Weird parallels with our game last night. Early own goal, equaliser disallowed for offside, 2-0 on the break. Hoping Arsenal don't crumble like we did!
-
That is the only possible mitigation - that the shootout booking somehow exists in isolation
-
Emi was definitely booked in the first leg. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68783693

I know right? It felt to me like every single player had been booked (at least once) by the end of that game!
-
Exactly. In the same way that McGinn, Diaby, Dougie, Tielemans, and Cash would have been suspended for the semi had they been booked - as they were carrying two bookings into the game. It just happens that Emi got his second and third bookings in the same game!!

What a great watch that is. Lee Hendrie is all of us in that moment.

Dang. Then it's true - No Emi for the first leg.
-
It is true, unfortunately. At least until they appeal the stupid shootout booking.

How about this beauty from 1992 - purchased in the Villa store ahead of the 3-1 win over Man City (my first trip to Villa Park).

The use of 'was found' is what seems to imply it was lifted from Shutterstock for use in our crest. It may be careless or something more, but I do think it reads that way. 'has been found' would have been more helpful, suggesting it has since been found on Shutterstock, after the fact.

Off topic but who is it takes hold of the first pass and turns in midfield? Is it KEA? Really runs the first half of that move. Surprising to see Delph so far forward in the move but looking on it again, he makes a run about 7 passes too early and decides to stay forward. Interestingly, shows how it might be if we had a support striker alongside Benteke. Been mentioned a bit lately here that Benteke has been playing quite deep - watch when KEA receives the first pass and turns, see Weimann and Gabby sprint forward while Benteke comes short.

Thank god - thought it was just me. At one point his missus, aka Daft Bird (on back of shirt) gave him a bear hug and bit his ear for about 10 seconds. Proper love/hate those two. Had a great view of Westwood's goal. Very clever thinking but, in fairness, keeper's position was poor. Guy next to me even said it just before Westwood struck. Same view for Wycombe's first and I honestly don't think there was much Guzan could have done about it. Very low key performance all-round. I thought Bacuna looked solid and Luna comfortable. Shame not to see Helenius, Okore or Tonev. Not sure what Lambert will have taken from the game - like he says, though, it's pretty much about fitness at the moment.

Thanks both. I'm on Oyster prepay so will just get the return from Marylebone (ahem), making my own way from Epsom via Waterloo. Will be dizzy and in need of a drink when I get there. Might head for the marquee at the ground - unless there are other suggestions?
