Have a trophy 'like'. ..."Two pints ya pr*ck"

Very pleased he managed to eventually get on the scoresheet at long last.

Scrappy result but job done. Last 16 here we come.

I'm not complaining. The Glaziers have done wonders for Man Utd. Every cloud has a silver lining and all that.

Fergy and Mrs John Magnier were very good friends at the time along with their co-ownership of the racehorse Rock of Gibraltor. Fergy was manager of Man Utd. Mrs John Magnier was a shareholder along with JP McManus at Man Utd. After their relationship broke down over apparent ownership of the racehorse, after it retired, relationships became strained. Fergy thought he was entitled to 50% of all future stud fees that Rock of Gibraltor generated and that's where the fall out came when it transpired he wasn't. He began court proceedings. No one forced MJM or JPM to sell their shares in Man Utd, it was their choice. Glaziers just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Fergy could have left Man Utd and they may have both remained shareholders, but greed and misunderstanding played a dominant role in the saga. It doesn't just fall on the shoulders of Fergy - all 3 are to blame. As the saying goes: 'There are no friends in business'.

Sorry, but this is all jibberish nonsense. Maybe we should send Torres and Diaby back and ask for a refund since you hate the thought of us spending big? Big clubs buy big name players - with that come big fee's.

Hard not to when it lifts the spirits.

Yep. If you want to be a big team and challenging for numerous trophies then you need a big squad. As we witnessed, Mings, Ramsey & Buendia... followed by Moreno were all sidelined for a lengthy period of time. The squad we have has done wonderful so far in where we're at in both the league and UECL, but we won't be able to keep this up all season, burnout will soon catch up once we enter into the FA Cup too. As for Baena, he would fit perfectly on that left side of the attack. Adding more numbers in January is needed and this lad certainly fits into how we play under the Emery way.

Didn't the same thing happen with Grealish before leaving for City? Could just be Villarreal's way ensuring they get a decent fee for him.

Without speaking for @Follyfoot I think his statement was more about ladies and when the decorators arrive and how they can be. Stating the obvious here, but it's now time to look after number one. It's a proper kick in the stones but time is a healer.

Not many do nowadays. But yes. He seems happy, settled here and practically first on the team sheet. There wouldn't be any need to rock the boat or force a move.

Would like to see him get on in the 2nd half on Thursday to try and build his confidence up (as long as the result is taken care of by then). It's good man management by Unai to take him out the spotlight while he tries to discover his form.

We shouldn't need to but I would like us to in order to get the job done. Get the result sealed in the first half and sub off to keep the legs fresh, bringing on the names you mention.

Hasn't Luiz also stated he is very happy at Villa and does not want to leave anyway. I'm sure I read somewhere that we have put a big price tag against him to ward off "interest".

Me neither. I think having squad depth will be key (whoever we sign come January) as we now start to move into the business end of the season.

Emery better stay put until he retires then.

A woman walks out of the shower, winks at her boyfriend, and says, "Honey, I shaved myself down there. Do you know what that means?" The boyfriend says, "Yeah, it means the drain is clogged again."

Has any previous manager/head coach of Villa gone onto anything better after leaving us?

"Give it to me! Give it to me!" she yelled. "I'm so wet, give it to me now!" She could scream all she wanted, but I was keeping the umbrella.

We do have a nice run of games (on paper atleast) coming up which is always a good start.
