If Duff gets a result, do you think Dyche will call him for advice?

Speed dial at the ready...

I like this BBC commentary team. Is is Danny Murphy, the summoriser?

We might not be upset of the week after all.

Enjoying this, that Tozer is having a Duff-esque performance.
Spoke too soon

This will be unbelievable if they can hang on.

Foden has carried City tonight. Too many of their lads haven't fancied it.

So refreshing watching a match without VAR

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Jan 23, 2021 7:17 pm

Gutted

Foden is quality.

Shows the value of the FA cup to us British people. These foreigners with all due respect don't get it hence their performances tonight

Was just thinking the same. VAR would still be messing about drawing lines for the Jesus goal.

dougcollins · Post by **dougcollins** » Sat Jan 23, 2021 7:19 pm

Called it just before Murphy -VAR would have had that offside.

So perhaps Cheltenham would have liked them to mess about drawing the lines.

He's got it all.
Thought it for a while now, he can go on to be an all time football great.

He just has so much natural ability. You can tell he sometimes plays with pressure and stops himself from being himself. But whenever the next major International tournment may be.. he has to start. And give it 3-4 years, he'll be captain.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sat Jan 23, 2021 7:28 pm

Superb performance by City. They just seem to swipe aside anything in their path.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Jan 23, 2021 7:29 pm

Gutted there for Micky.
It was on there right up to almost the end.
Real cup tie.

Yep agree with that Buxton, now it's come on Villa.

I'd forgotten about that.

I didn't realise we go above Newcastle if they lose tonight.

If they hit the bottom three I can't see them leaving.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Jan 23, 2021 8:02 pm

Yellow card for Grealish tonight would be awesome for us. Targett is also on 4 yellows. So a win for Villa and a couple of yellows would do nicely

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Jan 23, 2021 8:11 pm

Real thug is Carroll, isn't he.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Jan 23, 2021 8:14 pm

Yes please. I can't see how anyone would be in a position where they need to pick up a booking against Newcastle though.

Geordies could go down easily

I see Benitez has left his job in China, should Bruce be worried?

Villa can be scarily good at times. V tough game for us on Wednesday.

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Sat Jan 23, 2021 8:46 pm

Aston Villa are an amazing side to watch this season. Outstanding football. What a job Dean Smith is doing there.

dougcollins · Post by **dougcollins** » Sat Jan 23, 2021 8:46 pm

Key to the Villa game is to stop them scoring early.

We score first, we get at least a point.

See where you're at there.
It'll not be easy, but reckon we won't roll as easy as this Mags side.
They really are struggling just now.

Your absolutely right, if Grealish could get himself booked it would help.

dougcollins · Post by **dougcollins** » Sat Jan 23, 2021 8:49 pm

If Villa were chasing the game Grealish is more than capable of a yellow - it won't happen now, unfortunately.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Jan 23, 2021 8:50 pm

Wednesday will be tough, but don't forget we got a result at Villa Park, and we're in reasonable form ourselves, Villa have played well, but Newcastle have been abysmal again.

Steve1956 · Post by **Steve1956** » Sat Jan 23, 2021 8:52 pm

Hendrick might have doubled his take home pay,but is he happy at Newcastle....he certainly dosent look it,bet he regrets leaving the close knit Clarets....to Newcastle who look like they dont give a shite....

Let's hope Mike Ashley doesn't do anything stupid, like sacking Steve Bruce !
