Mings in. Great side, defensive but if we take our chances we can win this.
-
I would have gone McGinn for Marco
-
Go to war for the ball then give it to the artists. Come on you weekendicidal maniacs.
-
I would have gone McGinn for Marco
Yep, without Tielemans, Asensio needs to step up as creator.

I know in the big scheme of things this is a minor thing but I despise that font they use, looks like it's all squashed together. They use it for the England teams too. I think it's horrible and doesn't make it easy to read.
Rant over.
-
Got to win - do it.
-
Tim will be so happy.
-
Terrible selection by Emery. Pau should have started instead of Tyrone and John is need on the pitch right from the start. This is going to be another Crystal Palace I am afraid.
-
Can’t see why we’d leave McGinn out.
-
It could be as simple as McGinn isn't fit enough to start.
-
I would have gone McGinn for Marco
Yep, without Tielemans, Asensio needs to step up as creator.
I'm more concerned we get stuck in second gear without McGinn. Let's see who are the leaders in this side other than Mings, it's the midfield battle we need to win first.
-
We're stacked now, good players are always going to be left out. Onana did well when he came on last week, time for him to shine from the start. If not, McGinn can barge Onana's skinny arse out of the way with his phat one.
-
I can see McGinn replacing Kamara after 20 mins.
-
I can see McGinn replacing Kamara after 20 mins.
20 minutes?
-
I can see McGinn replacing Kamara after 20 mins.
20 minutes?
Yes, we'll be 2-0 down then by then apparently.
-
Can Kepa not become the reincarnation of Zoff today as he was at Villa Park and be the Chelsea version.
-
Really can not understand that selection.
-
I like the starting 11, we'll twat them.
-
Is Rogers playing on the right again then?
-
Im surprised Torres and in particular McGinn aren’t starting. Its not a terrible selection though. We’ll see in a bit I suppose
-
Not sure Asencio deserves to be playing.
-
Not sure Asencio deserves to be playing.
No, I’d have played Asensio instead.
-
Citeh held at Saints! Ha...what a bunch of fucking losers!!
-
Crazy decision to leave McGinn out!
-
A high pressing team like these I would of thought required the ball playing Torres. Conversely they are a physical team up top so Mings can combat it. I suppose we have to trust Emery.
I would of had Rogers off Watkins, McGinn on the right, with bringing Asensio on later if needed.
Whatever team is picked we have enough. We need to take the chances when they come (yes you Ollie)
Utv 0-2
-
Crazy decision to leave McGinn out!
We don't need him now that Man City have given-up on top five.
-
Id have played the scottish bloke with the big arse and kept Marco on the bench and might have started Maatsen who has been excellent .
Onana and Mings happy enough , Rogers on the right ? not again .
-
unai just said Europe Europe Europe
He is happy enough.
-
Kill 'em all!
-
Just please win Villa.
-
I'm nervous
-
Plenty of height in the side with Mings and Onana. Workmanlike team selected. Let's see what happens.
-
As am I - I worry about lack of pace.
-
I'm nervous
And me!
-
I thought Unai would start McGinn alongside Kamara to be honest.
-
I'm nervous
And me!
I'm always nervous. Shows we care!!
-
Thoughts on Onana's manbun?
-
Thoughts on Onana's manbun?
Don't like it
-
bloody alan Smith zzzzzzz
-
Ok, that was strange...
-
Matty wtf...
-
Oh Christ it’s Attwell.
-
I have spoken to one player from both of these sides. Helping both with a broken down Urus
-
Poor by Onana
-
onana what was that
-
Same tactics by Bournemouth as Palace.
-
Fucking drums. Small time.
-
Jesus Tyrone.
-
You can already see we're missing Tielemans.
-
pushes into TY and ends up on the deck lol
-
Fucking drums. Small time.
Unless it's Rio Carnaval.
-
Alan smith trying to get Mings sent off. Nauseating nasal wanker. Can't stand him, wish he wouldn't cover our games.
-
Super Tommy Elphick
-
Not too much wrong with that. It wasn't a dig with the elbow. Well refereed and managed
-
fuck off Alfred
-
If we win by 15 we'll go 4th. It will be very disappointing if we don't.
-
Kepa has a hurty hand.
-
what's the song the villa fans are singing?
-
Alan smith trying to get Mings sent off. Nauseating nasal wanker. Can't stand him, wish he wouldn't cover our games.
Smith is completely out of touch with the modern game. Time to be put out to grass.
-
Their keeper is a basque on loan from Chelsea
Emi replacement if he goes?
-
Been more stoppages than football so far.
-
Played Onana.
-
onana great not sure on Ollies control
-
Nothing sticking with Ollie, at all.
-
Watkins is so frustrating sometimes
-
thats what you want to see from onana, driving runs
-
onana great not sure on Ollies control
Came at him pretty quick, but Ramsey quickly onto the spillage
-
thats what you want to see from onana, driving runs
Isn't that what Fred Flinstone does?
-
These stoppages
-
onana is getting into it with those Viera runs
-
If you are going to run at speed into the back of people
-
Not a bad start from the boys, but Asensio’s form has fallen off a cliff. Totally anonymous
-
Have Asencio or Rogers touched the ball yet ?
-
Ramsey has been superb so far
-
Have Asencio or Rogers touched the ball yet ?
Forgot either were even playing
-
Has McGinn come on for Kamara yet?
-
Not a bad start from the boys, but Asensio’s form has fallen off a cliff. Totally anonymous
forgot he was playing.
-
Why did Emi choose to switch ends?
Sun will be directly in his eyes second half.
-
Not good to allow that cross in.
-
At least we didn't concede from the first effort on target.
-
Kill 'em all!
Prefer ride the lightning myself
-
They have had their first chance on target. So won't be adding to that record.
-
We aren't winning the centre of the park. Watkins seems isolated too.
-
They have had their first chance on target. So won't be adding to that record.
wasnt it Mings
-
Nice run by Asensio but nobody at there to support him on the left.
-
Given how we're set up, going for long balls behind them, Asensio in the starting lineup is even more of a headscratcher. Game is bypassing him.
-
Game is crying out for McGinn
-
no one to support marco there
-
ffs asencio had 5 red shirts surrounding him and no easy option to a team mate!
-
Scott booked.
-
Onana playing well so far.
-
Not sure I like this set up , maybe the plan is to keep it 0-0 and go for it last 30 mins
-
Why did Emi choose to switch ends?
Sun will be directly in his eyes second half.
So it’s in their goalie’s eyes now.
-
Ollie has been incredibly poor
-
Nice play there Onana
-
Asensio booked.
-
Onana is doing pretty good.
-
Onana is doing well.
-
Stupid yellow
-
Played Ty.
-
On the break why don't we just jog out
-
Ascensio is having a mare
-
Terrible ball back in by Kamara.
-
Harsh yellow.
-
Harsh yellow.
Not really they’re breaking away.
-
Harsh yellow.
Caught the bottom his foot in fairness and stopped a break.
-
Asensio has reverted to looking like a lightweight player from La Liga who lacks the pace or strength to compete in the Premier League.
A very expensive Carles Gil.
-
Kill 'em all!
Prefer ride the lightning myself
Ride the Lightning was like Piece of Mind for me. It's got some great songs, but I never gave it the credit it deserved. I appreciate it a lot more now.
-
I take it back. Asensio growing into the game, Rogers totally off it though
-
Onana and JJ are running the show for Villa right now. Asensio off at h/t for SJM
-
rogers so poor
-
We are so utterly, utterly disjointed up front.
Ollie making bad decisions, no overlapping runs from the full backs
-
Morgan Rodgers just isn’t a right sided midfield player. McGinn for Asensio and Rodgers through the middle would be my first change.
-
Summer holidays can't come soon enough for Rogers
-
Rogers and Asensio just doesn't seem to be working.
-
Summer holidays can't come soon enough for Rogers
You think that’s it?
-
I wish he'd swap Rogers and Asensio's positions.
-
Kill 'em all!
Prefer ride the lightning myself
Ride the Lightning was like Piece of Mind for me. It's got some great songs, but I never gave it the credit it deserved. I appreciate it a lot more now.
Piece of mind is one of those that I feel the same about. Heard it when life was shit so isn’t my go to then listen to it again and wow! Anyway, now for something different….. the game. The game!
-
Too sloppy on the ball.
-
Summer holidays can't come soon enough for Rogers
You think that’s it?
Think he needs a rest is what I meant
-
It's like a hot potato
-
It’s all quite aimless. Don’t look like scoring.
-
We look poor in the final third at the moment, not making the magic happen.
-
Asensio has had enough and playing for a red.
-
Onana is doing pretty good.
I am convinced now with all the praise so far on here he’s going to score an own goal🙁
-
Rogers playing like he’s handed his notice in
-
Onana is doing pretty good.
I am convinced now with all the praise so far on here he’s going to score an own goal🙁
Or Rogers will score a worldie.
-
I know Emery likes to use games to try things. But this isn't the moment to do that. The midfield is all over the place right now. Get players in their strongest positions and we might be able to win the battle in the middle.
-
How is Semenyo not booked.
-
I wish he'd swap Rogers and Asensio's positions.
I think that's the biggest problem. Asensio obviously doesn't want to play from the right but isn't really getting into the game. As it stands I would have Rogers central and Malen on the right.
-
I wish Alan Smith would just shut the fuck up.
-
That should be a yellow for Semenio. If it’s a foul then he’s done the same thing as Asensio and stopped our breakaway.
-
That's yellow surely?
-
Don’t understand how Asensio gets a yellow and that one doesn’t.
-
How is Semenyo not booked.
Seems because he got something on the ball
-
This is like an end of season on the beach game.
-
That's yellow surely?
It should have been, and don't call me Shirley.
-
Alan smith and his passive aggressive Villa commentary.
-
How is Semenyo not booked.
Seems because he got something on the ball
If he got the ball first surely it wouldn’t be foul.
-
Can’t see us winning here, we’re very aimless and listless at the moment.
-
Atwell at it again.
-
you just knew the ref would blow up for them
-
you just knew the ref would blow up for them
Seems a bit extreme.
-
Onana is doing pretty good.
I am convinced now with all the praise so far on here he’s going to score an own goal🙁
Or Rogers will score a worldie.
needs to get hold of the ball , the least touches by anyplayer on the pitch.
-
We're playing like we don't believe we can get top 5
-
This is like an end of season on the beach game.
We don't seem to have worked on creating openings in training this week, just defensive formation.
-
Fucking about. Fucking about in midfield.
Kamara gets robbed and they get a chance.
We really need to wake the fuck up
-
I don't like this defending via faceplant and hoping the ref blows a whistle.
-
We're playing like we don't believe we can get top 5
Playing like we aren’t bothered about getting top 5.
-
Our midfield isn’t coordinated in the slightest. Tielemans missing is so telling.
-
Kamara is really off it at the moment.
-
Asensio is a walking red card.
-
It doesn't feel like there is any intensity in this game, only from our fans.
It has the feel of a pre season friendly.
-
Playing shit.
-
This is a tough watch
-
Get McGinn on at HT
-
Off the post from Asensio!
-
Close.
-
Bailey for Asensio at half time I think, get Rogers in the middle. We need McGinn too.
-
Asensio off the post. Unlucky
-
Should’ve scored!
-
Off the post from Asensio!
Should have passed to Ramsey
-
That was close!
Yep: SJM on ASAP FFS!
That's enough abbreviations for now...
-
Unlucky Marco.
-
Fuck, that was close. We've still been the better side, despite not being great.
-
Watkins shite too. Quite a few balls played to him which an in form Ollie would get to I feel. And that hospital pass then…. FFS!
-
6 added mins
-
What the fuck is wrong with rogers ?
-
6 minutes! ::)
-
Onana why did you just stop there?
-
rogers is a liability I reckon there , making me nervous
-
Has Watkins already checked out
-
What the fuck is wrong with rogers ?
Nothing. He’s not a right sided midfield player
-
Kepa is Yashin, again.
-
Oh just Fcuk off.
-
Close there.
-
Where has +6 come from
-
Fuck me!!!! How close Kamara
-
Nothing from us until the stroke of half time.
-
Great football there
-
ffs
-
Where has +6 come from
The endless stoppages would be my guess.
-
That's better, Villa!
-
Kepa is Yashin, again.
Every fucking time against us
-
Where has +6 come from
Ref has blown every two minutes.
-
Rogers for Bailey, Malen for Watkins.
*save McGinn for when midfield need refreshing
-
FFS one of them should of scored
-
should have scored
-
The return of Lev Yashin
-
Ohhh close!
I'd put SJM on for Asensio and Malen for Rogers.
-
Argh! Should have scored!!!
-
Useless gits, head it away from the keeper. Away.
-
asensio has come alive too
-
Oh God! Asensio living dangerously!
-
Useless gits, head it away from the keeper. Away.
It was a brilliant save.
-
Bournemouth are dirty ******.
-
Game resembles a relegation battle. Bournemouth dropping to the ground every ten seconds and we're far too negativity again.
-
Martinez gets a stupid booking.
-
Useless gits, head it away from the keeper. Away.
Probably wouldn't have been on target then.
-
Cheating ****** Bournemouth
-
HT is coming at the wrong time for us.
-
Why is Emi booked? He’s the captain. He should be allowed to speak to the ref and get involved.
-
What was the point of all that argy bargy? Especially from Emi. We got the free kick and the yellow
-
SCOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
OLLIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
-
We've played alright.
Just need some more width when on the break. That was a wonderful cross from Digne.
-
Yeeeeeeesssssssssss
-
Fuck off Gabby!
-
YESSSSS
45+5
Who moaned about 6 mins?
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS OLLIE
CONGRATS SON
-
Get in.
-
AFC Dark Arts , wankers .
-
Why did he book Emi? He's the captain FFS, he's allowed to approach the referee.
-
Yesssss!
-
Rogers for Bailey, Malen for Watkins.
*save McGinn for when midfield need refreshing
What do I know! Commentators curse! 😂
-
Ollie's broken the record at last!
Congratulations! XXX
Had me worried then, that off-side call..
-
Ollie you beaut!
-
wE nEeD bEtTeR
-
Why did he book Emi? He's the captain FFS, he's allowed to approach the referee.
Atwell?
-
Get in
-
Can’t stop us ref.
-
YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
get the fuck in
-
Get in
-
2 worse players do it lol
-
Fucking yes! Congratulations Ollie.
-
Great tackle by Matty Cash to win the ball back.
-
Well taken Ollie
-
Yessd
-
Ollie needs to go.
-
Delighted for Ollie breaking Gabby’s record
-
when he has no time to think , he scores
-
lovely glancing finish from Watkins
-
Why did he book Emi? He's the captain FFS, he's allowed to approach the referee.
Yep exactly, seems to have booked him for running so far but forgot that he's out captain, At well is a fucking moron.
-
Great tackle by Matty Cash to win the ball back.
Brilliant
-
HT. Never in doubt, majestic half.
-
Top stuff from Cash and
Asensio Rogers to make that.
-
Great finish. Now just win the game, get a second quick.
-
https://x.com/SkySportsPL/status/1921254555473326254
Doesn't have a replay but just enough time for Alan Smith to be critical of the finish.
-
Watkins shite too. Quite a few balls played to him which an in form Ollie would get to I feel. And that hospital pass then…. FFS!
He's terrible
-
I'd still hook Asensio despite him improving, no point risking a red.
-
Great tackle by Matty Cash to win the ball back.
Good shout, effectively won us that goal , was a lovely cross and deft finish
-
Congratulations, Ollie. Gabby binned off to being what he was: an expensive waste of space in the worst Villa team of the twenty-first century.
-
Comfortable first half and rightly in front. Not sure what all the fuss is about.
-
Great tackle by Matty Cash to win the ball back.
When in the corner,I thougth how shit,
-
Nice deft touch from Ollie.
Just a note about Bournemouth, biggest cheats in the Premier League. Professional fouls, always go to ground when defending and that mug, Attwell falls for it. Their skipper should be sent off, no intention to play the ball at all, a professional foul.
-
when he has no time to think , he scores
This. You would imagine that he works on finishing in positions when he does have time to think but nearly every time that happens in matches, he misses.
-
A deserved lead.
-
Coverage will resume shortly - message on sky. WTF?
-
Nice deft touch from Ollie.

Ramsey should have kept away from him, instead got himself booked,a silly yellow card
-
Comfortable first half and rightly in front. Not sure what all the fuss is about.
I agree, with the Asensio and Kamara chances we are great value for the lead, I can't think of anything Emi has had to do.
-

And I thought I was on my own 😂
-
Congratulations, Ollie. Gabby binned off to being what he was: an expensive waste of space in the worst Villa team of the twenty-first century.
Gabby didn't cost anything, he came through the Academy.
-
That was mainly crap but strong end to the half. Come on you Villa boys.
-
Congratulations, Ollie. Gabby binned off to being what he was: an expensive waste of space in the worst Villa team of the twenty-first century.
Gabby didn't cost anything, he came throughyhe Academy.
He was one of the highest paid players in the last few years when he did nothing for Villa.
-
Only need another 14 this half.
-
Congratulations, Ollie. Gabby binned off to being what he was: an expensive waste of space in the worst Villa team of the twenty-first century.
Gabby didn't cost anything, he came throughyhe Academy.
He was getting paid all the time he couldn't be arsed
-
HT. Never in doubt, majestic half.
You always say that when we win by the skin of our teeth and I never know if you're messin' or not.
-
Ref letting them do the ‘chopping down all breakaways’ thing as per usual. Iraola gone down in my estimation too with his elbow gestures after their player ran into Mings. Their bench has been whining the whole game the twats.
-
Congratulations, Ollie. Gabby binned off to being what he was: an expensive waste of space in the worst Villa team of the twenty-first century.
Gabby didn't cost anything, he came throughyhe Academy.
He didn't play for free.
-
Are we dirty cvnts? We seemed to leave a lot of their players hurt on the deck.
-
1) I spent most of that half so bored that I went on to off topic to willfully make myself feel stupid reading Monty's posts.
2) Absolutely chuffed Gabby is no longer our top goalscorer.
3) I am really, really finding Alan Smith grating today.
-
Are we dirty cvnts? We seemed to leave a lot of their players hurt on the deck.
The only real 'injury' was when their guy ran into Mings's elbow, complete accident. They are serial floor dwellers to encourage the Referee to give them fouls.
-

Except being the record Premier League goalscorer for us until this afternoon ?
-

No we just no longer roll over
-
Are we dirty cvnts? We seemed to leave a lot of their players hurt on the deck.
Other than Onana can't really think of any real diggers we have. Barkley never plays. McGinn & Kamara on the odd occasion but probable below par for their position.
-
Well done Ollie a record he will have for some time and well done Villa, looking very good particularly towards the end of the half.
-
Objectively poor half. Lot of aimless balls
Ironic that our two most anonymous players that half combined to make the difference at h/t
Better side is leading
-
Probably one of the crapiest matches I’ve watched all season.
-
We can't play any worse in the second half.
-
Well done Ollie. Fantastic player for us, some hits some misses but always gives 100%.
Top man, wish him all the best whatever happens this summer.
-
Congratulations, Ollie. Gabby binned off to being what he was: an expensive waste of space in the worst Villa team of the twenty-first century.
Gabby didn't cost anything, he came through the Academy.
Surely meant his wages….
-
Gabby was great for about 3 years, after that he drifted into bang average before settling for spending years being fat, lazy and a disgraceful professional.
-
Really pleased for Watkins. A much more likeable character than Agbonlahor (despite the goals against blose) .
-
Objectively poor half. Lot of aimless balls

Uni's plan is that they are so anonymous that the opposition forget they're there then pounce.
-
We scored, hit the post and spirit of Yashin was in goal for them. I wish we were always that shit.
-
Gabby stole a living towards the end of his career. Was good under MON but went downhill rapidly. Pleased not to have such a wasted talent as our top scorer anymore.
-
Are we dirty cvnts? We seemed to leave a lot of their players hurt on the deck.
Ruben Dias just on the radio now complaining about Southampton. Must be a south coast thing.
-
Ollie Ollie Ollie
-
We scored, hit the post and spirit of Yashin was in goal for them. I wish we were always that shit.
Yep, another day it’s 0-3.
-
We can't play any worse in the second half.
We can. We have done loads of times this season. We’ve been ok.
-
We can't play any worse in the second half.
Nor can Bournemouth!! Shit match so far
-
Ahh, Gabby's alright, he gave us some great moments. I've forgiven him for that season. I don't think anyone or anything was stopping us going down, the Lerner malaise had just rotted the club from top to bottom.
-
Kluivert coming on for them.
-
Bournemouth making changes
-
Sky half time discussion revisiting the Mings incident AGAIN. They are almost in tears that we are leading apart from little Lee of course!
-
We can't play any worse in the second half.
Nor can Bournemouth!! Shit match so far
I thought we contained them really well and made them look very ordinary.
-
Watkins is so frustrating sometimes
Then he does that.
-
thought asesnio was getting into the game more and Onana was doing ok . I thought Ollie and Rogers was just not on the game and then the goal.
to think MAaen, Bailey, Maatsen and SJM for some pace last 20 minutes when Bournemth are knacked.
-
Ahh, Gabby's alright, he gave us some great moments. I've forgiven him for that season. I don't think anyone or anything was stopping us going down, the Lerner malaise had just rotted the club from top to bottom.
He was ok in 1 of his last 8 seasons, the other 7 he was shit.
-
Mings one didn't look good to be fair. I think the fact Scott practically back to him at time probably saved him
-
Phew
-
Unlucky Kamara
-
We scored, hit the post and spirit of Yashin was in goal for them. I wish we were always that shit.
Yep, another day it’s 0-3.
No, cos if the first goes in, the latter two chances don't happen. Not personal, but that lazy phrase is such a silly cliché.
-
Diving little twit!
-
I reckon we need at least two.
-
That is an effing dive
-
Ahh, Gabby's alright, he gave us some great moments. I've forgiven him for that season. I don't think anyone or anything was stopping us going down, the Lerner malaise had just rotted the club from top to bottom.
He was a disgrace in that last season in particular. Suspended and put on a fitness regime by two different managers, jetting off to Dubai to attend the opening of a nightclub etc. It was supposed to mean more to him being the local lad and fan. He really didn't give a fuck and didn't try to hide it.
-

3 goals in his last 3 seasons in the league. 13 in his last 5. He was shit for ages.
-
A mistake there in defence
Yellow for Kluivert should be , dive.
-
I reckon we need at least two.
... Two more.
Kluivert with a good chance, once again a player beats Cash, gets to the byline, cuts back and we're not marking anyone.
-
Why is Kluivert not getting booked for that? Wanker.
-
Yay! Ollie having the record has started the Gabby bashing again. Almost predictable.
-
Atwell giving strange yellows and then giving even stranger non-yellow decisions.
-
No idea why the ref doesn't see that as a clear dive, cheating nepo c**t.
-
Why is Kluivert not getting booked for that? Wanker.
Because Atwell is one of the worst officials in the country.
-
Can't believe Stockley Park don't tell the ref to card Kluivert. It's the sneakiest type of cheating.
-

3 goals in his last 3 seasons in the league. 13 in his last 5. He was shit for ages.
He was largely a lazy unprofessional bell-end post 2012
-
Losing the midfield duels again
-
dirty fuckers
-
That's a yellow surely
-
Agreed
-
That's a yellow for cook as well in my opinion.
-
Can't believe Stockley Park don't tell the ref to card Kluivert. It's the sneakiest type of cheating.
They don't get involved in yellow card decisions.
-
One more and Cook will be off
-
They don't get involved in yellows
-
Phew, thought that looked bad for Onana for a minute there.
-
Gabby was never the same after bulking up. He lost that bit of pace, although he did gain a real hunger. Just a shame it was for cream buns rather than playing football.
-
Ahh, Gabby's alright, he gave us some great moments. I've forgiven him for that season. I don't think anyone or anything was stopping us going down, the Lerner malaise had just rotted the club from top to bottom.
He was ok in 1 of his last 8 seasons, the other 7 he was shit.
3 goals in his last 3 seasons in the league. 13 in his last 5. He was shit for ages.
He was largely a lazy unprofessional bell-end post 2012
Was that the season he was offered the bumper final contract?
-
the pitch is soaked
-
These lot really are dirty dark arts fuckers
-
Was that the season he was offered the bumper final contract?
Nope. His last contract was signed early 2014/15. Lambert signed one as well. Which says everything about how we were run by then.
-
Bournemouth have made 15 fouls already in this game. Could be on for a record in a Premier League game if they keep this up
Two yellow cards though.
-
Don’t overplay Konsa.
-
konsa doing his falling overs again
-
We are so sloppy on the ball at the moment.
-

Because Atwell is a wanker.
-
Need McGinn on
-
Hopefully we start well when we come out for the 2nd half.
-
I hope Emo remembers that he's on a yellow already if he turns on the shithousery later on.

Or slicks his hair down to listen to My Chemical Romance
-
How can he think Watkins was the bigger offender there, Kirkez had a handful of shirt for fucking ages.
-
Our set pieces…
-
This referee has no clue.
-

Ha!
-
Well played Onana. Had a good game so far.
-
This referee has no clue.
He's given 3 really soft fouls in the last few mins, after letting them get away with far worse for an hour.
-
A second goal for us would be really nice at this point.
-
SJM coming on. I’m guessing for Asensio
-
We need a second Villa - get it.
-
Pau getting ready
-
refs giving us nothing
ollie was getting man handled then
-
I wish Cash would try to get to the bye line more often and get a decent cross in.
-
Pau getting ready
Hmmmm…there’s nothing wrong with the defence so far and one can only think it’s for Mings. Unless he’s playing in back 3.
-
This ref!!
-
Cash with an old fashioned cross there. Clearly thought we'd had possession for too long so just chipped it into the middle without so much as a glance to see if we had anyone in there. Then they launch an attack from it.
-
OMG this ref is clueless!
-
Pau getting ready
Hmmmm…there’s nothing wrong with the defence so far and one can only think it’s for Mings. Unless he’s playing in back 3.
Big call either way
-
What's the delay with the subs?
-
Pau and SJM on, Asensio and Mings off.
-
We seem a little slow to react to spare/second balls
-
Why Mings!??
-
If Pau comes on for Mings and they then score... doesn't bear thinking about
-
Pau getting ready
Hmmmm…there’s nothing wrong with the defence so far and one can only think it’s for Mings. Unless he’s playing in back 3.
Pau's a good player but we always seem to concede more goals when he plays instead of Ty. Hope he proves me wrong today.
-
Why bring Mings off?
-
Mings off makes no sense. He has been really solid
-
Konsa not happy.
-
Why Mings!??
he’s got a knock
-
I am surprised he has changed the back 4.
-
Mings off makes no sense. He has been really solid
I completely agree. On both points
-
Deep breath. Come on Pau. You’re a quality footballer. Don’t be a headline later for a defensive error
-
That’s an odd choice. I wonder if Mings hurt himself. We need another goal.
-
Wtaf is that sub all about?!
-
Uh oh. Pau on… we might need to score again in that case. Can pau keep a clean sheet for the remaining 20mins
-
Why bring Mings off?
Yes, why Torres will get bullied by Evanilsen
-
Hope Mings is coming off through injury, as he’s been brilliant. Evanilson in his pocket
-
We’re too deep we’ve got no outlet.
-
Mings off for Torres I don't get that one .
-
This is quite incoherent at the moment.
-
Why bring Mings off?
Yes, why Torres will get bullied by Evanilsen
My 5ft 7 stone Nan could bully Torres
-
Why bring Mings off?
Yes, why Torres will get bullied by Evanilsen
My 5ft 7 stone Nan could bully Torres
I read that as five foot seven which wasn’t a bad height for a nan.
-
If Pau comes on for Mings and they then score... doesn't bear thinking about
Apocalypse Pau
-
Feels like we’ve lost our shape a bit since the subs
-
I cannot fathom out why Rogers is still on.
He has done very little and (cross for the goal excepted) what little he has done has been awful
-
We’re not exactly free-flowing today
-
We’ve got no out ball it’s annoying.
-
We've not been good since HT.
-
Why bring Mings off?
Yes, why Torres will get bullied by Evanilsen
My 5ft 7 stone Nan could bully Torres
I read that as five foot seven which wasn’t a bad height for a nan.
Ha! Realised as soon as I posted it that it made it sound like I had a taller than average Nan that's made of stone
-
That Kabani is a dirty clogger.
-
My sky box has died. Ffs
-
We need to get hold of the midfield. To play the last 15-20 on the back foot won’t end well for us
-
Why Mings!??
he’s got a knock
Missed that. He didn't look impressed about being subbed.
-
We’re going to concede if we don’t address this.
-
Martinez will get a second yellow for time wasting.
-
My sky box has died. Ffs
Of boredom?
-
Mings off for Torres I don't get that one .
Commentators just said “I can’t see where a Bournemouth goal will come from” I think most villa fans know…
-
We spend so much energy to win the ball back, then just cheaply give it away.
This makes us knackered, it makes us retreat, and it makes us going to concede a goal around the 90th min again.
-
I think Matthew Cash has played well so far
-
Ted MacDougall warming up for them.
-
My sky box has died. Ffs
Of boredom?
Lmfao good old unplug and plug back in fixed it. It was just as onana and Mcginn were twerking on theirs
-
We are so bastard sloppy.
-
Dirty fuckers
-
Martinez will get a second yellow for time wasting.
My bad misread your post.
-
Blimey Pau stepped on the ball and could have gone anywhere
-
Martinez will get a second yellow for time wasting.
And sent off. He's had one already
Yes hence why I said second yellow. :-)
-
Martinez will get a second yellow for time wasting.
And sent off. He's had one already
It is what second means isn't it?
-
Fans have been ace, but do we have a DRUM!???? Get out.
-
I feel physically sick.
-
Martinez will get a second yellow for time wasting.
And sent off. He's had one already
Yes hence why I said second yellow. :-)
Yep my bad.
-
JJ sent off
-
Jacob sent off
-
FFS.
-
You are fucking joking
-
Oh FFS
-
Shite
-
His first yellow was dumb.
-
Fucking hell
-
Wtf is that red card
-
He can pack his bags for Newcastle now.
-
Fuck sake JJ sent off
-
Nearly 1-1.
-
Hindsight but Unai should have subbed him with this ref.
-
Atwell is a twat.
-
this fucking ref
-
VAR has to look at that
-
That's all we need
-
Stuart Fucking Attwell
-
This referee is an absolute prick.
-
Get Disasi on at right back
NOT
-
FFS
-
Very lucky.
-
And that is how silly that first yellow was. And he'd had a fine game otherwise too
-
VAR has to look at that
Why? It is a second yellow and they don't do anything with Yellows.
-
So VAR didn’t even look at that to assess whether it warranted a second yellow and red? That’s absolute bullshit
-
how many have they fouled and nothing and a card for that fucker wtf
-
VAR has to look at that
No it doesn't as they don't check yellows
-
Oh dear!
Keep it tight, go 441
-
Fuck off Atwell, wanker.
-
He can pack his bags for Newcastle now.
?? What have I missed?
-
It was a second yellow no question.
-
We HAVE to replace rogers.
We are playing with 9 men while he’s on
-
His first yellow was dumb.
So was the second really.
-
Great save Emi
-
Emi saves, hanging on desperately
-
What a useless dicksprout of a referee. That’s not a yellow at all.
Corruption again!
-
it's going to be a long 10 minutes now.
-
There's worse fouls that have gone unpunished in this game.
-
The ref is useless
All the fouls today and he sends Ramsey off for one tangle of legs
-
VAR has to look at that
VAR don't look at yellow cards.
-
This is going to end badly for us
-
It was a second yellow no question.
Except he hasn't given yellows to Semenyo and Cook for very similar fouls.
-
So VAR didn’t even look at that to assess whether it warranted a second yellow and red? That’s absolute bullshit
They DON'T CHECK yellows!
-
We all know how this ends.
-
he dont head that with mings on
-
This ends in the 93rd minute with a sodding equaliser. Again. Piss poor.
-
The referees a wanker.
-
The ref is useless
All the fouls today and he sends Ramsey off for one tangle of legs
Sky states it was for a tug on the shirt.
-
It’s a deserved red. But Atwell is a knob
-
We could end up losing this if we're not careful.
-
Alan Smith is a right tosser ain’t he….
-
no fucking chance fuck off bournemouth you wankers
-
Do VAR check yellows? I never know.
-
These lot are lot dirtier than I thought.
-
Defence is a mess now without Mings leadership.
-
JJ was dumb for the first yellow, we chose to leave him on with this ref. It's on us more than the ref.
-
Do VAR check yellows? I never know.
NO
-
We HAVE to replace rogers.
We are playing with 9 men while he’s on
Yep, get Ross on, pack the middle
-
Atwell is an absolute twat, he has now lost control.
-
Martinez going to get another yellow I can see it
-
Do VAR check yellows? I never know.
NO
🤣
-
This ref. Fucking hell
-
Park the bus. We'll be ok.
-
Do VAR check yellows? I never know.
No
-
Come on boys
-
Thank fuck we never concede late goals.
-
Am I the only one who cannot understand why Rogers is still on ?
-
I don’t think I want want to watch the final 10 mins of this…
-
We could do with getting one of them sent off. McGinn or someone should start some handbags with one of their yellow cardees.
-
Why didn’t Barry take the penalty?
-
Thank fuck we never concede late goals.
I’m starting to shit bricks
-
"Stuart Atwell has plenty on his plate here" - yes, because he's lost control of the game by being inconsistent. No one else is too blame for this game turning into a battle.
-
All over us now. With 11 I would have said to bring Malen on but we need Watkins defensive duties now.
-
Thank fuck we never concede late goals.
They rarely score them, either...
-
We are bringing on the defensive Ian Maatsen.
-
Rogers can’t move
-
Am I the only one who cannot understand why Rogers is still on ?
he has been blowing for 20 minutes.
-
Thank fuck we never concede late goals.
They rarely score them, either...
96 isn’t late these days.
-
I'm starting to think we won't win 15-0.
-
We all know how this goes.
-
Ian on for Rogers.
-
rogers has gone useless
-
Rogers off
-
Rogers and out.
-
What is wrong with Rogers? He's having an absolute mare.
-
rogers has gone useless
Think he’s just fucked after playing so many games.
-
IM to offer pace down the left. McGinn to the right
-
Ian on for Rogers.
Where has Maatsen gone? Right or left?
-
Am I the only one who cannot understand why Rogers is still on ?
he has been blowing for 20 minutes.
So that's why he's such a favourite of Emery's.
-
Ian on for Rogers.
Where has Maatsen gone? Right or left?
Left
-
5 min added on
-
7 bring added here
Make that five.
-
5 added mins.
-
Fuck, I can't watch.
See you on the other side.
-
Come on Villa. Stay strong
-
Four left.
-
Maatsen on for Rogers - going to try and use his pace down the left to give us an out ball and relieve pressure?
-
Come on Villa. Don’t make my poo turn to liquid again
-
This bloody referee. Beyond utterly useless.
-
These fuckers got a last minute equaliser at VP.
-
22 yellows and 1 red card in the two games between these fierce long time rivals.
-
These fuckers got a last minute equaliser at VP.
SHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-
22 yellows and 1 red card in the two games between these fierce long time rivals.
31 fouls today and counting.
-
And then there were 2 (mins left)
-
I cant watch this!
-
Konsa's first booking of the season? Really?!
-
Ollie running on fumes
-
What a let off!
-
Well done Matty
-
Cash magnificent!!
-
Surely that must be it now??
-
Fucking hell. They nearly did it again
-
What a save
-
And relax.
-
Matthew Cash you beauty
-
what the fuck happened
martinez save
-
Cash has been in really good form recently.
-
And there it almost was
-
EMI saves us
-
Well played Matty!
-
then cash
-
Great defending Matty. And tbh that is the most threatened our goal....looked all game
-
Konsa's first booking of the season? Really?!
First in the PL. He got one in the CL.
-
And relax.
Careful some people with that command, make sure you are over the porcelein.
-
Is it over yet?
-
Take a bow Matty Cash. Impervious today.
MOTM
-
YESSSSSSSS great result
-
Is it over yet?
Yes.
-
Massive result. That sets us up nicely for top 5.
-
Job done
-
Wow cash !
-
Will Mings or Torres be credited with that clean sheet?
-
get in! champions league dream is still alive!
-
Wow that was a monumental performance.
Marty Cash was immense.
-
Is it over yet?
It is now
-
Fucking hell, Villa!
That is all.
-
Will Mings or Torres be credited with that clean sheet?
Cash bailed Torres out at the end there , totally lost his man , as he did earlier when Martinez saves the header.
Hopefully Mings is fit for the last 2
