VAR doesn't change crap decisions , it makes the chances of them happening less but a crap ref is a crap ref even when he's or she's watching it on TV. VAR should stay it just needs better standards to interpretate the rules. How Doug got sent off is still a mystery that should be explained by the decision makers .

Remind me of us second season in the PL under Smith, free flowing and enjoying playing football. Problem will come when they lose a game their expected to win, indifferent results can then follow. May not happen to them but it seems to be the way it goes with teams that appear to be outperforming their squads ceiling. It's a free hit for us, keep them quiet for 20 minutes and with the pace we showed against Brentford ( I know it was only Brentford) we could easily nick a goal or two. Bailey, Beundia, Ings and Watkins are a formidable attacking threat when they play with confidence and after Brentford they should have it. 3-1 to villa.

Very effective on the left side, can't believe it's more or less the first time we have seen him play there.

My mistake, his contract at QPR expire may 23

Have a feeling this guy's going to be our player of the season.

Just read his contract expires May 2023, we need this sorting ASAP , he looks like he's going to be a Premier League player.

Ramsey even found space in Gerrard's formation and was our most effective player linking up with Coutinho. Plenty of time for him to develop.

He's been as guilty as most but we need to give him a chance with some decent coaching.

Only scoring 2 away to spurs .

Cracking game on the cards , Newcastle doing well but slipped up a bit and we're on a high. If Newcastle beat us then they are closer to top 6 than most people think, my thoughts , they are a good team overachieving, I think we canm beat them , 3-1 , villa .

Yea......they were all wrong. They should now have the nouse to employ someone who would have seen through Gerrard's weaknesses and move onto someone else.

Wanted him out but if he's negotiated Emery then he's proven me wrong, I'm happy as Larry.

I think McGinn will benefit more than most from Emery and his detailed analysis of playing styles. McGinn has some quite unusual skills , yes he can be careless with his passing but the way he can pass players and his energy levels are both good skill sets. I think, hope, he will be a major asset Playing in a team that has no movement is a major factor that hasn't helped any of our creative talent, an area Emery (and Danks fwiw) will improve. Its a new beginning for us all and that includes John McGinn who's effort levels have never been in doubt UTV.

We need some consistency in the coaching department. Managers come and go .

5 good players , that will transform us.

Well he's experienced and that means a lot after Gerrard. Be interesting to see how he deals with our fringe players/youngsters and the Countiho issue. I love football, especially the Aston version of it. UTV

You would do but I'm a bit suspicious of the Shetland comms cable that's just been lost, coincidence?

Gerrard deserves another chance , think it was just a bit of bad luck at villa, poor players, bad owners and toxic fans. If Klopp continues to mess things up then Stevie at Liverpool would really show his worth, great players , great owners and heroic fans , walk on Stevie, walk on.

Let's just steady up, there's still a player in there , not a 90 minute player but he has some great vision. Last 20 minutes if we need something then he's a play that the opposition will not want to see on the pitch. Plus he's going to be very expensive to get rid of.

Shit squad my arse. So relieved. UTV

Start with Nakamba in front of a back 4, then Doug, Ramsey, McGinn, Beundia, Watkins. Can't afford to lose this one despite not having a manager, if we do then we have to be odds on for relegation.

After last season's manipulation of the results why is anyone surprised that it's happened again. F1 as sport is finished , it's WWE for motor racing.

Purslow is a big issue, if he hasn't lined a manager up after the start we have had then it pure and simple incompetence. As soon as we lost to Bournemouth the little black book should have been out but his fan boy worship of Slippy G got in the way. Purslow has to go for us to get to the next level. NWSE need to show there worth.

So he left Gerrard to manage QPR.......he's probably the biggest reason Gerrard failed and Gerrard must know that especially after his comments on how great he was which probably contributed to Beale getting the QPR job. Yea I'm loyal, 'as long as it suits me'. Beale.

There's 15,188,406 of em , unfortunately.
