  1. Southgate and media would be thinking that he failed to win the game for Villa, whilst Toney made a positive impact as a sub to force a 3-3 draw

     

    Congrats Ollie, hope you told our defence how you felt today!

    Think there may be some crossed wires here. I wasn't saying we're bad at holding onto 2-0 leads, and especially this season we've been on the whole very good. My point was that the number of times we have been 2-0 up and thrown it away in the Premier League era does seem rather high.

    Fair point if you are talking about the whole PL era, but then again I don't have the stats myself but I would think most PL clubs apart from the scum 6 minus spuds would say they have been there before.

  3. I'm half glass full most of the time, but let's say we 'do' end up finishing 6th, and not winning the conference cup, is it that bad of a season?

    If someone told me mings and bunedia won't be playing at all this season, Kamara out for half of it, JJ basically played 3 games all season, lose 5-1 on opening day. But we would finish one place above last season. Is it that bad?

     

    Of course I would still be gutted given the year we had in 2023, and absolutely hope those who thinks 5th is almost a certainty with a UCL spot are spot on to their prediction.

  4. Just thinking, are we really bad at being 2-0? It happens in fairly quick succession, today, away Vs Luton in mind. Then of course that shit show at the theatre of sleep. 3 games since Xmas sounds bad, but if I extend it say from Emery's reign, then may be that's it? Just those 3 games? And of those games, fair to say we are unable to fill a stable strong team?

     

     

    Not an excuse of today's shit show but hopefully another kick up the butt to the defence and hopefully Cash will be back soon as an option.

    Last night, Utd conceded 15 fouls, gave away 2 penalties and one of their players very aggressively told the touch judge to FO. They received one yellow card. If that had been another team, I’m sure they would have received 4/5 yellow cards. It was ridiculous. The same ref gave Chelsea 3 yellows from 7 fouls. The inconsistency is insane.

    Its madness they get away with it so much - and no one is actually looking into. You would have thought by now other clubs will flag this sort of thing to the Useless Monkeys Association (PGMOL).

     

    Luiz is on 9 yellow cards already, and Maguire i think its only on 4!

    If we get a bid of £35/£40 million for him in the summer, I'd take it. I doubt anyone will pay that sort of money now unfortunately, given his injury problems, but he is definitely a player I would be looking to move on.

    Shame, as there was a brief period last season where he kooked like he could have been a good player for us, but I really think we have moved on in the time he has been out.

    Anything we get for him will be pure profit too as he is an academy player, and that will not be lost on the board.

    I'm pessimistic and miserable most of the time, but wow!

  7. Like many here gaming defo is one of that was lost. Especially on football games too, would be great to have the old PES back, or even a simple sensible soccer with today's Villa, that would be interesting. Never and won't go with whatever they call with silly football cards, nor online footy game Vs say Burnley who starred KDB, Salah etc up front, just feels wrong. Use your Brownhill and O'Shea instead!

     

    Cinema another one, I think netflix and the likes have unfortunately changed me, I would rather be in my comfort seat and munching chilli nuts, drinking my wine, farting when I needed to without caring about the noise or disturbing others.

    absolutely this

    you don't do your dirty washing in public

    it's borderline showboating and it reminds me of when Phil Brown kept the Hull players out on the pitch for the half time talk.

    some things you just don't do and this is one of them.

    I would be mortified if Unai did something like this (i doubt he ever would as he's got far too much class to sink to that level)

    Actually didn't he down something similar to Digne a few weeks back? Although context seems to be different?

    The negative comments about the dullness of the game are quite comical, tbh. 

    I mean, it's not like we haven't looked dull in certain games. Forest was one that definitely stands out.

    Why comical? It was dull, not sure how else I could spin this? No way I will go onto the tactical masterclass or match of chess play.
