  1. That would also look like a historic failure to understand that we cannot win the Champions League this season because we are not in it!
  2. This looks like a historic failure to understand what makes Emery tick. He likes to win, particularly European trophies.
  3. At least we got a bit of excitement in the end but I would rather it wasn’t about whether we would concede a second! However, job done - not the best performance ever but we did enough to win the group & skip the knockout round so see you in the round of 16. Scratching my head a bit over MOTM - between Douglas Luiz and Torres. Maybe Zaniolo cos he actually scored at last?
  4. BTW there is some cracking cricket being played in the England West indies T20. I may stick with that…
  5. Head to head scores with Legia are equal so I think then it goes to GD achieved against the whole group..
  6. Heck, this is boring. Zrinjski just want to defend in depth and sneak a breakaway goal. We can’t unpick them. Diaby and Zaniolo should ne the ones to do it but they have both been well below par. A repeat of this in the second half would be enough to win then group of course but I might be tempted to open a can of paint and watch it dry rather than stick with the football.
  7. He’s done well in previous conference matches I think. More inclined to the injury narrative
  8. Must say I rather enjoyed Wrighty’s sulkfest. Remember, he was the first to call, out our ‘high line’ - “they will lose matches”
  9. Much sympathy to all those who were “expecting” Arsenal to score 1.36 goals, FYI they scored 0. Also, key info for those “expecting” us to score 0.5 goals. We doubled that!
  10. BTW if I hear ANYBODY banging on about ”poor” performance or “shortcomings” this evening, I need your address…
  11. As are his squad of cry-babies and injury-feigners, was my takeaway from today.
  12. Well done Donks. Good job Emery is calling the shots and not the Villatalk faithful.
  13. Well, when you’ve just been outthought and outplayed by the man you replaced….
  14. Got to go and cook the tea now so can’t write the long essay I feel is in my head. Just briefly, brilliant pocket-picking job on Arsenal there. To be fair they looked to have a couple of goals in them and we struggled a few times to contain them but we were never overwhelmed and were good for the 3 points in the end. The tiredness of some of our key players was obvious but Emery did a great job with his substitutions.The discipline of our defending was admirable. Shame about the bookings which have done a bit of damage for coming matches. SJM man of the match for me but Martinez and Douglas Luiz were close behind.
  15. Suddenly I feel more favourable to this referee.
  16. Excellent pack of substitutions from the Don.
  17. Think this is from 2015 - we won 2-0.
  18. RIP Benjamin. Lovely man, great poet and Villa supporter to boot. 65 is too young to go.
  19. Sublime performance. Hopefully this will quieten the muttering about how “poor” we are and the relentless focus on our “shortcomings” for a while. Bring on the Arsenal!
  20. Good to see we’ve started turning on the players and the manager before the match has even started. At least give them 5 mi utes of play before the pile in!
