I literally don't care how much he sulks and neither should you. People are weird. 

So if he is sitting on the ground having a sulk over a decision he hasn't got while play continues and we concede by being a man down , you don't care?

I thought this is the hardest I’ve seen him work probably ever. 

Not really questioning his work rate tonight, my gripe is more the sulking when not getting your free as play continues

If a half of football ever summed him up , this is it, looks the the most dangerous player on pitch but on ground sulking all the game, fair enough the ref is giving Chelsea a free license to do what they like to him but his attitude is pathetic at times

You're expecting something other than a loss against Man U?

Think we can beat any team in this league on our day, the Chelsea game was changed by an individual mistake

Got to go strong in this one, if Chelsea don't put out a full team we can nick something here.

Feels like a loss regardless at the weekend so its pointless to let this one slip as well.

Wha?

I know Butler annoys some people, but here is some perspective. The man has kinda earned the right to be immensely proud and outspoken.

No doubting the man is a great person , the poor guy is also fighting cancer at the moment he told us on previous stream,

but coming online and suggesting Leon is unhappy and villa made promises when we signed him that we are breaking , I can't see how this will benefit Leon's time here,

Leon himself has been struggling with his fitness since he arrived and still is,

the club seem to be trying to keep up good relationship with butler and is great to see butler's academy now playing at home in the villa kit that that the club has sent out their,

Looks absolute baller, but hope to god he isn't made of glass

Are we giving up on Matt Targett after a disjointed pre-season? 

If a better option become available , you bet we are giving up on him but until that day he gets our utmost support, 

By wanting to improve at the cost of a player that has been nothing but classy for us is alway hard, I've been probably guilty of this with mcginn , but if a special player becomes available as I believe CV put it , than ya replace him (is see mcginn a special player so he would have to be very special)

they signed White but he wont fix everything and his only game has been a disaster so far, they signed a few young lads who might come good

Brought a defender today aswel, but this is our transfer thread , so I'll leave arsenal mostly horrible  business alone

well works ok for Leicester, why cant it work OK for us. They have created the structure already, if something amazing comes up they will splash the cash but why should they for a Ward Prowse for example

I'd argue arsenal have improved , they have spend the money in an awful way but they have improved their defence

Think with every team improving around us we have had a window that will keep up with them but think the hopes of Europe will be out of our grasps unless some of our young lads push on at huge rate

Business to replace grealish has been superb (EmiB, Bailey,Ings as that's what we were told was his replacement) , after that we have brought in young and Axel, that's not enough for me , I understand we might go again in January but at that point prices generally are inflated . Think we have all said a 6 was most important and possibly a backup GK , probably 20 million would have gone a long way to secure that, just feel a bit flat considering the great start to the window we had

Relax a little , he needs to earn his right to play and when he gets going , I'm sure he will do well, can't just panic the second he is being asked to earn his place

How do you know?

Were you  abducted by aliens for the a whole summer during the Phillips pursuit ?

Brilliant today , could have been even better only for a referee that was targeting him all day

Young in the more central role isn't working great imo, get Ollie on and let Carney and Dougie sit deeper

How are we still talking about Tammy in the transfer thread?!

You are right, so Timmy anyone?

Big day for Carney, best of luck lad

Just to round up today’s rumours then:

Delaney - going to Sevilla so this is a non starter

Mckennie - we’re not going to be signing a player who scored more goals last season than our 3 midfields combined to play CDM. So this would be a McGinn/Ramsay/Sanson/Hourihane replacement. Effectively, we are stacked at this position, so this ain’t happening either. 
 

Everything is pointing towards our business has already been done, which I’m okay with. Mid-table season again hopefully.

On the bench today which was interesting, obviously DS sees some sort of role for Connor in the team.

Only thing I can think is with grealish and Terry both gone , Connor offers experience around the squad , has always been quite vocal in his time in a villa jersey

Better in second half than first , he is gonna play a big roll in team with all the injuries , wasn't brilliant today but when it counted he put the ball in back of net

Really showed his intelligence today, targett imo gives away a penalty in first half where he pulled out of the challenge , got himself between man and ball and won a few fouls
