Vive_La_Villa

If he gets golden boot and top assists to fire us to 4th surely he has to be player of the season. Who’s had a better season?

Didn't Sky put the table up that we were on 66 points having beaten Bournemouth by 2 goals on Monday?

Yep exactly that. I bet on Villa to win 2-0 and also a bet on them to win by 2 goals which came in. 
 

It’s very strange.

Very tricky. As I thought we looked flat as hell against Lille. 

Even trickier thought… how does Kamara fit into all of this?! Recent performances and progress makes me think we actually only need one of Luiz or Kamara…. 

Kamara and Luiz when both fit will alway start in big games. 

I want to know who put the sky sports table up on Monday and ask him what the score will be next week.

He’s simply amazing! The best in the league this season imho. 

Agree. Pretty incredible some fans felt he wasn’t good enough for this level not that long ago.

I really like Matty Cash, I think he will always be loved by Villa fans. He's a top lad, but I think we can improve on him in the summer. 

This is fair. 

Bit disappointed to see the criticism he is getting after a 3-1 win. Guy works his socks off.

Fires us to top 4 and I think he should be Premier League player of the season. 

This guy is going to be some player!

Great job guys well done. I  was sitting in the Doug Ellis  and heard you singing throughout. Only thing I would say is because you were so far from the holte you could hear two completely different songs being sung at the same time. I think if you could get a stand near to the holte for future games it could work even better. 

We’re such a good team. 

Sky sports called it !

In my ideal world, the back 4 is Konsa-Mings-Torres-Moreno back to his last year form. Tyrone does everything Carlos does, but taller, and faster, and would also organize on defense.

I could see this. Konsa is better in the middle but we miss Mings so much at set pieces we just need him back in the team. 
 

You need to post more!

John McGinn now is the Butterfly Effect made flesh. His actions influence society and indeed the Universe, eons into the future.

Tried to explain to the missus it was McGinn’s fault I drank too much last night but she just wasn’t getting it. 

I wouldn’t be surprised if we failed to win tomorrow but then beat Chelsea and Liverpool. 
 

it’s a funny old game.

Mmm, we'll have to disagree yeah. You see he was playing shit. So people said "Bailey is playing shit".

Not quite though. Many started saying ‘’Bailey is shit’’ rather than just playing shit.

Back on topic I’m confident Moussa will come good.

Just thinking of our general shoot out record. Am I right in thinking the only serious shoot out we've lost in last 30 years was 1999 against West Ham? And that match got replayed in the end because they put on an ineligible player.

We've had the shoot out wins v Tranmere, Inter Milan, Bolton, Sunderland and West Brom before last night so a very good record indeed compared to most clubs.

Think it's due to the keepers we had at the time being great presences for those occasions. Bosnich, James had that Emi type presence facing penalties and Guzan and Steer also did well in the more recent ones. Also usually have a core of experienced penalty takers which helps aswell.

I can’t remember this !!

Bad Bailey was much worse than Bad Moussa. So far.

Bad Bailey was never that bad in my opinion. Just became a scapegoat for some reason.

He struggled in a team that was struggling. Diaby is struggling in team that is 4th.

I’m not doubting the guys ability for a second. Just would like to see him try to beat a man and get a cross or shot off more often. Seems reluctant to try. 
 

Bailey even when he was apparently shit kept trying.

Its why I think it’s more a confidence thing than anything else.

I'm okay with Olsen at home against Olympiakos. Not great, but, better than having him start in that environment. It's my hope that the fans who can attend that game saw the Lille match and step up their enthusiasm to lift the team.

Watching Olympiakos, I believe they don't present the same kind of threat as Lille so defense needs to step up to fill the giant Emi-shaped gap.

Then he comes back for the match in Greece and just bestrides their world like a Colossus.

 

(I know that's Roman, not Greek, I'm an American from the dumb southern part of the country and I'm quoting Shakespeare, grade me on a curve please)

It’s a football forum mate, trust me you would have got away with it

I’m pissed off he’s suspended for the 1st leg. The ref was an idiot and now he can’t play because he asked for a ball?

There has to be some way to remonstrate

Nah he got the second yellow for gesturing a calm down straight after the ref told him not to engage with fans.  The time wasting yellow was stupid though.

At this moment sounded like even Lucy Ward was criticical of the commentator herself

 

Watching that again the ref booked him but knew the rules so explained to Dougie he’s not sent off.  Fair play he knew that rule. If only he knew that every time a crowd boos you don’t have to give a yellow card.

He’s crazy. I like him!

Lucky feckers!

Unlucky more like. Just look at how many Premier League games they have to play in a very short space of time not to mention the teams they play.  I’ve said it before but if they get top 4 after that then hats off to them. They deserve it.
