From kick off until that Lille player went down with a nosebleed (or whatever it was) in our area. So 30 minutes.
-
Sitting behind the bench and the story of the night has been a full on 30 minute argument between Unai and Ollie. I have no idea what it was about but Unai was going nuts. Definitely gonna be having words at half time.

PSG are being crap again. They are lucky it’s only 1-0.

Arsenal? The third most decorated club in the country?

Aye. Plenty of Villa fans were doing the whole "table since Unai took the job" thing last season, and while it's slightly different I think you can see the point being made. However I think Bournemouth are still streaky. They did get more than half their points for the entire season in that ridiculous run they had from Halloween to Christmas where they temporarily turned into Real Madrid. Only Manchester City and ourselves took points off of them.

Deserved to get beat but I think it’s one of those defeats we will take a fair few positives from. On another day the plan could have worked, fringe players did well and ultimately we were undone by a couple of clinical finishes.
-
Oh well. TBF Foden has been great tonight.
-
I think Dougie has to score there.
-
Good performance undone by self inflicted wounds. Not having Zaniolo in that wall.
-
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the position he took, as is evidenced by the fact he tucked the ball away after the Wolves lad cleared it from behind the line.
-
lack of options. McGinn suspended, Kamara ACL & JJ is made of glass.
-
Spurs always score at the death.
-
No. The second one was like that time Bruno Fernandes stamped on Ez Konsa and won a penalty.
-
It's been a sore point for years, but realistically if the new stand needed to be bigger then it had to go over the top of Trinity Road and having a red brick Victorian facade in the style of Archibald Leitch was borderline impossible.
-
The clip. Like @MaVilla I work in a safety critical environment where we are drilled on communication protocols. The VAR guys could do with bringing some outside consultation in to bring them up to speed. I still think it was a red.
-
Ive just remembered I went one other time when John Harley scored for them from about 45 yards out but that game was when they were ground sharing with QPR at Loftus Road. Basically I’m Jonah.

I’ve been twice. Last season and the one where JPA missed two penalties.

I think Fulham are currently my second favourite club. They are in line for some kind of award for services to Aston Villa given that: They got rid of Dr Tony by beating us in the playoff final. They got rid of Slippy G by hammering us at Craven Cottage last season. Gave us six points this season. Just after losing to us they go to Old Trafford and win. Just after Spurs beat us they host them at Craven Cottage and win. Up the Fulham!

@MrBlack There's no way Ollie will want to pull out of this squad. This will be the one which determines if he goes to the Euros or not, and being part of a squad that travels to an International Tournament is bucket list stuff for professional footballers.

Last night was absolutely his best performance in a Villa shirt. He looks like a guy who needs to play on the edge, I think if he chills out he might not be as the same player but he needs to find a way to channel the energy. Physically he has everything, he has the pace and power which even the most cultured defender will struggle to deal with, Ajax simply couldn't handle him. Getting him in the same team as Watkins is going to be difficult given our tactical identity and I suspect that's going to be the factor that determines Duran's long term future at the club. I do hope he can play a role during our run in.

Italy have no presence in the Champions League and Spain seem to need an all Spanish Champions League final.
-
Oh it was. It was a horrible challenge.
-
That square ball is suicidal. We’ve ridden our luck with it a few times but it’s obvious Spurs were looking to pounce on it.
-
Is the Liverpool vs Manchester City game the World Cup final or something?
