    Looking at that lineup, I think this could be a real disappointment tonight. Lenglet is a decent player, no major worries about him, but Pau has been so central to our build up play during the recent run. And Donk just isn’t good enough on the ball for a game like this, will do a good job breaking things up, but he’s another Nakamba.

    Burnley very enjoyable to watch these days

    Need Eddie Howe to survive with a good result soon though. Taking points off City or Liverpool would be great. Most likely he's getting sacked soon and a world class manager is coming in on silly money.

    Think Onana is one of those keepers who can be unpredictably absolute wank or world class, and the latter definitely wouldn't be "first time" unfortunately.
  5. KentVillan
    Be disappointed if we don't win this one. Emery does well usually against teams that feel they need to take the game to us. Having said that, could see an Onana masterclass causing us a lot of pain.

    These are really just regional accents, in the same way that most British English speakers (of all classes) don't pronounce the "R" in the middle of a word (non-rhotic accents), which can be very confusing for most Americans and anyone who has learnt a rhotic English accent. We don't accuse British English speakers of not enunciating because they pronounce "water" as wah-tuh. The L thing is called L vocalisation, and is a feature of Polish too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-vocalization It's a feature of Cockney accents. We need to be more sympathetic to the way people speak, because literally everyone has their own unique accent that would sound confusing to somebody somewhere. The main thing is are they talking sense, is what they're saying interesting and intelligent.

    My girlfriend comes from one of those families where the whole family has input on everything... loads of nosy **** with too many opinions. My family isn't like that at all. I'm close to them, but we leave each other alone when it comes to jobs, relationships, life decisions, whatever. Give advice when it's asked for, be supportive, but stay out of each other's business. Wondering how other people have dealt with this situation? It's a nightmare at Christmas.

    Agree, was a poor shot by Watkins, the layoff was fine
  9. KentVillan
    Thought he was fine. Not a starter but excellent squad player if he’s happy with that.

    There will be an enormous amount of bed shitting now on here, but I think we’ve always struggled more in these sorts of games than we do against teams that try to play a bit of football in our half. We are missing some creative talent in the final third to break down a parked bus. Our attacking players are all a bit samey - quick, athletic, direct. Think we need a more technical option in there. VAR was a bit frustrating, I thought the Ramsey thing was six of one, half a dozen of the other, and they should have just gone with the ref’s decision. Mostly though, our plan didn’t work. We clearly had a lot of planned moves involving a central hall over the top, but Foderingham anticipated all of them. I don’t know if that was bad execution or a flawed plan, or Shef Utd working it out beforehand. Whatever, it didn’t work. Frustrating evening.

    Being poor isn’t the same as being complacent. It’s not the attitude that’s the problem.
  12. KentVillan
    You are, I don’t see any sign of complacency, we’ve just struggled to break them down and we have several key players out. You’re writing clapped out melodramatic dog shit

    I think it's great if more people are supporting Villa. The only hesitation I have is those performatively tribal, AFTV / Twitter troll type fans, who seem to be drawn to the most successful clubs. But kids seeing Villa and deciding they want to support Villa, and being inspired by our players... why not?
  14. KentVillan
    Impossible for most straight men? Isn't the question how much crazy you can handle without ending up a complete wreck? I'd say being falsely accused of domestic violence to the point that other people are kicking the shit out of you falls somewhere outside the sweet spot, but others may differ.
  15. KentVillan
    Agreed, I think he would be the hardest player to replace, which is why our rivals would be keen to buy him. He's kind of our Xavi now. He's so integrated into the way we play, has a good understanding with everyone around him. It would be ripping the heart out of the team. Losing Martinez would be enormous, but we'd probably get silly money for him. Losing Watkins would be a shame, too. But I wouldn't be as worried as if we lost Dougie, as I think his ceiling is potentially being seen as the best centre mid in the world in 2 or 3 years.

    Poetic for this to happen literally a day after they all gave it the big un, thank you Leicester, that was very very funny
  17. KentVillan
    Yeah it’s one thing not judging someone morally for taking drugs, it’s another thing trying to have a relationship with someone who is clearly using drugs in response to major mental health issues and traumas that are way beyond your capacity to handle. Stick with the counselling and look after yourself. You can’t fix her. She might fix herself one day, but it’s not your responsibility unfortunately, and not the foundations of a healthy relationship. Sorry.

    Unai Emery

    KentVillan replied to PeterSw's topic in Villa Talk

    Going to be tough in 15 years when a succession of promising young managers fail to replicate the Emery years

    In fairness to Brentford, there’s a load of their fans who recognise this is all a storm in a teacup. All clubs have silly, thick fans who give them a bad name. I prefer Brentford to plenty of other teams in this league.
  20. KentVillan
    "I'd do it a thousand times" Love him.
  21. KentVillan
    Watkins will be distraught about ruining his legacy at Brentford.
  22. KentVillan
    hahaha
  23. KentVillan
    V fair point re the late flags
  24. KentVillan
    We were 1-0 down and getting caught on the break regularly, and although we dominated possession, we weren’t creating clear chances. Of course the red card was deserved, but we needed that stupidity from Mee to change the momentum of the game. A well earned win on the road in the end, but wasn’t a vintage performance by any means.
  25. KentVillan
    Mess of a game, got lucky there, glad to get that out of the way
