If you want to casually play single player games then the PS5 has absolutely loads, including some PS4 games which are still great. Last of Us Last of Us 2 God of War God of War Ragnarok Spiderman Spiderman: Miles Morales Spiderman 2 Horizon Zero Dawn Horizon Forbidden West Ghost of Tsushima

I understand why Emery did it last night, and agree that we would most likely have lost the game regardless however the lack of intent to at least try and win the game was disappointing for me. Maybe it annoys me more as I travelled, if I hadn't I could have switched off and not given it much thought. I actually think the resting argument is largely nonsense, the team are off the back of an international break. They've played one game in three weeks. Torres and Bailey didn't even go away with their national teams. What's done is done though, lets hope that a fresh side with a returning McGinn and Watkins can push on the remainder of the season now.

Half arsed selection, there was no lack of effort.

Maybe not in distance

Don’t get me wrong I get why he’s rested them, annoys me taking a half day off work and travelling to Manchester to watch a half arsed team run after shadows though. Win the next two games and it’s justified, feels slightly MON/Moscow to me though.

Annoys me as with a lot of injuries we’ve then gone ahead and rested some of our most important players in Torres, Tielemans and Bailey. Maybe Emery knows best and they needed resting but it feels very much like a game thrown away to me.

Just finished Yellowstone and it was brilliant. Starting 1883 this week.

I'm looking over my shoulder now, although @a-k is within touching distance.

He’s ready he just needs a run of games without fans getting on his case, it’s just quite unfortunate that it’s come at arguably our most important point of the season. However with the options of giving Tim a go, or trying to shift the team about by moving Luiz, or gambling on Tielemans or Chambers as a DM, I’m keen to hand the reigns to Tim and let him have a go. The pros are he potentially improves given game time, and saves the clubs millions on a backup DM. The cons are he potentially isn’t good enough as a DM… which could be the case with Luiz, Tielemans or Chambers.

Solanke penalty miss, you couldn't make it up.

I have a feeling the increases will be around the 10% mark all over Villa Park - but it would be nice for the club to show some form of appreciation that there have been increases each season for a few years now and either pause for a season or increase with a small %. I will be renewing my season ticket regardless of the increase (and I accept I am probably part of the problem for that), but I'm in a fortunate enough position to be able to afford it and wouldn't want to join the back of the waiting list queue when I change my mind. I can imagine for some the price increases each year are making renewal a real difficult decision, especially those with families and childrens requiring multiple season ticket renewals. As for making the season ticket more attractive, they could pretty much do anything after last season to make improvements after stripping almost all of the benefits we were receiving. For a start just having some basic functions, bars, food and toilets available to use would be an improvement, although not exactly an attraction. The fan zones are great, but small and packed 90% of the time, I would personally move this to the Holte End car park, or have two either end of the ground with bars and food stalls. A discount in the club store used to be offered to ST holders, this would be nice to see back especially with the current costs of shirts and training wear. I echo everyones thoughts on selling tickets, I can't understand why the ground has to sell out before they can be resold - and 100% of the 1/19 should go back to the ST holder where a profit is being made. The ability to transfer a ticket to a friend or family members fan ID should be available online - with possibly a limit on the amount of times to stop people taking advantage of a reference. Give us all a free pint as well, because why not...

Has anyone got a T-Roc? Thinking of getting one as the next motor.

Fairplay, I've been in second trying to catch you for weeks now but can't get close.

Bailey has genuinely turned into one of the best wingers the club has ever had; he reminds me of Young in his peak now where everytime he gets the ball you expect him to create something. My concern is the early substitutions as it weakens us when he leaves the pitch, I don't know if he's carrying a knock or if it's a concern that we are now hugely reliant on him and need him fit. Emery could also be simply trying to play Diaby into form again, but I would rather be doing it 2 or 3 goals up. Superb player and just hope this form continues.

Genuinally think Pau Torres could make me look good if I played next to him, but Lenglet was very good yesterday regardless. He's actually been a very good loan signing for us this season, and been hugely reliable when we've needed him. As for signing him, Mings is going to be back next season to take the position back; there's probably a fair argument to say Lenglet's better than Carlos but for the cost of his wages there are better 4th choice centre backs out there.
