  1. Just got back. Great result. I thought we played well on the whole, there was a 10min spell after the pen where we looked ropey but 2nd half was class. Ollie came out like a bloke possessed, he was unplayable 2nd half. I also thought Youri had a very good game. Cash was all over the place the whole game, we have to improve at RB. Diaby was also crap until his goal, it seemed to settle him down a bit. 3 more points for our CL quest, it's been a brilliant week for us.
  2. Managed to get some tickets for this, 4 of us going. Last game I went to was Legia and my Dad printed off the tickets. Dumb question - if I was to WhatsApp the pdf to each person going, can they be scanned via a phone on entrance or do I need to print them still?
  3. Last night was the most ever Villa way to win a tie. IMO we were poor but probably created the best chances - Cash, Dougie, Duran all score on another night. Other than their 2 goals, they didn't really create a lot. You just knew if it went to pens we'd win though. My lad is 17 and he wanted it to go to pens, even at the start of ET, cos, as he said, we have Emi and we will win. He was spot on. It was all a bit mental and I've woke up this morning with a thick head, a sore throat - my neighbours must of thought I was laying the smackdown on my family with the amount of shouting cos of the ref - and a need to rewatch the game, or at least that shootout a few hundred times. Bring on the Greeks
  4. Interesting reading other forums and their views of him. In the main, they think he's a dick but also a few who say they like him and he's a character. What he is, once you strip back all the theatrics, is a winner. He does all the shit housing but he more than backs it up with his actions. Last night, he got in the Lille players heads. Same he did in the Copa v Colombia and the WC Final v France. Did the same to ratboy at Old Trafford. He's just a different level and all them opposition fans who despise him would have him in their goal, at their club in a heartbeat.
  5. Both them teams looked utter shyte.
  6. He's more likely to smash it and it start orbiting Pluto by 9pm.
  7. Konsa needs dropping. He's doing my head in, it's almost like since the England games he's got a massive ego on and plays half arsed.
  8. Get Duran on and just f##k it up to him for the last 10.
  9. Cash has been shyte. McGinn is turning in a League 2 performance. And to top it off, we've got a massive bell end of a ref again. Expecting and need a massive response 2nd half.
  10. He wound me right up in the 1st leg. Just like Saka, go near the prat and he's on the deck. It's clear he's half decent as well which makes it worse as just no need to behave like that. He will soon get a good crunching and learn his lesson the hard way.
  11. Bit disappointed to see Diego on the bench, I think he's been better than Konsa in recent weeks but obviously trust Emery on the selection. Glad Zani is starting, play like he did v Arsenal and that mop haired, diving clown they got down that side will be crying in his milk all game. Proper nervous for this, I'd love to see us win a cup, '96 was the last time, I was only 13 at the time, it's been far far too long.
  12. Hopefully the Lambert Under the Cosh podcast has subtitles.
  13. About 4 episodes in so far, it's fantastic. Best line so far was the one about getting sidetracked in the wasteland by bullshit. Anyone who has played the game will know how relevant that is Once I've binged it all, I'll probably load up Fallout 4 and replay it.
  14. Thought about this most the day. I've supported Villa since around 92/93 season. In that time we've had some good managers and some dross. Emery is the best I've seen. I loved the Little/Gregory era but he's taken us to another level no manager before him, in my lifetime supporting this club, has. Tactically he's superb. Not always but 95% of the time and that is enough to 1. Obtain and maintain high finishes in the League and 2. Win something, which this great club is long overdue. What a man, we are very lucky to have him.
  15. Held my tongue on here last week because I thought the comments of his performance were a joke to be honest, he became the scapegoat and it was totally uncalled for. Yesterday, he made a few of you eat a bit of humble pie. I love the bloke, he's not perfect but when he's on it, we don't have a better CB at this club.
  16. Immaculate. Gave Diego MOTM, absolute huge performance but Tielemans & Zani ran him close. Hard to pick 1 though when the whole team has, to a player, been brilliant. What a win 🩵
  17. Pleased with that on the whole but I'm very concerned about Konsa at the moment. I've alluded to it over the last couple of weeks, he's dropped off since the England game. I know he's playing 'out of position' so to speak but he's making poor decisions down that side. I'm hoping he improves but I'd rather see Cash back out there.
