  1. We were likely to lose today anyway, as are most teams away to Chelsea, whatever happens in this game it won't be as disappointing as only getting a point at home to Leicester last time out and other results like that. The sending off doesn't really hurt us this game, other than we will probably lose by a bigger scoreline than we would have done, which is defeatis I know, but the way it is unfortunately, where it really hurts us is that we're now going to have no senior goalkeepers available for the next three games which is for the rest of the season Presumably we're going to have try and sort out an emergency loan, although nothing to play for, so might as well give Poor the starts for experience
  2. This could have been a big defeat at the best of times, even more likely now with ten women. No reflection on Sophia Poor though, she's only seventeen, and this Chelsea team capable of scoring a bunch of goals past the best of goalkeepers.
  3. if anything is planned man they're probably going to announce it as part of the 150th Anniversary celebrations

    Louie Barry

    I don't think we would sell him without a buyback clause, and if we were of a mind to sell I think a Championship team would take a chance on him. His output at League Two level is impressive for a striker of his young age, and he's been putting in the performances to match as well. Put him in a decent Championship team and chances are he'd do well enough at that level, so might make more sense for him to reach that level and then get a bigger fee and buyback if required.
  5. Southampton beat Preston 3-0, they're only three points off Leeds now with a game in hand, and four points off Leicester with them to play. Would be some end to the season if Leeds and Leicester were to drop into the play-offs

    Louie Barry

    He missed a penalty but then assisted Stockport's fifth tonight as they beat Notts County 5-2 away from home to clinch the League Two title. Despite penalty miss Stockport fans saying he played very well when he came on.
  7. Barry came off the bench and missed a penalty, but then assisted Stockport's fifth goal. After tonight's win he and Rico Richards are League Champions
  8. Looks like Lucy Parker and Lucy Staniforth might be back sooner than expected, Carla Ward has said they're 'back on the grass' and said ' I would envisage certainly one being back next week and then the following week, the other'

    Arsenal

    Losing one game isn't 'bottling it' especially when the defeat was to a very good side who played very well on the day, to say they 'bottled it is to unfairly take credit away from us, and to be fair they didn't even play badly themselves, we had to defend very well first half to keep them out. Last season they bottled it because they were eight points clear in April, but only won three of their last nine, in that run they dropped dropped points to West Ham, and Southampton, and lost to Brighton and Nottingham Forest, that's throwing the title away, not losing one game to the team in fourth place, previous to that they had one ten of their last eleven and the other game was an away draw to Manchester City If come the end of the season they miss out on the title by a couple of points there are worse results they can look back on with bitter regret and wish undone than losing to us, they only took one point off Fulham across two games for example
  10. Just needs one of Sheffield Wednesday or Huddersfield to win next weekend or for these to lose to keep interesting. Obviously if all those things happen even better
  11. That was a very good win, when I saw the line-ups, us not starting Jimoh, or Young, Kellyman not in the squad, and some of the very highly rated players in their team, I thought it might be them beating us by a few goals rather than the other way around. Good to see Pierre get a few and an assist, hopefully does his confidence some good, another two for Moore, quietly having a good season, he might get a loan next season, and goal and an assist for Patterson
  12. 5-1 now, still ten minutes plus injury time to play
  13. Bad control from Muric, but also defenders should never pass straight to the keeper always across, so if they do make a mistake it goes away from the goal
  14. Arsenal take the lead via a Borland own goal, but Kyrie Pierre has just equalized for us

    The NSWE Board

    All three new directors have been appointed to all Villa related companies listed on companies house, mens team, the womens team, the stadium, and the foundation
  16. Just looking at their away record, it's the second worst in the league, just three wins and twelve points I don't think it's beyond the realms of possibility that Huddersfield and even Rotherham could beat them. Need Rotherham to be motivated for it though, season over for them, and they might have it somewhere in their minds that it would be better to be relegated with some of the other teams who would perhaps provied less competition for promotion from League One next season
  17. I watched Gary Neville video reaction thing on youtube, and he pointed out that Arsenal losing to us was very different to Liverpool losing to Palace, essentially because we're obviously a good team with a good manager, he also said Arsenal played well, which I think he's right about, we just defended incredibly well first half, and had a plan that worked and in the end deserved our win, but it wasn't because Arsenal bottled it or whatever, as they perhaps have done in the past, if they'd have played like they did yesterday against most teams it would have been a fairly comfortable win
