Absolutely hate being a Villa fan..... averagely, most of the time.

JJ isn’t even looking at the ball or running into the box to try and play the ball, anyone trying to argue otherwise needs to watch it again. It’s a foul 

I agree but there were still lots of issues with the refereeing today.

3 defeats on the spin now. 

It’s all about performance though. We were excellent tonight. If we keep playing like that we will do really well. Some of our one touch football was stunning. It’s really starting to come I think. We will win on Saturday

No.

Just saying 3 defeats on the spin. And Man U up next.

I'm sure you're happy though.

I’m happy with the performance yes. I try to enjoy supporting my team unlike some people that love to just moan about everything because they have some personal vendetta against the manager

What about if it was United's goal, would their have been a 4 min VAR check to rule it out?

That's not what I said.

I'm not saying there's no corruption, just that in THIS INCIDENT the rules were correctly applied.  

Plenty of incidents where they were not.

How exactly? JJ did nothing - the onus should be on Cavani. Ridiculous.

Cavani was never getting to the ball anyway. Gonna start giving random fouls off the ball in around the penalty box are they. Happens all the time off a corner.

[The_Steve]

If anything, JJ is trying to get out of Cavani's way and he clatters him. But gotta give United their favours.

[El Segundo]

Much of the talk on here before the game was about which minute United would get their very ropey penalty and who would take it. This cynicism is not without foundation (when was the last time they weren’t given a pen against Villa either home or away?)   

But three minutes and thirty six seconds to spot something that is supposed to be "clear and obvious"? The kind of thing that happens 3 or 4 time at every corner and free kick around the box, and is NEVER penalised.  And now they are citing some kind of obscure offside law.  They were obviously desperate to find something, anything, to justify disallowing the goal and were determined to take as long as it needed. To rule out very possibility however remote.  They're not even trying to hide the bias now are they? F****g joke.

[Hank Scorpio]

Corruption at it's finest.

Not even trying to hide it anymore are they.

[Farlz]

We absolutely won't beat United on the weekend 

I'm sick to death of them, just get it out the way and don't have to think about them for another season.

We should have been well up for it tonight. I've been generally impressed with Gerrard overall but I didn't think that was a great managerial performance at all. 

67% possession multiple chances at goal and a disallowed goal which shouldn’t have been chalked off.

I LOVE it. We are going in the right direction. Some great signings. Our defenders need upgrading but it is looking rosy in the Villa garden

[tonyh29]

I don’t know where the BBC get the VAR images from but it’s quite clear from this screen grab and the subsequent commentary that they were checking for an offside … they didn’t find one so the goal should have stood

He really doesn't for me - he's moving his body naturally anticipating the cross. Cavani should be the one avoiding him. It's not a foul, 50/50 at best. It doesn't change the pattern of play at all. It's an arbitrary decision to favour United.

The ref is looking straight at it, never a foul, nearly ever goal that is scored from a corner wouldn’t stand, players runs get blocked all the time. 

[CLARETANDBLUEFOXY]

Best signing of the January transfer window was the money Man United paid for VAR. What a signing! What an investment. Won them the game tonight, Man of the Match.

I have an Arsenal fan in my ear right now saying we were robbed.

Who gives a shit? It was a foul and correctly disallowed. If you dont think so, you're blinkered or you dont know the rules of the game.

We dominated most of the game and didnt score, that's why we lost. It's our own fault.

Deluded and clearly don't know how to read the rules of the game then.  If that happens at the other end guarantee you'd be shouting for it to be disallowed.

I could say the same about you if you think that should be ruled out by the rules of the game.

[The Fun Factory]

Turning into a bit of a nothing season. No cup runs and  probably a mid table finish. If you want to be positive its another year of consolidation.

We need to push on next season or the project will be stalling.
