    Santos holding his head when it wasn't even touched. He's going to be in hospital for weeks after tonight for all the injuries he seems to have had at the hands of Villa.

    Lille can have no complaints, though they obviously will whine about this unless they win.

    Santos takes out Digne and then goes down as if he was fouled. He really is despicable.

    New right back on the summer shopping list.

    Santos is a bitchy worm
  6. il_serpente
    He'd end up with 2 yellows

    Do we have any midfielders on the pitch other than Rogers?

    Intereseting that Emi's going long with goal kicks now.

    Have to hope Emi was trying to deaden the game first half and come out with more intent in the 2nd like against Arsenal. I assume he'll want to avoid extra time at all costs. They've had a full week of rest and extra time would favor them immensely, plus it will cause a problem for the weekend regardless of the result here.

    When all the sections of the dishwasher (plates, bowls, glasses/cups, silverware) end up getting full at the same time and you can run it without having to shoehorn something into a slot it doesn't fit well or feeling guilty about wasting water and energy on an incomplete load.

    I gave MOTM to Diego as many others did, but I nearly chose Emi because I think it would have been a different game and probably result if he hadn't made that save on Trossard. Arsenal were generally on top with their tails up in the first half and us having to chase the game that early may have opened the floodgates. A crucial save from a class keeper. Like @maqroll, I was disappointed in the 2 Robbies on US coverage in that they were wondering why Arsenal and Odegaard fell off in the 2nd half rather than acknowledging that Villa made it difficult for them. In their defense, on their podcast later on they were much more complimentary to Villa. We are fortunate to never have to listen to Neville or Carragher commenting on games in the US. The commentator for the US broadcast was Graeme Le Saux, and he is by wide margin the best commentator we get on any of the PL broadcasts over here. He is intelligent, thoughtful and balanced, and gave plenty of praise to Villa. I really enjoy listening to him. They often pair him with Lee Dixon for big matches (i.e., Sky 6 v. Sky 6) over here and he actually manages to make Dixon tolerable to listen to (I know, I know) by giving him something to react to. It also means there's less time for Dixon to open his mouth, which is always helpful.

    Don't get too excited. We all know Villa can't hold on to a 2-goal lead

    That's cool! l always think of it as being dominated by the schools in the north and northeast like Minnesota, Michigan, BU, BC.

    Whatever you do Bournemouth, don’t let United win.

    Doesn’t matter who it deflects off, but needs to be a player immediately adjacent, not 5 yards away.

    Adam Smith subbed off so he can go jot down his thoughts on capitalism.
  18. il_serpente
    I must have been hallucinating. I thought I saw Rashford press someone for a second there.
  19. il_serpente
    Where do 6 minutes come from?
  20. il_serpente
    Let’s get another!
  21. il_serpente
    US feed keeps cutting out and they switch to another game. Then they come back to Villa v Lille at the point it cut out. So we’re like 2-3 minutes behind the rest of you.

    I don't think anyone could acquire a taste for that. I think he was hired by the same people who think people will love Micah Richards' shtick. If they could actually see their audience trying to puncture their own eardrums to escape the torture they'd fire them both. I have to make sure I don't have any sharp objects around when watching in case I accidentally unmute my audio.
  23. il_serpente
    We need Athletico to hold on for the win.
  24. il_serpente
    Post of the thread so far

    Amazing strike by Valverde vs. City. Level again.
