  1. Something remarkable about watching this. This game involved Klopp, Howe, Carragher, Neville, the city of Liverpool and the city of Newcastle… …and yet the most infuriating thing about this game was Peter Drury. I don’t think there is anything my irritating in football right now than his commentary. Could almost hear his pre-prepared paper of Shakespearean shite that he’d written down trembling in his hand with his cock in the other every time Salah had a shot to complete his hat-trick.
  2. Unless you want to watch an old man boogie woogie the **** out of something that never asked or wanted to be boogie woogied, then don’t watch it.
  3. Incidentally, I knew we had a penalty desperately chancing a look at Villa Talk but was then handed a poopy child by my wife in an area with limited signal and I was out of the game. I didn’t see anything again until after FT so I just got to see 3-2 and sigh relief. If I had to watch that double crossbar challenge Dougie attempted, my child wouldn’t have been the only poopy one…

    Unai Emery

    If he asked for a statue and a stand to be named after him right now, I’d give it to him. Ive been a Villa fan only since 2001ish and this is the only time as a fan Ive been truly excited and happy except for perhaps MON’s first league cup final as that felt like a false dawn of a corner turned. Even under the MON days it just felt a bit ‘off’ most of the time. Now we feel like real challengers. I actually wouldn’t be stunned if we won the league. Obviously it’d be incredible but because of what Unai has already done it wouldn’t appear absurd. then you remember that a very short time ago we were 17th under Gerrard.
  5. I was proper twisting the knife on this guy. Now I think he could well be one of our best players. He’s made me out to be a mug and Ive learned my lesson about (1) giving players time and (2) the effect shit coaching can have on a player. Hence I will back Zaniolo, Diaby and any future wavering signing to the death
  6. He needs Bouba. With Bouba he is world class. It’s the one worrying thing with Villa - we are very very reliant on our starting XI. I use worry loosely given we are 2nd in the league lol.
  7. Didn’t he score from like 40 yards on the volley once? Absolute worldy
  8. So weird. Only a day ago there was two or three articles on the BBC about the United win against Villa being a renaissance of sorts. It’s almost like our national unbiased reporting organisation just spaffs themselves about United at every opportunity but surely that isn’t the case
  9. Think VAR will look at this? Looks pretty marginal for offside
  10. It’s gut wrenching how far we have dropped off. As this is Villa this season has felt like a generational chance to achieve something. Now we are in relegation form (not that we are going to be anywhere near relegation but this is presently 2 points from what should be a guaranteed 9)
  11. lol it’s just so laughable. I was with my in laws during the Shef Utd game who have no interest in football but have interest in my interests if that makes sense, so I had to explain why I wasn’t celebrating, why the score could be 1-0 then suddenly not 1-0, what all the stopping was all about and then why is it still on when we got to a gazillion minutes or whatever it was. It has completely changed football from what was recognisable even to a layperson. The soul has been torn from the game. And for what exactly? 1% more accurate decisions but a HELL of a lot more controversy and sitting around waiting and not celebrating?
  12. First let’s flick through 5 completely pointless frames. Then let’s analyse the obvious onside for 2 minutes. Then let’s check every other rule that could possibly be breached. I honestly don’t blame the officials because of how much they are scrutinised now. This absolutely kills the game
  13. Just save yourself the bother and don’t celebrate
  14. How can we go from almost top at Christmas to being unable to beat the worst teams in the league
  15. We are going to **** this up again aren’t we…
  16. We are going to **** this up again aren’t we
  17. I’m going to be terribly miserable if we fail to win yet another winnable game
  18. It’s totally impossible to referee at every level. You try and enforce it and every set of players and coaches kick off at wasting time. Everyone does it, literally no point trying to stop it as all players and coaches are petulant cheating cry babies
  19. I find the pixelated thing really weird. I have absolutely no idea what they were trying to achieve there. Some sort of fargo style embroidered look?
  20. Lovely efforts but way too busy for me. Which just goes how impossible it is to please the masses. that being said, this wouldn't actively disappoint me. What Villa struggle with is making something that isn’t objectively shite
  21. Exactly the same. And I think a lot are in that boat. And they initially said they’d gauge reaction to it as the season went on. Which was obviously total bullshit as we all knew it would be.
