I've only seen this in my imagination. The closest in term of the score was Sunderland 2013. It came with a Benteke hatrick, we've been playing great that time (after some of the worst results). I don't think there is something like this, everyone kept looking at us as a team that barely stayed up. We've only beaten the worst sides. Just  to come and write history and smash number after the other! I wanted us to get 8-2 but  7 isn't bad at all! Everyone kept calling, messaging and congratulating me.

I was watching Spurs and Utd and was imagining and hoping  for us to smash Liverpool with them getting 2-3 red cards somehow. We done without red cards!

If they had been down to 10 men, we would have struggled to break them down and it would have ended 0-0 at best

The performance was brilliant ..... BUT we are shocking at social distancing!

Liverpool's defenders showed how well they can socially distance this evening.

Hearing both he and lamsbury have deactivated their twitter accounts due to abuse. 

Like i said previously amazed that he's getting the abuse. 

To be honest, it's not that surprising. You only need to look at this thread and then realise that coupled with social media being a cesspit that some people will feel empowered to send abuse to him.

I get he's been underpar recently (although there were probably 7/8 players worse than him last night) but some fans really need to take a long hard look at themselves before pressing "Tweet".

He still looks really fit as well, I wouldn't rule out him getting another deal here.

If he's still up for the challenge, I would be more than happy to give him another year personally.

Good luck to him.

I'd be surprised if there aren't Force Majeure clauses in most of these contracts.  Whether this classes as a Force Majeure event is arguable I would guess but maybe new legislation could dictate it is.  This could open major issues outside of football so would have to be weighed up significantly but maybe some legal boffin on here might know better as I work on business contracts as a finance person so I know a bit but my legal team obviously understand and look after that side of it.

A lot of Force Majeure definitions I see specifically include pandemics as a force majeure event so I would be surprised if they didn't either.

To add to that, most FM Event clauses allow early termination but only after a set period (3/6 months is usually typical in the contracts I see) so we could see sponsorships etc end early, but not for another couple of months if we have no football.

Regarding extensions of contracts etc, this will depend ultimately on what the parties agree (and, if our club has been proactive and got a replacement sponsor etc, they will also need to ensure it doesn't cut across anything that contract says).

Approx 50 just released in M1 

A few more appearing as well - all in the same block. I wonder if they are tickets taken off people after Sunday or returns?

How very peculiar, I wonder how these odd tickets are coming about.

They will be cancelled tickets that have been illegally sold on a third party site. How I got my play off final ticket last year.

Member with 5 games who missed out should check website at the moment. I haven't got the 5 but it keeps changing from coming soon back to sold out, which would indicate that are few are going for sale but they've held eligibility at 5 games.

I've just bagged a cancelled ticket in 527. I wasn't going to be in the country but am now so got very lucky!

Where was our supposed LB? That was his man. That was his tackle to make. Even in the highlight I saw Luis, McGinn and Mings, where TF was Taylor?

Taylor had been tackled up the top of the pitch after being given an absolute hospital pass of a ball from McGinn IIRC

My daughter is nearly 3 (in October) and doesn't have capacity to sit through a game although will watch bits of it with me/celebrate a goal (much more common last season).

She knows when I'm off to watch the Villa, and will often ask if she can come with me to the stadium (although I don't think she really appreciates where I am going).

She knows the Super John McGinn song though  and instantly recognised a Villa shirt worn by someone when we were at Peppa Pig World last weekend (makes me proud)!

She needs to be 4 years old to become a Cub member so will probably get her one next October and maybe start with a women's/under 23 game where the atmosphere isn't quite so loud (although she is used to me screaming at the TV ).

I have no problems with it if it's 12 years to the date, cause then it actually has a valid reason. If it didn't, as per my original question, then why have it? We can't have applause and silence for everything in the world every single match. 

But like I said, if it's 12 year to the date, I see the point of it. 

It is 12 years to the date.

Maybe I am a bit biased but the Wesley penalty claim. Yes the keeper got the ball but he still took him out

Keepers are allowed away with murder

Clearly not in Heaton's case!

Anyone know if this will be open pre-match and whether it is just ST Holders as per previous seasons?

If so, what time does it open?

TIA!

Down to 882

1,427 left by my watch

Ah, Villa Village!

When I was younger, I used to think Villa Village was an actual village with shops, pubs, a school, a little village green where the players would train, a church, an award-winning chippy, all dedicated to Villa. 

Imagine my disappointment. Especially when I found out there was no chippy. 

 

You were lied to as a child.*

*Appreciate this isn't in Villa Village but it's close enough

Crunch talks with Bournemouth?

No disrespect, well, actually, yes, lots of disrespect. But what on earth can Bournemouth offer Mings? We're the biggest club he's played for... and at the moment, it seems, we're the biggest club bidding for him. Time for Bournemouth to invoke a bit of 'Disney realism...'

"Let him go... let him go...

He's the hero of Villa Park...

Let him go, let him go...

The Cherries offer nothing, anyway."
