  1. The win against Arsenal is looking even bigger now. We really need to beat Bournemouth to put huge pressure on Spurs.
  2. We threw away a two goal lead at Luton too. Luckily Digne rescued us. It’s not the norm, but it’s definitely not a one off.
  3. I seem to remember a 2-0 win, with a Shaun Maloney goal. Must have been circa 2008. We did win there in the League Cup under Lambert. We’re due a bit of luck there.
  4. If we can get 3 more wins (from 8 games), Man Utd would need to win 7 of their last 9 to overtake us (and that’s presuming we don’t pick up any draws in the other 5 games). I’m ever the pessimist when it comes to Villa, but we’re within touching distance of top 5 now.
  5. I think we have to appeal the red card. It’s a foul and a yellow card, but a red is ridiculously harsh.
  6. Next week is huge. We need to regain the initiative quickly, which we have done this season following defeats. Another defeat next week and I get the feeling that the season will drift away. The injuries (and McGinn’s suspension) are killing us. The midfield without Kamara and McGinn (and possibly even Ramsey) looks weak.
  7. This is going to get messy. Double figures?
  8. It’s hard to see Carla Ward still at Villa next season. The regression from last season has been alarming.
  9. At least we’ve learnt to win without him now, albeit not very comfortably. Hopefully another few days recuperation and he’ll be good to go.
  10. Feels like a huge victory. This is the point when we traditionally begin the collapse. Hopefully different this time around.
  11. Would have preferred an easier tie to be honest. But it’s a ‘proper’ two legged European match up. Can’t wait.
  12. 6th is quite probable now in my opinion, but I don’t think we’ll drop as low as 7th. We’d have all taken 6th and The Conference League before the season started. Still very much doable.

    Matty Cash

    He’s someone that we definitely need to upgrade in the summer. Not good enough for the level we want to be at.
  14. He’ll be down to 12 months this summer I think, so it protects his value from Villa’s point of view.
  15. If it’s £15m then I think that will definitely include some add ons, and probably difficult to reach add ons, considering it was widely reported that Boro were looking for £12m.
  16. I’m fairly confident that he’s a Middlesbrough supporter. He might well have good contacts there.
  17. Ironically Crystal Palace signed them both from Championship teams…
  18. Unless there is no break clause, which seems to be the case here.
  19. I presume we’ll be hearing about a sale soon. Not sure why else we’d recall him from a Championship loan where he is getting plenty of minutes.
