Feeling amazing today but that ref, needs investigating. Got to be the worst performance I have seen from a ref in years

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.

This is from The UEFA regulations

The briefing that Emi is suspended for the semis appears to have come from the club but I think they’re just teasing us.

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

Spot on.

Part of me thinks we deliberately took our foot off the gas a bit.

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 

Not many games I’ve seen is be so untidy in possession

We’re knackered. We’ve looked it all game

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

Won't shut up about Palmer today. Just on SSN, "Is Parmer the best Player in the Premier League on current form". 

20 goals, 9 which are penalties, thats11 from open play, bore off Sky.

Watkins 19 goals from open play, more than anyone including Halaand. Where's the respect. 

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

They outpaid us for Tarkowski when the clown was in charge when we were throwing out stupid contracts

I believe the wage bill for playing staff is just over £80 million a year.

Maybe I've missed something, and I know he can call himself whatever he wants, but when did Dele Alli lose his surname? According to sky they have 'special guest Dele', has he checked down the back of the sofa? that's where I tend to find things I lose.

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

Felt like crap mentally over the past few weeks, that has cheered me right up. Celebrating has never felt so good. We showed Arsenal what they are missing. We have a world class manager and a group of players I believe in. I believe more and more that this will be a season I'll remember for the rest of my life with each passing match.

UTFV. Cherishing moments like this.

Hope this helps you feel a little bit better remember your always part of the big Villa family 

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.

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 ?

In my far too many years of going to VP, I've only had a half time drink when I've pre-ordered one in a box. I'm surprised people are so desperate for a crap beer that they'll miss part of the match experience to get one.

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 

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  

Looks like the 777 deal could be circling the drain because they don’t have any money. I can see administration on the cards

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”

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

I can't believe there are still Villa fans that would welcome Grealish back. 

He's a word removed. End of. 

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

Straight through the wall, that’s so shite

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 

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 

Season almost completely written off due to an England u21 comp

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

Mainoo may well turn into a fantastic footballer, but how he's done enough to warrant an England first team place at this stage is utterly baffling (and I'll admit, I don't watch Man Utd games so maybe he's utter class all the time).

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

Looks like Neto has been ruled out for the season 

That is a big loss for wolves he is their best player. I really rate him and he is key to how they play getting them up the pitch 

I think they will end up with another deduction given forests but I imagine it would be no more than what forest got so they will probably still survive some how
