  1. He has been forced back into the team through Digne’s injury when we otherwise wouldn’t be starting him, and he isn’t ready and it’s costing him and us in terms of performances. Little more to it than that.
  2. We were shit. But Christ alive the match thread. So, so embarassing.
  3. You do realise if we didn’t have the odd awful game we would be the best team in the world right?
  4. “Direby”. This forum is now worse than Twitter. Really starting to wonder why I bother when I look at these match threads.

    Unai Emery

    Unfortunately it did not rub off on the players. He needs to stop the rot properly soon otherwise the fickle pitch forks are going to be coming out. If that happens and he goes I think that’s when I officially just give up.
  6. Shipping 6 against Newcastle and Chelsea has me a bit concerned
  7. It’s up there with “losers” which everyone looooves to through around on this match thread since someone I can’t remember once described the Villa mentality as that. It’s so edgy and cutting and original.
  8. I predict an excellent 8 minutes in the second half either at the start or end and that’ll be our lot
  9. I mean tbf I couldn’t give a singular shit about the fa cup. Just another league cup now. But I’d prefer to us not to play like dicks
  10. This it’s what’s pissing me off right now. We’ve gone from so electric to so lethargic in the last 6-8 games bar shef Utd
  11. Well I see we have reverted to pre-Sheffield shite. Nothing learned then.
  12. Put aside the Villa love-in for a second. He would upset the ethos in the squad, he is unprofessional (which I don’t think can be said of any of our current professional and hard working squad), we don’t need his antics or the negative press, we are progressing without him, he would demand special treatment that he (1) doesn’t deserve and (2) would enrage other more deserving players, and I just wouldn’t want a team built around him again. Genuinely wouldn’t consider him for any fee. He’s burned his bridges and he’s going to reap what he’s sown. And maybe he’s happy with that because he has won everything - fair play. But he has absolutely no business at Villa.
  13. Aston Villa Man City West Ham - shite 20 or so games Everton (Loan) - shite 10 games Stoke (free) Solihull Motors (free) Retirement (turbo mega-lash)
  14. Nope! I think he’s starting to reap the rewards of his lifestyle tbh. Downhill from here and we should never ever sign players from the Big 6 (Martinez being the only decent one we have signed from any of them in my memory). Why upset the balance and atmosphere we have in the team.
  15. Exactly this. I lived in the US as well and it’s crippling how socially awkward and unwilling to be free we are brought up to be. But yeah if you’re not bugging yourself up then it’s taken at face value that you must be shit. Anyway on Emi, I’m going to go as far as to say he’s the best footballer ever to play for us. He’s won the World Cup, he’s won every best goalkeeper in the world award, he’s worth double digits of points every season, he hardly ever cocks up. Whenever he’s one on one or there is a penalty, any other keeper (apart from Ederson) I’d favour the striker but not Emi. You just know that leg is going to fly out of nowhere and stop it. He increases the profile of our club, he’s a calming presence in defence, he seems to love the Villa, we love him. He’s a born winner and champion and legend.
  16. It also just taps into the English psyche that being confident is arrogance and “not cricket”. It’s why we produce such uptight and insular people.
  17. Yeah but Villa doing Villa things we would probably smash them all then lose to Luton
  18. Obviously not much to go on but just looking at him he doesn’t look out of place. He seems sure of himself, he’s a brick shit house and he just seems comfortable already. As I’m a Villa fan I’m confident that based on circa 15 minutes he’s the real deal.
  19. Sometimes he’s as good as Hogan. Other times he’s as good as Messi. The enigma.
  20. I slagged him off when he was poor and all that stuff came out of him wanting more time (because I’m a fickle, naive, impatient Villa fan). Ive learnt my lesson these days. I think he’s superb. Say it quietly but he’s better than Buendia…
  21. Why must we smear a bit of poo on it right at the end
  22. I know it’s irresponsible but I wish we just went out to dick them 9-0
