What is this season?!

So you return from snatching victory out of the jaws of victory down south to face the scousers again only a few days later in their back yard, representing the 3rd game in a week, what with Europe. I went to the pub with my bro relatively optimistically and then that happened! Words that sprung to mind were: 'bollocks!', 'what the fuck!', 'you must me bloody kidding me!' Now I know we have got some older legs and that is 300 minutes of football in 7 days, but it still can't excuse that!

They had more fight, more belief, more motivation, more energy, more tenacity, more tactical awareness, more hunger, more desire, more swagger, just more! MUCH MORE!, and it was thoroughly depressing to watch! That is why he must go and soon I can put this two year axe I've been grinding back in the shed for now, knowing it has fallen and done what was needed! I don't want to say much more on this game or Grini apart from what the hell were those substitutions??!!

Anyway the weekend comes and thank god is bottom of the league and my god are they bottom of the league! They stank and the stench was so putrid we could smell it on the third tier! So bad we could even get away with 4,4,2 with Yaya, after his mid-week rest.

I genuinely felt sorry for the villa fans as I know how it is to helplessly be watching something like that unfold! Their team has already given up, the players don't care about villa it's plain to see, behind the scenes I imagine they are scrambling to deal their way into another premiership contract where the majority will undoubtedly just suck the positivity out of whoever is brave or foolish enough to give them another chance. Villa represent an old model of buying misfit has beens and untested foreigners (mainly French), that are only good for that piss poor league! We all now know that doesn't work and surely: the Leicester's, the Southampton's and the Bournemouth's etc have taught us there is another way! And thank God there is, because who the fuck wants to support that pile of shite running out for villa, it must be so soul destroying!

Even then however we couldn't get are act together in the first half with Bony showing how utterly useless he has become this season! For the life of me I don't know why he didn't start with Iheanacho!

The second half came and we finally caught a break for all our pressure and thankfully the flood gates opened as Villa showed their fragility and soon capitulated making stupid defensive decisions after stupid defence decisions, that saw the goals start to flood in, however they came! So we win 4-0 and the second half was entertaining but really it tells us nothing of where we are at!

So Norwich tomorrow and who knows! Yes they aren't great but it's that time of the year, they are fighting for their lives and fuck knows what city team will turn up! Then Kyiv soon after (hopefully we have done enough in the first leg!) and then only a week till the Derby, it's a big one even though we are both playing shit, I am already nervous and Jesus we better bloody beat them!

Anyway let's see what will happen and if the premiership has taught us anything this year it is: 'who know's what the hell's going to happen?'
