Blimey no Matty Cash at all. Good to see JJ back in
-
Win please.
-
Leeds: Meslier, Ayling, Koch, Struijk, Cooper, Roca, Adams, Aaronson, Harrison, Rodrigo, Gnonto.
Subs: Robles, Firpo, Bamford, Llorente, Perkins, Kristensen, Gelhardt, Wober, Greenwood.
-
Bailey again???
-
Watkins leading the line?
-
Who da fuq is Gnonto ?
-
Blimey no Matty Cash at all. Good to see JJ back in
Well, he did go off injured in the last game, so I’m not sure it’s at all sinister.
-
Blimey no Matty Cash at all. Good to see JJ back in
Emery said yesterday he was a big doubt due to injury.
-
Bailey looks like he will be on the left which i feel suits him way more.
-
Cash is carrying a knock.
I think Bailey is fortunate to be in, here's to him shoving my words down my throat tonight.

"John McGinn is out injured, while Matty Cash isn't fit enough to play"
Isn't that the sae thing? Or a I missing something?!

Cash is carrying a knock.

What a vision that is

I didn't mean it to sound sinister. I just didn't think he was so injured to be out completely.
-
I’d prefer it to be 4-3-3 than 4-4-2. 1988 called, it wants its formation back.

Why use 8 words when you can use 13!
-

1995 called and said it is glad we found a formation that could beat Man utd at Villa Park
-
Bailey looks like he will be on the left which i feel suits him way more.
What makes you say that? Would be pleased if true. He’s struggling on the right. Hopefully he has a shred of confidence left. He’s an emotional chap.
-
Our bench looks weak enough..I wouldn't be surprised if at least three of them left within the next couple of weeks. Cash, Carlos, McGinn, Dendoncker out
-
Dendoncker can't be sold. He can't be at 3 clubs in a season.
-
Bailey looks like he will be on the left which i feel suits him way more.
If we're going 442 I expect him on the right and to drift in as Watkins prefers the left so he can cut in and shoot. Ings must be shit in training or maybe the plan is to tire Leeds out and hit them in the last 20 minutes. Another home draw looks likely unless our midfield bring their shooting boots.
-
Bailey, Watkins? I’ll be watching through my fingers again.

Ooh I had Edgar Allen Poe shivers it was so sinister!!
-
Dendoncker can't be sold. He can't be at 3 clubs in a season.
I was more on about Sanson, Nakamba and Bednarek on way out...maybe Coutinho too. The Donk is suspended

If the journalist was paid by the word, he's blagged an extra five there.

Is Dedoncker the sound a car makes running over something?
-
Who da fuq is Gnonto ?
The Gnone Rangers horse.
-
Please don't spoil our weekend Villa!

I am occasionally paid by the word, and I do just that.

Matron!
-
Dion Dublin has just said that Ings and Watkins don’t work playing together because “they’re too similar”. Does he actually get paid for insights like that?
-
Dion Dublin’s talking a lot of twoddle on Sky. He reckons that the Watkins Ings partnership should work. But the reason it isn’t is because they are too similar. I don’t think he watches football.
-
Emery has a plan for this match and how to deal with how Leeds are planning to play. Now it's down to the players!
There's only one winner if it came down to the coaches.
El Maestro!
Up The Villa.

Thread title ...
DIRTY LEEDS, perlease!

I've said it a few times recently but I find him annoying as fuck as a commentator (and as a property expert as well), he talks in the same sort of cliches that Bruce, etc do.
-
Rivalry present.
Hope Mings shames those Leeds fans with a performance.
-
Wasn't expecting to see Bailey again, I would have thought this is his last chance to show, what he can do. Good to see JJ back.
-
I love you Leon!
-
Great interview with SJM
-
Wasn't expecting to see Bailey again, I would have thought this is his last chance to show, what he can do. Good to see JJ back.
Last Chance?
No chance! He's a key player!
Lets Go Leon!
-
Please Leon turn up tonight. A little bit of me dies inside with every poor game. Bless him.
-
Let's go Leon let's go *clap clap*
Let's go Leon let's go *clap clap*
Let's go Leon let's go *clap clap*
-

Last Chance?

Key player? Really??
Not on the evidence so far.
-
Mings to score a hat-trick, keep a clean sheet, and clatter Bamford. And smile smugly at the Leeds fans at the final whistle.
-
Bailey scores
-
Fucking hell Bailey.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Baileyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
-
Bailsyyyyuuuuuuuuuyyyyy
-
Fucking hell Bailey.
Yep it was a great goal :P
-
He fucking needed that
-
I love you Leon!
Mystic Shin strikes again
-
LETS GO LEON!!!!
-
Wasn't expecting to see Bailey again, I would have thought this is his last chance to show, what he can do. Good to see JJ back.
I always had faith in you Leon, great goal.
-
Beautiful assist from Kamara….Get in Leon!
-
That’s the way Leon, brilliant from Ash and Kamara in the lead up but that’s some finish.
-
Get the fuck in! Nice finish Bailey!
-
I am so chuffed for him. Great goal Leon. Now don’t let your head drop. Amazing.
-
Kamara was class there. And Bailey
-
Never doubted him 😘
-
Bailey again???
Wtf do I know?
-
brilliant by Kamara and Bailey
-
Great start.
-
The ball from ash to kamara
-
exceptional play from Kamara in the build-up, and a really good ball for him from young (I think).
-
Bailey to get a hat trick tonight.
-
Beautiful assist from Kamara….Get in Leon!
Amazing move but Kamara..OMG!
-
Digne doing his best to make sure Morena starts the next game there.
-
I’ve finally sussed out how to use my on the go tv app but it’s a couple of minutes behind here.
-
Let's go Leon let's go *clap clap*
Let's go Leon let's go *clap clap*
Let's go Leon let's go *clap clap*
-
The ball from ash to kamara
Brilliant from start to finish.
-
Very nasty knock to the face for Digne there, no foul but clumsy as fuck.
-
Bailey is one of the best!
-
Great goal - Great ball from Young, great to see players racing forward, great by kamara to control and drive forward - good by digne to push forward and give them something to think about
Great composer and finish from bailey.
-
Yeah that’s a nasty blow.
-
That was great football brain from Kamara. Obvious pass was Digne on left but he saw that Bailey was in a better scoring position with the right pass
-
Kamara is our best player already for me. He is absolute class.
-
Bailey can do it when he doesn't have time to think.
-
Very nasty knock to the face for Digne there, no foul but clumsy as fuck.
To me thats a red card for dangerous play.
-
Who is the long haired member of the staff with PC on his tracksuit?
-
Is Digne ready for Celebrity Deathwatch?
-
So that's our new tactic, attack the Holte End first half, it's working so far.
-
Couldn't write the script! Digne off Moreno on!
And 1-0 up
We could hit 5 tonight!
-
Looks a nasty one for our Lucas. Fucking Leeds. Even when they're not trying to be dirty animals, they cause injuries.
-
Hope Digne is ok. Early debut for Alex then.
-
That looks nasty. Arm injury too? Anyway, new boy...
-
Who is the long haired member of the staff with PC on his tracksuit?
Is that Paco?
-
Moreno looks beautiful! Its his eyes.
-
Was that a Nazi salute from Digne? Fucking hell!
-
Who is the long haired member of the staff with PC on his tracksuit?
Is that Paco?
Nonsensical.
Paco is no hair at all!
-
Very nasty knock to the face for Digne there, no foul but clumsy as fuck.
To me thats a red card for dangerous play.
Nah, he's not done anything other than run near him, just a clumsy accident. Can't be allowed to play on though, even given he jarred his shoulder landing there's surely a concussion risk to be assessed.
-
Is Digne ready for Celebrity Deathwatch?
His Villa career probably is.
-
Who is the long haired member of the staff with PC on his tracksuit?
Philippe Coutinho wearing a wig

Looked a sly one to me.
-
Kamara absolutely perfect assist. Could it be that he becomes our playmaker and Guendouzi does the dirty work?
-
Leeds look vulnerable through the middle
-
Who is the long haired member of the staff with PC on his tracksuit?
Philippe Coutinho wearing a wig
Phil Collins?
-
I fucking love Kamara. Never looks pressured.
-
I'm sitting here watching tv and looking at my season ticket. Could not go because I had to stay at home for a video conference with a client in USA.It was organised at the last minute. The bastard has just cancelled!
-
I fucking love Kamara. Never looks pressured.
He's one of the few who will still be playing for us when we're in the Champions League.
-
Kamara absolutely perfect assist. Could it be that he becomes our playmaker and Guendouzi does the dirty work?
In a perfect world I'd like us to have a group of centre mids who can all do a job in front of the defence and supporting the attack, if they can play wide on 1 side as well then even better. Kamara is pretty much there and I think Luiz, Ramsey and Tim can all be that sort of player as well. Add someone like Guendouzi as well and we'll have fantastic options in there.
-
Stop waving your arms around Ayling you dirty fouling twat
-
I fucking love Kamara. Never looks pressured.
He's one of the few who will still be playing for us when we're in the Champions League.
Bedwetter. ‘Winning’ the Champions League! 😉
-
Fucking hell Villa, get a fucking grip
-
I reckon we should go long more often against this lot as they like to press so much
-
Might be in front, but I think we've been dreadful far. Too much pissing about in possession
-
Very good defending from Luiz there.
-
Tricky start for Moreno so far. Still, proper handsome bastard.
-
Is Buendia playing?
-
That Gnongnognoto looks quite handy.
-
Tricky start for Moreno so far. Still, proper handsome bastard.
Was always going to be, no one wants to come on after 9minutes, even more so for their debut.
-
Sluggish start. We need to stop passing backwards.
-
Tricky start for Moreno so far. Still, proper handsome bastard.
I haven't seen him properly, but I imagine he looks like Adrian Chiles.
-
Is Buendia playing?
Such a lightweight player.
-
Is Buendia playing?
Does he ever?
-
Got that 1-0 up against Stevenage feeling again.
-
Is Buendia playing?
Does he ever?
Disappointing so far
-
Never a penalty. Fuck off var.
-
Need more from.buendia, not in the game
-
STOP. FUCKING. ABOUT. WITH. IT.
-
I’d forgotten how dirty this bunch of bastards are
-
Buendia is a complete passenger in this half.
-
Really don't like our formation. Neither of our de facto wide men have had any impact so far. Switch it to 4231 with Ramsey ahead of Moreno.
-
For fuck sake. We are at sixes and sevens again. GET A FUCKING GRIP!!
-
Our wide players totally missing. Leaving fullbacks exposed. Especially down our left side.
-
Buendia is a complete passenger in this half.
Didn’t realise he was playing.
-
Being ahead - very nice, but we're looking very ragged here.
-
Difficult to watch this
-
Are they filming Emery's bespoke in-match personalised coaching?
-
Dirty feckin Leeds.
-
Sigh Leon
-
Come on Watkins
Chance there
-
The best and worst of Bailey. Absolute gash.
-
We need to get a grip. So they’re thundering into the press, clip it over them.
-
Wank ball Bailey!
-
stop fuking about at the back
-
think that was more watkins there not commiting for it
-
Have these fuckers forgotten how shit they were last week? Sort it out!
-
Watkins knew he was offside.
-
think that was more watkins there not commiting for it
Disagree. Wank ball. No chance for Watkins.
-
stop fuking about at the back
Given how high they press the fucking about at the back is a key part of our game plan I reckon.
-
Nice run from Moreno then, hint of what’s to come.
-
Could be Watkins done for the game
-
Stop complaining, my lord. Up 1-0, actually trying to play football at home, clearly the better side.
We are obviously baiting them to press forward to create space in behind.
-
I wish we had a load of players who are significantly better than the players we currently have.
-
Optimism, and rational! You're on the wrong board 🤣
-
I love Emery’s coat.
-
So that's our new tactic, attack the Holte End first half, it's working so far.
New? Brentford, Man Utd.
-
Could everybody stop getting injured?
-
I love Emery’s coat.
I am ambivalent on it.
The coat itself is ambivalent - finished, not finished.
-
Who’s our lady on water bottle duty?
-
Cynical, filth.
-
Card, about time ...
-
Cock
-
gonna be about 10minutes of injury time here, but these pricks aren't dirty at all.
-
Ashley Young is magic.
-
I take my comment back earlier.
They’re really dirty bastards.
Are we going to have a squad left after this game?
-
Dirty long-haired tie-dyed ******!
-
Poor ball Young.
-
Who’s our lady on water bottle duty?
SHe's the nutritionist, American. Stalked Googled her the other day after she caught the eye.
-
Not quite sure what the point of Buendia is here.
-
Cock
Beat me to it!
-
Who’s our lady on water bottle duty?
SHe's the nutritionist, American. Stalked Googled her the other day after she caught the eye.
Good lad.
-
Ashley Young is magic.
Poor ball Young.
Don't try Villa kids, not even once.
-
Kamara is our best player already for me. He is absolute class.
The French McGrath.
-
I take my comment back earlier.
They’re really dirty bastards.
Are we going to have a squad left after this game?
DIRTY LEEDS
-
Koch could easily be off, he got away with coming through the back of Ramsey earlier.
-
4 or 5 of our team might as well not be on the pitch, they are so uninvolved.
-
Where the fuck is Buendia? Has he touched the ball yet?
-
Apart from the goal, this has been unmitigated shite.
-
Ngonto is about the size of that bloke who used to shout 'De plane, de plane' on Fantasy Island.
-
Let's hope this is our shit half
-
I will be happy if we get to half time without conceding, it isn’t working presently. Just so sloppy again and the playing out from the back is gonna cost us if we ain’t careful, just too casual.
-
Ngonto is about the size of that bloke who used to shout 'De plane, de plane' on Fantasy Island.
Looks half decent though. Done miles more than Buendia.
-
Several villa players need a rocket. Passengers.
-
It's like Chelmsley Town vs Coleshill this.
-
Ngonto is about the size of that bloke who used to shout 'De plane, de plane' on Fantasy Island.
Looks half decent though. Done miles more than Buendia.
He's a cheating shit, goes down far too easily and is appealing before he hits the grass.
-
It’s good to be 1-0 up but this 442 is shit. Buendia is as much a winger as I am.
-
Moreno saves us
-
Brilliant Moreno. Bailey shit again.
-
Well if this is UEs style of play, so be it but don’t ask me to like it.
-
Great defending by the new lad!…well done Alex
-
Luiz has been dreadful this half. Can't seem to stay on his feet
-
We need to be much better than this second half.
-
Moreno earns his dough.
-
Yes.
And I don't see what changes from the bench will give us more width. Coutinho wide isn't going to cut it either.
-
Survived by the skin of our bollocks there. Thank fuck for Moreno
-
Luiz has been dreadful this half. Can't seem to stay on his feet
He’s such a frustrating player. Can’t recall a recent game where he had two good halves.
-
Let's be honest, this is fucking rubbish so far, we are totally under the cosh against fucking Leeds.
-
It's like Chelmsley Town vs Coleshill this.
Playground stuff
-
Well if this is UEs style of play, so be it but don’t ask me to like it.
Surely 4-2-3-1 would suit this group of players much better. Buendia and Ramsey aren’t wide players.
-
They are working harder than us and getting to the ball faster. Getting feisty now. Cards are coming
-
Moreno might have saved us but it was disgusting from the ref letting them take the free kick 15-20 yards further up field than where the offside was. That's the sort of pathetic officiating that changes games, but the commentators completely ignored it.
-
I hope they've pre-pulled a few pints. You'd want to sink at least three after that. Notwithstanding the one-goal lead.
-
Emi saves us, as does Ash
-
Fuck off Jesse
-
7 mins added
-
Fuck me, Martinez, what a keeper.
-
Ngonto is about the size of that bloke who used to shout 'De plane, de plane' on Fantasy Island.
Looks half decent though. Done miles more than Buendia.
He's a cheating shit, goes down far too easily and is appealing before he hits the grass.
Moany shouty arm-waving bastard
-
This is fucking dire.
-
Leeds score, offside
-
How are we still winning this. Just absolute shit again.
Good job we have Martinez.
-
What a save!
-
VAR check
-
Offside confirmed
-
We have been by far the second best team in a game of two teams
-
Defo offside. Fuck off Gary Neville you spunky eyed gobbler.
-
Wake up villa ffs
-
Got Stevenage written all over this again.
-
We’re going to lose this aren’t we.
-
This is fucking dire.
Bottle number two is breathing.
-
Ref is letting them kick us without any concern and their manager is a proper pirck as well.
Worst thing is you know we'll get loads of bookings if we match up to them.
-
This has been a disgraceful performance. Any chance of our "world class manager" doing something about it?
-
There is no better goalkeeper in the world than our goalkeeper.
-
How the hell are we still leading?
-
Is Andy Townsend blind? The bloke who touched the ball from the cross was a mile offside
-
Gnoto a whiney little prick, ain’t he?
-
Masterful control of the game by us. Leeds players getting booked and tired and we'll take advantage and rattle a few more in second half. Brilliant from us so far.
-
This is fucking dire.
Bottle number two is breathing.
Three…
-
We are lacking physicality here. Need that extra man in midfield.
-
We really are fucking terrible against a high press. The main reason is we have hardly any pace in the team.
-
One quick break aside, we've been utter gash. Not sure what our game plan is?
-
Another poor first half, despite leading 1-0. Hopefully we improve second half like we have in recent league games.
-
Not enjoyed this much. They look better than us, despite being dirty as fuck.
Their manager has just been described as 'charismatic'. I could think of a more suitable word beginning with 'c'
Gnonto is an annoying little shit aswell. Good player, mind.
-
Buendia is a complete passenger in this half.
Didn’t realise he was playing.
Hardly made a mistake this half.
-
This is fucking dire.
Bottle number two is breathing.
Three…
Alsace Premier Cru Gewürztraminer and Saale-Unstrut Weißburgunder tonight…
Think I need them both!
-

Two Pinot Noir seen off, now cracked open an Amarone that didn’t get drunk at Christmas as I think something stronger might be required.
-
Handbags FFS!

The danger is if it starts impacting your eyesight and you see Villa concede twice or more at the same time
-
Dire.
-
That was absolutely fucking terrible bar the first three minutes.
The game has been played in our half, 3 or 4 of our players have barely seen the ball, let alone touched it.
Needs to change something.
-
Two Pinot Noir seen off, now cracked open an Amarone that didn’t get drunk at Christmas as I think something stronger might be required.
Very nice. Love a good Pinot Noir. New World or Old World?
-
Half times. Sort it out Emery.
-
Aside from Kamara, Emi's save, and one moment by Bailey, that was gash.
-
Awful shite, worse than Stevenage.
Losing ever 50 50, pressed to an inch of our lives, can't keep the ball for more than a pass. Should be having our arses handed to us.
-
I'm enjoying the snooker.
-
If you were a Leeds fan you’d be spewing after that.
Luv it!
-
That from Cooper is exactly th esort of bollocks these pricks do and that the ref should be handling, but Oliver is a pathetic little weasel so he'll just ignore it until there's a reaction and then punish that instead.

They normally are.
-
Luiz, Buendia and Bailey are passengers and we cannot afford to carry three players. On the other hand Kamara is absolute class. Lucky to be a goal up. Need to match their formation as we are being bullied. We have a lack of physicality and need to match their aggression and movement. Some shit hot last gasp defending from Villa there though.
-
Daylight robbery, they've battered us. I have absolutely no idea what the fuck were trying to do, not one of our lot can hold the ball up. Utter shit.
-
What a strange half...we are getting hammered 0 1!
Leeds have been by far the better team. Apart from the goal we haven't put three passes together.
Buendia has not had a kick. He has bena complete passenger. It is like playing with 10.
-
That was absolutely fucking terrible bar the first three minutes.
The game has been played in our half, 3 or 4 of our players have barely seen the ball, let alone touched it.
Needs to change something.
Yep Kamara gave an insight to what’s needed right at the end. He calmly took it past the player who was manically pressing him. We’ve been spooked by the press, we need to calmer and play round them/over them.
-
Well that was mostly bollocks.
Hopefully a bit less shit next half.
One plus is that Emery and the powers that be see the need for 2 to 3 more starters to come into this side by the end of Jan.
-
Their game is all about press. Therefore, it makes sense to to get the ball into their half as quickly as possible, at least then they have to press there. F***ing about at the back™ is just inviting pressure onto ourselves
-
Only tuned in after 7 minutes but Buendia desperately needs upgrading. Totally anonymous again like most matches.
-
Townsend not bigging us up once.Gone right off him
-
tell them we are the home team and that the goal is down the other end of the pitch
-
Miraculous we’re leading but I’ll take it. Need to be way better in the second half.
-
It looks like someone left a biro pen in the wash with that Leeds kit...
-
What a strange half...we are getting hammered 0 1!
Leeds have been by far the better team. Apart from the goal we haven't put three passes together.
Buendia has not had a kick. He has bena complete passenger. It is like playing with 10.
That altercation was the first time I noticed him...
-
We just need to calm down they will keep being frantic, but if we’re composed there will be huge gaps to exploit.
-
Blimey, can always guarantee the match thread will bring you down to Earth.
We're winning, having scored a great goal, beating dirty Leeds, and Emi has made a stupendous save to deny the f***ers.
I've had worse Friday nights.
-
We really are fucking terrible against a high press. The main reason is we have hardly any pace in the team.
Also fucking terrible against a low press.
-

It was the only time he was involved at all. Utter garbage.
-
Buendia totally anonymous. Bailey very patchy. Don’t get the Dougie hate - think he’s been solid.
-
We had 1 shot. Utter dross
-
Covered my back this time just in case there's another Stevenage special.
-
Two Pinot Noir seen off, now cracked open an Amarone that didn’t get drunk at Christmas as I think something stronger might be required.
Very nice. Love a good Pinot Noir. New World or Old World?
One of each. One France, one NZ.

They still play a lot like they did under Bielsa. Manic pressing and when they win it back, they all charge forward like those horses on the Grand National game down the penny arcade.
If we had some composure and pace in this team, we could be cutting them to ribbons on the break over and over again, rather than just once.
-
We had 1 shot. Utter dross
We’re winning, so utter dross is probably a bit far.
-
Buendia totally anonymous. Bailey very patchy. Don’t get the Dougie hate - think he’s been solid.
I hope it’s not ‘hate.’ I love the bloke, but tonight he’s been poor.
-
Unai winning the tactical battle, fuck off Jesse you big Jessie.
-
Blimey, can always guarantee the match thread will bring you down to Earth.
We're winning, having scored a great goal, beating dirty Leeds, and Emi has made a stupendous save to deny the f***ers.
I've had worse Friday nights.
Did you not see the game against Stevenage when we went 1 up in the first half?

I think it is composure (brains) and pace that we absolutely lack.
Our only really composed player is Kamara. We have zero pace anywhere.
-
Two Pinot Noir seen off, now cracked open an Amarone that didn’t get drunk at Christmas as I think something stronger might be required.
Very nice. Love a good Pinot Noir. New World or Old World?
One of each. One France, one NZ.
Is the French one better?
There's no better wine than a good Burgundy.
-
Started really well, but have gradually regressed into the kind of nothing performance we have seen far too often. We've got to compete physically with these and we aren't in too many areas.
-
We had 1 shot. Utter dross
We’re winning, so utter dross is probably a bit far.
We are, but more by luck than judgement.
-
This 4-4-2 with two non wide players is shit. Take Buendia off, and stick Bailey Ramsey and Coutinho behind Ings.
-
Buendia totally anonymous. Bailey very patchy. Don’t get the Dougie hate - think he’s been solid.
I love Dougie on the ball but he cant tackle and goes down a bit too easy. The Rodrigo chance Dougie just went sprawling on the floor.
-
When in possession the football is quite wonderful. Controlling the tempo and beating the press.
Really enjoying that side of things.
Maybe a bit too confident as have let Leeds back into it and didnt offer enough in going forward more wanted to show we are a better footballinh team.
Think Leeds had their chances and Villa learn at half time
Lets put it to bed with early 2nd half goals.
Hopefully Oliver keeps a handle on things as there going to be a sending off at this rate
Up The Villa
-
Score another 5 and we go above Chelsea. Very good chance that will happen.
-
Whatever the score ends up being here, this game shows me how much we need a more physical partner for Bouba Kamara.
-
Too many of our players slipping like Bambi on ice.Have they got studs in?
-
Luiz is just so inconsistent.
-
Whatever the score ends up being here, this game shows me how much we need a more physical partner for Bouba Kamara.
Guendouzi?
-
decent first 5 mins, then it's been all Leeds. If we went in 3-1 down we couldn't complain.
-
Blimey, can always guarantee the match thread will bring you down to Earth.

I've had worse Friday nights.
Did you not see the game against Stevenage when we went 1 up in the first half?
Yep, but I prefer to look on the bright side rather than assuming we're going to louse it up again. Glass half full me.
-
Buendia totally anonymous. Bailey very patchy. Don’t get the Dougie hate - think he’s been solid.
I love Dougie on the ball but he cant tackle and goes down a bit too easy. The Rodrigo chance Dougie just went sprawling on the floor.
Yes Buendia is such a desperado sometimes way he carries on
Dougie has been erratic with his tackling and fouling first half
He's a great footballer but too many fouls but its part of the plan to be competitive and get to the ball first tonight that has seen slight change in his play.
Kamara , Young, Mings and Konsa playing it well
Martinez and Young are just a joy!
-
Whatever the score ends up being here, this game shows me how much we need a more physical partner for Bouba Kamara.
Guendouzi?
He would absolutely relish this type of game.
-
My glass is quite full actually. UTV!
-
Our midfield two have been fine, especially Kamara. Martinez started a bit lazily but saved a certain goal. Young has been excellent and 2 x CBs fine. That aside it's been another shit show. Two injuries in 20 odd minutes obviously a big disruption but we have four players we don't seem to have a clue where they are supposed to be.
-
Perhaps K Young needs to come on for one of Bailey or Buendia?
-
beundia and ramsey need to contribute more tis half
-
One of each. One France, one NZ.
Is the French one better?
There's no better wine than a good Burgundy.
Controversially - I’m not that keen on Burgundy - it seems to trade on its name at a premium price.
For great wine that is similar in taste and structure, I reckon Stodden in the Ahr Valley, Germany is pretty close - but a fraction of the price.
I am also a fan of Romanian Pinot Noir too, but think some of the German ones are starting to push into new territory now.
Although I’d never say no to a glass of Burgundy… I’ve got a few locked up in the cellar for some day in the future
-
My glass is quite full actually. UTV!
My glass is mostly empty, but the bit that isn't has got a big fuck off dram of Ledaig in it. So that's alright.
-
beundia and ramsey need to contribute more tis half
The ball isn't going anywhere near either of them.
-
I know I am about as one -eyed as you can get when it comes to the Villa ,but listening to the commentary and comments on Now TV I don't know why they don't just say "Villa are crap, Mighty Leeds are brilliant and should be nine goals are in front".
-
The ming's fuck up.
-
A Tyrone special
-
FFS Mings. Terrible, Villa.
-
I know there's nothing in it and we're not signing him, but imagine the ricket potential of Mings Maguire in central defence.
-
Jesus FC. How many times.
-
Buendia much better already.
-

Leicestershire wine club needs a meeting I feel!
-
Konsa ffs
-
Konsa had no idea whatsoever what he was doing there.
-
Leeds. Still (and forever) dirty.
-
Great move
-
Another Villa shot. All over them
-
Two Pinot Noir seen off, now cracked open an Amarone that didn’t get drunk at Christmas as I think something stronger might be required.
Very nice. Love a good Pinot Noir. New World or Old World?
One of each. One France, one NZ.
Well balanced.
-
At last better Villa
-
trying to pass it backwards under no pressure and slips on
his arse
-
Ffs villa Konsa n Luiz
-
Pass from Kamara and touch from Moreno. Filth.
-

I’m up for that. One thing Hinckley misses badly is a decent wine shop. Although I did go into the Y7 express and found them selling quite a few bottles of Bosconia and decent Bordeaux amongst others at 2 for £15. I asked why and they said “because nobody around here wants it”
That was a good day.
-
Oh and… come on Villa! Looking better this half already
-
Luiz is just so inconsistent.
He's great when we've got a measure of control over the game but when a team presses with energy and strength in midfield, he gets overrun. He lacks some of the physical qualities to be truly top class for me.
-
We’ve got a superb wine shop in Uppingham.
-
We’ve got a superb wine shop in Uppingham.
This needs investigating.
-
Fuck knows how Dirty Leeds aren't level. Konsa and Mings are terrifying when asked to play out.
-
Stop giving the fucking ball away FFS
-
Another shot, another player down
-
We are very messy today. Leeds are pressing us all over the place.
-
Fucking shitting around at the back
-
Konsa’s not good enough, let’s be honest.
-
I know I am about as one -eyed as you can get when it comes to the Villa ,but listening to the commentary and comments on Now TV I don't know why they don't just say "Villa are crap, Mighty Leeds are brilliant and should be nine goals are in front".
To be fair most of that is true.
-
We need a 2nd. The insecurity of the last game is looming large on me
-
Konsa’s not good enough, let’s be honest.
Absolutely he isn't, we need to start to look at the likes of him and think how we can improve.
-
Too much pissing about with it at the back. Won't be long before Leeds make it count I fear.
-
The commentary is painfully shit "they've both had spells in 2nd tier in the last decade", as if the 2 are remotely similar. Why do so many people in the press refuse to see these [ricks for what they are?
-
midfield apart from Kamara too lightweight
-
We're at home but this game is being played almost entirely in our half.
-
Either we get a jammy goal to make it 2 or they are going to score twice and we lose this.
-
Cannot hold onto the ball.
-
Not a great game, but this thread is unbearable.
-
Either we get a jammy goal to make it 2 or they are going to score twice and we lose this.
Yup.
-
I am starting to think that Buendia is a supremely talented footballer in absolutely the wrong league.
-
We're just not a very good team.
Until the crappy players are replaced, it doesn't seem to matter who the manager is. We have a distinct way of playing and it isn't very good.
-
Look at Mings and Konsa for that. Fucking WAKE UP
-
Look at Mings and Konsa for that. Fucking WAKE UP
Those pair would be two of the first out the door.
-
Here comes cuntface
-
Twat bamford coming on
-
This is nailed on 1-1.
-
Fucking hell wake the fuck up Villa.
-
I'd take off Konsa now, he is spreading panic
-
As dirty as they are, they've been the better team overall and have won most 50/50s. This has been a shite performance cine the first 5 minutes. Really poor.
-
Pass the ball, Bailey, this is not a playground!
-
I am starting to think that Buendia is a supremely talented footballer in absolutely the wrong league.
The Championship looks his level.
-
Moreno isn’t much of an upgrade on Digne on this showing.
-
Dirty bastards. Some things never change.
-
Booby booked for time wasting
-
Oh here he comes.
Another one I can’t stand.
-
Villa score, offside.
-
Not a great game, but this thread is unbearable.
Thank you for your input!
-
Fucking pass Bailey you knobhead
-
Not sure if we're playing with way because Emery is a hostage to fortune and he believes sitting deep even at home is the only way to go with the current personnel.
Or whether this is what he'll do more often than not even with better quality in there.
We're making one of the worst teams in the division look decent.
-
VAR check as usual
-
Change things up Emery, this is shite.
-
Fucking pass Bailey you knobhead
Another good shot
-
goal surely
-
Bailey did so well and then fucked it up.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
That’s a fucking goal
-
Change things up Emery, this is shite.
2-0 is very shite
-
Fuck me, how are we winning this 2-0?
-
Un effing believable!
-
That’s the jammy goal I was on about
-
Yes ! Get in Emi
-
Well done Emi
-
Gooooooooooool
-
Get in! Well done Leon and good head Emi.
-
Told we'd score more second half. Never in doubt. Drama queens.
-
Jammiest 2-0 I've seen in a long time, lovely stuff. Hopefully we see it out and listen to their stupid cock of a manager cry
-
Thank fuck for that.
-
2-0 is a good lead the way we’ve been playing and a shit lead the way we’ve been playing
-
Yessssssss.
Particularly satisfying as Leeds will be totally gutted.
-
Fuck me, how are we winning this 2-0?
Daylight robbery
-
Ok - now lets show a bit of more composer
-
First thing he's done all game...
-
Told we'd score more second half. Never in doubt. Drama queens.
Amen!
-
Change things up Emery, this is shite.
2-0 is very shite
It does not mean we haven't been shite. Football innit.
-
I’m glad for that. Not sure how we’re winning it 2-0 but I’ll take it!
-
Ok - now lets show a bit of more composer
I'll Bach you with that comment
-
Ok - now lets show a bit of more composer
Hopefully we can Handel it and Leeds don't get one Bach.

I’m a little bit Brahms and Liszt.
-
Im starting to think that the second coming of Young might be better than the first
-
Fantastic stuff
-
Townsend has come out with a lot of bullshit here but claiming Buendia has been our best player may be the worst of the lot.
-
They haven't pressed us nearly as hard this half
-
Townsend has come out with a lot of bullshit here but claiming Buendia has been our best player may be the worst of the lot.
It’s Gary Neville co-commentator on Sky.

Moreno chance

That Bailey is shite.

I'm watching on bein and townsend has been awful.
-
Ok - now lets show a bit of more composer
I'll Bach you with that comment
The less Strauss the better
Since the second goal we're looking a lot more Bizet.
-
That Gnonto reminds me of St Maximin.
-
Ashley Young was a superb player when he was first here. But he’s every bit as superb now in a very different and needed role. What a brilliant pro. Whenever I looked at how Milner developed, Ash is almost a carbon copy.
-
Ashley Young has been brilliant tonight. Arguably our player of the season so far
-
I love how Moreno gets forward
-
I prefer this bailey to his twin brother that played last week
-
Danny Boy….
-
That was sumptuous from Bailey. You can tell he's feeling confident.
-
Townsend has come out with a lot of bullshit here but claiming Buendia has been our best player may be the worst of the lot.
It’s Gary Neville co-commentator on Sky.
Who is the other bloke? When he explained his 'The Rock' gag I cringed so hard I ended up into another dimension.
-

Need to bring Saint-Saëns on to tighten up the midfield.

Wouldn't mind us going to a back 5 now.

Not sure - but he is truly awful
-
A few lovely little touches from Luiz since our 2nd. When we get a bit of space to use like this he's a great player to watch but he's not suited to the sort of arm wrestle this was for an hour.
-
Do the commentary team want to shag that fantasy island geezer
-
Can we bring Guendouzi on now?
-
I'm not sure, but I think Gary Neville might be quite keen on Gnonto.
-

He's the worst I've heard for a long time and I can't stand commentators in general.
-
That was sumptuous from Bailey. You can tell he's feeling confident.
He's brilliant if he's given space to play...
-
C’mon Leon, fucking control the ball
-
Fuck me Konsa. Passing across the 6 yard box.
-
All over them
-
Kamara is a class above.
-
Feeling more relaxed now.
To cap the night off I'd like to see a comet fall and hit Bamford in the face.
-
Morg and Phil coming on
-
Morgan and Cout coming on
-
Sum up 18months of leon bailey in 2 posts:
That was sumptuous from Bailey. You can tell he's feeling confident.
C’mon Leon, fucking control the ball
Fantastic or utterly shit with nothing in between and regularly both in the space of a few minutes.
-
OMG, Kamara is filthy, in the best possible way, the way he can just take a player out of the game with a little swerve. What a player.
-
What a ball from Moreno.
-
Buendia and JJ off
-
The King Of Shithousery at his best
-
OMG, Kamara is filthy, in the best possible way, the way he can just take a player out of the game with a little swerve. What a player.
Agree completely. Rolls Royce of a player.
-
Where are the lads who run the Footy-Vill account? They said Moreno should have started? Fair play!
-
Going to a back 5 would help Ashley Young out. He's gassed.
-
2-1 Leeds score
-
Bamford the twat
-
Where are the lads who run the Footy-Vill account? They said Moreno should have started? Fair play!
Yeah it's the best debut I've seen for ages. Looks quality.
-
Bollocks. Can't see us winning now
-
Where are the lads who run the Footy-Vill account? They said Moreno should have started? Fair play!
He's quick and direct, it gives us a great out ball.
-
Foul in the build up all day long
-
Well a nice chilled ten minutes now
And Neville wants to wank him off after
-
Shit
-
2-1 Leeds score
Fucking hell PWS, are you watching this game from inside a DeLorean?
-
FFS here we go.
-
Of course that utter ****** scores.
-
Crap.
-
Dismal from Young and Sanson. Fuck off.
-
Please no
-
Bamford the twat
Gives me the creeps. Looks like a serial killer
-
Bamfords a twit, but Leeds deserve that. They've battered us
-
2-1 Leeds score
Fucking hell PWS, are you watching this game from inside a DeLorean?
I'm watching on Canal+ in France and he's a minute ahead.
-
Typical fucking Villa.
-
I don’t think I can do this again.

I hope everyone's glass is half-full for the last 5 or ten minutes left.
-
2-1 Leeds score
Fucking hell PWS, are you watching this game from inside a DeLorean?
I'm watching on Canal+ in France and he's a minute ahead.
I genuinely don't know how he did it. I was on flashscore at the time and he was about 30 seconds ahead!
-
I'm all for Martinez's time wasting in this circumstances

Come on Villa

Listening on the radio I expect.

Every time we win a 50/50 they scream for the foul and it's clearly working on Oliver who's given them a fair few very soft free kicks.

Att 42,008. It's a DISGRACE
-
Att 42,008. It's a DISGRACE
Fred says we have no fans
-
Over 42,008. It's a DISGRACE
With 20k on the waiting list. Where are they all?
-
What the fuck do they show the subs before they come on? The Leeds bloke flashed a page from a folder at their last sub. What was it? A picture of a pair of tits?
-
6 mins added time
-
Att 42,008. It's a DISGRACE
Why?
-
Att 42,008. It's a DISGRACE
Why?
Er, whoosh!?
-
That from Meslier is a red for me, fucking awful challenge that was both a prfessional foul and very dangerous play.
-
Oh stupid time to need a piss...
-
Att 42,008. It's a DISGRACE
Why?
It just is. We can’t fill the ground. So many empty seats again. Why are we even expanding?
-
Where have those 6 fuckkg minutes come from? Leeds goal?
-
Emi booked, surprisingly
-
Kamara is smoother than a cashmere codpiece.
-
I don’t think I can do this again.
We do it every week!
-
That from Meslier is a red for me, fucking awful challenge that was both a prfessional foul and very dangerous play.
Is there a law of the game that covers this?
-
We give the ball away so much in almost every part of the pitch. It's outstanding really.
-
I do love Mr Martinez. His faux pissed-off look after the card… brilliant
-
Ffs villa
-
We'd better not concede now that we have Emery coaching in real time.
-
Kamara what a player
-
Fucking hell Villa
-
Kamara’s been like silk all game.
-
That free kick Gnonto got he was already on the floor when Young made contact, Oliver is such a shit ref.
-
Kamara’s been like silk all game.
Is that good or not good?
-
The usual sphincter puckering is hitting here.
And it’s not just the Covid I’ve been suffering with this week that is causing it.
Villa-induced Sphincter puckering.
-
Emery has a silky coat.
-
FT. Villa win.
Never in doubt.
-
HI HO ASTON VILLA!
-
Haha fuck off Leeds
-
Piece of piss, just playing with them. Fuck off Leeds!
-
That’ll do. Not pretty but 3 points. Shame Bamford scored
-
Squeaky bum at the end but we made it.
Well done Villa especially Young, Martinez Bailey and Kamara.
-
Our new signing looks the business
-
What the fuck do they show the subs before they come on? The Leeds bloke flashed a page from a folder at their last sub. What was it? A picture of a pair of tits?
...looking for a new living room carpet, what do you think, Pat?...
-
Fuck me, how are we winning this 2-0?
Daylight robbery
Floodlight robbery.
