  1. Should play against Middlesbrough for me. Time to see if he has what it takes to step up.
  2. Confidence in one’s own ability - now that’s the sign of a good coach!
  3. Ok, I’ll move on. It’s been a stressful week for Villa fans no doubt, and Villa fans we all are. Here’s hoping we put the Clarets to the sword so other teams’ results become less of a frustration for us all.
  4. totally get that. Its the posts about the Arsenal and Spurs games somehow adding to that frustration that baffle me. Just don't get that mentality at all.
  5. Respectfully disagree, the Spurs and Arsenal results mean that the blow is lessened. Other teams dropped points too so we move onto the next one.
  6. Sorry, but you're a poor coach if this is how you would move forward from what happened at Old Trafford.
  7. You slag me off, and then embody what I was trying to say to you in the very next post. What a strange interaction.
  8. It may not be an esoteric concept, but it is a concept that strives for perfection in ourselves and completely beneficial external results that seems exhausting to me. Basically what useless says above. These results help cover for our failings in this round of fixtures. What result in the Arsenal and Spurs games would have not made you annoyed after we'd already lost to United?
  9. For the second week in a row, I don't understand this. Aren't you painting yourself into a lose-lose here? We messed up in our game. But then the teams around us messed up too. If we mess up, that's surely what we want? Otherwise, the Arsenal & Spurs games have no bearable outcome. I'm still gutted about our result, don't get me wrong. But these results have taken the edge off, just a little.
  10. It’s the best result for us. You’ll need to roll with the punches a bit better for the long title race ahead, if you’re acting like this after a Villa draw. I know there are other factors, but it was a draw not a defeat - and we are one point off the top on Christmas Day. Pull yourself together man!

    Unai Emery

    He's got some big unsentimental decisions to make now that doesn't disrupt the team togetherness. Cash needs to be phased out, Ramsey needs to be coming off the bench until the ring-rust has gone, Diaby needs to be brought back into form, he needs to bring a couple of quality reinforcements in January, I'm sure he's up to the task - but I'll be worried if none of the above have happened a month from now.
  12. The pathetic attitude towards refereeing and VAR (which I wish didn’t exist, but for different reasons) continues on here. It’s never our fault, is it? Like a bunch of Artetas. We weren’t good enough but still managed to escape with a point. Seasons gone by we would have lost that. Joint top of the table on points tonight. Let’s go to Old Trafford with Pau back and see how we go.
  13. We're flavour of the month by and large, I think that's pretty clear. Of course the odd exception (such as Jacobs above) is pounced on by VTers, but it would be disingenuous to say otherwise.
  14. We're quite reminiscent of the 93/94 Man Utd vintage - Ince, Bruce, Cantona, Robson etc. Mixture of nasty and tough. Even the more traditionally lightweight players like Kanchelskis had an edge. And they won things - not the League Cup though
  15. I've heard he's quite porous so that shouldn't be an issue
  16. Getting rid of the huge chip on our shoulder about our perception in the media would be a good start.
  17. My favourite Villa player right now and on track to becoming my favourite Villa player since I started supporting the club.
  18. Exactly what I popped in to suggest too. Have a feeling he'll play Olsen though.
  19. Yes, no Maybe I don't know Can you repeat the question?
  20. It may sound like copium but actually not being in a situation where we can 'play the kids' in Bosnia might be for the best. Playing a second string and getting Stevenaged with a 4-1 defeat or something could just halt the momentum. Whereas playing a mixed side and resting a few, then getting a 1-0 or 1-1 keeps us on an even keel I reckon. I'm one of Olsen's biggest critics on here but he did OK tonight. Great to see Moreno back and in the goals. We did well against a side who are no mugs. Top of the group, one more competitive game (hopefully) then we're done with this competition until March. A good night's work I reckon.
  21. 'Avengement' is a good one he did. British gangsta martial arts "you slaaaag" straight to dvd type deal, but a very watchable one. Man knows how to fight on camera.
  22. Difficulty ramps up a fair bit from the boss of Irithyll onwards - how you finding it now?
