  1. Just a thought and I’m not getting ahead of myself here because I think it applies whoever gets to the final but it seems crazy that the final will take place in a 32000 capacity stadium. It’s smaller than 3 of the 4 semi finalist stadium and probably smaller than 50% of the premier league grounds. I would say if we got to the final we could sell that out twice over easily and probably the same for fiorentina maybe when the other 2 sides as well. Seems odd to me given the likehood is that the final will in most seasons have a at least one finalist from Italy, England, Germany or France and probably very often both sides will come from those countries and take a decent support. I know the are some “small” teams from smaller nations but I still would have thought uefa might have the foresight to put this final in a bigger ground
  2. Cash brain dead we now give a decent side a chance to spend an hour just sitting in and hitting us on the break unacceptable
  3. Was it the same ref from the first leg because he was pretty bad as well booking our players for not much and letting Lille players rugby tackle the likes of Bailey without a card.
  4. He got booked in both legs of the Lille tie so I would say he probably is out of the first leg regardless of what ever the F went on the shoot out. It is annoying when he does his time wasting because it’s so obvious that more often than not he will get booked and now he is out for a game and actually what does it achieve? Not much given the ref will add the time on anyway. That said what a keeper nobody else I would want in goal for a shoot out
  5. I am convinced we did. Stepped it up a bit towards the end but it felt like 2nd gear for most of the game and I say that with no disrespect to Lille who I thought looked a really good side. My feeling is Emery said that’s try and win this with minimal energy used up and when we had too we stepped it up a bit but it’s difficult to go from coasting to stepping up your levels
  6. I felt like we have tried to get through this while saving as much energy as we can but that’s probably not the case given we are in extra tine
  7. Don’t worry about it you know for sky the are only 7 clubs Man Utd, Man City Liverpool, Chelsea, arsenal, spurs and the others (being the generic mass of clubs that make up the rest of the premier league) it doesn’t matter if us or Newcastle consistently get too 4 we will both always be irrelevant to sky. The only change I could see to this would be if spurs don’t get top 4 for a few seasons in a row because they are not a big club and don’t win anything although there stadium makes them a big 6 club in skys view . Utd and Chelsea could spend ten years in the bottom half of the league and you would still hear about them as part of the big 6
  8. I believe the wage bill for playing staff is just over £80 million a year.
  9. Annoying as he might be and the biggest fall from grace in footballing history I think he dropped the Alli part due to it having links back to being abused as a child
  10. Hope this helps you feel a little bit better remember your always part of the big Villa family
  11. Take away the name Man Utd and therefore the plastics/kids of the early 2000’s that support them because they are the best and sky would do everything they can to avoid putting this lot on tv. They really are a poor poor side full of highly paid ego warriors. I am glad they do get put on sky though because it’s fun watching them being so awful and getting outplayed by the likes of Bournemouth and Brentford.
  12. On a smaller scale of redevelopment did I read somewhere heck said he wanted to add an extra 3000 seats through reconfiguring the existing seating plan over the summer ?
  13. I completely agree, I sit in the upper holte. On Saturday the two guys next to me went on about 35 minutes and came back about 7-8 minutes into the second half missing our first and second goals. I really don’t get it, I have a pint or two before the game depending on how early I am but ultimately I’m there to watch the game so if it’s a choice between that and a pint I’ll miss out on the beer. You can see it happening all around the ground and I’m sure at other grounds too but it looks awful when loads of empty seats appear because they have all gone for drinks. If your that desperate to watch the game with a beer why not go to a pub and watch it
  14. According to Kieran McGuire the football finance expert big financial issues at Leeds due to the Jesse March reign. They apparently still owe other clubs £190 million in transfer fees and failure to get promoted will cause a huge crisis as they are still carrying a big wage bill on top of the money they owe. Even promotion might not solve the situation
  15. Looks like the 777 deal could be circling the drain because they don’t have any money. I can see administration on the cards
  16. Might be slightly controversial but i quiet like him, I see a lot of my own reactions to Villa in the way he is. Also very funny watching any Utd fan have a melt down after the previous 20 + years they had of success, welcome to the real world where not turning up every week expecting to win makes the wins you do get all the sweeter. It’s called being a real supporter not a plastic “I support Utd because they are the best”
  17. I’m sure he will be man of the match when they play us by caicdo is not a very good footballer yet some how cost more than twice our record signing along with his partner in crime enzo. as for poch the guy is the most overrated manager in the world. So glad he thought he was too good for us although I doubt we were after him. No game plan other than run around a lot straight out of the bielsa play book
  18. I agree for sure proper helmet that we shouldn’t forget was desperate to leave the club numerous times before he eventually went. I would however like our fans to stop booing him and just ignore him. He is irrelevant to us now almost as if he never existed to Villa
  19. Zaniolo was poor and that free kick hits a decent wall and looks awful but to be fair at 1-1 in injury time dougie needs to be getting the ball gone not trying to flick the ball back over the city player losing it and having to give a dangerous free kick away and potentially could have got a second yellow
  20. The build up to the Newcastle Everton match had loads of talk about how good Calvert lewin is despite no goals in about 5 months and only 3 all season. Am I the only one that thinks he is actually a fraud of a striker? Like real dog shit. Lots of nearly getting on the end or just missing a cross because he is so poor he is never in the right position
  21. Season almost completely written off due to an England u21 comp
  22. Thought he was near faultless yesterday
  23. More talk of him being targeted by ratcliffe to take over from Utd. I am manifesting intensely for this to happen I think he would be great for Utd
  24. I’m incline to agree and I am 100% certain if it wasn’t a player at one of the sky 6 he would be feeling lucky to a call up to the 21’s but Southgate is so blinkered by those teams he can’t stop himself albeit I think the kid looks decent but as suggested very naive and green. However happier to see him in the squad than Levi collwell, he is literally in the squad based on who he plays for because he is a very very average player
