Haha, that's why players don't go down the middle despite it being statistically the best option, you look a right knob for missing

Brentford really are a Thomas Frank team aren't they, can't stand them

Where's the yellow for taking off his shirt?

Newcastle a little lucky to have been given a penalty and a little lucky to still have Dan Burn on the pitch and West Ham a little lucky to have been given the opportunity to score a second. 

Nah, that was a classic "pretend I'm injured so the ref stops the free kick" move, ref did well to see through the obvious dive.

Does anyone know if Gordon played for England recently?

Only watched the last half hour but this has been a hell of a game!

That replay makes it look like it may just be studs on his knee? Hopefully

It was clearly going from Moreno's shoulder, Bailey's foot just happens to be on the same line, you can see red dotted line up the back of Moreno although that's a shit screenshot to see it well

Nah, my Dad called me to tell me to put it on after the 7th wicket, and I've just switched off before the latest one, so should get em out pretty quickly

Typical that I was right...

I've only ever seen Villa lose at Wembley and Tigers lost both finals I went to, reckon I should just knock this whole sports thing on the head

Gawd, I hope they do something about the N hanging over the centre the way it is (if all these leaks/guesswork prove correct). My eye is constantly drawn to it.

I’m assuming it’s because “Aston” is a wider word than “Villa” with the “I” being narrow. It’s bugging me that it looks off centre.

They can't do anything about it really, it's just the awkwardness of our name, as you say, Aston is wider than Villa in terms of tracking/kerning/whatever-the-word-is.

If you look at both of the A's you can see they both come to the same point on the shield, the name is centred. It's why AV or AVFC is simply better from a design point of view, it looks more naturally centred.

Who had the 7th minute for Hawkeye mention?

I also cannot believe it. How has it never been done before?

Our attendances since getting promoted is the only time in decades we've consistently got close to selling out every week, even in the MON years we'd average the high 30k's rather than the 41k+ we've done the past few years, if it's possible there's been no point doing it until recently as there wasn't the demand.

If we can get a chance to fall to a forward instead of a full back we might be able to score soon

At **** last Nicolo!

I absolutely love our offside trap! It's just proper organised defending and we're so good at it, I enjoy it more than our attacking some times

What a **** pass from Meatball!

I'm not arguing, but I am confused. Here was a goal Leicester scored against Norwich the other week. Why isn't this offside if it's not about passing forwards?

 

He passed the ball forward in that incident? It looks hard to judge but the Assistant probably just got it wrong

You're not even giving Ireland a chanc?.  If they bring their A game, then they're a match for any team.

I just don't fancy them for it. Probably the third best side in the world, but unfortunately for them I think that means a narrow loss to SA in the pools and then getting knocked out by France in the QFs

This is the ABs first ever pool loss! France have got to be the favourites to win it, even if this is a weaker than usual NZ side, only SA I think get near them

The Belgian press is something I definitely don't miss from Benteke being here, for whatever reason whenever Belgian players go on international duty they end up giving these types of interviews that's as if they don't realise they'll be picked up outside of Belgium, but it's just something you have to get used to when you sign Belgians.

And to be fair, it's not even that bad by Belgian international interveiw standards
