  1. I often wonder, do any Villa fans go onto opposition message boards and say hello ahead of when we've played European games this season? I think it's a nice touch, although that Legia guy was a bit of a tool - symptomatic of his fanbase I suppose. I like Lille, they're probably my French team although I do quite like Marseille and Nantes. Anyway, allez (allez allez) le Villa.
  2. Never mind top 4, they're going to be lucky to qualify for Europa League at this rate - Newcastle, West Ham, Brighton and Chelsea will all fancy overtaking them
  3. Man Utd 1-0 down. Onana will probably ensure us a top 5 finish
  4. If you'd said that we'd go into any Premier League game with that line-up/injury list then I think we'd all have been concerned, so to have it at the Etihad borders on terrifying, even with Haaland and KDB on the bench. Bringing Chambers on to lumber around in midfield sums up how bereft we are. At least SJM is back now. I thought we did very well up until we had the 2 chances in quick succession to make it 2-2 (Luiz and the header from the resulting corner). More positives than negatives
  5. Yeah, they've been fortunate to have gone out of both cups early as well (as have we, frustrating as it was). Im not sure they'll cope well with Europe, cups and league next season playing that way. Could end up being next season's Newcastle with a load of injuries
  6. Question about long term CL qualification - presumably UEFA are having this qualification system every season? So 5th might be enough every season if English teams are in the top 2 coefficient?
  7. Didn't get booked yesterday, the guy clearly can't be arsed
  8. How the hell have Brentford not scored?
  9. What minute are United going to get their completely undeserved winner then? I'll go 84th
  10. You aren't supposed to enter or leave the field without an officials consent - it's a bookable offence. There's "easier" ways to get a yellow though - kick the ball away, pull a shirt, delay a restart etc
  11. The only thing more rattled than I am is the back of John Ruddy's net
  12. They're different level clubs, but I'd imagine Man City and Arsenal aren't saying "it's still not Maine Road/Highbury though is it?" despite the obvious emotional attachment fans would have had (and probably still do). Spurs possibly different as they haven't been there long and, well, they haven't won anything.
  13. Couple of fines for Digne should sort that
  14. Really poor goalkeeping there, followed the ball across goal and lost her positioning - if she'd taken 2 or 3 steps less she'd have saved that comfortably, which is a shame as she'd made 2 really good saves beforehand. 1-3 now - how is that not a handball?!
  15. That's a good deal for us. The BK8 deal isnt due to expire though is it? Was only signed last summer, and it was stated it was a front of shirt deal...
  16. Yeah, she's from Sutton Coldfield I think. She modelled a shirt in the early 00's.
  17. I reckon we might see Ollie or Duran as more left-sided with Rogers as a 10, Tielemans and Luiz as a double pivot. Interesting line up though
  18. Looks like Jutkiewicz might be injured too, had to be helped off at the end according to the BBC match report
  19. I can think of thousands of fans who did exactly that in the exact stadium 4 days prior...
  20. 30/3 Wolves H 3/4 Man City A 6/4 Brentford H 11/4 Lille H 14/4 Arsenal A 18/4 Lille A 21/4 Bournemouth H Quite the workload there, going to be a tough few weeks
