Konsa's been poor for quite a few games now, I think Carragher had a point about him being the first to blame others whenever we concede.

Konsa just completely standing still watching and not reacting to his man moving.

How does this prick not realise these stories make him look bad and completely unprofessional? With attitudes like that in the squad, it's a miracle Lambert kept us in the league for so long. He's an absolute embarrassment.

My first thought when seeing it was that Truss was lying to give Johnson an opportunity to **** off for 10 days, which is pretty mental that I don't think it's that unreasonable of a thought right now. I'm sure she does have it, but it's bloody convenient that he'll have another excuse to hide when things are getting tough again.

https://theathletic.com/news/chelsea-looking-into-john-terry-promoted-nfts-that-use-club-assets-and-intellectual-property/ULpvNNPB7SHy/?source=twitteruk Chelsea, Premier League and UEFA all looking into whether Terry is violating their trademarks with his NFT bullshit. It does make me wonder if the reason he so suddenly left was becasue the club caught wind he was getting involved in this stuff and didn't want anything to do with it, which would also explain why he's not gone anywhere near an actual manager's job since leaving too. Although inevitably we're gonna see Villa announce their own NFTs soon just to prove me wrong

It seems like the guy in the story is either Herd or Helenius given that they never played for us again after that training camp took place. Herd would be my guess since he was also involved in that nightclub incident along with Collins and Delph under McLeish. I think that influence from the rotten core of Dunne, Collins and Agbonlahor just permeated throughout our squad for those final Lerner years.

I genuinely despise the man, what a word removed he is. Also, a manager arranges a training camp during the season, and the players are going to him moaning that they don't want to do their job? **** me, our squad was so poisonous at that time.

The VAR was Craig Pawson, I'd love to ask him what the difference was between this and Watkins' claim yesterday which he was also ref of.

Go **** yourself Pawson!!! Come on Villa!

**** me, what a save by Pickford, even if Watkins is offside...

Well that's a corner or a penalty...

Feels like Ramsey has a reputation with refs that he's a diver even though I can't remember him ever doing anything particularly egregious, he doesn't get anything no matter how obvious the foul.

To be fair, the guy who first mentioned this even clarified to say it would be when Suarez' contract expired in the summer and not in January.

It's a good job Mike Dean wasn't ref, could've gotten a red

It's always been the case, I remember coming away from games during the MON era thinking that Villa Park would **** hate having to watch Barcelona every week, any time a defender spent longer than 3 seconds on the ball the groans would start and god forbid someone passed back to the keeper.

Happy we got the point against them, but why can't we ever have a normal game against them where the universe doesn't conspire to just **** us over? I'd even take getting absolutely battered by them if it meant we had a game with no dodgy penalties, no dodgy cards, no inexplicable clangers from our players and no biased refereeing, but I swear I have never seen us play them without something happening to us, even when we beat them, they manage to get something dodgy go their way.

I assume that was made for the 2011 League Cup final, otherwise that is just bizarre. It is hilarious though just how much we feature in a video about their special day and just how much they manage to mention us without doing so directly. I wonder how many times they had to re-record the line "we may not have the remarkable history, we may not have the titles and cups" because they kept adding "that them lot have" at the end, before they thought, **** it, well just cut around it.

Honestly, if Gerrard doesn't get our first home win vs Utd in 27 years today, he should be sacked immediately.

It has to go to FIFA because it's a different member association I imagine. Edit - Beaten to it!

Interesting that it's stated as an Academy signing, I had half assumed that he would come in to the first team and be fourth choice whilst playing some occasional youth games

But did Digne put that in his insta story that I was on about?!

Not to piss on everyone's chips buuuut, Chelsea have a lion on their badge too... It ain't confirmed until ITSOTP.

I'll preface this by saying that AFCON should absolutely be respected, is an important international competition and doesn't deserve the scorn it gets sometimes with fans thinking players should just pull out of it, but I can't help think that every tournament something happens which makes the AFC and all the articles about how AFCON is disrespected look like the Alliance of Magicians.

Just a loan according to this guy that Everton fans say is reliable for them.

Makes no sense with the way that FFP works, this way it means that both clubs can technically claim a profit on their books for the transfer.
