-
The word thread on the thread! FFS!
-
It would be nice if PWS could stop playing the announce the goal within 0.2 milliseconds game today too because it is really annoying and worse than VAR.
Please stop!
-
Bailey is going to be on fire today.
-
The word thread on the thread! FFS!
I'm.trying to be inclusive towards those who lack brain cells.
Edited. You are right.
-
Win please.
-
I hope Bailey does well today, but I would have put Traore in ahead of him. Ollie is in hot form playing centrally, so Duran was never going to start. It was only ever going to be Bailey or Traore.
3 points please lads! UTV!
-
Second late-starting match-thread in a row. Have PWS and Toronto gone and got lives or something?
-
Not totally confident today. Only bet. Ramsey a score or assist 8/1
-
The word thread on the thread! FFS!

Edited. You are right.
I mean, you could follow your line of logic and omit the final word too. What else coud it be but an Aston Villa vs Bournemouth "match"? ;)
-
looking to go swimming
-
Bailey FFS - my first thought too.

It could be Aston Villa vs Bournemouth half and half scarf sales but I've pointed out that it is the 'Match'.
-
Bailey to play a blinder today. Maybe
-
I was about to say we need to give these lot a fucking good hiding.
Then I saw we have evened it up by picking Bailey. Go on Leon serve me a plate of humble pie at 4.50
-
Bailey needs to produce something today, as shown on here people are starting to lose patience with him (me included)
-
I'd want to start seeing more from Ramsay too.
-
I'd want to start seeing more from Ramsay too.
Yes he did some good stuff last week
-
Fact:
Bournemouth have conceded the most goals in the Premier League from Set pieces. 15 goals.
-

I've seen good bits from him the last two matches.
As he's starting to drive with the ball, link up well and make runs into box.
Its just the consistency and certainly hope he can push on now with a goal.
-
David Brooks for them is returning after having Cancer , well done him !
Although Pat Murphy has to have a dig about home fans giving him the right reception
if he comes on. He does come across sneery as a commentator
-
Good to see Nas at Villa Park
https://twitter.com/preeceobserver/status/1637102664499462147?s=61
-
Think Ramsey will score today..
Really don't understand giving Bailey another start.
-
Neither do I but the other options are not much better.
-
rivers? or is this on avtv?
-
Neither do I but the other options are not much better.
Sinisalo could probably do a better job.
-
Fact:
Bournemouth have conceded the most goals in the Premier League from Set pieces. 15 goals.
It is not necessary to say 'Fact' when you are stating a fact. Just state it. FFS!
-
Lee Hendrie on comms again, I can't get away from him!
-

It is only necessary to state FACT after your opinion if you are the fat Spanish waiter and you are very very angry.
-
Flash Streams guy is getting married. Any help?
-
Lee Hendrie on comms again, I can't get away from him!
He always sounds like his microphone keeps cutting out, like Norman Collier.
-

He's often quick to have a pop at us while reporting on games at VP.
Wish he was relegated to presser-duty. He's not afraid to ask something stronger than the usual numb-nuts clichéd questions his colleagues ask.
-
Great start and a nifty goal.
-
Sccccooorrrreeeeeee Luiz!
-
Yesssss
-
Great play by Leon
-
Laid on by Bailey!
-
SCOORCHIOOOOOOOOO!
-
Nice start.
-
Well done Doug
-
Lovely.
-
we've started superbly and that's a great goal, really well worked and probably the 3rd or 4th good position we've got into.
-
Well done Leon.
-
Bournemouth are shit, there's loads of space in front of their back line. We need to dish out a shellacking here.
-
That goal started with a brilliant turn and run by Doug. Bit lucky for Ollie’s shot to land with Bailey but he did really well with it to lay on the goal.
-
Great work from Bailey and Dougie.
-
Bournemouth are shit, there's loads of space in front of their back line. We need to dish out a shellacking here.
Steady there steady
-
Fucking hell McGinn
-
SCOORCHIOOOOOOOOO!
No thank you!
-
Nas and Wes at the game. Can’t recall the last time they were both at a game.
-
Now please can Bailey do that more often.
-
Billing booked
-
That Dafabet logo on their shirts is giving me the willies.
-
Should hit it first time , too many touches
-
Lucky McGinn saw it coming, could've been nasty (and a red card) If McGinn didn't move his foot away.
-
Nice move again. Bailey got it caught up in his feet
-
Bournemouth are not great, but one can definitely see the style of play that Emery is trying to instill.
-
We play some absolutely brilliant flowing football these days. Couple more players of top quality and we'll be a proper proper team under Emery.
-
The French commentator here has been calling them Portsmouth for the last ten minutes. I wish there was a way of muting him.
-
Nas and Wes at the game. Can’t recall the last time they were both at a game.
Let's have a performance and result to thank them for everything they've done for us thus far.
-
Some sloppy play creeping into our game.
-
Some sloppy play creeping into our game.
Buendia gets muscled off it time and time again.

Some sloppy play creeping into our game.
Always happens after we score
-
Some sloppy play creeping into our game.
Buendia gets muscled off it time and time again.
He's having one of those games so far...
-
Time to wake up Villa.
-
My bum is starting to get squeaky. They have had way too much of the ball.
-
Get a fucking grip Villa
-
Some realy lazy defending by Konsa then.
-
Um, why are we putting no pressure at all on them when they have the ball?
-
We've gone shit.
-
Buendia worse than useless so far.
-
Our playing out from the back got to be much sharper
-
Sort it out Unai!
-
Wake up Emi 2
-
Watkins should have scored there.
-
Watkins typical one on one
-
Oh come on Villa. Apart from the goal, this is a tough watch!
-
All of a sudden a cracking move and Ollie might have done better
-
Aargh, Watkins has to score there.
-
Watkins up to his old tricks!
-
Buendia has been poor but Watkins should be burying that.
-
He made it too easy for the goalie, should have kept it on the ground
-
Crap from Watkins. You have to score there.
-
Not good enough Watkins! Take your chances!
-
Pat Murphy usual complimentary self
-
Poor effort from Watkins
-
Buendia loses the ball every single time.
-
Buendia loses the ball every single time.
So frustrating they've put a man tight on him but he continues to do the same thing time after time.
-
Another chance goes
-
FFS Ramsey, dreadful.
-
Another good move. Ball in a little too quickly to JJ
-
Ramsey should have used his left peg
-
We aren't clinical enough and haven't been for ages. We should be 3 up.
-
Martinez's distribution has been sublime today. Little dinked passes to feet all over the pitch. Lovely to see.
-
Mings looking good
-
McGinn being pushed into their player = yellow card?!
-
stop giving the fucking ball away FFS
-
Brentford scored.
-
McGinn being pushed into their player = yellow card?!
It was a clear yellow for me.
-
Handball?
-
Anochamce hand ball?
-
Nice little corner move. JJ should have at least hit the target
-
Ramsey misses a sitter
-
Of course we do not get that call.
-
What the fucl
-
Why's that not handball??
-
That's gotta be a penalty given what has been given this season.
-
How’s that not a penalty?
-
Ramsey misses a sitter
handball
-
Pathetic VAR
-
HOW THE FUCK IS THAT NOT A PENALTY?
-
That is a penalty. Pathetic from VAR
-
That's 200 per cent a pen
It's fucking going in
-
Because we are not Citeh or Manyoo etc
-
How the fuck wasn't that a pen
-
I think that's the clearest handball I've ever seen
-
HOW THE FUCK IS THAT NOT A PENALTY?
It is!!!! Absolutely ridiculous.
-
This game is bent. How the fuck is that not a penalty?
-
Because we are not Citeh or Manyoo etc
Yep.
-
That is an outrageous decision. Absolutely scandalous. Most blatant penalty ever.
Sack the VAR team.
-
That has to be a penalty. I've never seen a clearer handball than that.
-
Morruson says went from thigh to hand
-
It’s shit like those inconsistencies that drive fans of all teams mad. Given the ludicrous handballs that are given in the PL that was as clear and obvious as it gets.
-
No pressure on the ref though was there. We just sort of shrugged a bit. Not saying that's wrong or right, but this team is more timid than some other teams in this league.
-
Fuck me Villa. Good play Matty to save us there
-
The way that handball is now being judged that is a penalty.
-
Both hands! Ridiculous!
-
Because we are not Citeh or Manyoo etc
Or arsenal
-
Defo pen! Cheating ref and cheating var!
Again another decision that would have been given to a media darling team and certainly against Villa.
Poor officiating again!
-
Morruson says went from thigh to hand
So, it still hit his hand! I
-
Might as well fuck VAR off
What's the fucking point
-
It WAS a pen. But we're not a Greedy 6 side. So it wasn't
-
Morruson says went from thigh to hand
So, it still hit his hand! I
That's a rule change, but that didn't touch thigh
-
That's where we need Ash getting in the ref's face.
If it came up off his thigh then probably fair enough, but it didn't look like it. Other teams would still get it.
-
Because we are not Citeh or Manyoo etc
Or arsenal
I did write "etc."
-
No pressure on the ref though was there. We just sort of shrugged a bit. Not saying that's wrong or right, but this team is more timid than some other teams in this league.
Imagine rat face Fernández he would be jumping on the ref screaming
-
https://twitter.com/wrightyavfc/status/1637118995479293953?t=aeAuGkzN5yTwjw2UApj3Ug&s=19
Clearly didn't touch his thigh. Blatant pen
-
In the day's glamour tie, Bath City are losing 2-0 to St Albans City at a very pleasant, sunny Twerton Park.
-
The ref is a joke. Watching the game on Portuguese tv and even the Portuguese commentators couldn’t believe that decision over as obvious a pen as you’ll ever see!
-
I think that's the clearest handball I've ever seen
It was a hell of a save to be fair.
-

Exactly. We all know Man City/Utd or Liverpool would get that call at home. It's blatant.
-
I cant understand how that was not a pently it was going on target, and the defenders hand knocked it over.
I just cant understand how that isn't a pen surely that's the text book definition of a pen
-

No where near. Stevie wonder on VAR
-
The ref needs to be advised by VAR to go and have a look. That they didn’t even do that is a failure of the system. I can accept, albeit begrudgingly a decision but if you have the technology use it. And give the ref on the pitch the option to review.
-
There was one this week where the defender had his back to the attacker, jumped and it hit him from three feet away. Penalty given. The decision today was from much further away, his hands were in an unnatural position and he was facing the player. Utter shit.
-
I think that's the clearest handball I've ever seen
It was a hell of a save to be fair.
Ha! Sign him up.
-
Playing great stuff at times and the injection of a bit of quality will make all the difference. Still vulnerable though, we look too relaxed now and again.
And that handball? Another reason, on top of all the others that there is absolutely no point in VAR.
-

What's the actual point of VAR if it doesn't pick up blatant, potentially game changing mistakes?
-
That is as clear a penalty as you can get.
-
Ten minutes are taken on precision millimetre offside decisions but blatant handballs are waved away. Fucking wankers!
-
Mings, McGinn and Cash having great games, Ramsey getting more involved, likewise Moreno. Emi B and Watkins both really poor. We really need to take advantage of being on top and be more clinical. The pen decision was a joke, the only reason I can see for not giving it is the keeper would have easily caught it. I can only think they make the rules up as they go along. Shocking decision.

No i think the confusion is caused by the deflection of his other f*cking hand
-
VAR was introduced to HELP the on field officials make better and more accurate decisions. Their job wasn’t initially introduced to make decisions. It was to suggest to the match ref, hey take a closer look at this. It has completed failed in that regard. This was a clear example of where the on field officials missed it and the ref would have given the penalty upon his review. Absolute shit
-
The pen decision was a joke, the only reason I can see for not giving it is the keeper would have easily caught it.
Since when was that a thing? It doesn't matter if the ball's going nowhere near the goal.
-
Buendia has been disappointing so far, needs to up it big time. We are getting a little casual at times, hopefully get the second shortly and finish them.

You cant not give a pently because you think the keeper would have saved it. Thats like not giving us a free kick cos we'll only waste it
-
I think we need to see Bert coming on.
-
It'll be interesting to see how the ref's try and worm out of this one, unbelievable decision even by their appalling standards.

-
Even Mario Melchiot, a former defender, helping present the PL show says it was a penalty
-
Would like to see big Jhon get half an hour.
-
Hit his thigh according to the Guardian. Must've been another clip they saw. Astounding.

But it's a subjective decision & that's why VAR is a waste of time and will never work.

It isn't a thing, just like the ball hitting his thigh isn't a thing, it never happened. The thing is, they will get away with it.

Yes, deflection to hand isn't a penalty anymore

There was no deflection.

I was referring to the new rule, not this incident
-
McGinn's haircut reminds me of being bullied at school.
-
Nice move again. Good play by Doug. Ollie with a good turn and shot
-
McGinn's haircut reminds me of being bullied at school.
Ha!
-
Started well but need the second while we're on top, I can see them skanking one when we inevitably piss around at the back and cock it up.
-
McGinn's haircut reminds me of being buggered at school.
-
Watkins isn't good enough to be that selfish.
-
Every single time Buendia gets the ball with his back to goal, he turns straight into the defender and loses it. You'd think he'd learn.
-
McGinn's haircut reminds me of being buggered at school.
Hahahahaha! Rape! Brilliant!
-
Watkins isn't good enough to be that selfish.
Playground stuff.
-
Cam scores for Boro
-
Wank shot that Leon
-
Been really impressed with Dougie today
-
Four players in the six yard box then
Need a second
-
Been really impressed with Dougie today
Him Mcginn Ramsey excellent, the 3 ahead of them poor.
-
Ramsay been alot better
-
Ramsey with a superb run just chopped down in full stride
-
Mings is annoying me with his twatting into touch. How much does he trouser to play professional football?
-
They brought their Traore on. I’d like to see ours on too.
-
Bailey is so thick that it hurts
-
Buendia has been awful, Bailey has got worse as the game has gone on and Watkins not sharp enough
-
I'd get bertie on for Bailey
-
Just a stupid free kick to give away
-
Now I'm sweating
-
I'd take Buendia off too, he's had a shocker.
-
Emi saves us
-
Cam scores for Boro
Twice!
-
I'd take Buendia off too, he's had a shocker.
awful
-
What a save by Emi
-
What a save
-
Save Emi
-
Come on Villa.
-
Changes about to be made by Unai
-
It'll be interesting to see how the ref's try and worm out of this one, unbelievable decision even by their appalling standards.
Was just thinking that, can't wait to see how that twat Walton on Sky tries to spin it. "I think this one hinges on the definition of 'hand' and 'ball'. Does everything at the end of the arm with five fingers necessarily mean it's a hand, that's what the ref had to decide."
-
Having no central midfielders on the bench isn't great, is it. No doubt Chambers will come on there at some point and be generally awful.
-
Bert on for Bailey
-
I'd take Buendia off too, he's had a shocker.
awful
Apart from the great ball through to Watkins he's been poor.
-
We're making hard work of this
-
Great tackle Konsa.
-
Burntisland sometimes ffs
-
Buendia has been utterly shit.
-
Burntisland sometimes ffs
Huh?
-
Another handbsll
-
Do we know who is on VAR duty?
-
Fuck off VAR. Cúnts.
-
Do we know who is on VAR duty?
Gary O'Neill's dad.
-
Fuck this ref and the VAR, that's 2 that would've been given for the 'big 6'. Both are, by the letter of the law, clear penalties.
-
We need a second to win this I reckon, if it stays at 1 we'll get deeper and deeper, bring on Chambers and Digne, and conceded a late gutter.
-
Should be 1-1. Very lucky.
-
We are so wasteful. What on earth is Traore doing there!?
-
Need a goal.
-
We need a second to win this I reckon, if it stays at 1 we'll get deeper and deeper, bring on Chambers and Digne, and conceded a late gutter.
And the last thing we want is to have TWO fucking penalty grudges to moan about. We need to finish them off despite the refs.
-
Only ourselves to blame if we don’t win
And VAR
-
Forwards of both sides have been poor.
-
Fantastic from Mings! Enough said!
-
Someone called Bertrand Traore won a raffle to play for Villa. The real one with long hair is still in Turkey.
-
I worry they will bring on Moore and just pound balls into the box and score their equalizer that way.
-
Yes!
-
Goal..........
-
JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ 2-0
-
Ramsey
-
Thank fuck for thatb
-
Yes!
-
Yesss
-
SCOORCHIOOOOOOOOO!
-
A bit of daylight. Well done JJ.
-
Classy finish
-
Well done JJ
-
Ramsey deserved, best game for a long while.
-
Get in. Also nice to see Brooks on the pitch.
-
Eat my goal.
-
Thank fuck for that, let's just see it out calmly now.
-
Not totally confident today. Only bet. Ramsey a score or assist 8/1
Congratulations
-
Finally. Well done, JJ.
-
McGinn has been really good again.
-
McGinn has been really good again.
Motm for me.
-
Now it makes sense, Stuart Attwell is the VAR.
-
How we can miss so many open chances is quite astonishing. Thank god we are two goals up.
-
How's that not go in
-
Oh Mings! 😭
-
Aaaaaaarrrrrrgggghhh brilliant play again. Should be 3
-
How we can miss so many open chances is quite astonishing. Thank god we are two goals up.
We create better chances nowadays which is a good sign
-
Unlucky Mings, great save
-
Another handball not given. VAR must be LeBron James.
-
3-0
-
GOAL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
-
3-0.
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS 3-0
-
Job done
-
Turns out to be a comprehensive win then!!
-
Get in you Villa Boys!
-
Ok Unai. Bring on Jon and Diego
-
3-0
-
Lovin it
-
Fucking get in!
This is a shoeing now. Brilliant.
-
Great stuff Emi
-
Lovely stuff
-
Good. As I said at the start about time we gave these a proper spanking.
No Norwich this year
-
Nice! I forgot we were playing
-
First time we have beaten these since getting back up. About time. Well done Villa.
-
Yep we can stop talking about a goal from Rudy Gestede now.... shudders.....
-
**Watches Risso marching out furious**
;)
-
No hint of offside but they still spent 5 minutes looking for one. Kuntz.
-
I'd like to see Bournemouth stay up.
-
VAR having a good little look to see if they can rule it out for something, tossers.
I think the ref's been OK, but I can't get over that first half pen. At least it hasn't cost us this time, very professional performance.
-
Brilliant.. have a great Saturday, off to get a Chinese tp celebrate
-
SCOORCHIOOOOOOOOO!
No.
-
SCOORCHIOOOOOOOOO!
No.
:D

Bit late with the reply here. Those were only available over the phone. You couldn't get them online.
