They'll be playing Thurs-Sun with a relatively small squad (somehow for all the money they spend they have little on the bench to change matches) and there's no CL prize at the end if they win it. so that would be a good thing then really.....well for the rest of us that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works better with what Max Stokes (Villa on Tour) does as he has a few seconds to compose himself before giving his reaction when filming the games so it feels more of a natural experience with a Fan going to a game and reacting to it as the action unfolds.

bobzy Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 That second penalty against Man Utd is never a pen. I just don’t understand what VAR is there for. (Fantastic result though, so who cares really? ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did they even get started? Not every game is televised so they must have started out at least watching illegal streams? And also how can you be a self anointed superfan never being able to watch your team live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal Fan TV basically. And they're just tweaked the model of giving their reaction as the game is going rather than after the match. That's a good point, does Goldbridge do this for the Sat 3pms as Man. United have had a decent number this season. I assume he does his Talksport show from his house so possible to combine the two. Edit: His actual name is Brent Di Cesare?! Sounds like someone Chelsea would sign for 80m. Edited April 4 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He takes a great pen tbf. Might be good to take for the euro's and bang him on in extra time if it comes to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Man. United just have no control whatsoever in midfield. The comms I was listening to were basically laughing at Casemiro's attempts to attempt to keep up with Chelsea's runners in the first half. His legs have totally gone and all he's good enough to do now is head away crosses so he'll be playing in Saudi Arabia next season. Mainoo looks pretty tired now which is understandable for an 18/19 year old in the league who's started 20 games in the last five months. They badly need someone like Odegaard in there who's revolutionised Arsenal's play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea are actually pretty good in attack. Their Xg is typically much higher than the number of goals they score. Their biggest problem is they have no striker to finish those chances.

punkiller1981 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 8 hours ago, Wainy316 said: Might be slightly controversial but i quiet like him, I see a lot of my own reactions to Villa in the way he is. Also very funny watching any Utd fan have a melt down after the previous 20 + years they had of success, welcome to the real world where not turning up every week expecting to win makes the wins you do get all the sweeter. It’s called being a real supporter not a plastic “I support Utd because they are the best” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) 9 hours ago, Wainy316 said: It needs his missus in the background to shout “shut up” to really make it gold tier. I love a meltdown video though. What makes it extra good is that he’s got the score as 3-3 full time clearly not expecting another goal. Lovely. Edited April 5 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
