  1. Just watched Emi and Ollie’s response and such class. After Emi’s World Cup celebration you think it’s just going to go kaboom but he just douses it with respect and professionalism. Ollie’s that was when I was a kid but I’m all Villa now- WHAM! it’s going to take some editing to get that on message Sky.
  2. Woo hoo I say! Woo hoo! My stomachs still hurts but I have to say we were so calm and smart closing the game out after going 2-0. Tough to pick a POTM but I gave it to Zaniolo for how strong he stayed, held up the ball. My issue has been him holding the ball too long and I started shouting pass it pass it but he surged forward, blew past the players and earned a great corner. Also, to stay on as long as he did with the ground covered was fantastic. What a great game and weekend!
  3. Also a hard game to pick man of the match. Some great moments and crazy moments. Bailey helped turn the game but that back pass scared me and Emi.
  4. What a ride in the second half. Like everyone else, super happy with the win, the grit and standing up for team mates. Need to be smarter though when winning and just minutes to go. Love Emi but so lucky to not get red carded. He’s usually so good at provoking but not being provoked and he just got sucked in. I’m mostly going to miss Kamara playing with Dougie vs Man Utd on Boxing Day. Set to watch with my Dad and kids (massive Villa fans) and my brother who became a Manure fan at the age of 11 because he couldn’t take the Villa rollercoaster. I’m guessing it will be Dougie and McGinn in the middle. We are just so better with McGinn a bit forward and free to deploy the butt as needed.
  5. The high line and fan health issues have a corollary relationship. Exciting- yes! Dangerous for high blood pressure, nausea, vomiting and increased heart rate - also yes! Pass the whiskey please it’s going to be a long exciting season.
  6. Pro: exciting attacking football packed with loads of goals Con: my blood pressure rating by the end of the game and my dog’s anxiety as I yell “he’s got to be offside right!” a dozen times during the game.
  7. Congratulations to Konsa. I was just saying during the Fulham game he is one of the most underrated, unmentioned great CB’s in the premier league. I also love how he is starting to push forward on the right occasions. He had a fantastic goal against Brentford in the summer series.
  8. McGinn phenomenal. Refs decision for drop ball after watching VAR of ball to face bizarre. Would have loved 5-0 which we looked on course for the first 1/2 of the game but well played. Tielemans was much faster then I expected.
  9. Please Martinez. Everything clicks better and the guy has said how much he wants to play for us in Europe. need to get on the front foot with this competition.
  10. You are angering the ghost of Carlos Cuellar’s beard with this statement.
  11. Great result. Bizarre reffing except for the red card. A win over Chelsea is always so savory.the fact Caicedo cost more than all our transfers is even better. The bottom three teams look so poor but I have a fantasy Chelsea get relegated straddled with all these long term deals. We are definitely missing Tyrone Mings. Need someone to be vocal in that high back line .
  12. I could see that but in a 4-2-3-1 with McGinn playing further forward.
  13. I think he’s great to have in the mix. Different games need different players and I could see him being very useful against some of the teams in Europe.
  14. Just went to an MLS game in Charlotte, NC. Charlotte FC with Ashley Westwood vs DC United with Benteke. Years later Westwood is still tidy in possession with no excitement. Makes me love our current team even more.
  15. What’s this? I’m watching pregame coverage and the pundits keep talking about how dangerous Villa are, what a fun team to watch and how good Emery is? What strange planet is this? Alternate reality?
  16. Paramount+ ! They are killing me, we have almost every stream service in the US (many of them to watch Villa) but not Paramount+. It even looks like you can get the Europa League on other platforms just not the Conference…
  17. The sad thing is the team in the tshirt photos is getting smaller and smaller…
  18. We need to go strong in these games. One of my biggest issues with MON was when he sent the team with no senior strikers to play even on the bench. In the hunt for champions league we blew a whole season of Europa after having fought so hard. in European competitions for the first time in so long- make it count.
  19. Good confident performance. Exactly what we needed. I was going to give McGinn POTM but Digne gets so much stick on here and I have to say he sent in some really lovely crosses today. please no more serious injuries. I was hoping Bailey’s goal would help give him some confidence and kick on.
  20. Awesome! Also, the trophy makes a wicked Pina Colada.
  21. Thank goodness- back on topic. More talk of Zaniola, Reverse Turkey positions and triangles involving zaniola, Luiz and Coutinho. I’m staying for now…
  22. Dali scores one for France. Great to see the Villa so represented in the Women’s World Cup.
  23. Preseason top 3 for goals: Watkins 4 goals Buendia 3 goals 1 assist Diaby 2 goals Buendia out
  24. Beat me to mentioning don’t let Martinez near that trophy. With that shape someone could really get hurt.
