Defends rashly and can't cross, perfect blend for a Premier League fullback 

Performance was **** embarrassing. So many completely off the pace, we didn't look ready for the game at all. 

Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch 

Moussa Diaby, he drinks sauvignon, he eats bourguignon, he loves the Villa! Buzzing with this signing, anyone staying up to watch his debut tonight?

A proud proud absolutely wankered dad . Whos last words were up the villa  . All those away trips to watch his son play as a kid and taking him training 2/3 times a week. And 15 years later his son starts a champions league final and wins it .

His loyalty is 100 percent first to his son . And then after that its Villa . If anyone thinks it should be the other way round then give your head a big wobble.   

Absolutely right, can't blame his dad at all and he has every right to be proud of his son. Still couldn't ever bring myself to wish Grealish well though - he plays for another English club who we are in "direct competition" (in a manner of speaking) with for 3 of the 4 competitions we'll be in next year. If anything, I'd want to beat them in the FA Cup final on penalties and hopefully see him cry

100% it’s been a great season, and actually, whatever happens this weekend we’ll go into the last game of the season with a mathematical chance of making it. Incredible. 

Best points tally since before I went to university in 2010. So many ruined weekends over the last 13 years, thank you to Don Unai and the players for making us believe again. Let's get over the line and grab 7th!

Not only that but teams like Liverpool have used it to great effect for years under Klopp.

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.

Madrid do want to keep him, though? They're trying to get him on a new contract as his current one expires in the summer, but talks have been slow (Madrid have offered less than his original contract, signed when he was being touted as a possible future Ballon D'or winner)

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

Bring back Wyness and his Alexa.

Or Tom Fox and his false narratives.

Those where the days.

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 know, I wasn't being funny. I think the Sky 6 thing has really sucked perspective out of their fan bases. 

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 see your point, but I disagree. When you buy a match ticket, you are buying access to the event, to watch a game of football. You are not buying a ticket to watch your team win. Win lose or draw, you got what you paid for. 

 

I'm not saying that's my personal position on the matter, just that I'm not shocked when it does happen.

Any difference between 8th and 17th?

More grey hairs

Everyone knows that Purslow is nothing more than a puppet for The Tea Lady. She’s been pulling the strings for too long and it was she who blackmailed Purslow into hiring Gerrard as she tried to get him in her bed.

She also threatened Nassef and Wes after she threatened to release the dirty pics she has stored on her 1gb usb pen drive. 
 

the above is all made up btw (in case of libel).

Huge if true

I’m still in disbelief looking at the table. We’re in late, late April and we’re 5th(!)(fifth, cinco, fem, fimm*).

And we have a cup final specialist for our next five cup finals. It’s in our hands.

*FUNF!
