With FFP the way it is I don't think there will be mass spending in the summer by any club. We have 3 players out for a long period

of time with ACL injuries. With them back next season it will be just like 3 huge new transfers in. ALL of them will be massive for 

us and will help to bridge the gap between us and the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal. Next season could be an even better one for us

Another way of looking at this is we are fourth in the table and through to the last eight of a European competition and having our best season for over 20 years. And we are only just at the start of this journey!

It’s exhilarating, man, and it’s only football at the end of the day. Why not just relax and enjoy the ride? However this ends it has been a great season. 

Spot on It's been a fantastic season. Sometimes I just despair of certain posters on this forum. We haven't thrown anything away and we are close to winning our first trophy in eons.

1-1 now Foden

They can’t give that off. If they did it’s the kind of shit i hate VAR for tbh.

They did in the Carobau cup final last week

If Unai has seen something in him which he likes and can mould into the way we play then that's good enough for me

Are our goals against not a bit skewed by the opening day - when our most experienced defender went of writhing in pain and we had to throw in our new signing? And we were still adjusting when we went to Anfield?

Where we also lost a centre half early on

Anything below 5th now would be an almighty collapse imo. I can't imagine we're going to bottle it quite that much. 

Still no reason why we can't finish top 4, away games are rubbish but as long as we remain untouchable at home we'll be fine. 

Spurs are a good side and with no Europe plus Maddison and whatnot coming back from injuries soon they'll probably only get better but the idea from Sky yesterday that they're a certain for top 4 is a bit mad. 

You do realise we are not welcome in the SKY top 4

I don't know, have you seen him play in the last 2 years to think it's sensible?

I know hw doesn't play much at City but he is always in the England set up and is a very good player. Him and Kamara

would form a very strong midfield base and therefore allow Luiz to pla in his best position. We don't really have that

option at present. Wouldn't be the worst option for sure

Who really knows when it comes to us but… if we see a player leave, then we can really start getting excited about someone arriving.. seems like we have to do this kind of thing, make room in terms of squad space and wages but bring in better and not like-for-like… or don’t bother, stick with what we have and improve them if we can’t…

Surely Kalvin Phillips on loan would be a sensible move

Probably not with prem sides no. The Maidstone result was an upset though

Yes, Stevenage not quite so happy this year!!!

On Sky Sorts post match chat about the title contenders we were not mentioned once!!!

Blocked him and my life already feels better

Charlie played in the 1st game I went to in February 1966 against Blackburn (a 3-1 win). I also remember him scoring the winner in a 1-0 win at Tranmere

on a cold Friday night in thr 3rd Division. He was also the Host when I took my Dad to his last game in the corner box in the North stand. That was John

Carews debut. Carew scored in a 1-0 win. Charlie had a great way of leaning into his winger as they ran making it almost impossible to get round him. I shall 

miss him greatly RIP Charlie HEITS

Why do you or any other Villa fans care?

I don't. It is just a fact. Quite amusing really

Yet again the report on our game is way down the BBC sports page in my mobile, even below the Sheff Urd game. It's got to be on purpose

It always is. It is not appreciated by the BBC or SKY or Talkshite that we just might be a serious threat to their beloved " Traditional Top 6"

After the break

Man City v Liverpool

Brentford v Arsenal

Spurs v Villa

Hmmn
