Ahaha Newcastle going down after the behavior of their fans on Saturday, beautiful. 

I have no doubt Newcastle fans were awful because football fans have a tendency to be. But there is a delightful irony at a Villa fan making this statement.

Yeah those dastardly Newcastle fans! Villa's impeccable fans were too busy trying to stop to the game with inflatables. At least they earned their PhD in Bantz in 2009 with huge banners at Newcastle's expense for no real reason!

He's Crackers him, I still vividly remember him being paraded around at Darlington and then doing a runner before signing the contract 

[Benji]

I'll never understand people mocking fans for their team going down. It's a shit feeling even without someone being an arse hole about it.

[Just Joe]

Football will always come with taunting and goading from fans, just part of the game. I'd rather see people winding each other up on Social Media and the Internet in 2016 rather than people kicking the shit out of each other for supporting the other team which was the in thing not all that long ago. 

[Benji]

I know it will, doesn't make it any less shit to do. Why kick someone when they're down?

[Steeb]

To play Devil's Advocate, Villa fans have had quite a lot of it anyway, so y'know, if we can get a ray of sunshine from poking fun at others joining us, so be it.

Plus, the number of Newcastle fans who were acting Billy Big Bollocks when Rafa signed - not necessarily here, but elsewhere it was rampant - there's a delightful sense of schadenfreude to be had there.

[Benji]

I think both/all sets of fans are knobs for it to be honest >_>

[Steeb]

Oh definitely. But it makes us happy knobs for a few fleeting seconds.

Jack Wilshere's played eight minutes of football without breaking anything, get him on that plane.

Speaking of Wilshere, he did a Q&A on Twitter, and it rather predictably ended up with him getting trolled mercilessly.

Pochettino has signed a contract extension, taking his deal to 2021.

[Lineker]

Martinez sacked.

[Adam]

Nice guy, but he has to go I'm afraid. Been a shambolic season, all gone wrong since chucking away the League Cup semi to City.

[Lineker]

Delighted about Poch, obviously. Important to note that he's now the Manager, rather than the Head Coach. Was always on the cards I suppose - with Baldini gone it's now Poch and Paul Mitchell now solely responsible for recruitment. 

[Chris2K]

Danny Simpson won't be allowed to take part in Leicester's title parade or fly out to Thailand because his sentence for assaulting his ex-girlfriend has been changed from community service to a mandatory nightly 10pm curfew, ironically the court appearance was an attempt to get the community service changed because the press kept finding out where he was doing it and turning up to take photos.

 

My heart bleeds. 

[Just Joe]

Can they not confiscate his Premier League Winner's medal too? The fact he has one just doesn't sit right with me.
