  1. Unai has done brilliantly. We're not as good a team as we think. Mentality is also another issue - extremely fragile under pressure.
  2. What does that even mean? You can't have a no excuse culture in such a corrupt league. We're up against it most weeks.
  3. I don't agree. You can't say we've deserved the injuries we've had, which have been a big factor at key times this season. You also can't suggest we've deserved to face United, Newcastle and Spurs on their absolute best days this season when all 3 have been largely shite or jammy elsewhere. Football doesn't work the way you suggest. The concept of merit is elusive when it's not a level playing field out there.
  4. Yes but also a big missed opportunity. You can't just ignore or dismiss that because of where we are. But hey, we're Aston Villa. Undisputed champions of missing big opportunities.
  5. Anyone who thinks these refs aren't making money for their mates or betting on games just like some of the players evidently are needs their head checked. It's so **** obvious there's fiddling going on.
  6. He could try receiving a basic pass to his feet and not inexplicably putting it out of play.
  7. It's not the local Sunday league team this. These tickets cost £35-60. It's premier league - the fans pay the inflated prices to go along to be entertained. I don't blame anyone who's sitting there yawning. I lost my voice screaming the lads on against Spurs and got humiliation to take home with me for my troubles, sometimes it's down to the XI men on the pitch to play better, not on the fans to make it so.
  8. You should know by now that the VP crowd reflects what's on the pitch. We're never going to be the type of fanbase who gets the team going, we need the team to get the fans going and then it becomes symbiotic. At the end of the day it's the lads on the pitch being paid silly money to be there, not those in the crowd paying their hard earned money to watch 11 lads looking ponderously at an opposition wall. When the team plays up, the fans wake up. It's always been that way at VP.
  9. No we just need to be better - cannier, quicker, better movement. Right now we're just standing over the ball waiting for Brentford's shape to crumble. Daft.
  10. Bailey looking like his old self here so far.
  11. I think we might concede first today, but hopeful for a comeback win.
  12. Say what you want about their achievements, how good and stacked they are, what a good coach he is, their football bores the **** tits off me. At least Liverpool, as unbearable as their fans are, are mightily exciting to watch. Their dynamic counterattacking football will beat out Pep's endless plodding passing for entertainment value all day long.
  13. Personally, I don't want him at Villa any longer.
  14. Please please no injuries now. 10+ minutes left and zero subs left.
  15. Yeah, Olsen's done his best. He has not been the problem tonight.
  16. The old El Ghazi trick We're getting hammered gaffer, take me off
