Great result for us tonight. Looking forward to Monday night even more now.

Tasty set of games on Sunday.

Can a mod correct the dates to 27/28 please?

Stupidly excited for the return of FOOTBALL. Should by all rights be wiping the floor with Norwich but I'll never not be nervous.

We will have an agreed draw at Southampton. 0-0 overwhelmingly likely but 1-1 also possible.

Leicester win this and they are points clear again...

Celtic with a red card and a missed penalty to drop two points to Hamilton. :drool:

I haven't watched a single minute of SPL football this year, but Aberdeen remaining within even sniffing distance allows the potential for some serious seething from Celtic fans, which could only be amusing.

Aberdeen don't look too good. Celtic are pretty meh though - stealing players from their own league hasn't really worked out

Are they like bundling them into the back of a van and holding them in Glasgow, or by stealing do you mean signing or buying?

He's bitter about the Mackay-Steven and Armstrong deals.

Lol.

They've been BUYING the better players from a lot of Scottish clubs. Then realised it's Scotland so an awful standard

Christie, Allan and Ciftci all in the last year.

We are on TV again, though I'm actually going to the game, can't beat a good lynch mob.

We will LOSE today because we have a TOUGH game, although we have been playing WELL lately.

I think we are going to get PUMPED by the ARSE again. Just because we beat lower league fodder then a Danish bacon select xi doesn't mean we've turned a corner. 3-0.

I left my coat and Id in Dundee. Lol. What does one do? !

What do you need your ID for? Surely getting drinks is not an issue if you're going to an away with your mates.

Could end up being a disastrous few days as Sunderland, Norwich and Swansea all play two games before we play at Stoke on Wednesday night, where we always play shite.

I reckon West Ham/Sunderland could be a decent game and I'll go Man City to win the cup.

I fear for us. Kinda.

Watching Wolves v Derby. Ye gods.

I'm pretty surprised to see Sigudarson still there, I'm sure he was a major flop under Solbakken which seems an age ago. Props to him for working his way back into the side, unless they literally have nobody else.

Derby had been atrocious and 1-0 down, but Coldplay's Chris Martin just curled in a free kick which the wall/goalkeeper seemed to fuck up quite badly.

George Saville in the Wolves midfield looks good, nice to see the ex Chelsea trainees building a career.

On the one hand Slav :cool:

On the other hand, Sam :(

This is turgid.

Sunderland actually play some half decent football but their finishing is dreadful.

Khazri trying a rabona in the 88th minute, whilst 1-0 down :D

According to the BBC Antonio did this on the pitch as a goal celebration

If so, that's amazing.

That's fucking great. :D

Ah, there's the obligatory Shane Long goal against us.

We actually have some good players (albeit some of them are new/haven't played much), but there's just something missing. Usually it's defensively as opposed to scoring. We concede too many really soft goals, and that's cost us again today.

Atletico are 1-0 up at Real Madrid in the derby, and they never concede goals, so it's basically all over.

Real Madrid heading squarely for third if so.

You seem to have had that problem for years now. Stupid back passes and just a fundamental lack of sense from the defence.

Or 4th. :drool: Villarreal home to Levante tonight, 5 points behind them.

Leicester. :drool:

Keep going lads.

Sounds like daylight robbery from us. The best kind of robbery.

Sanogo hatrick :cab:

Everyone's in shock.

Alright, lads. That's another week of us still being in it.

On behalf of Aston Villa and I would like to welcome Sunderland and Norwich to the Championship party.

Ulloa! :cool: Top of the Premier League, bet he can't believe his luck.

That Antonio celebration is the best thing ever.

Ranieri's sitting there in the dressing room with a hypnotist.

"You are in a relegation battle. You are fighting for your lives..."

Lanzini(?) standing there like 'wtf' is my favourite bit. :D

:D You'd think he'd have rehearsed in training but the fact nobody seems to know what he's doing makes it even better.

Last minute winners when you're not playing well, sign of champions. :nodd:

Apparently the story behind the Antonio celebration is that he suggested it to a couple of teammates last night but neither thought he would have the balls to pull it off.

Fucking kudos lad.

:cool:

Palace are trying to get themselves relegated.

OH HIS NAME IS LEONARDOOOOO

I'm absolutely buzzing. Moreso than the Man City away win and others I think. I genuinely think we can do this.

I thought this game was going to be a shitter so I swerved it.

Now that I've turned it on we'll be treated to turgid shit.

:D

Bit further than he expected.
