Well, it's pretty much the exact team I wanted him to pick, so if we're shit I've got nothing.
-
I like our starting 11 !!!!!
-
Good team. Glad he’s gone with Zaniolo.
Let’s make this one of those “ precessional “
Performances where we do what we should do.
Hodgson not with them either. Hope he’s ok.
-
Couldn't be better, could it? Come on boys..
UTV..
-
ZanilooOoOo
-
Yes, happy with that. Fancy Zaniolo to make a big impact today.
-
A trickle would be appreciated if anyone can help.
-
COME ON YOU VILLA BOYS! The Palace are not safe when the Villa are not happy.
-
I'm sure that Joel Ward and Jeff Schlupp have been playing for Palace for about twenty years.
Half expecing Dougie Freedman or John Salako to pop off the bench for them.
-
A trickle would be appreciated if anyone can help.
Three words come to mind: soccer stream links
Imagine a dot com business made up of those common nouns.
-

That Gareth Southgate seems a nice young man.

Too nice to go into management.

Lacks that ruthless streak that good managers always seem to possess.
Can’t see him going into management, punditry perhaps.
-
Well, it's pretty much the exact team I wanted him to pick, so if we're shit I've got nothing.
Probably our strongest XI at this point as well. Looking forward to seeing Zaniolo play.
-
Wasn't Marschal playing last night in Brighton? I know it would require something calamitous for us to need to use him today, but are we that hard up for players that we can't fill the bench without him.
Edit - great to see Moreno on the bench too!
-
Can't be there today on me holibobs. Just had to endure a bar full of Liverpool "fans". Not a scouse accent anywhere.
So come on Villa give me something to shout about.
-
Come the fuck on, Villa
-
Suggestions Roy Hodgson was taken unwell from Villa Park and won’t be in the dug out for Palace. Let’s hope, if it’s true that it’s not serious and he makes a quick recovery.
-

Blimey, Hughes looks like he needs more iron and vitamin D in his diet.
-
1-2/3 to Palace
-
I actually thought they had gone and signed Kasper Schmeichel.
-
Looking forward to seeing Zaniolo from the start.
-
Suggestions Roy Hodgson was taken unwell from Villa Park and won’t be in the dug out for Palace. Let’s hope, if it’s true that it’s not serious and he makes a quick recovery.
I heard that too. Hope he's OK if true.

Whilst hoping he feels sick come 5pm.

Yep, if true then hope he has a speedy recovery. Always comes across as one of the good guys.

i have a small river if anyone requires it...pm me
-
Those palace tracksuits are fucking awful.
-
Afternoon all! Come on Villa!
-
Come on Villa
-
I’ve found a sluggish trickle.
Come on Villa. FTF. Get a result today.
-
Come on Villa!
FTF 8)
-
Can hear 2 commentaries on Villa TV, very annoying.
-
It’s a real pain
-
Not a lot happening so far. Nice little move with Diaby not taking advantage. Mostly between the two penalty areas. Palace happy to park the bus.
-
Rodders Jnr and I are in Fairbourne, having biked from Dolgellau. It's absolutely pissing down, the badly poured Guinness is £6 a pint and they won't put the game on. Wank.
All best to Woy - he has always seemed one.of the good uns.
Zaniolo to thump three past Johnstone.
-
Palace are making this very boring
-
Dougie really is excellent
-
That's better.
-
McGinn and Eze both booked.
-
Watkins must fucking score there.
-
Fucking hell, Ollie
-
Watkins does a Watkins.
-
To be a top striker you have to score those. FFS Ollie. Awful
-
Oh Ollie!
-
FFS Watkins, fucking useless.
-
Another Ollie miss. Sigh.
-
Seems like all us so far, just can't finish.
-
We will not be tickling the top of the table with a striker that doesn't take chances like that.
-
To be a top striker you have to score those. FFS Ollie. Awful
Yep. Insanely frustrating.
-
Watkins may want to think about signing that contract. I would not pay him huge money if I am another club. He does so many things right except the one thing he is supposed to do.
-
Who died? I couldn’t hear why they’re wearing black armbands.
-
Who died? I couldn’t hear why they’re wearing black armbands.
Several thousand people in Morocco and Libya, sadly.
-
Who died? I couldn’t hear why they’re wearing black armbands.
Is it for the Lybia and Morocco disasters?
-
Zaniolo looks terrifying to play against.
-
I think it's in respect for the victims of the earthquake in Morocco and flooding in Libya.
-
Ayew done for them
-
Zaniolo finding this tough. He’s got a lot to learn about this league
-
Ayew doesn't look happy.
-
Fucking hell he’s big bloke!
-
Ayew doesn't look happy.
😂
When did he ever
-
Cash has constantly got his man one on one but doesn't really have the quality to take him on.
Ironically, Bailey would probably be creating plenty today.
-
Zaniolo finding this tough. He’s got a lot to learn about this league
I thi nk he's having a good game. His problem then was that Watkins was too close to him for too long, needed him to offer a bit of width and create some angles for passes.
-
So who is correct about Zaniolo, Dave or jwarry?
-
Ayew doesn't look happy.
He's had a face like a slapped arse since the day he was born.
-
Random comment, and nothing to do with Pau Torres, but I do miss Tyrone Mings back there.
-
So who is correct about Zaniolo, Dave or jwarry?
Both! He's having a good game, but the final execution of shot and pass will take a moment to acclimatise to. He's getting there though.
-
Fucking hell he’s big bloke!
1.92 m (6' 4" for Brexiters).

Watkins really pissed me off there.
-
Fucking hell he’s big bloke!
He's only 6' 3", the telly makes people look bigger.
-
Really not clicking today, so far.
-
Fucking hell he’s big bloke!
1.92 m (6' 4" for Brexiters).
Same as me
-
Fucking hell Digne. That’s more than one stupid giveaway today
-
Why isn't that yellow card given how soft the McGinn one was?
-
That was the worst free kick that I have ever seen.
-
He always has the face of a bulldog licking piss off a thistle. Ayew that is.
-
Fucking hell he’s big bloke!
1.92 m (6' 4" for Brexiters).
Or for those who were taught the imperial system at school. Isn’t it Brexiteer?
-
Come on Villa, click.
-
We’re too fucking static today. Too predictable
-
I’m not sure if I really rate Kamara.
He’s not McGinn or Doug standard IMO.
-
SCOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
The big Italian looks handy.
-
GOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL
-
Get in!!!
-
Diaby! That's how you take it.
-
Cash is the key - he's getting acres of space but looks afraid to try and get behind, maybe because there's a gap behind him.
-
Goaallllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Diaby is very sexy times
-
Scordyhihihihi
-
Might be offside?
-
Route one. What a super finish
-
That's more like it, get in!
-
Oh yes. That's the way
-
Yessssssssssssssssss! Smooth as silk this fella.
-
THAT is how you finish, Watkins.
-
Lovely finish
-
No goal, offside.
-
Bollocks, fuck and shit.
-
Think he might be off...
-
VAR check
-
Bloody VAR.
-
Excellent first touch, took the keeper out of the game.
-
It does look off
-
He looks off
-
Oh fuck off.
-
Now if only Ollie could do that!
-
Oh well.
-
What a first touch from Diaby, incredible
-
That first touch was Savo like.
-
A toe offside. Wank system.
-
Arse biscuits.
-
What a pass to Diaby and a class finish. He is a real player. Did you see that Watkins? Bollocks to var.
-
Ruinous
-
Wankers.
-
The disallowed goal https://dubz.co/c/647485
-
fucking arsecandles!
-
That really big cheer from the Palace fans 😂
Fuck them. Come on Villa!
-
I really can't overestimate how much I detest VAR.
-
What's frustrating is that for that one we get the lines but for the couple of contentious ones against us they haven't shown them.
-
Shame.
Great pass from Pau.
-
Is a slide too much to ask from Ollie?
-
It was offside though!
-
Why isn't Watkins sliding in there? Fuck sake. Gamble a bit.
-
That was bloody brilliant regardless
-
Cash did a poo in his pants at the wrong second
-
That first touch was Savo like.
Great ball from Torres as well.
-
Cash fluffed a shot and then heads over
-
We might regret these misses
-
Oh look, it's the Villa missing chances.
-
Cash doing a Watkins.
-
We should be 2-3 ahead by now, totally no top of them.
-
We're absolutely F'ing the F'ers.
Watkins having one of his bad games.
-
Hopefully this isn't going to be one of 'those' games. Dominate, miss chances, lose 1-0.
-
Fucking hell he’s big bloke!
1.92 m (6' 4" for Brexiters).
Or for those who were taught the imperial system at school. Isn’t it Brexiteer?
Both Brexiter and Brexiteer are acceptable terms for gullible fucking idiot.
-
Watkins misses 2 sitters, Cash misses 2 sitters. Even without the offside goal we should be 4 up!
-
Zani looks a baller.
-
I think it's going to take a bit of time for the other players to get on Zaniolo's wavelength, because he does unpredictable stuff. When they do, though. Cor. He's fun to watch.
-
That first touch was Savo like.
Great ball from Torres as well.
Torres is a lovely player to watch.
He's still finding his feet of course, but when he's up to speed, we'll have some player.
-
Love how Zaniolo wants to be involved in everything. Certainly not hiding is he?
-
How are Palace ahead of us in the table? We should be a couple of goals up by now.
-
How is it that on my stream 1 commentator knows the name of our left midfielder and the other seems to just be making up words that begin with z every time he gets the ball?
-

-

Is that the same one who has told us Palace have stuck to the game plan 20 times!!
-
Only way to get Zaniolo off the ball is to have more than one player tackle or foul him.
-
5 mins added time.

Yep, and if they have 3-4 touches in our half it's a sign that they're getting some control in the game.
-
We need a few more people to say Watkins is shite. He usually scores when we do that on here!
-

Watkins is indeed shite.
-
Poor first touch from Ollie there
-
Another piss poor touch from Watkins. God when he's off form, he's a bag of shite.
-
Palace are incredibly boring
It won't be long before we pop one in
-
anyone else’s commentators gushing over Palace, who have literally done nothing..?
-
Ollie Watkins is pissing me off to an irrational level today.
-
anyone else’s commentators gushing over Palace, who have literally done nothing..?
Yep, Eze is the 2nd coming by all accounts.
-
Turns out this ref is a prick as well.
-
This ref.
Trying to sanitise everything. Fuck off.
Come on Villa
-
Half time, Frustrating but if we carry on in the second half we should beat these negative feckers.
-
anyone else’s commentators gushing over Palace, who have literally done nothing..?
Yep, Eze is the 2nd coming by all accounts.
And they’re sticking to the game plan!🤣🤣
-
Zaniolo stupid there

Alright potty mouth!
It's allowed on here, in moderation, so there is no need to call me names.
-
That was disconcertingly poor. We really, really need better than Watkins.
-
Lack of composure in the final third. Diaby took his goal well, shame he was offside.
-
anyone else’s commentators gushing over Palace, who have literally done nothing..?
Yep, Eze is the 2nd coming by all accounts.
And they’re sticking to the game plan!🤣🤣
“Eze and Eduoard dazzling on the other end..” :o

Don't understand how that isn't a penalty. I mean, I literally understand how. But it just seems strange to me that the rules have been written in such a way that this is where we've ended up.
-
Zaniolo stupid there
It was. But what happened to a talking to from the ref. Players do that shit all the time. Maybe not as aggressively. But when chopping challenges escapes yellow and reds, those or taking your shirt off are pathetic reasons to give a yellow.
-

Had his back to the ball as it came in so couldn’t really do much about it as it was fired in from pretty close range. I’d have been pissed off had it been given against us.

I know but the players all know you can't do it now, daft rule or not.
-
If we're really ever going to break the glass ceiling, we need a centre forward who can take most of the chances he gets and a good chunk of the half chances. We have a cracking player in Watkins, but when he's on these runs, he isn't quite good enough for where we say we want to go.
Same for Cash.
And I like both players a lot.
We miss too many chances in periods of the game that we are on top.

Yeah it's never a pen. The problem is you'll see another one next weekend, think 'never a pen' and then it will be one.
-
Archer would have scored at least one of the chances Watkins has missed.

I get it. Had he booted the ball into Aston Park that’s one thing. He was on the touchline.

This ref is a joke. How on earth he didn't book Dacoure when he scythes down Dougie (I think) from behind is beyond bad. He had a perfect view. Complete numpty.

We miss too many chances in periods of the game that we are on top.
It's not really Cash's job to score goals though. When he does it's an added bonus, but he's got as many goals as you'd hope for from a right back already this season. Watkins is absolutely miles off it at the moment, and is nowhere near good enough playing like this.
-
Watkins beyond garbage. Zaniolo doing well. Cash should have scored one of his chances.
This pedestrian passing at the back is mind-numbingly boring. Palace are there for the taking and we really should be in front.
The ref is poor.

I get all that, it's not an inconsiderable argument, but it's just...it's a shot at goal that he blocked with his hand, you know?

Yep. He’s playing to the level of a solid PL back up striker option at the moment.

Oh yeah agree. With Cash it's more the fact he isn't quite good enough going forward in this system.
-
Particularly when Ramsey is back I wouldn't mind seeing Zaniolo and Diaby as the 2 up front.

If you’re arguing that the penalty should have been awarded because it would have been for us, I completely agree.
-
We’ve been much the better team but haven’t taken our chances. 🤷🏼♂️ bit more urgency I think will get the breakthrough.

I mean, that goes without saying!
-

I would love to see this.
-
I thought we were much better unlucky on the marginal offside and Ollie and cash both missed 2 good chances each. Watkins is a worry when he’s off form
Diaby showed the level of player we need he took his goal well
Ziniolo looked good too - we have better players but worry those chances come back to haunt us
-
Good first half, the goals will surely come. Palace are dog shit.
-
Would love Eze in a Villa shirt, everything goes through him. Watkins first touch is woeful.
-
Battering them 0-0
-
We need to get that first goal pretty early in the 2nd. Do that and we will win by a few. Palace came for a point and if they open up looking for an equalizer we will take advantage.
-
Their kit looks like it could be our away kit.
-
Fucks sake. 0-1. Emi slips.
-
What is it now, 1 in 12 games for Watkins? He needs a goal second half but he and Ziniolo need to define their space as both are working the left channel.
I'm a bit disappointed with Dougie and Kamara. Both doing okay but not at the levels we've come to expect. Playing a front three has pushed them both back defensively.
Impressed with Konsa and SJM.
-
Well, this went to shit rather quickly.
-
You’ve got to be kidding.
-
Fuck sake Villa
-
Jesus Christ, Villa.
-
Isn’t that offside?
-
Oh fuck off
-
We are so Villa at times.
-
Boooooo
-
Oh for fucking hells sake. Totally pathetic.
-
Torres is weak as piss, just not cut out for this legue I'm afraid, terrible. Can we have the old Martinez back please?
-
Crap at the back there.
-
Isn’t that offside?
no, behind the ball.
-
Come on Villa
-
Fuuuuckinnnnnn'elll!
-
WAKE UP
-
Their goal https://twitter.com/walkerkesball/status/1703063669402185929
-
We are a fucking mess at the back. Fucking idiot Cash
-
Pau awful then.
-
Does Olsen have a better record than Martinez this season?
-
Fecking Torres. So slow.
-
Fuck me Konsa, did Newcastle teach him nothing?
-
Started playing like absolute chumps.
-
We are becoming ridiculously sloppy at the moment.
-
Just giving the ball away all over the pitch now
-
Get a grip. We look shell shocked
-
Torres has been a disaster, get Chambers on for him.
-
Konsa lucky there. As as Cash.
-
That was an awful goal to concede and it will now take is time to get back up to speed
-
Just wake the fuck up. All those missed chances.
They were always going to be regretted. We cannot afford to miss that many chances in a game.
Piss poor
-
We'll see what we're made of now.
-
We'll see what we're made of now.
We don’t do coming back to win very well
-
Pass the fucking ball forward.
-
Digne's been total shit since the window closed. Funny that.
-
Changes coming
-
This displeases me.
-
We are going to lose this, pretty poor.
-
Digne's been total shit since the window closed. Funny that.
Was just thinking that! I'm sure it's a coincidence but it is uncanny.
-
Digne's been total shit since the window closed. Funny that.
So has McGinn, so has Watkins, so has Martinez.....
-
Changes coming
Kamara has been non existing today. Get him off for Tielemans. Watkins off for Duran.
-
Cmon Villa!!!!!!
-
Changes coming
Kamara has been non existing today. Get him off for Tielemans. Watkins off for Duran.
I think Kamara needs a spell on the bench, give Tielemans a run.
-

Yep need Tielemans
-
Shame we can’t change the whole 11
-
Torres seems to have gone to the Robin Olsen "shaking like a shitting puppy" school of self confidence.
-
Zaniolo and Kamara off for Bailey and Tielemans
-
Zaniolo off which I understand, but really Ollie is lucky to be on the pitch.
-
Amazingly, I'm genuinely pleased to see Bailey come on. He'll get some joy.
-
They’re just going to pick us off here.
-
Bailey for Zani. Bonkers
-
We keep missing chances and get punished. That's the level we play at it just doesn't seem to get through to some of our players.
-
Zaniolo off which I understand, but really Ollie is lucky to be on the pitch.
By default presumably, as we don't have anyone to replace him...
-
Digne's been total shit since the window closed. Funny that.
So has McGinn, so has Watkins, so has Martinez.....
McGinn has been more than decent today. One poor pass so far.
-
Kamara has been awful much of this season so far.
Torres is a weird one, looks so cultured on the ball, bringing it out from the back, but runs like he's got clogs on.
-
Zaniolo off which I understand, but really Ollie is lucky to be on the pitch.
That's what happens when you only have 1 striker I'm afraid.
-
Amazingly, I'm genuinely pleased to see Bailey come on. He'll get some joy.
Or fall over a lot then hurt his back.

He's done next to nothing.
-
Zaniolo off which I understand, but really Ollie is lucky to be on the pitch.
That's what happens when you only have 1 striker I'm afraid.
I'm afraid that is correct. It's looking a decidedly dodgy outcome that.
-
That was a superb long pass by Bailey to Watkins. Wish Bailey shot himself though.

Harsh
-
We’re not scoring here. We just look a bit disjointed.
-
That was a superb long pass by Bailey to Watkins. Wish Bailey shot himself though.
Bit harsh, also think of the trauma to the kids at the ground seeing that happen.
-
This team and manager have no guts whatsoever. Once they go behind they just give up. Pathetic
-

Harsh
Savage.
-
Wish Bailey shot himself though.
Blimey, he's not that bad!
-
Digne's been total shit since the window closed. Funny that.

Ha! He's done a lot more than Dougie or Kamara.

A very low bar.
-
I think incessant injuries have forced us to have to try and adapt on the hoof tbh.
-
Martinez would've been booked by now if doing what Johnstone is doing.
-
I'm normally pretty optimistic when it comes to Villa but today feels like a game we are destined to lose
-
Torres can't half pick a pass.
-
This is a very frustrating game. The most Villa thing in a long time… well about 3 weeks
-
Please Villa score and shit this commentating twat up!
-
We are so average. Tsk.
-
Losing to top teams is bad enough.
But these are totally shite.
-
Wish Bailey shot himself though.
Blimey, he's not that bad!
I probably should have said I wish Bailey had shot Watkins. I don’t think that would have been as harsh. Of course I meant wish Diaby had taken the shot
-
In other news this is fucking shit
-
Wish Bailey shot himself though.
Blimey, he's not that bad!
I probably should have said I wish Bailey had shot Watkins. I don’t think that would have been as harsh.
They can take 10 paces each and then try. I suspect they'd both miss.
-
If Watkins had a first touch he’d be a footballer.
-
Duran coming on soon.
-
Bloody hell Luiz, that was awful.
-
Get Duran and Moreno on
-
Bailey's in the right back position all the time. He should be where Cash was in the first half.
FFS, this is total crap.
-
We just look utterly clueless. Being out played by a Hodgson side, without Hodgson actually being in the ground.
-
Feels like we're losing the midfield.
-
McGinn has been terrible
-
McGinn off, Duran on.
-
You just cant miss chances like we have today.
I will say it again, Watkins is not what we should be building on.
Maybe stick Zaniolo up front?
He has all the physical attributes needed to play up top.
-
Can’t believe we’re about to piss this away.
-
Commentator sucking Palace off here.
-
Feels like we're losing the midfield.
Not for the first time this season.
-
Our defending is absolutely dire
-
I've only just started watching. Have we been this shit all game?
-
Feels like we're losing the midfield.
The game.
-
This is just like so many Villa games dominate the game concede and lose any kind of idea of what to do. We’ve seen it so many times.
-
The defending from that corner was criminal. What do we do in training all week?
-
This is an absolute shambles. Would have favored Unai to get a response after Liverpool and with two weeks to train.
-
Duran shot saved.
-
We can kiss goodbye by to top six this season.
-
I've only just started watching. Have we been this shit all game?
No, should've bene 2 or 3 up at half time.
-
Factory of Sadness
-
The defending from that corner was criminal. What do we do in training all week?
Smile for the cameras.
-
Good work by Bailey then.
-
Very lucky not to concede from that corner. No discernible marking going on.
-
Duran with a decent shot
-
I've only just started watching. Have we been this shit all game?
Not really, should have scored a few in the first but you know... Watkins (and Cash but he's not there for goals).
-
We can kiss goodbye by to top six this season.
I don’t think we ever said hello.
-
We can kiss goodbye by to top six this season.
We were pretty much bottom 3 when Emery arrived in November. It ain’t that bad.
-
I've only just started watching. Have we been this shit all game?
No, should've bene 2 or 3 up at half time.
Agreed. Not sure we were great, mind, but Palace had nothing.
Defensively we are just appallingly weak. Any little pressure and we come undone.
-
We’ll be lucky to get a draw here
-
Nope. Not today. We are starting to look desperate right now. We don’t do chasing games well.
-
How did we not score ffs
-
It’s only a side that’s 2nd in their league next in front of a psychopathic crowd.
-
Fucking hell. So close
-
How did that not go in.
-
There’s going to be 15 min of time added on at this rate
-
We couldn’t finish a wank
-
Watkins hit the post you say? Wow.
-
I can't believe we haven't scored there!?!
-
Nothing is going for us today, even their goal was down to a bad slip for emi.
-
Palace players - it all gets stuck on at the end you know.
-
"Ollie Watkins just cannot get the goal today" - You haven't watched us much, have you mate?
-
Get him off
-
What is that is this all about really. It's nonsense
-
How bad has Digne looked??? Only watched second half, but it's enough....
-
Emi saves us again
-
Watkins is shite
-
Huge save, Emi
-
How bad has Digne looked??? Only watched second half, but it's enough....
Half as bad as Cash. Neither can play the wing back role as neither can cross a ball.
-
I think I can see why Tielemans hasn't been starting games.
-
What is that is this all about really. It's nonsense
??
-
What the fuck was that from Torres?
-
I'd like to see a bit more from Diaby, if I'm being honest.
-
What the fuck was that from Torres?
Christ knows, awful play.
-
This is absolutely fucking shit. Certainly the worst half I can recall under Emery.
-
We look defeated :-\
-
What is that is this all about really. It's nonsense
??
Ha! I meant the situation with the goalkeeper (having cramp and holding the game up by several minutes). Badly typed!
It turns out I was typing nonsense.
-
Hopeful long cross field punts now. Or hopeless.
-
Torres can play a lovely pass, but to be honest so can McGinn, and he isn't a very good centre half either.
-
We look defeated :-\
We’ve looked like that since they scored
-
Have our players had their drinks spiked or something?
-
I hate Palace. Always shit matches against these arseholes.
-
We’ve had 5 league performances now.
As it stands, we’ve won 2 convincingly, lost 2 convincingly and feathered and fluffed our way to another defeat too
It’s not great form is it really?
-
We look done for. Run out of legitimate ideas as Palace drop deeper and deeper.
-
Have our players had their drinks spiked or something?
Not sure what's happened to Unai since last season. We look unprepared at times this season.
-
This is absolutely dire, we can't string two passes together.
-
We seem to have run out of ideas.
-
I’ve given up and dived into the Kazakh Saperavi wine.
Much more bite than Villa at least.
-
We'd have been better off not signing anyone this summer. We looked miles better than this last season.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-

It’s marginally better than the form West Ham displayed last year. Struggled for consistency in the league and domestic cups as they did well in the UECL.
-
We seem to have run out of ideas.
I meant to say we look likely to score any second.
-
Great goal by the young one.
-
It’s the lucky Kazakh wine!!!!
-
WOAAAHHHHHH
-
What a fucking goal
-
Thank fuck for that!
-
Ok, we have a new number 9
-
What a hit
-
Whoa!!!
-
Oh fucking yes
-
Fuck me! Jhonnnnn! What a strike.
-
The ball is dead after that, what a fucking hit!
-
Now that is magnificent.
-
Holy fuck
Holy fuck
What a goal!!!
-
oh look a 3rd goal of the season for a striker who some on here don't think exists.
-
There’s at least 10 min left to play
-
But Archer…..
-
Gwt innnn, what a finish!
-
Thought it was going to be one of those incredibly frustrating games, where you don't deserve to lose. But maybe we can get something from the game.
-
Duran over Watkins. It has to be.
-
Thank the Lord for that!
-
Let's hope the incoming injury time fucks Palace.
-
Very Collymore that finish.
-
Anyone 'beating the traffic'?
-
I've just woken everyone up celebrating that one.
Fuck me. What a strike.
-
9 mins added
-
Now that is magnificent.
Benteke-esque.
-
The goal
https://twitter.com/AlanRodri_99/status/1703073982503682398
-
Great goal. He seems hungry like a Wolf
-
It would have been nice for that new Emery song to make an appearance. We really only have one song.
-
Let's hope the incoming injury time fucks Palace.
I hope so, mate.
What an awful way to try to play a football match.
-
That is some finish, even ‘Game Plan’ was impressed!
-
oh look a 3rd goal of the season for a striker who some on here don't think exists.
Absolutely this.....
-
Rarely see Emery look this frustrated or pissed off at the refs or assistants.
-
I hope Ger Regan's starfish held tension when Duràn twatted that in. ;-)
-
Only 9 mins?!?
-
Penalty!!!!!! For us
-
Amazing strike from Duran. Really good.
-
Only 9 minutes?
God knows how they work out the time added on. Fuck them.
Come on Villa
-
I hope Ger Regan's starfish held tension when Duràn twatted that in. ;-)
:D
-
VAR check, of course.
-
Duran simply has to start over Watkins.
I fear that we could play for 10 games and Watkins would never finish that goal.
3 goals now… including some great finishes. He needs a run out
-
Penno??
-
And off to the screen.
-
Archer > Duran > Watkins ?
-
It’s going to be denied isn’t it?
-
And off to the screen.
Which means it will likely gets overturned
-
Duran simply has to start over Watkins.
I fear that we could play for 10 games and Watkins would never finish that goal.

I'm still not convinced he can play a full game but it's getting more and more difficult to see why we shouldn't get what we can out of him at the start of a match instead of at the end.
-
Fuck off, he clearly takes Watkins first.
-
That was man first. Definite pen.
-
If this is Harry Kane there is no review and it’s given
-
The biased BBC London radio, thinks it should be a pen
-
Fuck off, he clearly takes Watkins first.
He gets the ball.
But only after he has smashed Watkins into next week.
-
Give the fucking penalty FFS
-
BBC all saying definite penalty.
-
If it takes this long it can't be an obvious error.
-
Is this clear and obvious..?
-
Penalty is given,
-
Come on Villa!!!
-
Fuck sake. They are looking for ways to deny it
-
Doug to take it
-
That has to be a first!
-
And the twat commentator says he got a good chunk of the ball, where???
-
Watch Luiz blast it into Moor Street station
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Oh Dougie… come on.
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
-
Yesssss!
-
That was nerve wracking.
-
Dougie!
-
Get the fuck in!!!
-
Trouble with this side is they can't come from behind!
-
Lucky buggers
-
Get in!
And to be fair, well done ref!
-
Ollie off for the Donck.
-
Get a third now Villa. Don’t fucking drop deep
-
FUCKING YESSSSSSSSSIJDSGLISDVISVDIHSVDK
-
Yeahhhhhhhh
-
Not sure why that was checked for so long, even if he got a toenail to the ball he clearly went through Watkins to get to it.
-
Ahem, sorry. Loved that.
-
DOUGIE!!!!!!
-
Watch all this injury time fuck us now
-
Yeeeahhhk peoffkamvmsmff
I just had a sip of that Kazakh wine in the run up to the penalty too.
It’s lucky! I tell thee’
-
How the fuck are we ahead
-
He takes a good penalty, does Dougie.
Never in doubt.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Hallelujah!
-
1-0 down after 88 mins to 3-1 up.
-
This team and manager have no guts whatsoever. Once they go behind they just give up. Pathetic
Stick that up your bollocks.
-
Bailey 3-1
-
How the fuck are we ahead
because we've been easily the better team over the 90minutes.
-
How the fuck are we ahead
Should have been out of sight by half time.
-
Yesssss!!!!!!!!!!
-
This team and manager have no guts whatsoever. Once they go behind they just give up. Pathetic
Hello.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I like your work
-
We're playing like Liverpool now!
-
VILLA AT THE DISCO
-
Thanks for all the extra time Palace
-
Leonnnnnnn!
-
My word. Up the Fucking Villa!
-
Everyone is well awake in my household now.
In laws are visiting, also. I've just jumped on their bed
Happy days. They fucking love the Villa
-
How the fuck are we ahead
Should have been out of sight by half time.
That’s what I mean. Gone from barn door to 3-1
-
Oh my god. Never never never again!!!!
-
This team and manager have no guts whatsoever. Once they go behind they just give up. Pathetic
Stick that up your bollocks.
A few other of the toxic ones can shove it up their bollocks and all.
-
Never in doubt.......
-
HAHAH! YEEEEESSSSSS GET IN
-
Well that wouldn't have happened 12 months ago.
-
Fucking hell!
-
Emery looks seriously pissed off. Lol.
-
Fanastic! That's as bad as we've played under Unai this second half, but the spirit at the end was brilliant.
-
Karma for the negative twats from Croydon.
-
Emery looks seriously pissed off. Lol.
I think despite the scoreline words are going to be had.
-
Duran deserves a start
-
Battered them. Fuck off Palace
-
What an un villa way to win a game. Amazing
-
Fair to say that Bailey changed the game when he came on?
-
I stepped out for a bit after 85 mins. Did I miss anything?
-
We were the better side all first half. We struggled to chase the game after they scored. We deserve to win, just, on the balance of play.!
-
Fair to say that Bailey changed the game when he came on?
No
-
Poor old Woy…..that ain’t gonna make him feel any better!
Seriously though, get well soon sir.
-
Fair to say that Bailey changed the game when he came on?
He’s a very direct player. We needed him today
-
I was feeling properly pissed off, rowing with the wife, flight delayed by half an hour and thinking fortress VP was a myth. Get in the Villa!
-
I stepped out for a bit after 85 mins. Did I miss anything?
Randy Lerner finally sold us. Not much else
-
Fair to say that Bailey changed the game when he came on?
I’ve just said the exact same thing.
-
Emery looks seriously pissed off. Lol.
I think despite the scoreline words are going to be had.
Mrs HV just said I bet he doesn’t start his team talks with “Good Ebening “
-
Fair to say that Bailey changed the game when he came on?
He’s a very direct player. We needed him today
Seems we have more than one player capable of playing brilliantly or absolutely shit on any given day. And it seems we have no way of knowing who it will be and when. The joys of football.
-
Full time, finally.
-
Thank goodness
-
Fair to say that Bailey changed the game when he came on?
I’ve just said the exact same thing.
It is great if he did. Home against also fans should be his forte
-
Fair to say that Bailey changed the game when he came on?
Duran for me But Bailey did do well.
-
We were the better side all first half. We struggled to chase the game after they scored. We deserve to win, just, on the balance of play.!
67% possession and 16 shots to their 6. We had a 20minute spell in the 2nd half where we couldn't get going again but we've been the better team for at least 2/3rds of the game.
-
Thank goodness, thought we were going to miss the plane to Warsaw...
-
What a fucking relief... phew..
-
Great result in the end, but really poor performance
-
Fair to say that Bailey changed the game when he came on?
I’ve just said the exact same thing.
Guys moan about Bailey, but we play better with him in the team
-
Emery looks seriously pissed off. Lol.
I think despite the scoreline words are going to be had.
Mrs HV just said I bet he doesn’t start his team talks with “Good Ebening “
No, He because he has improved his language skills and can pronounce the [v] sound in 'evening' correctly.
