So so simplistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted August 13, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) Yet another thing to be be positive about ... We're not financially broken, and we seemingly have reasonable owners with big ambitions but also a long-view perspective --- and, we're not tied to an ethically repulsive state that crushes and murders dissenters. Nassef Sawiris is a very clever man, too, it has to be said. So many clubs wish they had our owners. They will be able to see clearly as we work through this situation, and not be influenced by stupidity or ego.

UpTheVilla26 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 There is a lot to be positive about this club right now, the list is huge. Saying that, the last 5 days has left me feeling a bit numb. Buendia & Mings suffering terrible injuries, then that result, it just feels like we have no luck at all and we always take a step forward then 2 or 3 back. Hopefully we go out and roast Everton this weekend and it'll shake off this feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The is one of the best ever Fergie wrote a letter of recomendation for McLeish to Lerner. Think his marbles are going a little. Nah in all seriousness Newcastle tore us a new one but inbetween that we were not awful at all. 16 shots and 47% possession says we werent awful in the game. Just awful in moments . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Whilst I’m happy to say that Fergie’s brain cells have been destroyed by red wine, I do think he has a point. We weren’t terrible all over, and had Watkins, Diaby or Cash finished their chances it could have been different. The Mings injury threw us out big time, then it was a catalogue of errors at the back and not taking our chances that let the game fall away. There were some good moments for Villa, and there’s still more than enough credit in Emery’s bank to be confident he will find a solution and get us purring again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted August 15, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 15, 2023 Off topic and I dare say being frequently victorious over us didn’t exactly hurt, but I’ve had a lingering suspicion that Ferguson has a bit of a soft spot for us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 5 hours ago, Keyblade said: He’s not wrong though. We fell apart in the second half but conceding crucial goals, Ty’s injury and missing key chances compounded a horrible day. I thought we were competitive otherwise despite the poor start in conceding so early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catanzaro Posted August 15, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 15, 2023 I said this earlier in this thread, but i am convinced we would have beaten either Liverpool or Chelsea if we had them first game, after watching their match.. We are definitely in the same conversation as the other teams vying for a top 6 finish.. I do not believe we have been fooled and actually we'd be lucky to get 10th based on the Newcastle result.

(I don't think that we played them off the park like he said, though.) It kind of makes you wonder if Villa were his English team when he was young. I know that Villa had a lot of Scottish connections in the early years. Did we have support north of the border because of it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) I think we'd have beaten United if we'd had them opening day too. They looked terrible and got saved by the ropiest of VAR calls. I've no doubt we'll see worse calls this season but they've set the bar fairly high with that one. A positive to come from it is that all the United supporting refs involved are dropped from duties this weekend. Spoiler I won't mention that their replacements suffer the same affliction so it makes feck all difference as that doesn't belong here.
