  1. SJM loves a Hampden goal. More needed at VP.
  2. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64901699
  3. Totally agree. SJM was off form with Villa, no doubt and I backed him citing the fact that he was Scotland’s international player, three years in a row, saying that despite his poor form, there is a player in there. Just needed his confidence back and a manager to utilise him in a role where he was getting all the accolades with Scotland. There wasn’t much support on here for me but here we are. Hopefully he and the team can kick on.
  4. First half, Trossard was about to burst into Villa half when McGinn sprinted back, slid in from behind and slightly from side and won the ball back. Unfortunately, he timed it perfectly but it was very close to being a foul. Better luck next time.
  5. Magnificent ball by the SJM, now playing centrally. Shit, now done his hammy.
  6. McGinn hogging the right touchline. I actually wiped away a tear from my eye. As well playing Konsa as a false 9 and Buendia as a sweeper. If there is any position that doesn’t suit SJM, it’s a wide right midfielder. Plays on the right in a front 3 for Scotland and he is excellent. Plays a lot narrower there and can effect the midfield as well, but when he is wide right for Villa, a cone would be more effective. Emery clearly has to go.
  7. Hampden I meant. Clearly I am pished. Wife away at Proclaimers in Inverness and I live in Paisley.
  8. Wife at Proclaimers concert tonight in Inverness and she sent me video of Sunshine of Leith being sung by the popular duo. It brought me back memories of SJM winning his last major honour after humbling Rangers at Ibrox. Still think this is best song, sung by fans after a victory….
  9. Great finish to open the scoring v Chelsea.
  10. Where did Kane’s second penalty actually end up………https://t.co/tW1KXKUcQk?ssr=true
  11. Iran, Wales and Senegal. The best team in the WC are out. And breathe…,,
  12. Scotland holds its breath. Come on France.
  13. I think goalscorer is a good looking version of SJM. Probably had a few too many.
  14. Never thought I see the day when a player from my club back in Scotland would be up against Emi and Messi. Come on Keanu
  15. Think UE will realise that SJM doesn’t have the ability at top level to play as a deep or even central lying midfielder but if there is a position for a player to play higher up park, timing runs into the box, pressing defenders, even if it is off the bench, then he is your man. More of an instinctive player than a technical one. Anyhoo, another wonderful goal for us.
  16. Another stunning international goal from SJM.
  17. Emery is clearly a genius. The real deal. To play with 10 men the whole game (overweight Scottish chicken, who has somehow picked up 3 Scottish international player of the year awards in a row) doesn’t really count as a player. Maybe giving him a final swansong before terminating his contract. I am actually at work so never saw the game. I can see that the derision aimed at SJM not there today so he must have played a blinder. Looking forward to the highlights. Brighton going so well as well.
  18. Thought he did really well to instigate second goal. Showed for ball, drove forward, played wee reverse ball which changed angle of attack. I realise that this is a positive message and there is no place for such a thing on this thread.
  19. He has been shocking but so has virtually every Villa player for the majority of season. My argument is, the fan base like a scapegoat and McGinn has been given that accolade. I am a massive SJM fan and on previous posts, I have said he should be dropped. It has annoyed me that he has been singled out though. Today sort of highlights it. He is just part of a massive problem.
  20. Come on McGinn. You have been on park for 5 minutes and done nothing. I blame him for this defeat.
  21. Play 3 or 4 good passes in a row, win a crunching tackle and board are superb and we are a top 6 team casting our eye on Europe. Lose a soft goal, don’t track a runner and board are terrible and need another managerial change. A pendulum like you say.
  22. SJM has been blamed for every defeat in last 12 months, that’s my take on it anyway, so just going along with crowd.
