, the now unemployed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer?

[TCO]

That was very different. Solskjaer replaced a pre-racism Mackay who was loved and he had an awful start in the Championship to boot.

Sherwood is in a very different scenario.

If Sherwood does shit in The Championship next year, he will probably be gone too.

OGS was probably expected to get automatic promotion with the squad he had.

[Colly]

Shearer sat next to Gullit pretending he doesn't still hate his guts...

[brenchill]

Shearer sat next to Gullit pretending he doesn't still hate his guts...

Everyone who sits next to Gullit has that problem.

[stokeriño]

I wouldn't.
