  1. The first half was...alright? The open game suited us better than the alternative, but our chances were falling to the wrong players, and conceding a sloppy tame set piece goal so late on was potentially disastrous. We did see Pau doing what he was originally meant to do as part of a back three and I thought he was excellent. The second half was ten minutes of total dominance by Villa with no end product, ten minutes of Brentford threatening again, then the red and load of embarrassing craziness It's a great result but Emery needs to get a big mental reset going this week because people were losing the run of themselves and acting like maniacs. There's no good reason for Kamara to have put himself out of three matches, and Watkins, with the caveat that we probably won't know exactly how bad the stuff this rando in the crowd was shouting at him was, doesn't really need to be making the game about that and causing melees All in all, well done, now please calm down and have an early night FFS
  2. Tbf everyone on the pitch is behaving like an absolute maniac at this point
  3. Dimbulb pundits going on about how all you have to do to beat Villa 5-0 is simply beat their offside trap by timing your pass and run perfectly five times, you'd think somebody would have cottoned on
  4. I don't think he likes being alive by the sound of it
  5. Tbf Pep was 100% magnanimous in defeat to Villa, but then again has there ever been a defeat in his career where he had fewer possible excuses available at the end of it?
  6. "if it wasn't a goal it should've been a penalty for cash handballing it" "it was headed onto Cash's shoulder from point blank range then ricocheted around into Havertz' arm and hand. Only the attacking handball is an offence under the current laws of the game." "it doesn't touch Havertz' hand though" "here are like 3 or 4 angles in slow mo of the ball touching his inner arm then his fingers" "the ref couldn't have seen that from 30 yards away, he was guessing" "here is a is a view from behind the goal of the referee being about 18 yards away and looking directly at the incident as it happens, accompanied by audio of him immediately after the whistle saying he's disallowing it for an attacking handball by Havertz" "it should've been a penalty for Cash handballing it"
  7. Everton ruthlessly slamming unanswered goals in against Newcastle and Chelsea while Goodison goes absolutely buckwild is pure box office imo I think the 10 point deduction seemed fair enough but it's also fair enough if they immediately put 10 points back on the board while foaming at the mouth in response to it
  8. "Saka was clearly onside " is a new one, "there is no evidence at all from any of the replays that the ball touched Havertz' hand at any point" was a bizarre talking point from yesterday, especially after watching MOTD again. "the ref was 30 yards away and couldn't possibly see the thing he blew immediately for, he just guessed because PGMOL is engaged in a shadow war with the Arsenal" is a related derangement Honestly the biggest issue I could see, allowing that the pen shout was a seen em given seen em not one, was the Carlos elbow/forearm on Nketiah which looked dodgy as **** on the replay, as was the bizarre mechanism by which he was somehow awarded a yellow by the ref that was visibly looking at something else when it happened
  9. Lads Garth Crooks is a mascot, he hasn't known what day it is at any point this decade, getting angry at his team of the week is several steps ahead of "caring about Talksport bait" on the waste of energy scale
  10. ...my aunt lives in London, she says it's quite nice
  11. Do we reckon Fulham are getting double figures against Newcastle? I mean it's maybe a stretch too far with Tripps missing
  12. Cash on Bentancur was a nasty tackle but that alone is...so much worse than anything Cash has ever done in his career The guy's like an industrial thresher out there ffs
  13. Every Arsenal fan I know IRL is sound and knows a lot about football tbh, they just have a high and very visible % of braindead attention seeking Youtube-y types and overcompensating hysterical overseas fans screaming on Reddit
  14. Not sure it's reaching all the way up to Brum but London is actually slightly shaking from the ongoing Arsenal tantrum Hope Leon is OK, two big contributions in a huge 135 minutes for us this week. We're past needing to wish for "Bundesliga Bailey" at this point and into new territory I think
  15. Beautiful synergy with the chant given that his actual entire experience at the game was to see the Villa and **** off home Thank god for the TV coverage remembering to cut to the occasional identical 5 second long shot of him motionless and glowering
  16. I mean, it's a Saturday night and Villa have just won, why not?
  17. Pundits barely acknowledging Bournemouth in their solemn post-mortem for Utd
  18. Gotta say I always love seeing people bust out "they played as if it was their cup final because it was us", the last refuge of the shellshocked "hahaha look at your players running round busting a gut just so they can play us off the pitch. Nice to see we still live rent free in your heads I'm enjoying this, actually"
  19. As much as it's had me grinding my teeth for the last 48 hours and will no doubt ruin my weekend whatever happens at Arsenal, Haaland astutely darted back onside just before the cross came in and they legitimately had two shots against us Edit: no, **** it, I watched it again in slowmo and they would definitely have had to draw the lines on it at the very least. I never want to hear about "ghost goals" ever again while we've got to live with this hanging over us Was reading their post-match thread and there's nothing really objectionable about the game, but the amount of (quite possibly premature) dejection and consternation that they might not win the league for a fourth time in a row is so bizarre to me, who on earth could want football to be like that
  20. Ref's having a really good game tbf aside from the stupidly long advantage If this was a bottom half team it'd be 4-0. McGinn really thinks he's going to get Watkins in with one of those passes sooner or later
  21. One of Bailey's best games for us so far, lively as hell in attack and really disciplined in the press
  22. That's a good read. I had not clocked how close his goal involvements were to 1 in 2 under Emery. I sure hope he stays!
