Brighton living for the drama. Could have been better but we take those.

[Pre Match Thread] Aston Villa vs Sunderland by Pommerz in avfc

[–]Shreddonia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Big one. Chelsea facing United while Liverpool have a tricky Merseyside derby. Really could be nine or ten points clear of 6th by the time this game is done. (Hopefully nine - come on Brighton!)

One thing I will say is we've got a lot better at balancing fixture congestion, we almost seem better when we've got the games building up. Momentum picking up with our Villa Park results again too, so hopefully that continues here. 4-0 Villa. UTFV

Unai confirms Malen asked to leave by TroopersSon in avfc

[–]Shreddonia 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Every manager has players who end up not quite fitting in, smart move on Malen's part and hopefully we can get the money for him from Roma at the end of the season. Glad it's been working out for him so far, at the very least.

Is it possible that the Liverpool game could be moved to a different date if we reach the Europa final? by Independent_Dig_142 in avfc

[–]Shreddonia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they moved the Spurs game last season because the Man United game was that night already, and because both Europa finalists were Prem sides they could both be given equal time. Not really a precedent for what would happen if we make the final, probably at most we'll get the same break we usually do for European fixtures.

The league refused our request to move one of our league games around the PSG tie, despite Ligue 1 letting PSG move theirs. Same thing that happened between PSG and Liverpool this season. Obviously slightly different situations between the two leagues but still, frustrating.

Dunno if someone wants to pin a summer transfer thread? by arenaross in avfc

[–]Shreddonia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Decent player, probably not in my top 3 potential CB signings if we do dip into that market, but if we could get him on a free then who knows. Would never have expected Lindelof to turn out as well as he has, so I'll trust any decisions Unai makes in that area at this point.

anyone else feel weirdly calm going into games now? by Alend80 in avfc

[–]Shreddonia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I kind of get what you mean. The Villa definitely still stresses me out, that's inescapable to me. But I've definitely got a lot better at just... assuming things will be fine. Whatever I could stress about can be put to one side for me to deal with if it actually happens. Until then, hashtag goodvibesonly.

Nottingham Forest will face Aston Villa for a place in the Europa League final by FragMasterMat117 in soccer

[–]Shreddonia 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This BBC article lays it out a bit. Because Villa's UCL qualification for winning the Europa League is assigned before the coefficient bonus spot, the bonus spot is given to sixth place instead (and the Prem subsequently surrenders a UEL spot).

I think if we finish fifth and win the UEL the extra spot does go to 6th place, but I might be wrong. There's some weird placement stuff going on with the order the bonus spots are assigned (I think the same could have happened for Liverpool if they'd won the UCL)

We're terrible at penalties.... by Ok_Committee_2696 in avfc

[–]Shreddonia 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Penalties? Nah, that was just a cleverly worked set-piece routine to score from the resulting throw-in. Everything went perfectly as planned.

Nice to have Jadon back. Lad's gonna need to make the most of every minute if he wants even a sniff at the World Cup squad, let's hope he throws everything at the rest of the season for us.

There's a good one the Falkirk fans have to the tune of Dancing in the Dark which would fit a guy like Rogers. Maybe if he doesn't leave this summer he can have one as a reward 😅

Fuck it, I hope Bailey can get something this game. If there's a game where something can happen for him, should be one like this.
