What does Chambers have to do to get back in the starting 11?

Just watching the highlights again and after McGinn slipping and then Konsa slipping for the first goal, I noticed that Young also slipped as he was attempting to head the ball away which ultimately ended up going off his shoulder into his own net. You've got to wonder why Villa players seem to slip a lot more than other teams' players seem to. Saying that, we didn't seem to have much fight in us and in my opinion only Buendia, Young and Martinez looked like they wanted us to win. After watching Spurs today we could be on the wrong end of a severe scoreline in the next game unless we have our wits about us. Spurs looked very good especially in the second half. They're quick on the ball and drive it fast from midfield.

Why were the Leeds fans abusing Mings?

They scored after 40 seconds!!

That's the plan. I did a tour of Villa Park recently and the tour guide was saying that work should start in the next 18 months or so. However, they probably need another 15,000 seats to accomodate all the people waiting for season tickets but they can probably only add another 10,000 to the current 9,000 capacity of the North stand so there will still be a shortfall.

We were standing watching the event on the grass bank and also saw/heard the large group of Man Ure fans walking into the Holte entrance. To be fair, the police did their job and moved them back pretty quickly although, as you say, how were they allowed to get that far up the road so easily?

I see what you did there

I'm sure he will!

You should still isolate for 10 days (now 7 days) even if you test negative after a few days. Those are the Government rules.

The referees need to do more about simulation. Once a few cards are handed out for it then the message will start to get through. It's a shame as Salah's a superb player but he lets himself down by having to resort to cheating.

It's for Ray Kennedy

He's probably convinved it's broken and needs an x-ray

Yes, amazingly, it is correct. John Gregory was the first Villa manager to win his first two matches.

COYVB!

Mings has a cracked rib (he was heavily taped up last week) and both McGinn and Ramsey are having to isolate due to COVID.

...and, let's not forget, what they are paid handsomely to do!

A good job the ref and his assistant missed it as well! Would have been a clear penalty.

He can't because he'd get mistaken for the FA Cup!!

If Watkins was booked for simulation the other week why doesn't Deli Ali get booked for the same today? Complete dive in the box and nothing.

Come on Villa. You can do this!

Are you still watching the Man City game?

Get in!

Barkley's first pass, straight to the opposition!

Three times on the trot now Emi has kicked the ball out for a throw in.

Yeah, I just read that as well. If it is his ACL then he'll be out for about 9 months.
