Did this commentator honestly just say Palace controlled the game and it's a sucker punch from Villa? What a **** clown

Yup, he has been talking bo**ox most of the game 

This commentator. The decision was not harsh on Palace at all. Clear penalty. The time taken on VAR was farcical.

FFS.

No chance of VAR ruling that one out

Yup a clear and obvious error that one 

VAR is an utter joke.

'Birmingham City Council 'effectively bankrupt'

Don't expect Witten Station to be upgraded anytime soon. 

Unless we pay for it or there is some central government funding.....

although would rather it was Witton station that was upgraded.... Not sure why Birmingham Council would be responsible for a station in North-West Germany. https://goo.gl/maps/zSEbiQDHrgiHr64p8

I think Coutinho's annual salary is close to £7M, so we would actually gain £0M in three years, instead of selling him with £20M even if paying 50% to Barca, we would still gain £10M. 

Depends if we are still paying his salary. If the loan club are paying his salary, and giving us a loan fee, then we do gain. £7m salary not being spent, plus the loan fee coming in. 

FFS, not another injury

Gonna have to put up with 90 mins of the commentators creaming themselves over Liverpool.

The mind boggles that they can spend so much money, have Poch as a manager and still be so utterly terrible.

Joao Felix to Barcelona after all, so at least we can finally leave that one.

Aren't they our feeder club?

Anyone remember the dark days when people were defending Steve Bruce as our manager and saying we should give him more time?

Remember when Steve Bruce said "Who would we get that is better?"

Long may King Unai reign supreme at Villa Park.

Yes, I suppose two places just about counts as "multiple"

Not a good game to judge him on. Needs a week to train and start a few games before we can see what he is about.

I think he will be a good aigning for them

Exactly, first game, a few days after moving, playing against his childhood club in a game where his new club are already down and out. 

Judge him later in the season.

A lighter was thrown at a Man City player during the match

Something appeared to have been thrown at Cash during the game (he was indicating something to the referee) and shortly afterwards there was a tannoy announcement telling people not to throw things onto the pitch.

Utter scum club. Hope they ban them from the club and the Police lock them up.

Much like the Hibs game, we don't look like we're out of first gear so far. Speaking of which, Hibs have sacked Lee Johnson. 

Oh no, hope they don't have a new manager bounce at Villa Park this week.

Brilliant goal. Just brilliant.

Loved Unai's reaction on the touchline.

Burnley will be pleased. On Sunday, Villa will be playing their 3rd match in 7 days, mostly with the same players; Burnley their 1st for 16 days...

Its the fourth game of the season for us, and the last couple of games we haven't really got out of second gear and haven't really played with much intensity and bought on subs quite early, so tiredness is not going to be a factor.

Like Young last game

In fairness, young did get an assist in the Villa-Everton game.

Backache from standing around?

To be honest, this feels like kicking puppies.

Still can't fathom how that was onside

Ball was further up the pitch than Ollie so the pass was back towards him.

Commentators said he'd taken a knock but none of us can seem to remember one occurring.

Dead leg from standing around doing nothing?

Did they just say that Martinez is injured? Better not be.

How? Did he stub his toe in the tunnel or something?

Golden Boot in the competition for Ollie?
