Watkins off the bench to score the winner.
-
Fair do's I think Tileman's far better alongside Kamara.
-
Surprised he's left Onana out.
-
At least we've got all our top goalscorers out there. If the defence can do their job alongside our beautiful midfield, why not?
Be clinical, Villa!
-
Surprised he's left Onana out.
Saving him for Arsenal's set pieces.
-
Great line up.
Buzzing with that.
-
Good line up.
They have a strong squad
-
Fair do's I think Tileman's far better alongside Kamara.
Think Emery had to make that change. Our midfield hasn't fired last two games and that's put pressure on our defence. Surprised he hasnt brought Digne back to try to hold Neto. Buendia had to get another chance, not sure at all about Malen leading the line but Ollie can't have many complaints.
They look very strong on paper but get in on top of them and they are very flaky at the back. Would take a draw, 2-2.
-
Both teams look fairly attacking; could be an open game, which should suit us.
-
Surprised he's left Onana out.
Me too, as he gives an extra dimension in midfield, especially away from home.
-
I thought he might have rested Cash today; or at least not started him.

Front 6 for them look quite fearsome. Strong bench too.
We need Emi B and Morgan to exploit space between central midfield and defence as per Arsenal
-
Surprised he's left Onana out.
Saving him for Arsenal's set pieces.
Good shout.
-
I thought he might have rested Cash today; or at least not started him.
Looking a bit tired lately alright. Decent break since last game though so should be fine.
-
Seeing that Torres doesn't make the bench, I wonder if that makes it more likely or less likely that he could start v Arsenal?
-

Also on 4 yellows.
-

Best right back at the club by miles this season, a yellow away from a ban but can’t be leaving him out of a game as big as this.

The only right back at the club! May as well send García back to Spain and sign the lad wr wanted to all along.
-
I moan about Watkins more than *almost* anyone, but it's disconcerting to see him not in the 11.

I think Malens a good player, but more of a wide forward than someone leading the line, so yes agree.
-
Surprised he's left Onana out.
Saving him for Arsenal's set pieces.
Good shout.
Also, there is a fair chance Kamara will be suspended so we will need him to play the whole game on Tuesday.
-
Very tough this. Come on Villa.
-
Kamara is better with Tielemans alongside him. Not surprised Watkins is on the bench, Malen deserves a start. This is a proper test of our credentials...
-
I moan about Watkins more than *almost* anyone, but it's disconcerting to see him not in the 11.
So what is it exactly that you want?

He wants to be free. To do what he wants to do.
-

I wanna get loaded and have a good time. And that's what I'm gonna do.

Are we in it or are we in the mix for best of rest next 2 games
-
Good line up.
They have a strong squad
I would think so spending billions
-

Yes and it gives us more mobility in midfield.
-

-
A win puts us 10 clear of 6th. Get it done Villa.
-
No bookings for Cash & Kamara. No gifts, then we've got a chance. Whatever happens they've been brilliant for the past 3 months.
I'd take a draw.
-
would be well happy with a draw tonight.
we can get something , I believe ....
-
Fuck the draw. Let's have these Surrey racists, all of them c-words.
-
Would rip your arm off for a point, the form is great but the performances have been very average
-
Vital game for Emery to keep his job.
-
got townsend on instead of Smith
-
Would rip your arm off for a point, the form is great but the performances have been very average
I would also take a point, but performances average? We weren’t amazing against Manure Utd, but we were excellent against Arsenal.
-
Won't get away with many of those
-
good chance for Palmer
-
I would like to withdraw my previous comment and will pledge to learn to respect the point.
-
I’m feeling anxious. Would take a draw
-
Was expecting Rogers to bury that :(
-
morgan should have had a go then
-
Kamara asleep so far
-
Don’t really want to put TV on mute but Alan Smith is making it v tempting!
-
Fuck the draw. Let's have these Surrey racists, all of them c-words.
Couldn’t agree more.
-
Alan Smith a nasal cvnt and anti-Villa, everything he says seems to be negative, can't stand him.
-

Agreed
-
Caicedo is pretty lucky not to get a booking there, piss poor challenge.
-

Came here to say something similar. Surely there's an ex Villa man somewhere who can be on co comms.
-
Chelsea playing everything down our left, busy afternoon for Maatsen
-
Have we done anything yet?
-

There is, Andy Townsend, but he’s not much better.
-
At it again about last week. Shut up you Alvechurch twat.
-
cucarela is a real twat.
-
Not great.
-
Alan Smith...could bore an arsehole in a wooden horse
-
Caicedo is pretty lucky not to get a booking there, piss poor challenge.
From the Beeb website:
A late sliding challenge by Moises Caicedo on Boubacar Kamara earns Villa a free-kick but the visitors are not happy with that.
They want referee Stuart Attwell to show Caicedo a yellow card.
Attwell decides to keep his cards in his pocket on this occasion.:
Put your house on Kamara getting a yellow for something similar later in the game.
-
I was scared, then.
-
We play this rope a dope game too much. I know it’s a tactic to bring teams on to us and break but it’s going to mud if we fall behind against better sides. It would be nice if we had the ball for more than 10 seconds.
-
Reece James always worries me.
-
another chavski miss .. stop giving the ball away and slow as fuck

Chants of Michael van Gerwen

Chelsea 0-0 Aston Villa
Nizaar Kinsella
BBC Sport Chelsea reporter
The Aston Villa away supporters have spotted VIP darts guest David Munyua, who supports Chelsea, and are targeting him with "oooh Michael van Gerwen chants".
That's pretty good knowledge of the sport of darts from away fans in west London given van Gerwen knocked him out of the World Darts Championship.
-
They’re dominating the midfield at the moment
-
There was always a risk it would be like this here.
-
Not enjoying this at all.
-
keep giving it away
-
It would be nice to win a challenge in midfield or even keep hold of the ball
-
How is that not a booking?
-
Palmer staring to dominate
-
I reckon this will be 2-0 to them, it’s got that kind of feel.
-
According to Alan Smith, Chelsea are dominating things. Looks pretty even to me.
-
Emi saves, this isn't great so far.
-
Not got into this at all yet
-
keep giving it away
Giving the ball away pretty much every time we get it so far. Can't keep giving teams like this ball so easily.
-
Half-time, please ref.
-
Very disjointed so far, not in it.
-
According to Alan Smith, Chelsea are dominating things. Looks pretty even to me.
This is not 'even'.
-
Facepalm save
-
According to Alan Smith, Chelsea are dominating things. Looks pretty even to me.
I mean it’s not.
-
Communication between our CBs non existent
-
Unless we get a grip this could get ugly. Midfield not in the game.
-
Emi Buendia looks lost. Probably not a game he should of started.
-
Have we had a player sent off?
-
I'd be tempted to bring Malen on.
-
Looking like a matter of time until they score.
-
Alan Smith now playing Fraser from Dad’s Army!
-
I'd be tempted to bring Malen on.
Dare I say, we're missing Ollie's influence here.
-
Cash not happy since that knock.
-
This shows the difference between Ollie and Malen. Ollie can hold the ball up.
-
This is a brutal watch. Change something now!
-
I’ve no idea what channel I’m watching but I think it’s Townsend who has been utterly biased to Chelsea
-
Cash booked.
-
Out of Arsenal game. I did say we should rotate in this one.
-
This shows the difference between Ollie and Malen. Ollie can hold the ball up.
The problem is the ball hasn't been out of our half..
-
Twatwell has been waiting to do that all game.
-
Chelsea players got in the ref’s ear to get Cash booked there
-
I thought he might have rested Cash today; or at least not started him.
Hmmm
-
This feels like the absence of Onana to me. Outcompeted in the middle at every breakdown.
-
Chelsea players got in the ref’s ear to get Cash booked there
It was a clear booking.
-
Cheating wanker.
-
What a bellend this ref is.
-
Twatwell has been waiting to do that all game.
Cash shouldn't have given him an easy opportunity to then.
-
Cash booked.
And no worse than fouls previously committed. by both sides. That extra couple of rolls did the trick.
-
Chelsea players got in the ref’s ear to get Cash booked there
It was a clear booking.
It was, but they've got away with a couple of similar ones and the ref seemed to be letting it go until Cucurella whinged at him.
-
No shots. Zero xg
-
Despite what the commentators are saying, we are well organised and repelling a decent side: we do however need some more control. Chelsea have been rather niggly.
-
Twatwell has been waiting to do that all game.
Cash shouldn't have given him an easy opportunity to then.
Silly, he had Garnacho in his pocket up to then. More pressure now
-
I thought it was a booking but the ref didn't until the hair bear bunch told him to. The ******.
-
Cash booked.
And no worse than fouls previously committed. by both sides. That extra couple of rolls did the trick.
Looked pretty bad to me! Would have been fuming if that had been the other way round
-
This is a harder watch than Mrs Browns Boys.
-
Neto destroying us down our left.
-
This has been pretty dreadful. Unpopular with some, but without Ollie we can’t get up the pitch.
-
5th best so far. Behind Chelsea, both sets of fans and the ball boys.
-
2nd best all over. Lindelof and Konsa our best players so far
-
Twatwell has been waiting to do that all game.
Cash shouldn't have given him an easy opportunity to then.
The Fernandez bodycheck on Buendia was as bad but no card.
-
It was worse and in a more dangerous position, and he could have chosen to book Rogers for the shove if he was a total twat, but didn't.
-
This is the ideal game for Watkins to hold the ball up. Never mind...
-
We’re leading a charmed life so far
-
2 sloppy mcGinn balls there
-
1-0. no surprise
-
Here we go.
-
We’re leading a charmed life so far
FFS, mate.
-
Cash booked.
And no worse than fouls previously committed. by both sides. That extra couple of rolls did the trick.
Looked pretty bad to me! Would have been fuming if that had been the other way round
Stonewall yellow card. Our lot singing Premier league corrupt as fuck was very cringey.
-
Ffs
-
When the first goes in, expect the floodgates to open
-
We've been shocking. Malen may as well not be on the pitch.
-
They're not getting clear-cut chances but they are certainly getting into dangerous positions and asking plenty of searching questions. It's also a more controlled press than, say, West Ham's was, so they'll be able to keep it up well into the second half.
Ominous.
-
It was coming..been a horrible one so far..
-
Oh.
-
That’s awful
-
Rest players for Boxing Day matches. We always get twatted regardless, no point risking injuries and suspensions.
-
All that defending then fuck it up from a corner, abysmal
-
This has 3 or 4 written all over it so far. Need some second half Unai magic.
-
We have been pathetically subservient. I don’t know why Unai sends us out that way. I hate it.
-
Awful awful fucking defending. That's gone straight in. Farcical by Martinez.
-
God I hate it when they blare music when they score.
-
A genuinely ridiculous, abysmal goal of absolutely no substance, after all that.
-
Second game in a row our midfield has been non existent
-
Piss poor
-
Dreadful goal to concede
-
I really hate these c**ts.
-
Oh good I’ve lost my sky connection
-
It was poor keeping. But he had zero protection from any defender
-
This is unfortunately going exactly as I expected, I despise this mob aswell.
-
That was inevitable, we’ve been really poor. This will be 3 or 4 if we don’t majorly improve.
-
Oh food I’ve lost my sky connection
That’s difficult to swallow.
-
Maybe we’re doing that conserving energy thing that some believe in
-
Dreadful goal to concede
I'm sure we say that every time we concede.
-
Ha! Indeed!
-
Sloppy. We're phoning it in, and you can't do that against this lot.
-
This is surely the worst display of the season. Worse even than the early days. We just don't exist out there.
-
Malen is making me miss Guessand.
-
Maybe we’re doing that conserving energy thing that some believe in
We have had an unbelievable three years and still you find snarky comments like these about our style.
-
There’s going to be a sending off in this..
-
How do we change this? It’a dreadful so far
-
Need to keep it to just 0-1 at HT and then fix it
-
Maybe we’re doing that conserving energy thing that some believe in
We have had an unbelievable three years and still you find snarky comments like these about our style.
Soz
-
buendia please stop that
-
Onana and Watkins on please.
-
Buendia and Malen must come off at half time. Both of them totally out of their depth.
-
Ollie and Onana on. Little Emi and Malen off. Thoughts?
-
Buendia and Tielemans passing has been atrocious today.
-
Maybe we’re doing that conserving energy thing that some believe in
We have had an unbelievable three years and still you find snarky comments like these about our style.
No you don't.
-
Ollie and Onana on. Little Emi and Malen off. Thoughts?
Yes from me.
-
Onana for Burndia please
-
Watkins has been awful.
-
Buendia off for Ollie is the change i'd make. Malen has been utter cack but he's not a lone striker and i'd like him and Ollie together.
-
I know Watkins is getting pelters for his lack of goal scoring this season - and some criticism is fair, but we often struggle without him on the pitch. We’re missing Pau too.
-
Ollie and Malen together is what we need to do.
Buendia useless this half - much like most of the team. I feel Onana will strengthen midfield, but I don’t know who i’d take off as they’ve all been shite
-
That should be a booking, no attempt at the ball.
-
0 shots that half.
-
0.0xg. Would you believe it?
-
that was shite
-
Well, that certainly wasn’t ideal.
-
Utter garbage.
-
0.0xg. Would you believe it?
Surely that unsustainable!
-
Christ that was shit
-
Worst half of the season.
-
Thought that might happen. Really bad.
-
Malen showed why Ollie starts even when off it. Until we have a better option then it will be Ollie starting most games.
Still true.
-
I suspect the only thing that didn’t go to plan there was let a pathetic goal in. I’m expecting a different second half now
-
Worst half of the season.
My thoughts too
-
Absolutely hopeless, we can only improve thankfully
-
Shite. We tried to do an Emery away half, but conceded. Let's hope they wake up for the second.
-
Disgraceful.
It’s an utter piss take that their keeper hasn’t had to touch the ball for 46.50 minutes
-
That's about as bad a half as I've seen from us this season. Everything we normally do well, we're doing badly. Chelsea have their tails up. If something doesn't change at half-time, this could be an ugly second half.
On the plus side, I don't think it's possible for us to be any worse. So the only way is up, right?
Right?
-
Malen showed why Ollie starts even when off it. Until we have a better option then it will be Ollie starting most games.
Still true.
Yep. No way is Malen a lone striker. He needs someone ahead of him to create space.
-
This lot, along with Arsenal, have so many players it's very easy to loath. I'd love to take a strimmer to that hair.
-
28% possession, 0 shots, 0 corners. Not our best half of the season.
-
Villa have picked up 15 points from losing positions.
Chelsea have dropped 10 points from winning positions.
🟠
-
Our better half is coming up.
-
Very similar to the game at their place last season where we were equally horrific.
Chelsea have just been quicker, stronger and more committed. We have been way too casual in possession and lethargic in tracking runners. Going in at only 1-0 is quite the achievement with how poor its been. Multiple rockets needed from Emery
-
They’ve done this with Kerry Dixon on the bench.
-
At least it’s only 1 nil. Need some more physicality we’re being bullied and overran in midfield
-
Our usual Blose first half away from home. Here's to it being an exercise in containment and PWS to declare another "Never in doubt" at full-time.
-
Still the ref is giving them a helping hand.
-
We’ve definitely had 1 shot that last free kick
-
Playing like a team who dont think they belong in the title race or even top 4 conversation.
-
Match highlights the 5 year net spend difference
Chelsea £662m
AV £63m
-
We've been shit but other than the freak goal from the corner they've not created much, I reckon Emery would've been ok with how it was going otherwise.
-
Midfield two haven't shown up. Not really sure why Emery moved Rogers off the left wing, Malen and him on different planets. Two full backs have done well, centre backs individually doing ok.
Big changes required at half time.
-
It's not the reason we are losing but the reffing is abysmal - letting them away with so many fouls. Cucurella is the biggest cheating twat I've seen in a while.
-
Playing like a team who dont think they belong in the title race or even top 4 conversation.
We’ve never been in the title race. Not a chance. It’s media bollocks
-
Not sure why the forwards are getting grief, the ball has been entirely in our half and the only out ball has been a hopeful punt. Totally outplayed in midfield, Kamara and Tielemans not at the races. Looks like we have lost 10 on the trot.
-
Watkins need to come on for Malen. I would also like Bogarde for Cash. Then Onana for Buendia to try stabilisize some midfield control. . What bad defending for their goal but cant say they have an undeserved lead. Another Villa second half please.
-
Midfield two haven't shown up.
Probably Onana's fault.
-
Is it 25 nil to them? Sounds like it. Is that long haired ****** the ref? Looks like it.
Not over yet.
-
Loads of pressure on Chelsea now, they played that first half at max speed, we got away with that, just 1 goal down, they will be sheeting bricks at what we do next, Watkins on Malen off, most important change.
Come Unai sort them out, we are still in this, let turn this around. All to do.
-
Should have been Buendia in Rogers slot and vice versa.
-
The worst 45 minutes we’ve played since Go Ahead Eagles.Malen isn’t the right man here, he’s not somebody who can hold the ball up. Let’s hope the 2nd half is much better, but if we get out of here with a draw we can thank our lucky stars
-
It's not the reason we are losing but the reffing is abysmal - letting them away with so many fouls. Cucurella is the biggest cheating twat I've seen in a while.
This is very true.
-
I think Buendia is a off the bench player . He can be rubbish when he starts but when he comes on can be magnificent . dont think McGinn has been too good neither in fact to be fair not many have.
-
I've noticed that teams seem to be targeting Martinez from corners recently.
-
Playing like a team who dont think they belong in the title race or even top 4 conversation.
We’ve never been in the title race. Not a chance. It’s media bollocks
This. We've achieved miracles in the last three months but we're not in a title race, to be in the top 4 after the palace game will be excellent.
We've been poor so far, we won't be that shite in the second half
-
If we come out and are much more aggressive from the off, we’ll shock them. They’re probably thinking they’re in for an easy ride at the moment.
And to be fair, we’re making it easy for them.
Why do we always shit the bed when we’re so close to being good?
-
He has to make a triple change at HT. Cash is going to get a red, Buendia has decided to unsuccessfully channel prime Zidane in extremely dangerous areas and this isn't the match for Malen.
Garcia, Onana and Watkins all on at HT for me.
-
Watkins need to come on for Malen. I would also like Bogarde for Cash. Then Onana for Buendia to try stabilisize some midfield control. . What bad defending for their goal but cant say they have an undeserved lead. Another Villa second half please.
All this
-
Midfield two haven't shown up.
Probably Onana's fault.
I'm blaming Carrodus.
-
Considering Chelsea’s two Defensive midfielders cost more than our starting 11 combined, I’ve seen nothing of note from them. Plan seems to be get the ball to Neto out wide to cross it in and see if Palmer can pick up any scraps. Barely impressive. Goal we conceded was a mess. Nothing to fear from them. We can get something here but our final third play needs to be much better than it has been and we need more from Malen.
-
I've noticed that teams seem to be targeting Martinez from corners recently.
He gets pinned by two attackers but if he pushes them away, Atwell would give a penalty. Not sure what the answer is.
-
Martinez has got to be better for the goal. Malen & Buendia are not starters in games like this. We're still in it. This game is more important than Arsenal. Watkins & Sancho on.
-
We're good enough to win this, needs changes in line up and attitude though. If we are to lose at least go down fighting rather than another 45 mins of that shite.
-
Going forward as bad as I've seen us all season, but defensively we've done well, apart from the goal obviously, and kept them down to a few chances.
-
Malen, Buendia off for Onana and Watkins please. We need a bit more physicality and to occupy their centre backs. Their goal, Martinez needs to play the game and get pushed all over the place, so they disallow the goal.
-
I think Buendia is a off the bench player . He can be rubbish when he starts but when he comes on can be magnificent . dont think McGinn has been too good neither in fact to be fair not many have.
They just look so much quicker, stringer and more athletic than us. They've been first to pretty much everything and our attacking players can't get away on the odd occasion we have had a chance to break.
-
I've noticed that teams seem to be targeting Martinez from corners recently.
He gets pinned by two attackers but if he pushes them away, Atwell would give a penalty. Not sure what the answer is.
Defenders should be dealing with them, not Martinez.

Us and MU fighting for 5th atm. Hopefully likes of Newcastle too far behind but a long way to go

Mings
-
I don't want us to wait until we are 2-0 down before we make the changes. Although, to be fair, we can afford to lose this.
-

Garcia, Onana and Watkins all on at HT for me.
I don’t get this, if there’s one thing I’ve learned about Unai is that he can tweak things and players who were playing crap suddenly seem like world beaters
-
I don’t want us limply giving away this incredible run we’ve been on. Go down fighting. We can all live with that. But that was shit.
-
No changes.
-
1-2 win incoming
-
We never seem to do well at Christmas.
-
We never seem to do well at Christmas.
Yeah, this goes back a long way with one or two exceptions
-
I've noticed that teams seem to be targeting Martinez from corners recently.
Bottled coming for that cross too
-
townsend do one
-
Fuck off townsend you bell end
-
townsend do one
This. He is a twat

Had to be a pen according to Townsend. Seems harsh.

We do crap at Xmas because we get shit fixtures, the last 5 26th/27th games

He can't be worse than Alan Smith - can he?

It could be worse I’m listening to Alan Smith
-
townsend do one
This. He is a twat
lets hope they dont pay him to come on Villa TV again
-
We have had to turnaround far too many games this season so far, I am afraid this one will be not one of those.
-
townsend do one
This. He is a twat
He can't be worse than Alan Smith - can he?
You would hope not being a former captain of the Villa, but he is shit
-
I remember Townsend defending the Terry assault on Milner at Wembley, the twat.
-
A shot!!
-
Did we just move off 0.0 for xG? That's the real quiz.
-
Townsend you can Fcuk off if you think you’re having any more of our mince pies.
-
Phew!

Almost two. Well done SJM.
-
Did we just move off 0.0 for xG? That's the real quiz.
0.02!!!
-
Everything is breaking down with Buendia.
-
Maatsen getting murdered, get Digne on
-
My brother is half watching it with me and keeps humming the liquidator. I’ve told him once more and I’ll liquidate the annoying feck myself.
-
Everything is breaking down with Buendia.
Really?
Need to get Tielemans off asap
-
See they never went back to see if the keeper carried out the area
-
Well, we had an attack. But seem to have settled back into being terrible again. I'll always remember that attack.
-
Everything breaking down through eleven players.
-
I wish the coach had broken down on the way there at the minute
-
Unless Unai changes things we are not going to get back in it.
-
Onana, Ollie and Sancho getting ready.
-
Need some changes or this game will be beyond us
-
I wish the coach had broken down on the way there at the minute
We are playing like it did, and the players had to push it the last thirty miles.
-
James and Rogers booked
-
Attwell.....

Sancho's chance to shine. His name sounds a bit like Santa.
It's all I've got.
-
Onana, Ollie and Sancho getting ready.
Buendia, Malen and SJM off
-
So Rogers was just booked for being rugby tackled and pointing it out.
-
SJM had a quiet game too, to be fair.
-
How on earth did the ref book Rogers instead of James. Ridiculous.
-
Pathetic from Attwell.
-
That is astonishing, how v the fuck is Rogers
Getting booked for thats!!?
Corrupt ref. Note the commentator didn’t question it
-
Let’s show them Ollie. Get us a point at least

We had a chance!
-
Better!
-
Superb play there

SJM had a quiet game too, to be fair.

Finally our dominance pays off.

-
Now win it Villa...
-

-
Well done Ollie!!!!
-
Fuck yes.
-
Yea fuck you Smith!
Totally agree. Can't stand him. I'd rather have Timothy Spall with his Barry the Boring Brummie accent commentating.
-
Brilliant, Ollie!
-
Pretty sure that goal doesn't count as he didn't mean it.
-
Get the fuck innnnnnnn
-
.....Rogers incoming....

Should be negative xG
-
Time to bring out the sword and have these bastards
-
Wow lol My feed is waaay behind.
Get in Ollie.
-
Well we deserved that we we’ve been parked in there half for the last 20 secs
-
Really, really, really want him to turn it around. For us and for him. Come on Villa.
-
We look fluid this half
-
Well on top now
-
Brilliant from Ollie, scruffy but who cares
-
Why didn't we try this being good at football lark earlier?
-
Sancho to score and really celebrates please
-
Get in Ollie. I still think we’ll lose, but good he’s got a goal.
-
Chelsea shitting it....
-
I would bite your hand off for a draw here.

6 shots to 1 this half, compared with 0-10 in the first

That was a dreadful corner though

Well played Sancho.

Attack, attack, attack attack attack.

Well we've already got one, so here's hoping you're right!
-
Chelsea losing their heads…
-
They’ll sucker us here.
-
What are the odds of a Sancho winner?
-
I’d take a winner deflected off a Chelsea arse. Anything for 3 points
-
That Fernadez is one horrible cheating fuck
-
Digne and Bogey getting ready
-
Sancho been pretty good so far
-
And Kamara out of Arsenal game.
-
Nobody left for Arsenal at this rate...

And Kamara out of Arsenal game.
We'd better win this one then.

Given what he's been letting go that harsh on kamara.

Digne and Bogey getting ready

Great header, but love the movement. Timed the run and leap so well.

The post-Christmas-overeating-overdrinking-Villa related sphincter puckering is real again.

I’ll bet you a tenner you do
