Only Tony Pulis can save us....

17th at best. If we are lucky. Why Sherwood didn't bring on some fresh legs in midfield and defense, when up 2-0? I guess that's why he makes the big bucks and I sit in my arm chair. *sighs* ... whatever.

No disrespect to Sunderland, but a draw against them at home is two points lost. Amavi against CP and now Clark against Sunderland But maybe we can still finish 17th. *sighs*

Only 3 games into the new season and I am already just hoping we can somehow avoid relegation and that maybe, somehow, hopefully, next season will be better. *sighs* ... Life as a Villa-fan.

Captain Clark, MOTM .... And a big **** *** to all the clever media pundits.

Go Viiiillllllllaaaaa. I have nothing else to say.

Unbelievable. A 180 and then another 180. What a so and so.

Hoping for a point. Expecting an easy City win. 3 x 0-3 in a row for us?

If we can keep the deficit at one, maybe there'll be a chance to steal a point. Annoyingly sloppy and lucky goal for Chelsea, but *sighs* so is that. Despite the above, I think we've defended well.

That dream didn't last long ...

It is what it is. Vlaar, Benteke and Kozak are injured. I cannot myself see a single surprise in the line-up. Okore isn't good enough, imho. UTV and 1-0 Villa (I hope), but it's probably more 8-0 Chelsea. Whatever, I can dream a half an hour more.

AndyM3000, my 'quote' doesn't work, but I agree with what you say. It's a loan deal with an irrelevant option-to-buy, as the player will reject the personal terms offered anyway. Hence the accepted bid now, but the deal a loan deal. One could argue it buys us some time to find a more 'permanent' option, which is of course a plus. And if Cleverley is using Villa as a shopping window, he'd be willing to put in the hard work. But I think there is very little chance Cleverley is a Villa-player 12 month from now.

A player who didn't want to be a Villa-player in the first place is killing 6 or 12 month at VP. Not ideal, imho and not the sort of player, we should be pursuing. IMHO.

If that Twitter rumour is true, what a scum way of doing business ... bidding for one of (or THE) key players so close before the window closes.

Young Graelish really shows maturity beyond his years. Think I'll better jump on that band waggon. Poor nervy 2nd half, but 7 points from 9 .... can't fault that.
