He seems to be of the opinion he's coming back:

I don’t know if they [Aston Villa] will welcome me with open hearts or they will chase me away but I don’t think I will be able to stay because a lot of Tanzanians talked too much hate when I was loaned out and I now don’t know if they will be happy to see me return, or they will hate me.

Watkins runs the length of the pitch .. passes to CL and then that’s the end of that attack … should have had a shot

 

does make me wonder though , every other player out there seems content to hold the ball too long , go for glory , make wrong decisions… is the fact Jack and Ollie look to give and go and bring in other players , all down to the way Smith is coaching them ? Bodes well for Villa if so 

Course it is, 'be a good team mate'.

Shame for Ezri, he could've declared for Portugal and he'd be going to the Euros to play alongside Dias, as it is our coaches don't think he's good enough to play alongside Harry Maguire.

Brilliant noise from the fans. Kids must be loving it.

Interracial lookalikes is a thing. I once saw a white woman in London who looked just like Kim Jong Un.

I do see the resemblance @Keyblade and I will die on this hill with you. Hopefully he will be a similarly good player, but with a better injury record.

Anyone ever seen these two in a room together? Save some space for me on that hill..

Still haven't forgiven Ryan Mason for this.

How is that any different to Cash on Kane in the last game?

Monkey Island on an Amiga 500 was the first actual game I played, but my Amiga came with a load of educational 'games' I probably played first before my cousin gave me Monkey Island.

My mate was in a game of Call of Duty with Carruthers the other day, didn't have much to say about Villa apparently, although my mate's a Bradford City fan so I doubt he asked him much about Villa anyway. Crazy to think he came through in the same Next Gen team as Jack considering where they both are now.

Because when I say us I obviously refer to AVFC. Not Luiz and Konsa.

Losing mentality against Man Utd is within the walls of BMH.

Okay, fair enough, then perhaps the negative starting point of the fans is part of that 'loser mentality'.

Want me to remind me of our results against Man Utd the last 25 years?

And yes. Perennial losers. The definition of it.

I don't get what that has to do with today's team, most of which either weren't born or were in nappies when that run started, but okay. I just think it's a strange starting point to blame this team for the results of the past 25 years. Particularly when they've shown themselves to be quite resillient at other times this season.

But they weren't against Man Utd were they, so what is your point?

You called us 'perennial losers', but now you're arguing you were only referring specifically to this game? Okay

The most predictable collapse ever. We all knew it. The only thing that annoys me is what bottle jobs we come across as. There are teams in the league I'd expect to hold that lead, but we aren't one of them. It's like this loser mentality is still here. Fair enough it's tough without our best player, but I don't think the players had any belief going out that second half. We simply gave both the 2 first goals away. Perennial losers. Really hoped Deano had changed that, but not yet it seems.

We're one of the teams who've dropped the fewest points from winning positions in the league this season, in fact we were joint best before Jack's injury.

I hate playing against this **** horrible club and their bent **** referees.

How are they on 0 yellow cards?

Barkley covered more ground than any other Villa player in that half. Did I wake up in the Upside Down?

I think the map is better for sure, but the game still needs an entirely new map. We were also denied what would've been our first back to back wins last night because a team was exploiting the glitch under stadium. We then got wiped literally the next game by a team doing the same thing at train station. I don't know how many areas of the map you can currently clip into but I imagine it'll be months before they find and fix them all.

We've not been great but this is one of the most one sided refereeing performances I've seen in some time. He's give us nothing all game.

I mean our penalty was soft, but I don't actually know what Konsa has done there?

Yeah having played a few games now not a lot of note has really changed. They've put some warmer filters on the game and added some grass. Factory is an okay change and there's some small quality of life improvements like ladders up to previously innacessible roofs and ever so slightly less tall buildings, but everything else is a bit meh. Stadium especially is pretty disappointing, it used to be a decent drop now it's just a massive open space no one goes anywhere near. And of course it's pretty buggy.

The gun balance actually seems good though for the first time in a while, plenty of viable options.

So much for tonight's event being better, I sat waiting for an hour while my buddies were stuck in a server queue, and the playlist just updated and the event has been removed. None of us got to do it. GG.

“New” map comes out today. Basically just a reskin of Verdansk by the looks of it. Happy they’ve freshened it up but really think they could’ve drop an entirely new map tbh, it’s been over a year now. 

Apparently there was a new map that was leaked a while back (Ural Mountains) and their intention was to kill WZ and move over to the Cold War engine for Blackout 2 on said map, but with the unexpected success of WZ and the Modern Warfare engine they decided to scrap it and chuck together this re-skin last minute. I don't know how much of that is true but it kinda makes sense, hence the original 'nuke' event before Black Ops came out and the rushed and poorly executed integration of the CW weapons.

Fair play the latest patch notes were actually detailed, and seemed to address most of the balance issues, and even pre-empt some new ones, even if it did take an entire season. Fingers crossed they didn't finally balance the game only to make the two new weapons completely overpowered.. 

Yesterday's event however was a complete shit show, multiple server crashes, server queues, connection issues, none of me and my friends could even see eachother online even when we did finally get in, and ultimately the event itself was pretty underwhelming. Hopefully 'part 2' is a little better.
