    It's so weird - has the odd moment where he looks brilliant, but too often looks weak and off the pace. Hopefully he'll be on it on Thursday and after a good preseason be up to Bailey's level next year.

    Yeah, but imagine how amazing it will feel when we win by 3 next week

    Perhaps this is an unrealistically large overhaul of the squad, but strength in depth has clearly been a challenge this year - despite the absolutely brilliant season. I would be expecting Monchi and co will be looking to move 8 out (including loans finishing) and bring 8 in - something like the below. This feels like almost the minimum to compete in league and Europe next season. OUT Olsson Carlos (if it makes financial sense) 1 of Moreno/Digne (if it makes financial sense) Chambers Lenglet Hause (is he still here?) Tim (loan) Zaniolo Total out of playing squad - 8 IN 2nd/3rd choice keeper depending on Gauci 4th choice CB in for Carlos Kosta in as 2nd choice RB - or Kosta out on loan and BIG signing of 1st choice RB with Cash as backup LB signing for Moreno/Digne Back up DM much closer in quality to Kamara Extra CM Attacking Midfielder/winger extra body Archer back Total in - 8

    I've absolutely geeked out and made an excel spreadsheet for our fixtures vs spurs ones. If we get through vs Lille then after this weekend's match vs Bournemouth both us and Spurs have 6 games in 22/23 days from 27/28th April through to 19th May - but two of ours are Conference League games. I.e. our fixture congestion is pretty similar. I think a mid-low case prediction for us is to get to 70 points, picking up 2 wins and a draw from our remaining prem fixtures - this would be a big drop off in form for us (1.4 PPG), 73 points is probably more of a proper mid case prediction (2 PPG). Unless Spurs can get some points off City, Arsenal or Liverpool (who will all still be fighting for the title...) they can only get 69 points, and that involves beating Chelsea at Stamford bridge. Anything could happen of course, but it's ours to lose.

    That was the least up for a villa match I’ve been all season. What a result, brilliant.

    Still on for the title

    Wasn’t expecting Pau, Bailey and Tielemans to start on the bench. Big game for Tim.
  14. SimonVilla
    Win and we're back in the title race

    I’m seeing zero benefit from playing Zaniolo.

    Diaby redemption - here we go.

    Oh ffs

    That ball into Watkins to hold up/lay off/get fouled is working brilliantly.

    Expecting as full strength a side as we can muster with any required resting coming in the Ajax game before full strength again vs Spurs.

    No pie sadly, just a can of Villa branded beer at HT. It’s mad how good Villa are these days, its really quite a stark difference when you haven’t been to watch a match in a while.

    Thanks guys. Yeah, coming thorough New Street, so I think I'll leave it at the station. What's £12.50 after a £120 train ticket? I'll have to remortgage so I can get a Balti Pie at half time too.

    Hi all, Haven't been to VP since pre Covid - I'm travelling for this game and will have a bag as I have a long train journey each way. Is having a bag going to cause an issue/is there anywhere I can safely leave it at the ground? Some mild googling suggests other grounds only let you bring in "an A4 sized bag" which isn't going to carry much. Apologies for the mundane question. Cheers.
  23. SimonVilla
    Oh ffs
  24. SimonVilla
    Time to admit we probably won’t win the league
