    Massive win yesterday. I was sat behind the goal in the Fulham end right by the the Villa fans who were outstanding all match. Torres was superb, Watkins brilliant, but a good, gritty team performance all round.

    Have the bedwetters retreated today?

    First time I've seen him in the flesh yesterday. Outstanding.

    Having torn my ACL myself, the way he was walking off and down the tunnel suggests it may not have been a full rupture. Hopefully limited meniscus / cartilage damage too. That's the only reason I can see for briefing out a 5 month time line but I would be amazed if it's that soon. Hopefully we see him again in 2024. An absolute shitter and a real blow to the season given how important he is to how we play. I think Unai needs to come up with a new style as we don't have anyone else who is press-resistant in that role.
  5. Condimentalist
    That would be a real sickener and IMO would mean we'd have to change our style. Let's hope it's not true.
  6. Condimentalist
    Excellent! He's been brilliant this year.
  7. Condimentalist
    I think he'll be better next season. We've already seen he's got it, he was excellent early doors. Unai also makes players better in the end. Could do with a decent contribution from him still this year though, perhaps especially in the Conference if he's not starting in the league.

    I'll go 7 but could be 9. We played well today and usually respond to defeats. Pau back next week hopefully. Big game next week. If we don't win we're drifting, if we do we can go on a mini run and set ourselves beautifully for the Spurs game, which hopefully Konsa will be back for also.

    I'm not a huge fan but he was fine today. Made a good block early on. Not the reason we lost.
  10. Condimentalist
    To give him his dues, he had a good game
  11. Condimentalist
    I feel more confident that he'll come good than I did Bailey. He's just shot of confidence.
  12. Condimentalist
    Fast start and an early goal would be good. Konsa is a huge miss so I hope Pau is back. Let's do this guys, massive game, could do with getting another home run going.

    I do think that 'the big 6' is an outdated concept and I think that Newcastle and hopefully ourselves will demonstrate that over the years ahead. But if nothing else, in terms of revenue, they are currently much bigger. These things can change though. It used to be 'the big 4'. Perhaps in a few years 'the big 8'. We'll see.

    And probably the pundits said no? That said, I do think there is arguably a bit of a pro Spurs bias more than anti Villa. Because they've had more success in recent years, but there are also undoubtedly a lot of Spurs fans in media roles. In the end, it's hard for a team that hasn't been challenging regularly to be seen as a contender. That underdog status isn't necessarily unhelpful for us though.
  15. Condimentalist
    Likely to be higher this year because there are so many poor teams.
  16. Condimentalist
    This 'media agenda' stuff amazes me. It's an amazing story for the media if Villa win the league. They would love it. Pundits aren't saying it because it's highly unlikely (as you admit yourself) not because of an agenda.
  17. Condimentalist
    It looked painful to me but not serious. Would be surprised if he misses more than Chelsea. Fingers crossed anyway.
  18. Condimentalist
    Difference being that we'd signed those two on big money - but they also both showed more than Zaniolo has (albeit with more gametime). I actually quite like Zaniolo but I'm not sure he's demonstrated he's worth the fee and suspect Rogers will be his long term replacement.
  19. Condimentalist
    Hope we go for the kill here. GD could be vital at seasons end.
  20. Condimentalist
    Good line up
  21. Condimentalist
    Some of the posts in this thread

    We're definitely in a bit of a slump but have some very decent fixtures ahead, a new signing for the first team, and hopefully some key players coming back soon. We're also still competing on three fronts. I know Villa fans love to be despondent but the overall picture is exceptionally rosy.
  23. Condimentalist
    Cult hero. Love him. All the best Bertie.
  24. Condimentalist
    Suspect he'll be Moreno's understudy and we'll cash in Digne in the summer.
  25. Condimentalist
    I like Buendia but can't disagree that he's not repaid the fee. Still, he's young and has definite quality. Hope he comes back stronger, was on fire in pre season.
