West Brom have hit meltdown

It's the first game of the season hun.

Against a the weakest team in the league

about time Bolton came back up

Charlton throwing away a chance to further heap misery on Sunderland :(

**** off Grimsby!!!!

Tbf that would be a team like Rotherham that are the weakest team in the league.

Bolton are more on par with teams like us and teams like Reading, Ipswich, and Forest.

And to change the topic to the Blues for a second, I was happy with our performance yesterday as we actually showed some fight and some actual goalscoring ability, if Trueman stays in goal and grows a bit of confidence as the season goes along we might be able to push into a top 12 position, but it's best not to get my hopes up too much yet as it's still so early, but I think that we're dark horses going forward if we can keep playing like that going forward.

Lampard getting spanked my the old master Bielsa.

Derby looked ropey against Reading defensively, Lampard needs to tighten it up as it's a real weak spot for them.

Two days to go until we face Swansea.:dance:

My prediction is that we'll win 1-0

Not West Brom destroying QPR

Everybody's destroying QPR at the moment.:laugh:

And after that result against Bolton I think that the attention has to be taken away from the players and the Manager at this point and we have to start criticising Trillion Trophy Asia, ever since they've took charge of us and sacked Rowett we have just gone on a downhill spiral.

I really feel sorry for Monk as he hasn't been given a fair chance with this Embargo put on the club, and the players that are currently there can't help not being good enough, where as the owners can help being financially secure and making sure that they hire decent Managers for the club which they seem to have failed at on every occasion, they need to leave if this great club can be restored back to it's workhorse standards once again.

If really get a 12 points deduction then the fans need to get a consortium going to get the club away from those corrupt bastards hands if we are to ever be a stable club again.

I apologize for turning this thread into a Blues discussion thread, but these owners have been bothering me for two and a bit seasons now and they are ruining a great club imo with a proud history of a never say die attitude and it's slowly going away as the club and us fans are facing humiliation.

We did it!:cheers:

I clearly see that the Referee is not just colourblind to give Aston Villa a goal kick instead of a corner kick to us, he also spots a foul on Tammy Abraham from Michael Morrison in the penalty area just after Abraham had shoved Morrison away from the ball.

Incompetence doesn't even describe the Referee today, a definite suspension is in order for him imo for not officiating one of the biggest games of the Championship season properly, I mean being fair Kieftenbeld was lucky to have stayed on the pitch as well with his constant mis-timed tackles. The Referee didn't know what he was doing.

Having said all of that though, we were ropey today defensively and I'd say that the Hutton goal was virtually unstoppable unless you wanted one of your players to possibly get sent off.:laugh:

How did Grealish play ??

He got Villa a lot of free kicks, a talented player but he lived on the floor imo.

I can't wait for 3:00:dance: I just hope that I don't get let down as I think that we have a great chance at winning today.

how does Kieftenbeld play for you guys?


i know him from FC Groningen, he was also captain there while still being a young talent

This aged well.

I rate him really highly.

He can make some rash challenges sometimes, but he gives 100% to every game imo.

:clap1: :clap1:

one of our underrated dutch talents then, who we at dutch national team don't give a chance

*cough* Koeman a trash coach wbk :laugh2:

Aren't you guys still in with a chance to win the Nations League tbf? But I do agree that it's a shame that your country has never given him a chance at International level as he very rarely has an off game for us and the Championship is a difficult league to play well.

I want to discuss my opinion on today's game in the most fair way that I possibly can (away from the Grealish stuff as I've already discussed that on it's own thread) so anyway here it goes.

Blues were woeful, really truly woeful, we once again froze against Aston Villa who they themselves weren't amazing, we took until Craig Gardner came on of all people to start creating chances for ourselves which by the time we started to do that the game was nearly over, a real opportunity wasted there to try and get into the play-offs imo.

Now the things that were out of Blues control.

1. We should've had a penalty as Hause (I think that's his name anyway) pulls on Adams in the penalty area and stops him from scoring, admittedly Adams went down a bit easily, but at least one of the Referee, Linesman, or the Fourth Official should've noticed the foul on Adams, if VAR was in use it would've been 1-1 today.

2. Villa should've gone down to 9 men at least after the constant elbowing of Jutkiewicz at the side of his head, I am honestly amazed that the Referee didn't get at least one red card out for such barbaric challenges on one player.

3. The slightest touch on one of Abraham and Grealish and they'd go down to the floor like they were dying, again the Referee didn't do his job and book them for diving.

4. Sky Sports should rename itself the Villa Channel as they were not impartial from the first whistle, absolutely disgraceful coverage.
