Seconded, link pls

Was it 92 times we've caught teams offside under Emery? I guess every single one of those must've been a crap pass or bad run, couldn't possibly have been coaching it really was dreadful punditry.
-
That's perfectly fair, the lad might still have all the hunger and desire to do really well and keep playing at the top level, I don't want to assume anything negative about him. Just as a general rule I think you'd want to catch players on the way up rather than the way down. I'd hate to find ourselves in a Jack Rodwell situation ala Sunderland is all.

No chance Asensio comes here IMO, and I always have misgivings about signing players unwanted by CL teams. Feels very much like an Everton move that doesn't work out, he sits around on big money for 3-4 years and then goes to play in the Saudi league or China for £500k a week on a free.

Glorious!

Looking forward to the Milan semi-final tonight, feels like I'm back in the early 2000s

Still really **** off about this one, just given those mutants an opportunity to crawl back out from under their rocks. Really irritates me that this was just SO **** predictable after their drubbing last week, losing 1-0 was simply the most Aston Villa thing we could’ve done.
-
Result absolutely telegraphed. 1-0 to them today was nailed on after the pummelling last week
-
I went back and re-watched that Tom Fox interview out of morbid curiosity. Christ alive, we are worlds away from that now!
-
Wouldn't put it past them to have lost on purpose to give Brighton the three points, then turn it on against us next week for their cup final and try to derail us going for Europe. Proper goblins.

Sinisterra out for the season, last thing they needed.

I am begging

All three please

Totally agree, I think it is a symptom of the current trend of impatient, reactionary and entitled social media fans ala AFTV. (Aware this may make me sound ancient, insert "Old man yells at cloud" gif here, but I am only 30 )
-
I'm not saying that's my personal position on the matter, just that I'm not shocked when it does happen.

More grey hairs

Huge if true

*FUNF!

God I hope so

Yeah his full prem record since he was allowed to spend in summer 2020 is (as far as I've worked out) 17 wins, 13 draws and 30 defeats. I actually thought he did a half decent job in 19-20 with the younger players but since then....yikes. He's on 1.06ppg in that run, and dropping every week atm.
-
I agree, I don't think there should be refunds. My point is simply that if clubs are going to treat (relatively) loyal fans as customers, don't be surprised if some turn around and then act like customers in return. I think there's definitely a distinction to be drawn between the two. Although as others have said, it's definitely more of an appeasement attempt on behalf of the players than anything really driven by the fans barring maybe one or two idiots that rang in to TalkSport.
-
I'm torn on it tbh. Clubs treat fans/supporters like customers these days, and as a customer you have a right to complain and get your money back when the product is shite. What are we to clubs? Fans, or customers? They can't have it both ways. I don't think clubs should reimburse fans for crap performances but equally if fans weren't gouged for ticket prices and people had paid £15-20 to be there they wouldn't be half as bothered. You can't charge people a premium for a "high end product" and have players turning up not arsed.

Had a really weird bit yesterday where he showed a turn of pace I never knew he had to get in front of the Fulham attacker in our box and win the free kick. Good defending, I'd just never seen him move like that before Donk is decent, solid squad player who is a Belgian international, I think for a backup CDM we couldn't ask for much more. Good deal for what, the £12m we paid for him? Not let us down at all in the league. I like him.
-
They seem to win games at home despite never actually playing that impressively. I think we can certainly come away with something.
-
I'm optimistic. The amount of fans I saw on social media praying for his guts/arse to settle down for tonight must've made an impact
