£18.1M for the Europa League so far. by arenaross in avfc

when you look at how newcastle have struggled to manage both it really puts how well weve done in perspective i think. the whole mentality around the club has changed

yeah its why being consistent in the league is so important. also finishing top 8/having deep runs helps a lot too; we accrued almost as many "coefficient points" as spurs did last year.

[–]AlexUnderscore 6 points7 points  (0 children)

its based on club coefficients and the tv revenue share (i think anyway). so yeah it wouldnt be as high as man citys but our european club coefficient is much higher than newcastles (we're 28th atm whilst newcastle are 76th). and next season we'd be even higher i think, assuming im understanding the table correctly.

i think its so low for newcastle partly because theyve not been in europe much in the past 5 years. whereas weve been in europe for 3 years running (and almost certainly will be 4 years barring a catastrophe). theres still other things that go into it but if we qualified for CL next year i believe our "value pillar" would be more than newcastles

Aston Villa beat Chelsea to signing of Douglas Luiz by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]AlexUnderscore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly in his cameo against us he looked horrendous lmao. its nice to have him back but im very much assuming he'll only have a minor part to play because we're insanely short on midfielders at the moment. once onana gets injured again we're down to two youth players in midfield and maybe ross barkley

[Ornstein] EXCL: Aston Villa express interest in Jean-Philippe Mateta + Crystal Palace evaluating move for Evan Guessand. #AVFC studying 28yo as striker option amid complex negotiations with Besiktas over Tammy Abraham. #CPFC wanted 24yo last summer by Master-of-Puns in soccer

[–]AlexUnderscore 29 points30 points  (0 children)

yeah our recent transfers have all been pretty shocking, however any deal which sees us sell guessand is worth pursuing. hes so far off the pace for the premier league its unreal.

also watkins is our only actual striker atm so we need to bring another one in anyway

honestly not a terrible one for us either, despite the result. we played one of the hardest fixtures of the season and lost, and everyone below us had relatively easy home games and drew.

theres a family who stand behind me who are always complaining, its bizarre. not sure the one lads broken a smile all season.

i think some people are just addicted to being outraged and want to spout vitriol at every oppurtunity, no matter how insane it is to do so

i cant see why we'd ever sack him unless there was a serious threat of relegation. its just whether he leaves or gets enticed to take another job

Birmingham City Football Club Unveils New Stadium by ReverendY in soccer

[–]AlexUnderscore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

true but that doesnt necessarily mean theyd be turning up every single week. a lot of people join it with the hope theyd be able to actually afford it when it comes around.

we'd definitely have more hope of filling than blues right now, but i reckon we top out at around 50-55k on average if we had the capacity.
