This will still be a very tough game. I'm more confident with Barkley in the middle and will be interest to see how he does. Big boost that Allison and Mane are out but not like Adrian and Jota are shit. I still think we wil lose but I hope and expect it to be competitive.
-
Happy with the team picked.
-
That line up looks a lot stronger with Barkley in there...
-
Tough on Hourihane but the right decision.
-
No Mane, Alison and Thiago. But they're replacing them with good players.
Our strongest side?
-
Let's give them a game lads.
-
About our best first eleven but I don't like that we have no centre back on the bench
-
About our best first eleven but I don't like that we have no centre back on the bench
are Hause and Engels injured? I assume so.
-
This looks like, and is, a bloody tough game. Go on Villa.
-
Barkley replacing Hourihane is a game changer, literally.
-
Tough on Hourihane but the right decision.
I would have dropped Trez instead.
-
Neither can play wide right
-
Neither can Trez.
-

Centre backs? We don't need no stinkin' centre backs.

-
I mean, I think we'll get killed, but it is exciting to see Barkley in the team.
-
Most of their team is shit, 3 easy points.
-
I still think we are soft in midfield, not physical enough. We have some craft in there with Grealish and Barkley though. Get into them, Fuck them off.
-
I hoped they watched Monday's Liv - Ars game closely, and learned that there is no way we should be trying to play out from the back. If Arsenal's players couldn't play their way out of the press, there's no way ours can.
-
Tough on Hourihane but the right decision.
Conor's great when we need to battle hard not against the more fluid footballing sides. We need everybody to be on their game for this one.
-
Tough on Hourihane but the right decision.
Dropping a player who got a goal and an assist the last day out is hardly justified. Would have thought it was set up to bring Barkley in as a sub for him to earn the shirt on performances not reputation. Very harsh on Hourihane, seems to be Smith's fall guy.
-
Trez will have the game of his life today.
The game is huge in Egypt - Salway vs Trez. And I’ve always thought that Trez steps up on the big occasions.
Plus he could well be playing for his place come tomorrow if Rashica comes true.
-
I have a good feeling about this game.
Whenever I have a good feeling we win.
Will Barkley or Watkins be on the pens?
Up the Villa
-
Trez will have the game of his life today.

He has been good defensively recently as well, I'm glad he hasn't been dropped.
-
By Salway - I mean Salah. My phone is just making up it’s own language again
-
Trez makes sense today, his running will be useful.
-
By Salway - I mean Salah. My phone is just making up it’s own language again
I see what you mean.
-
No centre back cover on the bench?
-
Oh it put one of those there too.
On the plus side, I’ll be watching the game on a trickle whilst in a taxi to the airport here.
I fully expect us to lose this, but would love to give Liverpool a scare.
-
We're light on striking options off the bench. Not that I'd be disappointed with Keinan coming off the bench to put the winner in. I'll have his full name tattooed across my ample arse if he does though.

Come on Keinan!!
-

Attack, Attack, attackattackattack
-
Elmo I guess.
-
Elmo is the centre back on the bench. Which, admittedly, is a bit terrifying.
-

Does the same apply if Ahmed Eissa Elmohamady Abdel Fattah or Mahmoud Ahmed Ibrahim Hassan gets the winner?
-
Ross to score a pearler.
-
That’s the team. Let’s give it 100 percent

None of which are KD so I’m assuming not.
-
If Targett twangs his hamstring we could see Hourihane at left back, which will be an interesting experiment.

Should this come true, I'd like to be there when you explain it to SWMBO!
-
It's alright, they're not getting in our half tonight.

My arse could handle that.
-
He's a big unit Ross, isn't he?
-
Fuck off Souness, you washed up, bitter old prick. I hope Barkley puts 6 past them now.
-
Fuck off Souness, you washed up, bitter old prick. I hope Barkley puts 6 past them now.
Agreed. I was relaxed until he just opened his mouth.
-

Agreed. I was relaxed until he just opened his mouth.
It is all a bit below him though isn’t? But I remember what a wank manager this guy was at Newcastle
-
Is ‘Carra’ on commentary? If so, will he do his usual focus on Liverpool and not comment on the oppositions tactics, quality of play etc? At least Gary Neville gives some sort of balanced commentary.
-
It could be just me but I'm shitting it as usual
-
Me too TV
-
He's a big unit Ross, isn't he?
He is indeed. I was surprised in his reveal gallery how muscular he looked especially his thighs. I assumed he was just stocky and maybe 5'9" or 5' 10" but he's 6' 2''.
-
What’s with the low camera angle???
-
No centre back cover on the bench?
Attack, Attack, attackattackattack
Go for it, Villa 👍
-
Good start, all Villa
-
Battering them so far.
-
Great start!!
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Good bright start. Ollie made a right mess of a great pass from Jack though.
-
Gtfi
-
Wooooooooooo!!!!!
-
Waouhh!!
-
Get in
-
Brilliant Villa
-
Onya Ollie!!!!!
-
GETTTT INNNNN!!!!!
-
By them time we finish with this lot they'll wish they'd sent the youth team and only got smashed by 5
-
Fookin brilliant!
-
Waouhh!!
Speak English on are forum!
-
Should be 2
-
Missed the goal again. Popped out. Dad Taxi.
-
Bad miss from Barkley.
Brilliant start though. People underestimate the levels top teams can drop if they lose a key player or two. All shown in the goal we scored.
Delight Ollie is off the mark in premier league. Weight off his shoulders.
-
We pressed them, they made a mistake, Jack and Ollie calmly converted the chance. Great stuff.
-
Shit, awful miss, hope we don't regret that.
-
That'll do. Can we have the final whistle now please?
-
Jack is a genius.
-
Souness! What's the score?
-
We're carving them open. Just need to be steady at the back. easier said than done though.
-
That header from Watkins to Jack was really clever. Nothing came of it, but just a small example of his qualities.
-
Great save from Martinez
-
Come on you Villa boys!
-
great save by goalie
-
Not a pen for me. And Salah went down way too easy.
-
Fuck off Carragher, why do we have to listen to his Scouse whining biased bollocks?
-
Carra keeps on about that 'pen'. Give it up scouse knob.
-
Fuck off Carragher, why do we have to listen to his Scouse whining biased bollocks?
It’s not just the fuck one eyed bollocks. That voice makes me want to smash glass with my bare hand
-
We started off great and now sitting back! Go for it villa! We should be pressing Adrian a lot more.
-
Fucking hell
-
McGinn just McGinned him. No pen.
-
Fuck off Carragher, why do we have to listen to his Scouse whining biased bollocks?
Yeah, sky can fuck right off with a recent Liverpool captain as the co-commentator, fucking twats.
-
Carra keeps on about that 'pen'. Give it up scouse knob.
They shouldn't allow a Scouse twat to commentate.
-
Martinez got away with that.
-
Living dangerously here.
-
Another Liverpool chance, come on Villa
-
Cash looks iffy
-
SCOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
WATKINSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
-
Ollie Ollie Ollie
-
Bloody hell!
-
Waouh aagain.
Come on Villa.
-
wtf broke my little toe on coffee table but fucking ell
-
ollllllieeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
-
Dreamland! Ollie you beauty!
-
Brilliant from Grealish to put him through and fantastic finishing.
-
What fucking goal that is
-
How much do you fucking love this team? Fuck me Villa see it through.
-
This team gives me good vibes.
-
Jesus. Get in. Just don't f**k it up.
-
Well, one thing we've learned today is that Ollie most definitely is a big game player.
-
Grealish is the best player in the world
-
Christ, is this actually happening?! Unreal!
-
This is a totally different team to last season.
Get to half time without conceding... that’s the aim now.
I’m hating the utter Liverpool bias on my river though.
-
Barkley with and without the ball has made a big difference. Proper quality
-
Grealish is the best player in the world
Stealing my line!
Still think this one will go pear-shaped, but we're showing we can cause serious damage.
-
Cracking second goal.
-
Trez barely strong enough to pull Van Dijk to his feet there!
-
Another before HT please Villa, this lot are shit.
-
This is a totally different team to last season.

I’m hating the utter Liverpool bias on my river though.
Another goal and we’re second.
-
Would be such a Villa thing to win 5-1 today with no one in the ground. Similar to that late 70s game with lack of footage.
-
We already are second.
-
Grealish is the best player in the world
Mate, you're spot on.
-
Yes Matty Cash. Block
-
Great to see our new signings contributing so much so quickly.
-
Should be 3
-
Watkins is going to be a fucking superstar for us
-
Real shame we can't get any fans in the crowd for foreseeable future with team we're building.
Our counter attacking is light years ahead of what it was last year so home games going to be lots of fun this year.
Nearly 3-0.
-
2-1 Salah
-
Wow, we look so accomplished coming forward.
-
How many chances does Barkley need? Bury them already.
-
Bloody hell Ross hope we don’t regret that.
-
Bollocks
-
I don't care he's missed a couple. Barkley is going to bring the absolute best from Jack. Proof that 'better player will make Jack look even better'.
-
Jammy bastards.
-
Cash is getting caught out a lot
-
Yeah well... They are all conquering. We have a proper team this year
-
Another Ross shot
-
Cash playing too far forward too often for me
-
could have been 3 there
-
Ooooooh fuuuck
-
This is Aston Villa everyone. We have mastered the art of the collapse. We need to find a resolve that we have not had in a very long time. This lot are the best in England and one of the best in the world. They were always going to score at some point. We need to keep attacking and we need to take the chances when they fall our way.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Oh well, 4-1 it'll have to be.
-
Get iiiiin!
-
3 1
-

What collapse? :P
-
Fucking aaaaaaaaaaaa!
-
Cash is getting caught out a lot
Yep, that was poor defending by Cash that created the chance,
And that's poor from Barkley, should've put it on a plate for Watkins, too greedy.
But there's 3! Get in McGinn!!
-
The stupid feckers annoyed us by scoring, now we'll really hammer them.
-
Cash playing too far forward too often for me
He is. And possibly lacks Guilbert knack of getting a last ditch tackle in.
-
GETTTTTT INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
And another! 3-1. Jammy but who gives a shit?
-
We've got McGinn ...
-
I don't care he's missed a couple. Barkley is going to bring the absolute best from Jack. Proof that 'better player will make Jack look even better'.
Yep, and let's not forget Barcley isn't match sharp yet. Once he gets up to speed, it's gonna but fun!
And as I write, SJfkinM!!!!
-
HAHAHAH yes!
-
Was going in anyway
-
Well, fuck my old boots!

I'm still dreaming a dream for now, Toronto Villa, though I agree with you! ;)
-
Waouh and again and again..
-
Fucking hell Villa. What the hell is happening. Incredible. Just incredible

Bet365 been taking notes...Liverpool still only 4/1 to win this.
Vital we keep the 3-1 to half time. Not saying no to a 4th though!
-
We should have 6, ffs, this is ace.
-
Is there a button to turn Carrragher off but keep the crowd noise on?
-
loving Barkley already
-
We should have scored 5 goal already.
-
Fair enough Carragher, saying we'd deserved that bit of luck.
Barkley's been terrific apart from missing two chances, which is frustrating! But still, great stuff all round.
Unreal scoreline.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Ollieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
-
4-1 it is.....
-
Blimey! Just got back home and I've missed another three goals. Great stuff. Apart from theirs, obviously.
-
VAR may make it 3-1
-
Muck fe! 4 now.
-
Oh, my days.
-
It stands!
-
OMG.
-
YEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
-
WTF!
-
Shit the bed! What the fuck's going on? Apart from us tearing them a new one, obviously.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I love you. Any I want to have your children.
-
I just screamed and scared the shit out of my kids
-
Blimey! Just got back home and I've missed another three goals. Great stuff. Apart from theirs, obviously.
You know I love you but any chance you can eff off please Leeg!
-
Back off out. See you later. Keep it up, Villa.
-
I can't believe it.
Come on Villa.
-
Fuck. Ollie's got the matchball!
This is unbelievable. It will be all the more painful when we lose 5-4, but right now I'm high as a kite!
-
This is nuts.
-
Dean Smith.
I love you.
Everything I ever said against you was wrong.
I don't even care if this one goes wrong, even from here - this is the kind of half we have dreamed about for absolutely years.
Fucking wonderful.
-
Its getting to 1976 levels
-
I just screamed and scared the shit out of my kids
I was just upstairs reassuring my daughter that daddy is very happy, came back down and we've scored again!
-
Best half since when ... ? Struggling here
-
For those of us who don't remember the game in 76....
-
We need this same energy for the second half because it's going to be brutal.
-
I just screamed and scared the shit out of my kids
I was just upstairs reassuring my daughter that daddy is very happy, came back down and we've scored again!
Haha I reached an octave that has me questioning my manhood
-
I just screamed and scared the shit out of my kids

I'm getting stern looks from my wife.
-
What on earth am I watching?????
-
Holy. Fucking. Shit.
-
Is Carra reporting for Merseyside radio? So biased
-
The great thing is we have So many players on the pitch who can dig in here, not just in defence
-
I Claim all credit. I’ve been in Gaucho for food.
I might have another drink.
-
Best half since when ... ? Struggling here
Oddly enough, Liverpool at home 5-1
-
Is Carra reporting for Merseyside radio? So biased
I did like the little swipe about how the referee and VAR disagreed with him about the SJM ‘penalty’
-
Is Carra reporting for Merseyside radio? So biased
He can't hide his disappointment, but neither could I in his position. I think he was fair enough on our third goal.
-
All we need now is someone to help Dean stop gurning on the tpuchline
-
I bloody love this club
-
Half tempted to bring on Davis at half time here.
If he can't score today he never will.
This is like when a fruit machine gives up and just wants to pay out.
-
our goalie is ace too
-
Souness and Carra can shove this where the sun don’t shine.
This is fantastic!!!
-

No thanks.
-
Bring Elmo on for Cash. Jota and Robinson look dangerous against Cash.
-
Cash needs to get closer to Robertson.
-
Strike me pink!
-
HT.
Disappointed it's only 4 but sets us up to play properly in the second half.
-
Bring Elmo on for Cash. Jota and Robinson look dangerous against Cash.
They'd probably look even more dangerous against Elmo - they're just very good attacking players. I think Cash is handling them admirably considering.
-
That was decent.
-
Is Carra reporting for Merseyside radio? So biased
He can't hide his disappointment, but neither could I in his position. I think he was fair enough on our third goal.
What was supposedly wrong with our 3rd?
-
Disappointing - should of had 6 or 7
-
Not quite 5-1 at half time and a hat trick but it will do. European Champions in 7 yrs rather than 5?
-
Time to eat humble pie. Sorry olly your the don
-

Offside, I think.
-
We actually should have!
-
Unbelievable half. Best half of football we've played in arguably 20 years, maybe more. The point is now to concentrate - Liverpool are the most dangerous side in the world when they get on a roll, so we mustn't drop our heads if they score one as it could turn into five before you know it. But also - fucking hell. Jesus. Incredible.
-
Sublime.
But it’s not over - we saw Chelsea score 3 second half goals last week against the Baggies so we need to be very much on our game again second half.
-
Could easily have been six.
-
Martinez has been brilliant as well, apart from the one dodgy pass. Such a reassuring presence.
-
It just about makes up for the poor display and result against Stoke.
-
Half tempted to bring on Davis at half time here.
If he can't score today he never will.
Who?
-
Sourness did say Liverpool had to make sure they didn’t slip up against the small clubs. Cheeky fucker.
-
Bring Elmo on for Cash. Jota and Robinson look dangerous against Cash.
Both our full backs look poor defensively. Why can't Mings kick the ball with his right foot? Luiz having a horror show too...
And we really should be 6 up at half time against the champions!
-
Incredible, we look very good going forward. Link up play between Jack, Ross and Ollie Watkins looks fantastic.
Barkey could have had 3 alone in that half.
-
That was a first half demolition job not seen since the late 1970's.
We need to see it through the first 15 of the second half are crucial we must fight hard not to conceed
-
Umber lievable, why am i still shitting myself?
-
Is Carra reporting for Merseyside radio? So biased

Offside, I think.
McGinn wasn't, and it hit van Dyk on the way in. Perfectly fine.
-
Typical that as we embark on European domination that we can go and see it.
-
That’s the only downside for me in that half. Cash is getting turned inside out, looks Freddie esque in his loose defending
-
I don't know know where to begin with that. Disappointed it's only 4 to be honest. Best half of football in what, 3 decades?
-
I think that might be the best half of football I've ever seen from us, we wouldn't be flattered if we'd got a couple more.
-
Bloody brilliant. Barkley playing very well, superb hattrick, Grealish his usual self, defence doing well. Great goalkeeper. Targett having a good game.
Please keep this up Villa. Feel a lot better about resting players in the cup now!
-
We've been starved of this sort of thing for so long now, I can't quite believe it's back.
-
No doubt Souness will sit there and slag off Barkley.
-
Dean Smith.
I love you.
Everything I ever said against you was wrong.
I don't even care if this one goes wrong, even from here - this is the kind of half we have dreamed about for absolutely years.
Fucking wonderful.
Amen, whatever happens we have served notice.
Villa are back.
-
Umber lievable, why am i still shitting myself?
I'm the same. It's the last 10 years. A small (but not insignificant) part if me is convinced we're going to throw it away!
-
Umber lievable, why am i still shitting myself?
You're a Villa fan! It never leaves you!
-
Looking forward to watching Aston Villa 4-5 Liverpool on Premier League's greatest games in 10 years time.
-
If we can keep a clean sheet for the second half and score 2 I will retire from watching football and die a happy man remembering the day Salford got tonked by the same score as we beat the scousers. But as it’s Villa we will probably lose 4-5 and I will be condemned to watching us for another 30 years.
But seriously, that’s one of the best halves I’ve seen us play in the last two decades.
Bollocks , wrong thread , but who cares ? Loving it :)
-
They are going to come out all guns blazing.
I can see them bringing on Henderson and Origi at HT.
-
A lovely half. More please, Villa.
-
Best half since when ... ? Struggling here
Oddly enough, Liverpool at home 5-1
Derby 4-0 was pretty good 18 months back but vast difference in quality of opposition of course.
-
I think that might be the best half of football I've ever seen from us, we wouldn't be flattered if we'd got a couple more.
Me too I think
-
Oh here we go. 10 minutes of wanking over Leeds on RMC Sports. What about showing our goals again you ******?
-
Fuck
In the 5-1 all the villa goals were scored at the Witton end by half time
lets put some in the Holte
-
I feel like I should know but what happens to the ball if there are more than one hat trick scorer?
-
Jack looks as good as anyone in the division right now. Majestic, and I can see the signs of him and Barkley already striking a chord. Likewise Watkins and Grealish have got a good cohesion too. Trezeguet I have to say is also looking the part. He's come on very well considering he was much maligned up to january. He works very hard, but he's been putting great balls in the box.
That's as good a half from us as I can remember in a long time. We're gonna win the league now surely?
I'm absolutely delighted for Watkins too. He's deserved a goal as he's done a lot of good work in the first two games. Well he's got 3 (and counting...today). Great finishes too. His second particularly was great because he started the attack off with some clever hold up play.
-
A lovely half. More please, Villa.
That’s very reserved Sir!
-
Bloody hell, that was pretty unbelievable stuff. It was like a boxing match where the two fighters just go for it from the first bell and it looks like one of them could get knocked out at any time.
We have been excellent going forward, but look massively exposed down our right side. Trezeguet has been great going forward, but is leaving Cash too exposed.
Goodness knows what the next 45.minutes will bring.
-
Souness is getting battered on Twitter by fans of alll clubs.
-
I'm in dreamland!
Focus up and see the game out. Or humble them like no one in living memory has!
-
They are going to come out all guns blazing.
I can see them bringing on Henderson and Origi at HT.
Henderson's scored 9 goals in 5 years.
-
Souness is getting battered on Twitter by fans of alll clubs.
He's just talking shit all the time that's why. Arsehole.
-
Agreed supertom, Jack has been simply amazing today. His jink and pass to set up Barkley's first chance was like Figo at his peak.
-
That front 3 looks bloody lethal. When Ross gets his shooting boots on we’ll rip some teams a new arsehole on the break.
-
Umber lievable, why am i still shitting myself?
I'm the same. It's the last 10 years. A small (but not insignificant) part if me is convinced we're going to throw it away!
If I'm honest, I'm fully expecting us to throw it away. It's the Villa.
-
I've been watching on catch up so not been up to speed on here and been avoiding notifications on my phone..
Funnily enough now I'm caught up all my Liverpool supporting mates have gone very, very quiet!
-
Watkins played like peak Vardy tonight.
He gives us so much more on the counter attack than any forward we've had since Benteke (Tammy was more box player when we dominated games).
Will be huge for us in these type of games going forward.
-
But it’s that lovely bit where we know we’ll throw it away but we haven’t yet
-
Oh and how fucking shit, we've conceded a goal FFS.
-
Umber lievable, why am i still shitting myself?
I'm the same. It's the last 10 years. A small (but not insignificant) part if me is convinced we're going to throw it away!
If I'm honest, I'm fully expecting us to throw it away. It's the Villa.
Exactly. I remember the 4-4 with Leicester. I was so angry when I walked out, I smashed the metal door on the way out of Villa Park. The door won.
Don’t concede in the first ten minutes now, don’t give them a sniff.
-
Hope we don’t sit back now as still look a bit iffy defensively. They seem to be trying to target Matty Cash tonight. Come on you lions!!
-
Perfect hat trick for Ollie, against Liverpool. What a fucking lad!
-
Oh and how fucking shit, we've conceded a goal FFS.
Smith out.
-
Agreed supertom, Jack has been simply amazing today. His jink and pass to set up Barkley's first chance was like Figo at his peak.
For once he's playing a disciplined role. Joyous to watch.

TalkSport have just played ‘I’ll be there’, my absolute favourite
This is not over :)
-
The longest 45 minutes of your lives coming up.
-
Exactly. I remember the 4-4 with Leicester. I was so angry when I walked out, I smashed the metal door on the way out of Villa Park. The door won.
Don’t concede in the first ten minutes now, don’t give them a sniff.
That and the 4-4 with Spuds when Marlon Fucking Harewood chucked it all away. Will take a couple of extra goals second half so I can relax perhaps 1%.
-
So far so brilliant!
-
Looking forward to watching Aston Villa 4-5 Liverpool on Premier League's greatest games in 10 years time.
Haha I was just thinking this.
Fuck it though, we are definitely back.
Oh, and Watkins is going to play for England at some point. No doubt about that.
-
Remember 1976
-
Fuck
In the 5-1 all the villa goals were scored at the Witton end by half time
lets put some in the Holte
The 5 goals were at the Witton end - and Liverpool were European Champs at the time.
So this is not the best half some of us old gits have seen against them.
Second hald Emlyn Hughes played like a mad man to stop us scoring again.
-
Agreed supertom, Jack has been simply amazing today. His jink and pass to set up Barkley's first chance was like Figo at his peak.
For once he's playing a disciplined role. Joyous to watch.
Best English footballer for a generation. He'll enjoy looking at the table tomorrow and seeing where Man U are.
-
Hope we don’t sit back now as still look a bit iffy defensively. They seem to be trying to target Matty Cash tonight. Come on you lions!!
You know a match thread is going well when Targett hasn't been slagged off once!
Minamino on for Kieta for them.
-
But it’s that lovely bit where we know we’ll throw it away but we haven’t yet
This gets my vote for Most Villa Post of 2020.

Fucking quite.
-
Minnie Mouse on for Katy for them.
I'm not greedy, i'll settle for us only scoring 3 more second half.
-
Souness blaming the pitch now.
-
And Souness bleating about the length of the grass! Haha
-

The Happy Birthday game?
-
And Souness bleating about the length of the grass! Haha
Hahahaha.
-
That’s the only downside for me in that half. Cash is getting turned inside out, looks Freddie esque in his loose defending
All over the place....need Trez a lot more disciplined in the second half to give him support. Luiz has been dreadful too. I'm actually still quite worried.
Watkins gives us huge threat on the counter. Jack has been different class....getting better and better.
-
Apparently the grass is too long according to Sour arse. FFS clutching at straws aren’t we?
-
And Souness bleating about the length of the grass! Haha
He used to be a decent pundit but way past his sell by date now.
Not sure I'd say that to his face though!
-
Liverpool are going to come at us. On the break we have end this game. We are more than capable
-
And Souness bleating about the length of the grass! Haha
Priceless. It has stopped Liverpool's passing game apparently. We seem to be passing the ball okay though.
-
Cheap yellow card Luiz.
-
Remember 1976
I would but I was 3 days old.
-
Lively ball from Targett to Jack just after kick off.
-
the good thing its not all coming trough Jack , Ross is making a difference taking the pressure off
-
My other half is a Liverpool supporter and has retreated to the other end of the room!
-
I think I’d be more nervous if I wasn’t halfway through a second bottle of wine!
-
Watkins is just brilliant so far!
-
Watkins has utterly taken the piss out of Gomez today.
-
I think I’d be more nervous if I wasn’t halfway through a second bottle of wine!
I'm on beer but you'd think I'd found an oasis having been stuck in the desert for a week.
-
Watkins is so good.
I love it.k
-
Spirit of Istanbul can fuck off.
-
What's this 'not scoring for so long' shit?
-
SCCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
What's this 'not scoring for so long' shit?
Took their fucking time
-
Spirit of Istanbul can fuck off.
Fuck that!.... Ain't happening now...
-
Spirit of Istanbul can fuck off.
Samagoal!!
-
Fucking Ross fucking Barkleyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
-
watkins hold up play is excellent
-
fuck me 5 1
-
ROSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
FUCKING HAVE IT
-
Absolute carnage. I'm fucking loving it.
-
C’mon
-
Barkleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey! 5-1!!!!!
-
SCCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Spoiler alert!
Does your fibre optic internet somehow travel faster than light?
This day just gets better and better btw :-)
-
YeSSSS!! 4th time lucky!
-
get the fuck in. again!
-
The Spirit of '76
-
I'm going to wake up soon and find this is all a dream!
-
I can’t believe Jack hasn’t scored. Overrated
-
Fuck me this is just the best thing ever!
-
Barkleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey! 5-1!!!!!
Barkley was taking the piss with that one. Took his time and teed up a trick shot.
-
You're all on a wind-up, aren't you?
-
I am loving that.k
-
Two seasons in a row we put 5 past them ....
-
The best thing about this is that a couple of the unfashionable players, in Targett and Trez, have been immense, both have worked so hard to set the platform.
-
Two seasons in a row we put 5 past them ....
Can we play you every week...
-
Think we need to make a Bid for Robertson in the morning.
-
You're all on a wind-up, aren't you?
Why do you ask? Have you broke your telly? ;)
-
5-2 Salah
-
I’d like to see Traore given a run soon. That’s the last thing they are going to want
-
Forgot we were playing. Fuck me! Why do I not think we will hold on?
-
Shite.
-
Two seasons in a row we put 5 past them ....
Just shows how good their their kids are - as good as the first team.
-
This is hilarious.
Imagine if we actually beat them by bigger scoreline than the one their under 10s got in December.
5-2. Salah.
-
Bollocks
-
I clearly remember being 4-0 up in 1976 and still bricking it, and thought my worst fears were confirmed when Ray Kennedy got one back. Even when we got a 5th I was convinced they were going to come back. I feel like that now. That said, in 76 we could have had another hatful second half.
-
Settle the fuck down Villa. Mings has to get closer to him.
-
So far the biggest thing for me is how much this underlines the importance of having a bloody good 'keeper. Martinez has played excellently, whereas theirs made a total rick in the first 5 minutes and they've fallen apart at the back.
Damn, Salah with their second. But not much Martinez could do.
-
Shit. Don't let them back in it FFS.
-
Shit.
-
6-2 Everton game 89-90 season comes to mind.
-
We switched off there.
-
Watkins has seen Gomez off, looked very average tonight.
-
The best thing about this is that a couple of the unfashionable players, in Targett and Trez, have been immense, both have worked so hard to set the platform.
Team players, mate.
Trez could be a bit of an unsung hero this season.
Targett you have to look at the positives he brings
-
6-2 Everton game comes to mind.
Ruined the end of the game with those two late goals. Was superb until then. Tony Daley’s flying goal. Sid was magical.
-
Felt like we'd relaxed before that one went in. Need to stay on it. Keep doing what we've been doing.
-
Mings should have done much better for their second.
-
I hope this is going to be the opposite of 'The St Valentine's Day Massacre'!!!
-
Carragher is a true defender. He is more worried about how many Liverpool might go on to concede.
-
We need 6 or 7
-
Need to wake up, we won't win the league if we defend like this against better sides.
-
We need 6 or 7
Yep. There's still way too much time left.
-
Matty Cash literally throws himself into everything. Love it
-
Need to wake up, we won't win the league if we defend like this against better sides.
We must keep our composure, even against the smaller teams in this division.
Which is all of them, compared to us at least.
-
Time now for a sub or two to slow things down.
Don't really see the need for end to end when we're 5-2 up and tiring a bit now.
-
Ezri Konsa is a lovely footballer
-
SCCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
6-2 Everton game comes to mind.
Ruined the end of the game with those two late goals. Was superb until then. Tony Daley’s flying goal. Sid was magical.
I think that day Everton were either top of the table or a win could have taken them to of the table. They had made a good start to the season.
-
Hahahahhahahahahahahahabababababababababa
-
OMFG.
-
O.k time for subs at 6-2!
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
-
6 2
-
There we go.
-
This is fucking pornography
-
We're beating them at their own game here as well, the pressure we're putting on their defenders is forcing so many mistakes and seeing us win the ball in their half over and over again.
On man of the match, Watkins will get it, a hattrick against the holders pretty much guarantees that, but Grealish has been sublime, he's right in the worldie category now, and there's his goal as a reward!!
6 fucking 2.
-
Still a lot of time left. I am still shitting myself
-
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah get in jack
-
Hahahahhahahahahahahahabababababababababa
Credit to Klopp, even he finds funny

6-2 haha. Fuck off Yosser!
-
We want 10
-
Ha! More shit defending and 6-2.
-
Milner on to close out the 6-2.
-
Imagine if VP would have been full of fans...!
-
How good do Grealish and Barkley look together? Both on exactly the same wavelength out there. Unbelieveable stuff all round.
-
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ejgl1R-X0AUtK6-?format=jpg&name=small)
-
Milner on to close out the 6-2.
Yep. Solidify the middle. They don’t want to concede any more than the two or they’ll be letting us back in.
Oh...
-
The goal difference could be crucial at the end of the season. Keep it on the boil.
-
it’s ridiculous being a Villa fan
6-2 and literally running the game from the off
And I’m still nervous
-

HAD been. Drives me nuts that one.

Tony Daley's flying goal was in the 2-0 win the season before.
-

I get the feeling the players are loving the empty stands, shackles off and all that. Of course atmosphere is still missed for historic match like this though.
-
it’s ridiculous being a Villa fan
6-2 and literally running the game from the off

Me too. Every time they get the ball.
-
Liverpool bring a defender on for a forward to defend there loss
-
Good first set.
-
I'll be having sex later tonight, but the missus is going to have to pull out all the stops to beat this.
-
I reckon even Keinan could score against this shower.
-
I love you all.
-
Should be 7, fucking useless
-
How good do Grealish and Barkley look together? Both on exactly the same wavelength out there. Unbelieveable stuff all round.

Jack has been looking for people to make these runs for the last 18months and it jusrt hasn't happened enough, with Watkins and Barkley both gambling on him finding them he's sparkling.

That’s the one thing Conor cannot do as much as he gets into a lot great positions. He’s never going to be that driving runner from the middle that Barkley will be
-
I love you all.
I love you too. WM bull shit stats saying last 6 goal league victory was derby 2008. What about Sunderland 2013?

SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Aston Villa 7 (Seven) Liverpool 2.
-
When will this end???
-
The Magnificent Seven
-
I’m fucking crying
-
I said I wanted 7 (seven) but never thought it would be against this lot!!
-
Fucking brilliant SJM - Jack combo once again.
-
We could still lose this.
-
HOLYYYY SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
One more please. Want to beat them by a bigger margin than their youth squad last season. Kienan to hopefully round off the scoring.
-
Lol.
-
What will Southgate say about Mason Mount tonight?
-
Easy
-
I can't get my head round this at all. It's like being released from some hellhole internment camp and then given a million quid.
Justifies Dean's decision v Stoke good and proper.
-
What will Southgate say about Mason Mount tonight?
Arf
-
I’d like take credit for this with my 100% start to league match threads
-
This still feels odd
-
What will Southgate say about Mason Mount tonight?
Arf
Haha
-
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?
-
When was the last time we scored 7 in a game?
-
For the hundreds on here who for last 7 years said we're due to thrash someone....here it is ladies and gentleman.
-
WE WANT 8! WE WANT 8!
-
This is fucking insane.
-
This is f%$king fantastic, what a game.
We want 10 ;D
-
I’m still worried
-
All round to Drummond's for a wankathon!
-
This is unbelievable I so wish I was there tonight.
-
fuck it...just give us the title now
-
When was the last time we scored 7 in a game?
Wimbledon, 94/95?
-
Early reports of broken house windows and smashed up television sets lining the streets of Small Heath and Bordesley Green.
-
When was the last time we scored 7 in a game?
When was the last time we scored 7in October?
-
Not going to get carried away, I'd take a Champions League spot if you offered it now.
-
Early reports of broken house windows and smashed up television sets lining the streets of Small Heath and Bordesley Green.
Is that really news?
-
a few minutes ago there was a turn in the centre circle by McGinn that was so dirty the game broke watershed regulations.
-
The big question for the media will be...just how do we stack up against Leeds?
-
I'll be having sex later tonight, but the missus is going to have to pull out all the stops to beat this.
My Mrs is at work.... So I get a celebratory wank... Even better!
Match of the Day rather than Pornhub I hope!
Exactly. This is never, ever, being deleted from my Sky box.
-
Most of their team is shit, 3 easy points.
By them time we finish with this lot they'll wish they'd sent the youth team and only got smashed by 5
Nostradamus me.
-
View from the slum dwellers.
“Sorry Rab, the luck here is unbelievable. From 2 of their best players having Covid and their GK injured before the game, to scoring 3 deflections and Adrian channeling his inner Camp.”
Lucky Bastards aren’t we?
-
The most incredible game we couldn’t attend.
Seven up, anyone for an after eight?
-
Ross is slowly waking up and getting some match pace...
Jack is clearly inspired by having Ross in the team...
-
Disappointing subs. Wanted Davis and Traore. It's fill yer boots time.
-
Where will Rashica fit in to this?
-
The big question for the media will be...just how do we stack up against Leeds?
We will be a sloppy second to Leeds and and Mason Mount
-
8 has a better ring to it.
-
When was the last time we scored 7 in a game?
Wimbledon, 94/95?
Just before Christmas. Plenty of "Merry Christmas Wimbledon, merry Christmas Wimbledon" chants.
-
Where will Rashica fit in to this?
Rashica heard about this result and he’s on his way to the airport right now
-
This is unbelievable I so wish I was there tonight.
Don't we all! :'( :'( :'(
Typical Villa to play this game during a global pandemic!
-
Disappointing subs. Wanted Davis and Traore. It's fill yer boots time.
Yeah, me too
-
Don't forget you have to type the word seven after 7 (seven).
-
Lovely shot by Marv
-
When was the last time we scored 7 in a game?
Wimbledon, 94/95?
Just before Christmas. Plenty of "Merry Christmas Wimbledon, merry Christmas Wimbledon" chants.
That was the 5-1.
-
I'd have taken Ollie and Jack off to be honest. We've thrashed them, let's make sure they don't get injured.
-
I did say earlier at 5 I believe that I felt Jack had let us down not scoring
Thank you Jack for responding appropriately
-
Even Marv fancies his chances of scoring against this lot.
-
Just ordered a kebab to celebrate - fuck it
-
Missus has put something in my tea.
-
I still think the grass i is too long....giggle.
-
Just ordered a kebab to celebrate - fuck it
Fuck. I do miss a good kebab with lashings of hot sauce.
-
Should be 8.
-
I have friends who for some reason support the Dippers, and I am currently ripping them a new one on FB. It feels fucking amazing.
-
Fuck me Ollie off the bar
-
This could and should have been 10.
-
that shouldhave been 8
-
BARRR!!! bastards
-
There's a chance i'll watch Match of the Day later.
-
10 wouldn't have flattered us at all
-
My alarm will go off in a minute and it will be time to get up. This isn't real is it?
-
Andy Townsend commentating is enjoying himself while trying his hardest to remain impartial
-
Has anyone ever scored a hat trick and then been dropped for poor play?
-
Villa only scoring 7 flatters Liverpool.
Now imagine someone saying that to you yesterday.
-
Bertie on
Fair fucking play to Trez. He was very good tonight
-
This match thread needs archiving for those bleak days that will inevitably come somewhere down the track.
-
Well played Trez
-
Don't forget you have to type the word seven after 7 (seven).
(https://i.ibb.co/DzsFNWy/Screenshot-2020-10-04-at-21-03-20.png) (https://ibb.co/DzsFNWy)
Well done Beeb, just like that!
-
Tres played well today
-
7 is the most I've seen us score in a game. Come on villa let's do the 8.
-
Trez's work rate has been immense, yet again.
-
Can someone do a This is Sparta gif with Villa and Liverpool
-
It seems silly and obvious when the team has scored 7 to say that players have been excellent, but McGinn seems to have been almost indecently good this half.
-
Tres played well today
And.you know who else? Targett.
-
Well played Trez
The Egyptian Des Brenner was superb tonight.
-
Still so nervous!!!
-
Bloody hell Jimmy, you could have switched off for once
-
Still so nervous!!!
I'm going to stick my neck out and say I'm confident.
-
I am not nervous. This is a weird feeling.
-
could easily have been 11
-
You know that 'sooner or later we're going to give someone a hiding'? Hey presto!
-
Time for McGinn’s arse
-
We might win this now
-
Someone is setting fireworks off by me.
-
When was the last time we scored seven?
-
🦁 7 (seven) - 2 🚮
-
When was the last time we scored seven?
Wimbledon?
-
Just took a screen shot of the score.
Best Sunday EVER.
-
WTAF?! 😳😱😂
-
FFS should be at least 7 minutes added on here to give us more time to get to double figures. Atkinson you t***er.
-
I just want this game to last forever. We are destroying the champions.

-
I think my sphincter finally relaxed when the 6th went in.
-
Haha! The most cynical foul you'll ever see by Marvellous on Salah, and he high-fives the defender behind him afterwards!
-
FT.
Two goals conceded makes it feel like a defeat to be honest.
-
Yeeeeeeees!
-
Aston Villa 7 (SEVEN)-2 Liverpool
Villa edge champions Liverpool.
-
Fuck off Souness, you washed up, bitter old prick. I hope Barkley puts 6 past them now.
Wrong
-
I love you all.
I love you too. WM bull shit stats saying last 6 goal league victory was derby 2008. What about Sunderland 2013?
I love you all.
