Premier League 2025/26

Sounds like Shaka Hislop may be in a bad way. Sad to hear as he always seemed like a good guy on commentary:

Huh?

It’s the second biggest city in the country and they are basically the only decent club. They’ve probably got the biggest potential fan base in the league.

But does Birmingham and particularly Aston Villa have the structure of the Manchester teams, best London teams and Liverpool ? I don’t think so.
Of course the blue Manchester team were massively inflated over years by enormous money, but I don’t see the same in Villa, so that’s what I meant by “It’s Birmingham. Difficult”.

Yes and no I guess. There’s indeed Tom Brady’s Birmingham, West Brom and even Coventry and Wolves that take a chunk of the support…

Come on Villa!!!

Watkins did great to get the shot away but needed to score.

Bentancur only knows too well :astonished_face:

Arsenal have run into Villa at the wrong time, they’re almost playing as well as they did when they dominated City here.

Villa have to be considered contenders if they win here.

I agree, although I don’t think they are anywhere near strong enough to last until the end of the season.

But they might. Leicester did. So it’s possible, just not likely.

In any case, Unai doesn’t get enough credit for what he has managed to build with Villa imo.

The more teams there are to put pressure on the Arse, the better, imo.

In any case, it’s fun. And the longer the contest goes on without a team getting a big lead, the more interesting it is.

And to say something very controversial (don’t shoot me please).Maybe, just maybe; this season would have been quite different if we had a team pushing us to the finishing line…

Ridiculous, but you’re right. At the start of the season they looked like they wouldn’t ever score again.

Tielemans has turned out to be a quality player. There was loads of sneering about him on here when he was available, shame didn’t nab him. Nice footballer.
