Totally get those that would rather have the conference over top 4 but it reminds me a bit of the Stanford Marshmallow experiment. 

I’m happy to hold off celebrating a conference league for future success.  

But we’ll do both anyway so it doesn’t matter.

I don’t.  Makes not sense to me.  Need to look at bigger picture 3-4 years down line.  I personally was going mental with my lad when we scored against Arsenal.  Cant see i got off the chair for lille goals

Arsenal are not beating Bayern tomorrow. Feel Dortmund going out was the best chance. Just need to do our job in the league now

Bayern are missing 3 of their main men.  It will be a coin flip

Before games people sometimes debate trying to say x team has an advantage over y team because they had a game mid- week/extra days rest etc but I don't usually buy it much. 

Seen plenty of times where Villa have played against a team who had Europe mid-week yet when the game comes the other team looks fresh and we looked knackered. Arsenal had 2 days extra rest last week yet second half they looked tired and we played like we had a full weeks rest.

Not convinced this 2 week break is good for Spurs tbh. 

They destroyed us with it.  We were wrecked before halftime

He’s on my list as there is no way we could sell mings and I feel a club like us can only have one older centre back in its group of 4.

i think we should be able to get his book value back which is 15m euros

At Mings age, with his injury, he will have a long way back to get close to his best.  

Wtf did the pace come from.  Was new to me in a villa shirt anyway

The addition of four new directors to the Aston Villa board has been confirmed days after a key agreement was cemented.

Over the weekend it was confirmed that the deal between V Sports, the Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens firm that owns Villa, and American investment firm Atairos had been completed, with Atairos taking a minority position in V Sports.

new investment deal it was

Isn’t Palace away? But I agree

Yeah you’re right.  Liverpool is at home.   Way they are playing, might not matter to them come then either

Yes they still.have arsenal, Chelsea.  MSN City and Liverpool to plsy. Its far from.over. if only we csn get a point tomorrow 

So swap Brighton with Chelsea and ours is pretty much similar.  Palace at home on last day is similar to shef utd.

Would rather play Brighton than Chelsea 

Conf league coefficient pts still only worth half the other two leagues are worth?

Yeah, hopefully they've rotated enough to see it through. This isn't a particularly good Real side, their competition is really poor in La Liga this year. 

Bayer and dortmund have played just twice in over 3 weeks as well, just checked.  Going to be tough.

Again.

Fingers crossed they do and theoretically they should.  City having played 4 games in 9 days and real 1 in 9 days doesn’t help.  Prem teams could be vey tired for first legs.

We scored perfectly legit opening goal that was ruled out that changed course of the game. 

Don’t forget the most blatant pen we didn’t get

United should win most of their remaining games - Bournemouth A, Sheffield United H, Burnley H, Palace A are their next 4. Arsenal H and Brighton A are the last 2, with a rearranged home game with Newcastle still to be scheduled.

They should be getting at least 3 wins from the next 4.

We have to play 4 of those teams as well, so technically we should win most of them to then.

Awful awful awful today.  3 goals all came from him. 

Was he just rested tonight?

At least he took Grealish out at end.  Crying and diving the full match 

3 minutes ago, RichW said:

Well they do. Since we play tonight it will be back to us playing 31 and Spurs 30. 

Chelsea is a tough game in hand.  Id bet their fans would take a point if offered

It’s weird isn’t it, that Ait-Nouri chance I just thought “yep standard Emi” but there was nothing standard about it at all

Yeah we just expect it from him now.  Id say he’s got us at least 10pts all season what we wouldn’t have got without him. 

I know this has probably been put on here but whats the fee to sign him.  Surely its not the 40m i read somewhere 

5 minutes ago, PaulC said:

I thought he did offer Moreno support but Moreno was shocking. It's different when you come on for last 20 minutes or so. Zaniolo has been doing well coming on as an impact sub. 

Yeah well thats a constructive analysis and i could be wrong and Moreno was the issue.  Unlike Delphinio and his nonsense comments and nothing to back it up

1 hour ago, PaulC said:

He's a monster. Thought he was the one that got the team going today after such a sluggish start. 

Depends what you are looking at.  Was fantastic running with the ball and carrying it forward but gave Moreno absolutely no support.  If you see my comments since he came, ive high hopes for him but he shouldn’t be starting yet.  Zaniola should be starting all day long and he be good sub when teams are tired 

Clean sheet was massive today.  Give defs confidence 

8 games left.
