    Spurs play sheff united away on the final day. My worry is that they could easily beat Arsenal in the derby game. If they do, that’s Arsenal’s title push probably over and Liverpool don’t look like they are able to keep on winning. If man city win the league before they play spurs that game becomes a gimme for spurs. And they already have the 2 gimmes v sheff united and burnley. Two wins still needed for me. Spurs v Arsenal is huge.

    He covered for McGinn big time today

    Matty Cash

    DakotaVilla replied to paul514's topic in Villa Talk

    Cash is the chaos right back. He demonstrated that perfectly v Lille. We all know we can upgrade here but the boy has the fight and heart of a lion. He’s plenty good enough to be a squad option .

    I totally agree about not taking Bournemouth for granted but Tim is 21 in a few months. He’s not some fresh 18 year old. If he’s not asked to make a meaningful contribution when Tielemans has played 210 minutes in the last week and we have no other options then I fear for his future with us. We will definitely sign another defensive midfielder in the summer so he probably won’t have this opportunity to start such a significant game for us again.

    If he doesn’t start today then real doubts about his long term future at Villa Park.

    Unai Emery

    DakotaVilla replied to PeterSw's topic in Villa Talk

    If we get champions league and win the conference this season will be right up there with anything we have done in modern history. Probably our third best season after winning the league and then winning the European cup. I have absolutely no doubt that by the time Emery leaves us - which will hopefully be long from now and his retirement from football - he will undoubtedly be the greatest manager in our modern history.

    I’m sure it’s part of the tactical plan that Emery has for a specific game state. We will likely see exactly the same scenario tomorrow if we aren’t comfortably ahead at 60/65 min
  8. DakotaVilla
    The players are going to be absolutely ****. They’ve done their part this week. Now it’s our turn. This is the formation for Bournemouth. All All All All All All. All All All All. All

    The man has literally redefined how to save penalties and won his country the copa America, the World Cup in the process. Maybe he’ll win us our first trophy in decades in the same way. It was far, far, far more than just a good save.

    Even King Emi needs a rest. This will only fuel him to be the difference in every other game when he plays.

    No idea on timing from me mate but seems a no brainer to get done asap.

    3k comment was clearly in connection to box park/warehouse. They know they could fill that for every away game.
  13. DakotaVilla
    The CPO is only hard to get if the mayor/council is not supportive…. I strongly suspect they will have to be as there is no significant development of that stand without a CPO.

    A very close friend of mine was at the game last night and stayed in the same hotel as the club. He spent a fair bit of time with some very senior and very recognizable individuals at the club. I won’t name them as I think it’s unfair to do so. Key points relevant to this thread are: - Club is definitely NOT moving from VP. Plan is to stay at VP with significant development planned with big announcements over the next two years. - Box park space with 3k capacity is definitely happening. - Lower Ground and Terrace View were both green lit under Purslow. The comment made was “right idea but in the wrong place”. I trust the information 100 percent and sharing to hopefully put this thread at ease.

    Some posters don’t seem to be to understand game state. Diaby did the hard yards in the first 60 mins v Arsenal and Lille so that Bailey could then come on versus more tired defenders and be a potential match winner. He’s doing a job for the team right now. Yes, we’d love him to bang in a screamer every game but he’s had an extremely decent first season and will be a key squad player in the games to come.
  16. DakotaVilla
    The only positive from that was that he was hooked before full time so hopefully will be the freshest v Bournemouth as we will need a captains performance from him.
  17. DakotaVilla
    Maybe it’s just me but I’m as proud of that performance as I was Arsenal. You can’t play brilliantly every week. We suffered badly today. A long season. So many injuries etc etc but when the tank was empty the players kept going on pure grit, hunger, desire and determination right until the end in a very difficult atmosphere away from home. The penalties under severe pressure were excellent and of course Martinez is the king. The players will learn so much from this game and it’s muscle memory in the bank for future big games where we just have to stay in the game. They are going to be knackered v Bournemouth but no doubt a full Villa Park will give them a heroes welcome and we will carry them through that game.
  18. DakotaVilla
    It’s a very fair call mate. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a young player at Villa respond to elite management so quickly after that performance v luton. Delighted to have egg on my face and full kudos to him, the manager and the coaching staff.
  19. DakotaVilla
    And also maybe he called the man city away game wrong as well after what happened v Brentford. Clearly Unai knows far more than all of us but we’re all always learning.
  20. DakotaVilla
    Have to go full team now v Arsenal or we’ll regret it.
  21. DakotaVilla
    Agree with most of this but with one significant correction - Villa Park is already outdated. It’s a DVD stadium when we are now in a Gen AI age.
  22. DakotaVilla
    It would make no sense for someone with zero ambition or zero faith in our city, our region or our global appeal. Fortunately, I suspect our owners are cut from an entirely different cloth.
  23. DakotaVilla
    It absolutely makes sense. You just choose not to see that as a viable outcome yourself. That’s on you. The club will leave Villa Park at some point unless the council CPOs land for us. It’s as simple as that.
  24. DakotaVilla
    He’s not infallible. He’s said the same himself. It’s extremely dangerous to even suggest that any manager is beyond critique or question.
  25. DakotaVilla
    If we try our best and fail that’s fine. However, in this context right now, if we throw away games and then fail to win the conference or qualify for champions league we would fully deserve that outcome. Let’s put our best foot forward and pick our best team.
