It was awfully quiet from the start. Probably the quietest I've heard it for a TV match. Odd.  

The attendance was a lot lower than expected as well at 30,800. Most were saying 35k pre-match. And this is with Forest taking their whole allocation.

Auto-playing video are the skirge of the internet, no sound maybe but still very annoying. 

But it's your site I suppose, and if you run at a loss, I understand.

Poor man's Barry Bannan , didn't like him today, don't like him in the team.

Bent ref gave us everything and we still couldn't win. This 4-2-4 isn't working.

pusssies

booooooooooom

STOP CELEBRATING YOU MUGS AND GET BACK TO KICK OFF

**** hell

This is sleepy, our forward are terrible at spotting a pass.

Kit clash 

Villa playing at the same time as Champions League games?! Do i not like that !

We are charging Forest Fans £35 which is a bit of a joke when it's £5 over the Premier League Cap. I know this isn't a problem specific to Villa, but the prices in this shit league are a piss take.

Is this match ever going to go on general sale btw??!

That Bristol City fan view article, you could just swap out the price tag, division and the name for Christian Benteke and it would read how I'd describe him. Always offside, we were a stepping stone, should have squared it more. But essentially an absolute beast of a player. If we have a championship standard Benteke in our squad now I am very excited. 

And a scorer of great goals! Resemblance is uncanny, on paper at least.

Speaks well, I'll give him that.

Spending lots of money doesn't equate to being higher up the table!! There's plenty of examples of this like ermm, us last season! 

We've won 1 in 5 so far.

That said, we have dominated matches and had the most shots on target in the whole league.

I think the season is long enough and there is enough dross for us to beat and get top 6.

Automatic I would deem as unlikely, there are better teams than us in this league. But there isn't 6 better teams than us.

Someone should mention the ACON. We'll lose half our players....it goes on for a while and they always come back shagged too.

We'll literally have to win every game between now and them to give us a chance of promotion.

I can't understand the optimism surrounding this transfer window to be honest.

I think we are weaker than we started in most areas except up front. 

It was the same last summer, we all know what happened after that. 

Part exchanging  Adama for their winger at a loss doesn't seem to be the best bit of business I've seen.

But yay we are spending (wasting) lots of money so lets celebrate! 

How much folks? We've let him go for peanuts I'm guessing which makes it even worse.

The journo who's ITK graeme Bailey has said the deals are unrelated. Player swap deals rarely happen. A lot of fans don't seem to realise this. 

LOL funny isn't it. The type of people who ask for swap deals when you are selling something on gumtree.

I think this will go through as a permanent transfer for around about or maybe just under what we paid for him.

Think he'll do well up there...

Karanka will have seen enough of him at Barca B to work out how to use him...more so than the three managers he's had here.

Indeed. Cheap Fantasy Football transfer only silver lining I can find.

Leaving a club on the slide for a club on the up. Will be a hit at 'Boro no doubt, who already have an exciting looking team.

Sad times.

What evidence is there to suggest he doesn't knuckle down? Oh yes, he's so out of shape isn't he...really let himself go....he's so slow as well, can't beat a man.

Oh hang on this is total BS? 

RDM wanted to keep him remember. 

The defenders we've signed have been pretty shat so far.

It seems leaving a Premier League club = good player.

Not true.

Lets hope they improve, they need too.

We ain't going to do shit with that keeper. He's worse than bloody Guzan and that bald word removed got us relegated.
