  1. The Dunkin’ Donuts Doug Ellis stand with Dug Ellis stand in big neon
  2. That TNT commentator. What an absolute word removed. Wonderful Lille robbed by nasty Martínez and his unsporting antics, not to mention football rules that are archaic! Honestly you’d have thought we’d been battered, like 40 shots to 0. Yes they were better for 70 minutes. Once Bailey came on they were cacking their pants…always felt if we grabbed one back we would have won. And we should have won in extra time, the only team creating clear chances. Lille robbed??? Non monsieur…you had a lot of possession but created next to nothing…
  3. If villa finish 5th and qualify for champions league, does anyone know if we will need to go through a playoff stage or straight to new style group stage? Just thinking about holiday plans!!!!
  4. How the heck does this xG bollox work? Fed up of hearing managers claiming they were the better team and should have won because of it. Same yesterday. Apparently wolves was higher. Let I saw Watkins clear through and miss; zaniolo great save; score twice…whilst those knuckle dragging dingle inbreds only forced Martinez into one decent save all game! Anyone looking on could see we were the better team for 60/90 minutes (I’ll give them the first 20; and first 10 of second half)
  5. Should be at least 4 points IMO. They knew they had breached previous year and haven’t sorted themselves out. Could have sold Pickford for example for a large wedge.
  6. I’ve give MOM to Diego. Just cos I felt sorry for him getting injured again and no one else voting for him …seriously, it was noticeable they were better at the back tonight with his strength alongside Pau. Totally nullified mr blobby up front for them, who had looked a bit of a handful in the first leg. Horses for courses, but Diego has a big role for us against that kind of forward! Hope he isn’t out for too long
  7. Is there a website address where these relative coefficient stats are updated???
  8. Thanks so much for the work you put in to try to rationalise all this for the uninitiated! So the headline is, that if your assumptions are correct, we should be fine for 2023/24. But we’ll need to turn a small profit for one year in 2024/25 to stay compliant before the horrible loss year drops out of the equation???
  9. 100% this. Until mings comes back we are a a better defensive unit with him in it. The number of goals we’ve started leaking from set pieces recently has been alarming
  10. It does look as though they are confident we haven’t breached up to end of 2022/23. What we don’t know about is the current year for the next set of calculations. So if we basically broke even in 2021/22, and we have allowed losses of 90m plus on 2022/23, then that means we can’t have any more than around 15 million allowable losses this year (2023/24). Whether we need to sell quickly in June (with the extended accountancy period) to make that figure is the question? But as a previous poster mentioned, would we really have signed Rogers in January if this was a possibility???
  11. Best defence IMO is when we have Pau and Carlos together with konsa as right back (who basically becomes a third centre half as the left back pushes up)
  12. AZ currently beating Ajax 2-0. Good stuff
  13. Presumably at the airport he will go to bag-ins rather than check-ins
  14. Official comments from Warsaw at end of this most recent article from the BBC. Just wow, can’t believe they are totally shifting the blame. None of those arrested had tickets so nowt to do with them apparently. Club is rotten to the core… https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-67599955
  15. Anyone know how long it takes for the full match replay to appear on tnt/discovery sports app? Desperate to watch this again asap :-)
  16. Add tielemans coming on with some top passing. Absolutely key to getting the result. So nice to have impact from the bench.
  17. Warsaw, bring it on! true story…I met my best friend’s wife for the first time. She asked where I was from. I said Walsall originally. She was amazed and said I didn’t sound Polish
  18. And for a laugh, look at these match ratings, which had Carlos as worst player 4/10 https://www.astonvillanews.co.uk/2023/08/27/matty-cash-masterclass-as-ollie-watkins-struggles-again-aston-villa-player-ratings-v-burnley/
  19. Thankfully I’m on holiday in Donegal and very drunk. I have every confidence that the leprechauns I’ve just seen in black and white shirts were not actually real and that I’m about to wake up safe and sound at the end of a rainbow
  20. More importantly…can he take a penalty…
