Evann help the new girl if she has to go through what I went through.
-

I anticipate very few Guessand shots on target, hope I'm wrong.
-
Pretty defensive line up.
Hope Maatsen is switched on tonight. He'll have his work cut out against Minteh who's been in great form lately.
-
Good to see players rested/rotated. 2-0 win please, with Ollie and Guessand scoring.
And good luck to KNV!
-
The expected keep it tight first half line up!
-
Find a way to win please.
-
Plenty of gamechangers on the bench if needed. I suspect that they might be needed,. There doesn't look to be too many goals in that starting XI. Go on Villa, please prove me wrong.
-
Looking around the grounds and most teams have regular first team players on the bench tonight. Emery’s looking after a few tonight.
But all the same, if this goes wrong I will blame KNVillan. ;)
-
Garcia's alive!
-
Last match thread was Sunderland (a)...
-
I’m in a wine bar in New York. I haven’t slept in 24 hours. I don’t actually know which way is up or down anymore now…
Come on Villa!
-
Garcia's alive!
Oh yes, good spot! Good news, I liked him. However Cash has upped his game this season massively.
-
Last match thread was Sunderland (a)...
Looks a good result in retrospect.
-
looking forward to this - a big think a draw is most likely but if we could win we really would be cooking!

If we don't score tonight, even Smirker will blame KNVillan.
-
Thought Mitoma was back for them. Glad he's not

Come on Villa!
Maybe Guessard will look the business in your current state!

He was back on the bench for Young Boys

In my defence I am nursing a fractured fibula!

As long as we don’t lose, I’ll be happy. Or fast asleep. One of the two.

A tiny insignificant bone lol

Thanks for the sympathy!

Like Watkins, you have my sympathy for your injury, but you should be nowhere near starting the match (thread)!

I'll take the pain for team...
-
Contain, contain, contain, contain then explode.
0-1 to the Villa. Shot from outside the box.
Fingers crossed.
-
Pretty defensive line up.
Hope Maatsen is switched on tonight. He'll have his work cut out against Minteh who's been in great form lately.
He's had a new lease of life ever since leaving Eastenders.
-
Bizot...
-
Martinez not starting, what’s happened?
-
Bizot, Bizot, Bizot.
-
Martinez not starting, what’s happened?
Felt something during warm-up again probably. Happened earlier in the season as well.
-
>:(
Martinez not starting, what’s happened?
Utd been on the blower? ....
-
How on earth does Martinez keep getting injured in the warm up
-
Emi Madeofglass
-
Welbeck on the bench
-

They get Ollie to practice his shooting during the warm-up.
-

Just glad I didn't wish you luck in a more theatrical manner.
-
Emi being out is a blow.
-
Emi being out is a blow.
Less of a blow these days with it being Bizot rather then Olsen when it does happen.
Alhough also just realised it is KNVillains fault.
-
I don't have a good feeling about this one.
-
Ffs Guessand
-
Uff we're playing all in claret which makes it look like we're in pyjamas
-
Uff we're playing all in claret which makes it look like we're in pyjamas
If they were a collaboration with Mira Mitaki, they'd definitely look like pyjamas.
-
Hope to fuck nothing happens to Bizot with Ronnie Hollingshead now on the bench.
-
Ezri Konsa is making his 210th Premier League appearance for Aston Villa tonight, the joint-10th most in club history alongside Ashley Young.
-
At least the bench looks strong.
-
When did they stop enforcing being ten yards away for free kicks? Noticed quite a lot recently.
-
Put all the away fans together at Villa Park....might actually here something at home then.
-
Hope to fuck nothing happens to Bizot with Ronnie Hollingshead now on the bench.
Sounds like someone who used to drink in The Blind Beggar.
-
Lots of empty seats ?
-
Bollocks.
-
Brighton score. VAR?
-
Needed an Emi there
-
Calamity goalkeepin
-
It stands
-
Bizot piss poor there.
-
Oh well.
-
Any chance Martinez could stop being a massive cowardly fanny?
-
Bigot piss poor there.
They normally are anywhere.
-
That’ll do for us.
-
Or does it
-
Like Leeds away. Again.
-
It is 1-0
-
Bizot weak as piss.
-
So much for the 0-0 for an hour plan.
-
Crap
-
Clusterfuck central cornageddon.
-
That’s dreadful from Bizot
-
*hides*
-
never a corner either.
-
Fuck ups all over, from Maatsen initially, officials and the goalie
-
We love giving away cheap early goals.
-
Emi Martinez probably just didn't fancy it - transfer window coming up.
-
We need to slow this down. They look better playing at pace than us
-
In a parallel universe, there is a Martinez-less Villa not fourth in the table.
-
That was dreadful from the keeper.
-
Time to press mute.
-
In a parallel universe, there is a Martinez-less Villa not fourth in the table.
Yeah we'd be top.
-
Now need a certain striker to step-up.
-
Get that Hollyoaks lad on!!
-
*hides*
You can try and run away, but you'll be pretty easy to catch.
-
How often has Martinez pulled this stunt now? I’ve never known anything like it from any keeper.
-
Ha!
-
Now need a certain striker to step-up.
Is tonight the night?
-
How often has Martinez pulled this stunt now? I’ve never known anything like it from any keeper.
What would be the point?
-
That’s not a corner. Cash heads it and it deflects off the Brighton player. FFS
-
Now need a certain striker to step-up.
Absolutely no chance I'm afraid. More chance Guessand scores.
-
happens many times we conced early. Also having questionable second keeper. Dirty from them running over to the keeper giving him a push to unbalance just before the corner Kick
-
We are looking a bit sit.
-
Whenever Martinez does a disappearing act the entire team play shit.
-
We need to cut out the catching practice for their keeper with the aimless punts into the area.
-
Slow build up coupled with no movement is ineffective
-
We are looking a bit sit.
Time for them to stand up and be counted
-
It's been a shite evening so far.
Wake up, Villa.
-
Hate this stopping the game shite! His life isn't in fucking danger...get on with it mun.
-
Why is the ref stopping play when its not a head injury?
-
And that is a ‘kin dive on the touchline! FFS
-
Playing at snails pace again.
Why are we not pressing?
-
Did McGinn start up next to Watkins?
-
Whenever Martinez does a disappearing act the entire team play shit.
Yeah I can imagine it’s very disruptive.
-
Another early goal given away.
-
Did McGinn start up next to Watkins?
Looks like it.
-
All these replays but not one for this incident
.
-
Whenever Martinez does a disappearing act the entire team play shit.
Can't be ideal for the no.2 being asked at the last minute
-
That var check for the goal was inconclusive
-
They are up for this and quicker than us at the press and we look uncharacteristically nervous at the back with the ball. Bizot looked nervous from the start.
-
FUCK off. Lets stop it again for a finger on the chest....ref, head injury....twat
-
When they were reviewing the goal for handball, they were not looking at it from the best angle, it seemed to me.
-
Has Guessand been told to keep his powder dry and not get involved in the game
-
Why is Rogers such a crap tackler?
-
This ref is a fucking ******
-
Still pissed off with the fact that two people in the ground could not see that that was a goal kick followed by a total fuck up.
-
We're dirty northern bastards apparently.
-
Rubbish from Rogers again, protect the ball ffs
-
Van Hecke, you're pathetic.
-
When they were reviewing the goal for handball, they were not looking at it from the best angle, it seemed to me.
In fact ,it was the worst possible angle
-
Has Guessand been told to keep his powder dry and not get involved in the game
I think they said keep dry until AFCON
-
Rogers was clearly having his shirt pulled before losing the ball back there.
-
A shambles so far...a few have their stupid heads on tonight
-
Why is Rogers such a crap tackler?
Giving the ball away originally was the bigger crime
-
Taken me 15 minutes to re-log in to my viaplay account in Holland only to finally get it on TV to see we are a goal down - ugh.
-
We are absolutely stinking up the pitch.
-
Rogers was clearly having his shirt pulled before losing the ball back there.
obviously not long enough!
-
Brighton are a bunch of pussies
-
Why is Rogers such a crap tackler?
Giving the ball away originally was the bigger crime
he's good at that too
-
Malen ,Youri, Digne, Buendi....and uhhhhh Sancho to come on second half.
-
Van Hecke, you're pathetic.
Is he the one who hit the deck holding his face with no one within 20 yards of him? I'm losing track.
-
Fucking shite Ollie.
-
Nice ironic cheers from our boys
-
2-0
-
Fucking hell Ollie is shot...what's the point right now.
-
Malen ,Youri, Digne, Buendi....and uhhhhh Sancho to come on second half.
Elliot?
-
Nice passback from Ollie.
-
That's really bad from Watkins. Really bad.
-
Sub scores.
Or Pau deflection
-
This is shit.
-
And that’s game over. I had a feeling we’d bottle this game.
-
This is not a good day at the office..
-
I’m going to sleep
-
Jammy fuck
-
Utterly abject, just like last time Martinez went missing.
-
Malen ,Youri, Digne, Buendi....and uhhhhh Sancho to come on second half.
Elliot?
Who's that?
-
No conviction at all from Ollie. Much better from Rogers.
And there it is. Torres playing them on?
-
Yeah not our night here. Oh well.
-
I’m going to sleep
You are the Villa team and I claim my £5
-
Holly fucking molly
-
FFS big chance at one end missed seconds later its 0-2
-
Jammy fuckers with that deflection
-
Shit line up, shit performance, shit luck.
-
We'll have them in the reverse fixture.
-
What is the point of playing Watkins, that chance falls to Malen ……
-
2 ridiculous goals. Brighton are such a hilarious team and club. I’ll enjoy it when they fuck of back to where they belong like all the other ‘well run’ clubs with delusions of grandeur.
This game ain’t over yet.
-
Watkins should learn from their goal….thats how its done
-
First goal from a corner that wasn't a corner and the second a deflection off Torres. And after Watkins missed a good chance.
Not our night.
-
I have absolutely had enough of Watkins.
-
Watkins touch is so bad it's giving me hives
-
Not good.
Neil from Dorset is no doubt feeling vindicated.
-
*limps off into the distance never to be seen again!...sighs!*
-
We've been awful so far. That goal difference we've been painstakingly building upvover the last couple of months could disappear the way this is going
-
Utterly abject, just like last time Martinez went missing.
I might have missed it. But where is he?
-
Shit starting lineup.
Not sure what Emery was expecting.
-
No point waiting until half time to hook Guessand. Onana hiding too.
-
Watkins should learn from their goal….thats how its done
How do you mean? He should try and pass but secretly hope it deflects into the goal ?
-
What is the point of playing Watkins, that chance falls to Malen ……
He was ineffective on Saturday. Why should he do any better?
-
Utterly abject, just like last time Martinez went missing.
I might have missed it. But where is he?
Sat on the bench pretending to be injured.
-
I'm very glad Watkins was in the position to miss that chance.
-
It’s obvious it’s villa so it’s no penalty.
-
If that was Fernandes or Liverpool it's a pen
-
If that was Fernandes or Liverpool it's a pen
Agreed
-
That has to be a penalty.
-
Shit starting lineup.
Not sure what Emery was expecting.
Erm, we have three league games in six days.
-
Ref is bent
-
WTAF?!
-
2 ridiculous goals. Brighton are such a hilarious team and club. I’ll enjoy it when they fuck of back to where they belong like all the other ‘well run’ clubs with delusions of grandeur.
This game ain’t over yet.
Are Brighton now the new Bournemouth? Were Bournemouth the new Brighton when Brighton became the old Bournemouth for a while?
-
Clear trip I thought.
-
He catches his foot.
That is a pen.
-
too many weak-links who aren't up for a scrap - Onana and Guessand
and I think Rogers will get sent off here
-
Just switched on. Fuck sake.
-
That is quite clearly a fucking pen. Get fucked you ******.
-
We would have probably missed it anyway!
-
As seems to be the case every week, that's just inconsistent, if you give the foul by Rogers on the edge of our box you then have to give that pen.
-
If that was Fernandes or Liverpool it's a pen
Agreed
Beat me to it.
-
Is rogers on crack tonight ?
-
What is the point of playing Watkins, that chance falls to Malen ……
He was ineffective on Saturday. Why should he do any better?
Maybe look at goals per minutes, goals per shot and goals this season for the 2 players and come back to me.
-
2-1 OLLIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
-
I'll be honest, I didn't think it was a pen. He didn't help himself by not going down straight away so it looked completely unnatural. I agree on the inconsistency, though.
-
Shit starting lineup.
Not sure what Emery was expecting.
Erm, we have three league games in six days.
So start your best 11 and then use subs.
-
Hallelujah!!!!
-
Get in Ollie
-
Watkins needed that...
-
Ollie at last. Wake the fuck up villa
-
Another dire bollockbrain of a ref.
We are a magnet for them.
-
Yesss
-
YEAHHHHH fucking YESSSSSSSSS
-
Ollie Watkins, duh, duh, duh, duh.
-
What is the point of playing Watkins, that chance falls to Malen ……
He was ineffective on Saturday. Why should he do any better?
See what you mean
-
Hopefully that is the start of a goal streak for Ollie.
-
Is there any love commentary anywhere?
-
Get in there Ollie!!!
