  1. Obviously would have been nice for Arsenal to go through but honestly couldn't care less. If anything it was a joy to watch serial cheat Saka fake limp off
  2. Got in there very early. Imagine if we signed this summer would have been twice the price I think.
  3. Tbf as one of their fans said they made 14m in 6 months for him which is damn good. For us it was steal. Who knows how good he'll be but could be worth upwards of 50m next season.
  4. Wait until he gets a pre season with Unai. Man is gonna cook next season
  5. I was literally thinking about this today. Having won yesterday, Dougies forced rest could absolutely be a blessing in disguise as he was looking somewhat jaded of late. Now he should come back feeling pretty revived a raring to go. After the win yesterday we need at least a point from Bournemouth to make it count.
  6. Yes when the job at hand is achieved or we've done as much as we can have no problem handing Ollie extra goal opportunities but for the time being Dougie is the man for pens. He's ice cold.
  7. The win yesterday epitomises why we are currently holding 4th spot in the table. In hindsight you have to laugh at the lack of respect for us by certain fans and media who were fully expecting us to fade out of the CL race. I don't think many of us were confident in getting anything out of the game yesterday but looking at the scalps we've taken this season was it really a huge surprise? Less a surprise than Arsenal bottling it I would say. Arsenal didn't lose the game, we took it to them and won it which is what we've been doing for most of the season. The reality check the media crave has not yet materialised and it won't because it doesn't exist. We are what we are and Unai is what he is. An absolute genius.
  8. What we really need against Lille is an early goal then we can try and dictate the pace of the game maybe get some early subs on. Its going to be a tough one for sure. Apparently French teams were given the weekend off to rest up!!
  9. Yeah we've had the benefit of seeing much more of Ollie. No doubt Benteke was an absolute beast for us and its a shame he left to embark on a downward trajectory, but Ollie has proven himself to be near top of the pile now and getting better.
  10. Take a rough diamond and let Unai polish him off. Waiting.
  11. Yes agree. The biggest problem is not the Ollie/Ivan one....but Southgate and his cherished handbrake.
  12. Just arguing with someone who is adamant Ivan Toney is the better option for England due to his link up play and the fact he's different to Kane. And the old chestnut Ollie had a quiet game etc etc You can't have the season Ollie is having and not be picked. Surely that is just facts?

    Unai Emery

    Manager of the season by a country mile in my opinion.
  14. He's such an important player for us. Absolutely outstanding today. He rarely has a bad game
  15. SJM is unplayable at times. So clever on the ball and a proper bully. A Villa legend in my eyes.
  16. Guy was cooking today. Great confidence boost given his mixed form this season. Deserved MOTM
  17. Well played Zani keep it up.
  18. It's not even a question. Ollie clear by a country mile.
  19. Dreamland. Manager of the season for Unai that's just facts.
