  1. The only and I mean only thing that worries me about Unai and the control he has at Villa is what happens if he does get poached? I’m not talking about United as I genuinely don’t think he’d go to another Prem club but what if Real or Barca came knocking? Do we lose our entire coaching and scouting staff who all came to be with him? Are we leaving ourselves a bit vulnerable? I don’t know.
  2. Been thinking that. I don’t need their new manager bounce ruining my christmas.
  3. I’ve seen this photo doing the rounds, I love it. Footballing art!
  4. I think I’m going to have to actually start supporting the other English teams in Europe. That’s no fun.
  5. Dunno about shocking. I left a full time and it took me nearly 2 hours to get home and over an hour of that was trying to get out of the surrounding roads. I only live 30 minutes away. I never leave early but it wasn’t a nail biter, a crucial game or going to the final kick. I get why people might want to miss the last 5 minutes of the game which might reduce their journey time by 30 minutes. The players weren’t hanging round on the pitch for ages after either, no disrespect to Luton but it was just a routine win.
  6. Quite a few of them ran in his direction pointing at him. He was going nuts celebrating. Must have been a nice moment for him.
  7. Maybe but if we don’t get that early goal and they defend like Trojans, I can see it being quite hard work and the crowd getting quite grumpy as we’ve been spoiled recently and we’re in that dangerous territory where we just expect to brush teams aside.
  8. Didn’t we play Lenglet there recently? Mostar maybe? And he did quite well. I don’t think I’ve made this up but I’m not certain.
  9. Heard a rumour that he was going to the US for some further assessment/ possible surgery. But if that doesn’t go well, it could be a career ender. Didn’t pay too much attention to it at the time but interesting that he’s recently been seen in the US.
  10. Think that Neto injury will tip the balance of the game unfortunately. Could see Newcastle getting an undeserved win.
  11. I’m glad we got the third goal because they were the stronger team at 2-1. They’re a good side so we were unlikely to be dominant for 90 mins so no I don’t think it was disjointed overall but we did look a bit dodgy for a while which has probably been forgotten by fans but Emery won’t have forgotten it.
  12. It’s completely dead, I thought they’d muted the crowd at one point.
  13. People are fickle. If Wilson and Toney are in form by next year, one of them will be ahead.
  14. I have no idea whether he’s guilty or not but presumably the reason that footballers betting on their own team is such a scandal is because they then have a vested interested in the outcome of the match and incidents within it that have no sporting motivation so could be akin to match fixing. Villa just need to protect themselves at this point. I think we will see him feature some more over the first half of the season as we are so hit by injuries but if we do hit a compulsory buy clause after he features a certain number of times, it would make sense to stay clear of that until more is known about these allegations.
  15. I’m watching the Beckham documentary on Netflix (it’s good by the way) and the President of Real Madrid openly states they signed him for his marketing potential. They already had someone in his position and they had to shoehorn him in the side.*** Lehmann is a good footballer, seems like a popular member of the squad and and a good pro, we wouldn’t carry her if she wasn’t but I’m sure the PR and marketing appeal adds to her value off the pitch and would be a consideration in any new contracts. ***not saying Beckham was a dud who only signed for Madrid because of his brand! But that it was a big motivator for them to go after him.
  16. Same, people seem to love him but he’s not impressed me that much yet. Hoping he’ll change that.
  17. Good for him. He’ll enjoy the victory over them at Villa Park even more.
  18. Is Sky glitching for anyone else? It’s completely unwatchable.
  19. Looks terrible and uninspiring.
  20. Suggestion on Twitter that the Polish fans were told to collect their match tickets from a stadium 3 hours away. I think they’ve used this festival thing as an excuse to keep the Warsaw fans away. If it was going to be that much of a problem you think they’d have told UEFA in advance not to give them a home game on that date.
