Let’s see if we can win ugly , not playing great or bad but top top teams find ways to win when not playing their best.
To be fair, so do shit teams, like Man Utd.

If we go 2-0 and they score in the 60th minute, I'm putting £1b on 2-4 like last season lol.
Just got to be disciplined and solid.

We're doing okay in a, actually we're doing pretty **** well way.
A few risks almost got taken advantage of and we seem to not have as much control as we did Wednesday.
Arsenal's press is more effective than city's and we've had a few twitchy bum times.
That said, if we calm a little, play with our backs to the goal and bring others into the game, we'll be ok.
They do look dangerous though and Oodegard should have scored really.

I can't believe this.
I didn't even celebrate that, just stunned. Who are these people.
Football players with a plan and confidence.

We're the best

VAR is ridiculous.
I dunno, I quite like Liverpool suffering in any capacity.

EZ win, probably about 10 nil or summat.
Arsenal have got too big for their boots and they're soft as shite.
The only players I'd have over ours are Saka and Rice, and even that's a close run thing.
Plus they haven't got the big baby on the side of the pitch, bitchin an moaning.

Who needs Rodri when you have Bouba?
Everything he did was class last night.
When he's really focused, he's often the midfielder who holds it all together for us, he's just prone to the odd blip.
That'll change with age.

He's no Carlos Cuellar, but he's ok for now

Beat Arsenal and it'll be a legitimate time to say "Do you want to bet against us?"
Also, we need to cut out being nice to the likes of Wolves, Forest etc away from home.
Seemingly, the last piece of the puzzle is learning to control the game away from home and not letting the atmosphere get the better of us. If we overcome that, then we're definitely in with a chance - However! It's not that easy, obviously.

I keep trying to contextualise everything, but it's all good.
We've had great games before, Newcastle 3-0 last season was the time I think we said to ourselves "we're a pretty good team, actually!"
We've had games like the Fulham 1-0 last year where we had 70% possession and they had one, quarter chance in the first minute and nothing afterwards.
Stretching back, we've had the Liverpool 7-2, further back the Sunderland 6-1, the Coventry 3-2, finally beating United at OT 0-1, finally beating them at home, the Ajax game, plus others.
But the magnitude of this game somehow tops all of those. It puts us in an elite group of teams and this should be the catapult of confidence which lets every player in the club believe they deserve the be in that group.
Mcginn, Konsa and Watkins have come from Championship football and pretty humble beginnings to sit at a table reserved for Elite athletes with a god given talent.
We finally have a philosophy we stick to, we have given the players the trust and confidence to go out and play, make the odd mistake and learn from our poor moments.
Last night, we arrived.. it feels like.
As a fan, I can't wait to see the next game, and it's been like that for a while.
And it all boils down to one person, and his group of coaches.
All adjectives and superlatives have been given to Unai, but the progress we've made from 15 months ago is absolutely enormous, huge, gigantic.
It's really fun being a Villa fan, I hope it continues for a long, long time!

Same!
I'm usually a pretty slow starter, but I'm contemplating going to the gym later once my kids are off at school
Proper spring in my step.
Do you think it'll look weird at the gym that I still have a hard on?

Win, lose or draw, our application in that first half is the most refreshing I've ever seen Villa approach a "big team" in 36 years. We seem calm and in control.
Long live Unai xoxox

I had a Cineworld pass since 2004 until last summer, then I got an Odeon Pass and have watched 0 films this year.
Kids are a **** time sink.
