  1. Refs cost us 2 points... In a season full of terrible refereeing performances, that might have been the worst of the lot in Villa matches so far. Bournemouth should have had at least 1 red card in the first half, and you could have made the case for a second. So many fouls not called in the second half when they kicked the Hell out of our players outside their box over and over and over again. Pathetic, once again. Dibu kept us in it. Brilliant header from Ollie to equalize.
  2. I've said it before, but the Premier League needs to recruit and hire the best refs from around the world. The best Prem refs have fooked off to the Middle East now and now the Premier League is scraping the barrel from the EFL for their replacements.
  3. Yeah, it sucks that the goal was called back, but Digne was obviously offside. Anyone arguing against that is on one today... I'm upset about their 24 not getting a second yellow. You just know he's going to score/assist another goal because of that poor decision.
  4. I've been following football and supporting the Villa since 2006 and in that time I've seen nothing but cup final disappointments. The only trophy I've seen us win was the promotion playoff final and while that is one of the highlights of my fandom, it's not something I want to look back upon as the high point of Aston Villa in 20 years. You get the feeling that under NSWE & Emery, Champions League footy will come to the club at some time in the next few seasons by gravity alone and I've seen too many past Villa managers punt our cup runs to "focus on the league" and have it backfire anyway. Give me a cup win any day over Champions League qualification.
  5. Pretty sure Diaby was signed because Williams didn't want to leave Bilbao. With Bailey looking significantly better this season, we'd be better off spending big on finding a better left sided player to compete with Buendia next season instead of Zaniolo.

    Unai Emery

    You mean the magazine who posted this video on Tuesday?
  7. It's such a lazy observation from media pundits/social media commentators that Villa being in Europe is a downside and is going to hamper our Premier League form later in the season. Nobody brings that up at all when you talk about Man City, Arsenal, Man United, Newcastle, or even Brighton this season, but you hear it nonstop about Villa and West Ham. We actually have better depth in our squad than Man United, Newcastle, Brighton and West Ham do, and we have an elite manager who has actually won as many European trophies as the rest of the Premier League's managers combined. I'm not worried about the "Europe effect" at all on our league form. I'm much more worried about our away form, but I'm willing to bet that Emery is even more concerned and is already working on addressing it himself.
  8. How the Hell is that not a corner at least? That fat fook Simon Hooper really is one of the worst refs in the Prem, and that says something...
  9. Great... Can't wait to see people suggest Pavlidis every window for the next 5 years because he had one good game against us. Vagner Love 2.0.

    Arsenal

    Hilarious to see the "Arteta Out" crowd is starting to form. Arsenal fans really are the biggest crybabies in football.
  11. Wow... No idea how that goal has been given... The ball is clearly out of play There is a blatant foul on the Arsenal defender there by Joelinton Why even have VAR if stuff like this isn't overturned?
  12. lol... Mourinho was the one who brought him to Roma, played him through the good and the bad, now he is just going to give up on him after clawing his way back from an ACL injury? Never change, VillaTalk. Never change.
  13. I was crucified for saying I hated this signing back when it was announced. It's almost like he's done this before at Leicester and Monaco...
  14. Delighted with this news! He's incredibly underrated by our own fans and the neutrals. I would love nothing more than Ollie to end up being our all time leading Premier League goal scorer ahead of that waste of space Gabby.
  15. I need to back out. I'm already in too many fantasy leagues right now as it is.
  16. Keystradamus, can you predict some winning lotto numbers for me? What about an NFL betting lock for this weekend?
  17. Top 2 Goalkeeper in the world with Courtois... Won't get the respect he deserves because he plays for the Villa and had a lackluster World Cup by his standards. Absolutely vital to our standing in the table and will be nearly impossible to replace if he moves on. It's critical for us to win something and stay in Europe this season to keep him next season because if he goes, I have a bad feeling that we will regress and fall out of European contention again.
  18. I don't know why the Premier League can't get the refereeing situation figured out but most of the other top leagues in the world can? Even during the Alex Ferguson era where he was paying off/giving significant gifts to the refs it wasn't this poor. This is the best and most profitable football league in the world, why are they not hiring the best referees from around the world to go along with it? The PL/FA need to stop burying their heads in the sand and hoping it sorts itself out because it's getting worse year after year.
  19. I like him... It's rare to have really good touch and control when you're a big man, but Zaniolo seems to be built for the Premier League. Once he gets used to the lack of space and his teammates movements, he's going to be an issue for the opposition's defenses.
  20. Another great performance from him tonight. Hopefully he keeps on proving us all wrong (myself included in this).
  21. lol... Some of the hot takes on here are hilariously bad. Torres is going to end up being an exceptionally good defender for us by the end of the season, once he gets used to the pace of the Premier League. Everyone is acting like Mings hasn't made huge mistakes during the past 3.5 years for us... Apart from the mistake leading to the goal (the one where Konsa and Martinez also played a part in conceding), he was excellent today. No idea why he's the new scapegoat all of a sudden when Konsa is hands down the weakest link in our backline at the moment.
  22. Konsa has only played well beside Mings... Been absolute garbage under 3 managers partnering anyone but Mings... But you're right, let's write off Torres because Konsa can't pick up his man and defend 1v1.
