Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Burnley

[sidcow]

I feel like Joe

I mean this in the worst possible way. 

There are some appalling takes on here from a few posters, Arsenal fan levels of entitlement. 

We're joint top. Joint top. Stop making out that we are now entitled to win every game playing 2009 Barca levels of football.

After a point against Sheffield and losing against Man U in the way they did it was essential Villa got the three points!

Obvious to everyone though that Villa are running on fumes and need reinforcements when the window opens to take advantage of the fab start.

I think there was an awful lot of white snow on the Upper Holte today. Bell end central.

Could be referring to the Match thread. Take your pick there.

Talk on the match thread of fragile player mentality. 

We really need to work on fan mentality.

First bit of bad form in a year, sitting joint top of the table.

Fans are fragile as f***.

Such a brilliant post.

'3 more, 3 more...Unbeaten, unbeaten, 2023'  I think

I reckon "Primo ... I'm beating, I'm beating 2023"

Primo means cousin in Spanish, term of endearment

As far as I’m concerned we don’t have the depth to fight on three fronts. FA Cup will blatantly get the ginger stepchild treatment unless we get to the later rounds.

You mean the arrogance treatment. It's a cup we haven't won since 57, it may well have lost some of it's romance, but there's still a few of us, me included, who would like nothing better than seeing SJM lifting that trophy on a sunny May afternoon.

Got to take them though because we will get one against us soon.

Touche, Brother, touche.

I'd rather win the FA Cup than play Champions League football.

That's the truth of it. Anyone who disagrees is welcome to their view but that's another trophy in our cabinet, versus the slog of having to play world class teams around Europe with a squad that probably needs 1-2 seasons to continue to build.

So what are you willing to trade for the FA Cup ? because to win it would hugely damage us in the league and the Europa

Not only presumptuous, but a seer too. I submit to your worldly wisdom.

Better that than a deluded fantasist. Emery has spoken often that his dream is to win the champions league. Can’t win it if you’re not in it.

Building the squad would become a whole lot easier if you’re in the CL though.
