    Then it will be some era.......I have to say, it's getting very exciting. I was so heartened yesterday, on how many players could claim MOTM. I feel like a special mention for Tielemans is in order, such a good player, in transition.

    ditto.

    I think Rogers is lighting the touch paper......He is bringing in, so many of our players in to dangerous positions...and love his strong running. Tielemans is also playing with such a classy swagger. it all bodes well.

    That goes some way to explain what kind of striker he is......many strikers, don't do assists. Such a complete forward, a true thoroughbred....a real specimen of a footballer. and when you factor in, his ever present fitness record...wow. He is a gem..........and he is our gem. Ps I think he has eclipsed Jack, in value to us.

    purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect.

    growing in confidence, all the time.....I see similarities with him and Cole Palmer.

    I always find it difficult to fully comprehend fatigue.....it seems to be more of a modern game issue. I can see us playing slow, or sluggish, but remain unsure, as to the reason. It didn't seem to be as talked about, years back, for a variety of reasons....other than just too many games. This is going to be a tough one...and teams will be aware of our aims, and try to spoil the party.....patience is key. crowd need to be up for this one....and stay with the team.

    I am not telling you how to be a fan, and what to be interested in, its ok, if you like that sort of thing. I trust the club, to manage its affairs.....and don't like drifting in to area's. I feel, don't concern me.....as the saying goes " curiosity killed the cat" I accept the well being of the club, does impact on us, but it's not in our control.....I trust the management and the owners, to get those things under control. I really only concentrate on the football. I was privvy, many years ago, to some of the behind the scenes issues.....and it spoilt it for me as a fan.... so I left/resisted the invitations to the players lounge and the ambience of that.....and went back to the terraces, where I feel I belong. and that's where, i want to stay. Some of the behind the scenes stuff, I don't want to know......It spoils the dream of being a fan.....but hey ho.

    I agree. He could be called a clown or a jester, but his antics are not intimidating or threatening.....disruptive maybe, only if the mental approach of the kicker is frail......which is their problem. The descriptive words aimed at Emi, need to be reined in.......He is a comedian, and at a penalty shoot out, it's probably the last type of person you want to encounter....but let's get the context right here. They want to concentrate.....Emi wants to fool around......thats the top and bottom of it. On lookers need to get a grip of the context. Ps he has blotted nothing, just another brick in the wall, to say he is one of the best goal keepers on the planet. PPS Bruce Grobbelaar was much the same with his antics.

    and what part of my comments, do I suggest different....I agree. but to me....the 2 main incidents of the game, i have seen given against us......while he was referring, it was overlooked, whether it was VAR or him....i have seen incidents like that go against us. I don't think either was an infringement.....but I am a "hand to ball, man, not ball to hand man, to cause a penalty, but things have changed over the years.....I agree, Duran was not instrumental in bringing chevalier down, but again, i have seen those given against us. anyway....his grandad was a good entertainer, like our Emi.

    Immaculate.

    that's what, I said....whether it was VAR or him the outcome was the same.....He waved away the protests from the Lille players.

    Emiliano Martínez

    TRO replied to hippo's topic in Villa Talk

    I stand by my interpretation. I think Emi is loosely associated with ****housery as an easy description....but in context, I don't think it is. what Emi does, is passive. Roy Keane was ****housery, or Mark Dennis and Julian Dicks Look, I am not an authority on football descriptions, but that's the way, I see it. Emi just teases the patience and seriousness of opponents....that's fine by me....refs are just rocked by the outcome, and feel they have to react....that's as much on the recipient for being weak, as Emi, for being strong.

    I think you played very well over the 2 legs and probably deserved better.....but football or any other sport, digs deeper than just talent, as these games, bore witness too. We can both call on reasons why our teams, did not perform as well as they can.....and we can both call on elements of luck, that remain a feature of football games. We as Villa supporters can bear witness on many occasions of unfair referees or over zealous opponents who render our players lightweight....and we have to ride with it, and improve. Last night, we stayed with it, when we wasn't at our best....that was the most redeeming factor for me. You may not approve of Emi Martinez, for numerous reasons, but what he does, is passive, and more psychological....football is also played in the head, and he knows that, more than most......your players, should have scored, and you would have gone through. They should have rose above Emi's foolery, because that's all it was. It wasn't intimidating or threatening, (folk using those words are wrong) it might be off putting, but that's not illegal......we have to find context here. This was a tight fought game, and both teams can claim mitigation of sorts.....but in the cold light of day, i hope mutual respect prevails, between our clubs and supporters.....I for one rate Lille, as a very good side, and your manager too. As a result of these games, I am enlightened, but what a good side, Lille is, and how competitive they are......I hope the feeling is mutual.

    she is sexist

    I agree. I think, we have been in the doldrums, for that long, it seems like Unai is the best ever. but you are right, sheepy, what Ron did on a shoestring budget was unbelievable.....but it is different times now. For me, I don't want to compare, because too many variables come in to play....both were/are phenomenal.....Graham Taylor and Ron Atkinson, built some good teams and Brian and John, chipped in with some formidable players...and the 6-6-6- from MON wasn't to be sniffed a. Unai, still has the team WIP and the obstacles i.e FFP, Oil state owned clubs, is difficult to navigate. That win last night, was a peg in the ground, for the journey, and will only help our exposure, for future signings....The Character of the set up, will surely resonate, with ambitious players, looking for ambitious clubs. I also think what this guy is building, is solid....The whole football culture of our club, is impressive and encouraging....and if character was a doubt, it was dispelled, last night..... we was out on our legs. Every football person in our club looks committed, I am not ITK, but it seems like that is the case, everyone, talks each other up, it's like " all for one, one for all" From an old stalwart of the terraces.....this is a great time to be a Villa a fan. PS I can feel so many parallels with the past, good times.....we just have to keep going and prove it.

    spot on.
  20. TRO
    who were the commentators on this ?...TNT
  21. TRO
    it was unnecessary....but I still think the big decisions, he come down on our side....The penalty claim, and the impeded goalkeeper.......i have seen things like that given against us.
  22. TRO
    18 wibbles eh.....what does 19 constitute.
  23. TRO
    I want to....because I have seen so many teams against us getting away with things over the years.....I ignore it now when we do it. it's called pay back time.
  24. TRO
    something to do with consequences.
  25. TRO
    so was Cash......correction. sorry, I meant the second. but Luiz was partly at fault for the 1st, too.
