Schmeichel is currently on Sky saying he can’t feel his thumb and he played through the match with a hand injury and he needs an x-ray. Saying he also should have had a penalty. What a tremendous words removed he is. 

He can't feel his thumb cos its so far up his own arse

A twelfth of a second apparently. An eternity

I believe it was a fraction of 1 unit of Planck time actually

He can't feel his thumb because he was sucking it too hard

Just back in record time.....Worrying first half again but unlucky not to go in ahead at the interval. Great second half again although we could have made it very easy for ourselves if we had taken all our chances. Ref a total gobshite, maddison and Smegal bot gobshites. 

Final note.....Superb supporters on both sides, players at 6 mins, very emotional but wonderful from the whole ground. Brought tears to my eyes that did. RIP little fella.

May as well just call this "Steven Gerrard.gif"

 This guy's a legend! Still makes me laugh even though I've seen it a hundred times before. (And I like the way you've even made him your avatar).

I think I said I'd make him my avatar if we went up during the 18/19 season and well, we did. Not changing it now.

Just been on the Leceister board and they can't believe how bad they are to get beaten by dross like us. Not only are we shite, we cheat and dive all the time too.

Pretty funny to see these entitled pricks thinking they're still good enough to compete at the top end, despite selling one of their best players every season. Delusional.

I quite like Rogers as a manager but Leicester did look really poor. Not quite sure how it's all gone so wrong there.

First half shows we still have work to do.

2nd half shows we are capable when at our best.

We still need a couple of higher pedigree players, but it will be difficult to know who gets benched/moved on.

Possibly more out of sentiment if I'm honest.

Sorry if someone else mentioned this but Vardy nonexistent when he came on. I don’t remember him even getting a sniff.

[Five Ken McNaughts]

So, as Sky Sports finally got round to admitting (still quicker than Paul Tierney in the VAR shed can read the law book):

”The goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball by touching it with any part of his hands or arms...

EXCEPT IF THE BALL REBOUNDS ACCIDENTALLY FROM HIM, FOR EXAMPLE AFTER HE HAS MADE A SAVE.”

Just as we saw at Man City away last season, Villa were victims of Premier League officials literally not knowing the laws of the game.

Thank God we won anyway.

A great 2nd half display, which should have had us scoring 2 or 3 goals.

Watkins Ramsey and emi all guilty of holding onto the ball far too long a few times and getting over ran when a simple pass was on.

But apart from that, we were superb.

21 more points and then anything else is a bonus. Said at the start of season 10th to 8th would be a steady and realistic improvement and hopefully we continue to out fight and out work our opponents.

This is a joke right? He was absolutely dreadful. Must've given away possession more times than the rest of the team combined. Sure he grafted a lot, but mostly got beat, and went down far too easy. This really was a poor game from him, and it wasn't the first. Pub player, sadly. 

Terrible take, from both posts to be fair, he is somewhere in between and careers shouldn’t be decided after 15 games. He tries stuff other players don’t think about unfortunately if these don’t come off it give the opposition possession.

[The_Steve]

McGinn did nothing wrong

Rough first half for him. You have to say that first goal might have been his though Konsa’s cleat tickle kept it inside the post. He got better as the game went on and had some nice touches and that hooked back heel when we were pinned in was lovely. The turnover in the first half was a couple players and not just him.

Just wanted to flag up this post from @M_Afro in the pre match post. Have to copy it as can’t quote from a different locked thread. It inspired me to have a very rare bet. Went for 2-1 with Watkins and Buendia any time goal scorers. On another day what could have been! Couldn’t be happier to have lost my money! Hope you won a couple of quid mate. UTV! 
 

 

It’s my son’s seventh birthday on Sunday. He was born in Leicester on a weekend where we actually played Leicester at Villa Park. We went one down and all the nurses were giving me stick because I had bought my son a villa baby grow and they were all Leicester supporters. We can back to win 2-1!  
That’s gotta be a good Omen. Get your money on 2-1 Villans. UTV

I remember that game very well. Think it was Ulloa who scored early, Clark equalised from a free kick then Hutton scored.

I give it to Martinez,that save when the ball was behind him was something else.

Aaron ransdale makes that save and Talksport and Sky Sports simultaneously combust into an enormous ocean of jizz
