He didn’t leave one him though. he won the ball cleanly and buendia’s momentum took him into Gray. looked far worse than it was. If I thought he’d gone to leave one on him I’d say, Bamford getting one back on your cb was worse. I thought the Leeds fans saying he’s 16 was stupid, if he’s playing men’s football age doesn’t matter, But still doesn’t make Mcginn any less of a prick.

You’re talking like villa fighting for Europe last season and weren’t lucky to escape relegation the other year through Hawkeye not working. You’ve not broke the top 10 yet. You’re very much where we are

Exactly, the way I look at big clubs isn’t about the money as that just skews things. growing up in the 90’s for me spurs were nothing but a mid table team to me, but I understood they were a big club. they had a history behind them decent size stadium and big support. That’s a big club to me not who’s got the most money. same with the likes of leeds, villa everton, Newcastle spurs Man City of the time as well. Then you had the likes of man united Liverpool massive arsenal just behind Chelsea and city have now artificially inflated themselves but I still really don’t see them bigger than I did in the 90’s & even if clubs do get relegated that never changed the size of club to me, it just meant they had worse team with less money nothing else.

Ok then, we still playing this game. If we weren’t there would have been all the fuss about us being back in the premier league, whether you’ll admit it to yourself or not we are as are villa no question just a bit of a bland one.

This is very rose tinted you created 1 chance in open play which was the Watkins chance. We had 3/4 chances that worked your keeper In my opinion taking into consideration we’re not trying to be a possession team anymore we want to press you to give it away which worked 3/4 times. You might have had more ball but there wasn’t anything between the teams really. With regards to the supposed rivalry. Villa were always a meh team to me growing up big club well supported had no particular feeling one way or another with them. They were just there. Still are really. I don’t think many fans particularly care about villa either other than the midlands teams obviously we are different the whole country seems to have a problem with us. we all hate Leeds scum is sang everywhere and yes that’s at old Trafford as well for those who say it’s a one sided rivalry. I think it’s pretty much us both basically being big clubs well supported on the same trajectory for the last few years meaning we’re comparing ourselves off against each other. As for the tackle I’m not mad about yes, McGinn is a bit of prick wanting to leave one on him but it doesn’t bother me, I prefer feisty games with a bit of edge. but at the same time that’s why I didn’t like grealish or the whinging of him and dean smith and yes villa fans doing the exact same going mad over tackles on grealish that you’re taking the piss out of Leeds fans for now.

Haha not anymore!!!!!

fall from grace they are a point behind.

Depends on how you look at it in hindsight the Martinez signing looks worth it but you paid £20 million on a keeper that only played 15 games for arsenal and at 27 hadn’t played 100 games in his career most of which were in the lower league but at the time arsenal could have felt like you were paying way over the odds for a keeper that has barely played for them. But it as has worked out. just people think you’ve paid over the odds for buendia who didn’t exactly shine in the prem with norwich with white I’m certain he’ll prove to be money well spent so in the end arsenal will happy they did

Or it could be that sheff United Barely scored goals in the first season, top scorer was sharp on 6. Then they signed players like Brewster who couldn’t score goals. So those 1-0 wins in the first season became 1-0 losses in the 2nd. leeds have had no issue scoring goals this season. Even if they dried up a little next season that wouldn’t see them struggle as sheff United have

Like I said, there are plenty on this thread that are annoyed Leeds are above you so it’s not 1 sided as you’d like to convince yourselves

Haha don’t be daft if anything it’s the other way around... all we’ve heard this year is.. why is Bielsa getting praise what about the job Dean Smith is doing or we are they getting praise for losing 4-3 at anfield we beat the champions 7-2. If anything it’s your fans that have the jealous streak that we stole your thunder doing so well on our first season back after both clubs suffering lows but it’s taken you 2 years to have a good season and us 1.

no it’s a myth that we have. £27 million on Rodrigo who’s been in and out injured all season £20 on llorente who’s played 10 games. £13 million on Koch who’s been injured for 3 months £17 million on raphinha who’s played most of the time the 2 other signings were players we had on loan last season. £5 million on mesisler £16 million on Costa. so £77 million on 4 players that haven’t featured together all season. & from reading your Leeds thread most seem to think our squad is poor and we’ll go the way sheff United have next year how much have you spent in 2 years?

I appreciate some of these points but Douglas was a regular for the first half of Bielsa’s first season got injured the 2nd season he wasn’t first choice. That was either allioski or Dallas who are still playing now. mesilier was with us last season and played the last 8 games of last season berardi was injured in the final game of the season only just got fit forshaw has been injured for almost 2 years but klitch who plays the same position has been at Leeds for 4 years. I will agree on Hernandez but he’s been replaced by Rodrigo who’s been injured on and off all season so we are currently playing Tyler roberts who has been with us for 4 years as well. We brought in 2 CB’s in the summer 1 llorente has only managed 7 starts the other Koch has been injured for 3 months. So we’ve spent the season playing with ayling and either Cooper or strujk who both have been with us for years. the only signing that wasn’t here with us last season that has consistently played is raphina
