-
Interesting.
Us, not them. Nothing about them is interesting.
-
Like it. Ings deservedly out, Buendia deservedly in.
Will Luiz be the base of the diamond?
-
Surprised as I'd have thought coutinhos strengths would have suited tonight and buendias strengths would have suited Sunday
-
Let's see what Chukwuemeka is all about then - big chance for him
-
Win please Villa.
-
I see ice cream gets a start for them.
-
What happened to Nakamba?
-
What happened to Nakamba?
Did you see the Palace game?
In all fairness I...I don't know.
-
What happened to Nakamba?
Did you see the Palace game?
In all fairness I...I don't know.
Just the second half. He has been the next coming since his return according to some. ;-)
-
Nakamba hasn't been back that long, perhaps they're just being cautious.
-
Chukwuemeka and Buendia as 10s? I'm still not sure what Chuk's position is.
-
I'm never gonna see Coutinho and Buendia in the same team from the start, am I?
-

And Keinan Davis. Our best player
-
What happened to Nakamba?
Looks like players are being rested for Sunday. Not because of SG's Liverpool connection, but because it's a Thursday/ Sunday turnaround.
-
Chukwuemeka and Buendia as 10s? I'm still not sure what Chuk's position is.
Same. That's why him starting is pretty exciting - we should hopefully get a decent view of him in a way you just don't get from a 15 minute cameo.
-
Come on Villa, FFS, we can't string three passes together!
-
Come on Villa, FFS, we can't string three passes together!
Time machine?
-
Come on Villa, FFS, we can't string three passes together!
Did you see how they warmed up? Gerrard out
-
A win and nothing else. I like the line up. Come on Buendia show us you deserve to start.
-
Come on Villa, FFS, we can't string three passes together!
Time machine?
Like a good singer or orator he’s just getting his pipes in proper working order for what is to come.
-
FFS, Luiz is no good to us playing that deep!
-
Stop fucking around unnecessarily at the back!
-
How many good chances does Watkins miss FFS?
-
Buendia needs to start every game, why can't SG see this?
-
15th is nowhere near acceptable.
-
Play like this on Sunday and they'll run up a cricket score.
-
You got a crystal ball PW?
-
There you go, oven-ready match thread comments. Help yourselves.
-
You got a crystal ball PW?
Not needed!
-
There you go, oven-ready match thread comments. Help yourselves.
It's an interesting approach, and not without merits. Get your business done early doors, giving the negative comments time to bed in and hit the ground running.
-
Are we just trying to make sure Chukwuemeka signs a new deal?
I don't mind the changes but I think we've seen enough to know Dougie cant play that holding role.
-
FFS!
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Ollie
only 3-1 down now. There is still time boys
-
FFS!
Have Burnley scored already? I'm on a delay.
-
Glad Chuk is in at the start!
And Ramsey with Watkins and Emi; what an exciting beat combo as 60s LP sleeve notes used to say!
Come ooooon, Villa!
-
Happy with the team particularly Buendia, hopefully he's gonna control the midfield, good luck to Chuk as well. Villa 2 nil
-
You got a crystal ball PW?
Not needed!
Ha ha indeed
-
I'm never gonna see Coutinho and Buendia in the same team from the start, am I?
Probably not. They are both great play makers but unless we dropped Mc Ginn I can't see them both starting.
-
Interesting line up I like it let’s see how it goes
-
I love this reverse match thread. Buendia starts in the future of this reverse thread. Can't wait to have just seen him about to ripped Burnley apart.
-
Let's just fuck the filthy fucking fuckers.
We owe them big style for Wesley.
We haven't really rolled any body over this season.
Let's end on a flourish.
-
Good line up.
-
Burnley look like a disaster waiting to happen at the back. Good start by us
-
Any rivers?
-
Surely that’s a foul on Mings
-
That’s a fucking red card. Barnes you dirty ******
-
Looked a nasty elbow by Barnes.
-
Fuck off Barnes you clogger
-
Should be a red
-
Well there's a red card completely ignored then, good old consistent VAR
-
Not even a foul, ffs, shows what we are in for tonight
-
How's that not a red
-
Not even a foul. De ja vu
-
Not even a yellow
-
What a wanker that's a straight red.
-
"Check complete" - what a shambles. A clear and obvious elbow thrown into the face of an English international.
THIS is why not a SINGLE English VAR official was named to the World Cup. Disgusting.
-
Red all day
-
Should be a red
Tyrone will go for revenge and the card will be issued.
-
Barnes was lucky to get away with that, Whers VAR?
-
We all know if that was against a sky 6 side it's a red all day long.
-
That is a disgrace. That is as blatant a red card for an elbow as you can get.
-
Pathetic from the ref, fucking coward and the VAR officials back him up, of course.
-
I can’t believe that VAR didn’t recommend another look at that challenge
-
Burnley are dirty bastards
-
We need to funeral the ******.
-
They are a dirty bunch of cloggers.
-
Another one left on JJ
-
Let’s stick it up the bReXiT wankers
-
I can’t believe that VAR didn’t recommend another look at that challenge
It did. That is what makes it worse.
-
Too many long balls so far for my liking
-
Fuck it changed my mind, this bunch of dirty c**ts are a blight on league, I hope they go down and disappear for a long time,
-
I can’t believe that VAR didn’t recommend another look at that challenge
It did. That is what makes it worse.
VAR checked it but didn’t recommend the ref take a look himself
-
Ref needs to card some of these fuckers
-

It did. That is what makes it worse.
VAR checked it but didn’t recommend the ref take a look himself
Aye, sorry I missed Alan's point.
-
The way we play we simply don’t take enough shots on goal.
-
How many fouls ref?
-
Are they not going to get any yellows? Constantly fouling us
-
They’re a bit dirty aren’t they??
-
Long balls to a lone striker against three big CB’s isn’t going to work.
-
So not worthy of serious foul play but if they score can play be brought back as it was for us at Manu. If not a clear foul surely is a clear and obvious error
-
Chuke is a bit lost atm
-
Crosses from the left coming in from too deep. Need to get to the bye line.
-
What a save by Pope.
-
Nice try by SJM. Good save
-
Ooooooh! McGinn
-
Looking lively.
-
Ref needs to card some of these fuckers
First meaty challenge from us will see a card brandished. You watch.
-
77% possession. 1 shot. We need to take advantage of how shit they are.
-
Carney is maybe a little but too laid back at times - overconfident?
-
Chuck not really in the game
-
Chambers lively.
-
Chuck not really in the game
I need to be convinced that he’s as good as he thinks he is.
-
Chambers lively.
Been good for us while playing
-
Cashy! Good lad.
-
Fucking hell. Cash saved us then.
-
Cash!! What a save
-
Have our fans gone for chips and gravy? It's like the Emirates.
-
Well if Everton are going to save Leeds anyway, we might as well win, I suppose.
-
Palace 2 ahead now.
-
Hahaha Everton 2-0 down at home to Palace
-
Ayew as well!
-
Useless Scouse bellends.
-
Ramsey on the left is completely wasted. He needs to be more central
-
Good try Matty
-
Burnley are absolutely shocking. If it wasn't for the fact it would be funnier if Leeds or Everton went down, I would love them to go.
-
Dull as ditchwater
-
McGinn is using his fat arse very well today.
-
Burnley are absolutely shocking. If it wasn't for the fact it would be funnier if Leeds or Everton went down, I would love them to go.
Yeah, agree
Everton currently imploding hilariously, mind.

Yup, this is definitely the right take.
-
Dull as ditchwater
It really isn’t. We’ve played well. We don’t have a lot in the final third but it’s hardly been dull.
-
How many more cynical fouls before we see a yellow?
-
Great save by Pope there, unfortunately for us.
-
Fuck me what a shot by SJM and an amazing save again
-
McGinn is using his fat arse very well today.
Yes. Good bumwork. And a shot on target there.
-
Great effort by SJM.
-
I fucking love Buendia.
-
Creating chances. This is basically a training exercise for us in breaking down 10 men behind the ball. Carney needs to do more to break the lines and be proactive off the ball for me.
-
If Burnley are playing in the Championship next season, their keeper definitely won't be.
-
If only we had a set piece coach to take advantage of all of these corners
-
If Burnley are playing in the Championship next season, their keeper definitely won't be.
Pope is superb.
-
Is it just me, or is Carney stopping fluent play in midfield?
-
I can't see the hunger in Chucky.
-
I thought accidental handball - as that clearly was - isn't a foul. Only if its Villa eh?
-
Potentially unpopular opinion.
Chukwuemeka looks out of his depth.
-
I can't see the hunger in Chucky.
I don't think it's a lack of hunger, it looks more as though he isn't moving in intelligent ways to create space from his position. Looks a bit lost in this left channel
-
Potentially unpopular opinion.
Chukwuemeka looks out of his depth.
Agreed
-
Not one yellow card yet for them
-
8 fouls to 1, c'mon ref get a grip.
-
Potentially unpopular opinion.
Chukwuemeka looks out of his depth.
I suggested that earlier. I’m not sure what all the fuss is about
-
Potentially unpopular opinion.
Chukwuemeka looks out of his depth.
What we have seen from his off pitch mentality, I can't see why we should start him. Performance now supports that
-
Chuk gives it away again.
-
Potentially unpopular opinion.
Chukwuemeka looks out of his depth.
Agreed
Let the Germans have him. Meh!
-
First time Cash gets a cross in its a good one.
-
Looks hesitant in the same way Ramsey was last season.
-
Chuk gives it away again.
And again.
-
Chuck not really in the game
Good to see him get a chance tonight, but I don't understand his role?
Needs a full season in the Championship, like most young players do, to develop.
Honestly can't see any CL Premier League club coming in for him.
-
Looks hesitant in the same way Ramsey was last season.
That's how I see it too. Is he a specialist defensive midfielder?
-
Ramsey not in the game enough
Watkins seems to stop all our attacks.
-
Buendia is balletic in his footwork. Such a talented footballer.
-
I don't care if he is young or not, but surely a sub 1st half is needed?
-
I've certainly written off our eighteen year old midfielder already. Have you all given your passwords to Sid and Wilma, FFS?
-
Potentially unpopular opinion.
Chukwuemeka looks out of his depth.
Same for me. Looks lost I think. Get the impression he's had his head turned by people badly advising him.
-
To be fair Carney is a nipper with little experience. But he seems to be ambling around like a Year 8 kid at the Middle school disco.
-
That earlier challenge on Mings should have been red.
-
I've certainly written off our eighteen year old midfielder already. Have you all given your passwords to Sid and Wilma, FFS?
I haven't, just in this game though
-
Potentially unpopular opinion.
Chukwuemeka looks out of his depth.
I get the feeling (completely unsubstantiated, obvs) that this is exactly why SG has started him today. You think you’re too good fo sign a new contract?
-
To be fair, I feel he would be best served by replacing one of Luiz or McGinn, not playing alongside them.
-
I've certainly written off our eighteen year old midfielder already. Have you all given your passwords to Sid and Wilma, FFS?
I haven't, just in this game though
Well subbing him off in the first half in a nothing game for us wouldn't do a huge amount for his confidence and development would it?

Or calibrate his head?
And if he can't handle that, he isn't that good
-
Fuck me! The Lower Trinity have all gone for a bottle of warm piss and a Balti pie on 41 minutes
-
With them playing a back 5 Ings needs to come on and help Watkins.
-
Shit.
-
I find it helps to play the Bay City Rollers greatest hits at times like this.
-
Penalty
-
FFS
-
Ffs
-
Fuck me penalty to them
-
bugger
-
Buendia you twat!
-
Oops.

Oh dear

If Liverpool can start Harvey Elliot in a match that they have to win to stay in the title race, we can use a match against Burnley where it doesn't matter if we win or lose, if it's beneficial in the long term.
Oh dear. Penalty.
-
Penalty
-
Bollocks What a stupid tackle.
-
0-1
-
Wank.
-
Brainfart from Buendia
-
That's put the first Buendia/Coutinho joint start back another three months. 🥺
-
Barnes shouldnt have been on the pitch!
-
Good pen. Fair play.
-
Right, this is a test for us now.
-
Barnes shouldn't even be on the pitch let alone scoring goals. Such a joke of a league at times. Parody is one thing but this is just a shambles.
-
Well what a surprise. Shite
-
Ridiculous tackle Emi
-
15th is ok, isn't it?
-
Poo on a stick. Buendia utterly cocked that up… just one of those things I guess.
-
Anyone still think we’ll beat Citeh!?
-
Let's not forget the Everton / Leeds silver lining...
-
Buendia should be starting btw.
-
we're a bit kak at times
-
Sunday League move from Buendia. Can't have any complaints though, they've been the better side and look more dangerous.
Couldn't care less if there's nothing riding in this for us. We've been garbage.
-
Buendia should be starting btw.
I think we're better with him in the side.
-
That's made for a shit game. Burnley will just sit back with us not knowing what to do.
-
Bit of a dilemma.
On the one hand - absolutely fucking pathetic if we lose this, and finish below Newcastle in particular. Just not anywhere near good enough.
On the other - Leeds and Everton LOL.
-
Chuck anonymous, too crowded in the middle.
-
We started well but 30 mins on we got sloppy and started making daft mistakes - which culminated in the pen. Chuk has been really poor.
-
Ashley 'GBH' Barnes with the pen then. Lovely.
-

Not sure what game you've been watching but Burnley haven't been the better side.
-

Not at all, I'm not exactly hurting atm.
-
Let's not forget the Everton / Leeds silver lining...
True. This game means bugger all really to us.
Same for Burnley. On 1,800 away fans. Tinpot.
-
15th is ok, isn't it?
I don’t think we can finish 15th can we?
-
Ridiculous tackle Emi
Yep poor decisions in that half from Emi.
-
This is shit and it’s gonna get shitter.
-
Was going to take something monumentally stupid from us for them to score. Both Buendia and Chucky have been guilty of giving away stupid free kicks already.
It might liven the game up. Despite all the possession, we haven't really looked like breaking down their back 5. Both our full backs have been disappointing in attacking areas. Chucky hasn't offered anything, Watkins lost aswell. Likely sub there with Ings coming in for Chucky.
Luiz, Chambers and McGinn our best three for me.
-
A change at HT would be nice.
-

WTF? You're on teh wind up. They've been utterly non existent as an attacking force. We have been underwhelming from a clear chance creation perspective. But we haven't been garbage and they have not been in the game. And the bloke who scored should be in prison.
-

Indeed that’s nonsense, but we got sloppy and lazy as the half went on.

Ha ha ha
-
thought we were good for the first half hour - lost our way a bit after that
pently was stupid - but then the elbow was just as blatent.
They have been well organised - but I think when teams let us play - we struggle. I still have a nagging thought that is because were too narrow agaisnt a back 3
Maybe Ings would be better watkins - who hasnt been in the game
I thought chuck was ok - looked a little nervous - and took the safe option, but dont think hes been that bad
Would be really disapointing if we losed but they are pretty nervous, but hopefully a reaction in the second half

Yep, and also lacking a bit of hunger, which is a real surprise in a young player getting his start
-
Buendia should be starting btw.
I think we're better with him in the side.
I don't agree.
Fair enough, I missed the sarcasm there. Even if he's not creating much, or giving away penalties, I just think he's fun to watch. On a good day, he's the one making things happen though.
-
Get Chukwuemeka off, he's half a second too slow and fucking up midfield for us. Meanwhile, Watkins is doing the same up front.
If we really care about winning this match, he can't send us back out like this.
-
We've been the better side but lacking a clinical edge in the final third. Watkins' touch a problem yet again and Chucky should not be on the pitch.
Bring on Coutinho for Chucky and play two 10's behind Watkins...and Watkins should get yanked after 15mins for Ings if he hasn't done anything by then.
-
Wish we had a striker that has more to offer than running around
-
I liked the line up.
But looks like they didn’t actually train together before the game.
-
It seems our game plan is to put lots of crosses into Burnleys box. The one thing they're good at is heading it away.
-
Can someone please check in on Flint5one.
-
Will be a shit watch now, we'll knock it harmlessly about and they'll sit deep.
-
I’d get rid of 3/4 of our regulars in a heartbeat. Consistently poor for two managers. The whole squad needs shaking up.
Too many midfielders and no width tonight. Complete mess
-

They look more dangerous up front. We just seem to be prancing about in front of them - plays into their hands perfectly.
-
Everton have totally thrown in the towel...Dele Ali is on.
-
Emi made a real fuck up of that challenge. Should never have been out there.
Get ready for 45 minutes of complete shithousery.
The only foul we committed in the first half.
-
Bit of a dilemma.
On the one hand - absolutely fucking pathetic if we lose this, and finish below Newcastle in particular. Just not anywhere near good enough.
On the other - Leeds and Everton LOL.
Everton or Leeds getting relegated, would be the preference for most teams ahead of Burnley. Especially with Fulham, Bournemouth and maybe Huddersfield getting promoted. There's the relegation battle next season already.

They've had 2 chances and that's because they are sitting really deep and just hitting long balls up.

No way have they been the better team
-
They have been time wasting from the start, the goal must be such a bonus
-
Would bring Coutinho and Ings on for Mings and Chambers.
-
Buendia was lucky enough not to give away a penalty before that for a push on Tarlowski. No idea what genius decided he should be marking Tarlowski at set piece time.
-
Changed to girl bands...hoping for more inspiration
-
Oh, Lou. ☹️
-
Chuck out, Sanson in please
-
This current midfield is so poor words can't describe. They never run into space, ever. When the ball is in possession with the defence the midfielders all remain static just waiting for the ball to be played inch perfect to their feet. 14th in the league is exactly where we should be.
It needs a complete overhaul.

They've had no shots on target other than the penalty and 1 long ball over the top that caught us out.
-
Oh, Lou. ☹️
Can’t hurt, CD
-
Chuck out, Sanson in please
That's a good shout. Ings for Watkins too. Why waste 25 mins of the second half. just change it.
-
Chuck out, Sanson in please
Yeah, let's destroy his career before it's started so we don't lose a glorified friendly. Give him ninety minutes, FFS.

Or better coaching.
-
Our build up is far too slow giving them plenty of time to organise, tired of seeing the ball being passed across our back line, we have no through ball, Only Ramsey seems to have any drive. Very poor so far.
-
I have bottomed a whole bottle of alcohol for second half 5 goals..
Underberg
-
Just don’t see it with Chuk. Ordinary.
-
Chuck out, Sanson in please

Ffs, he is refusing to sign a contract
-
Apart from SJMs effort Pope hasn't had a lot to do.
-
Shit 1st half. Need to work out how break down 11 men b
-
Goal Everton.

I think all three of them are doing ok today. McGinn has had our only two shots on target. Id like to see Ramsey gambling the odd time and running in behind Watkins. We have no one running beyond Watkins and it's too easy for their back 5 to sit in.
Hope to see a change or two at half time. Burnley will park the bus completely now.
-
Well it’s good experience for Chuck after all, he will need it and it helped Ramsey progress this season.

Which Is why I said that SG has started him - let’s see how good you really are eh?
-
Chuk needs game time in the championship.
-
Chuck out, Sanson in please

Or trying to get the best deal he can, while waiting to be convinced that he will be given a chance. Taking him off at half-time won't help. If we are in the stage if his contract where it is clear he isn't going to sign I'm all for fucking him off, but we aren't at that stage yet. I reckon he will sign before the start of next season. And if he doesn't... well tonight is still only an end of season kickabout, no big deal.
-
Sunday League move from Buendia. Can't have any complaints though, they've been the better side and look more dangerous.
Couldn't care less if there's nothing riding in this for us. We've been garbage.
Not sure what game you've been watching but Burnley haven't been the better side.
They look more dangerous up front. We just seem to be prancing about in front of them - plays into their hands perfectly.
No way have they been the better team
They have. You know exactly how they will play and Gerrard has blundered straight into their trap.
ratio.
-
Chuck: This start will add a few million to his value when he decides to leave.
-
GTFI!!!!
-
Buendia! Maybe he can stay in the team after all 😃
-
Get in Buendia.
-
Gooooooooooooooooooooooolol!
-
BUENDIAAAAAAAA
What a ball, what a finish!
-
All set for 45 mins of Burnley time wasting? We can hardly complain. We were embarrassing at Turf Moor
EMI!
-
Fantastic by emi - so much desire !!
-
Good goal.
-
GETTTTTT INNNNN!!!!!
TAKE THAT CLOGGERS!
-
Go on, Emi!!
-
All is forgiven Emi
-
Good day, sir!
-
Great ball, great goal.
-
Ah what a great goal. Love it!!
-
Buendia! Maybe he can stay in the team after all 😃
What? You were wrong?!! 😂
-
Platt-esque that was.
-
Great run and finish. Eat shit Burnley.
-
Fucking class
-
I have bottomed a whole bottle of alcohol for second half 5 goals..
Underberg
This
-
That was Buendilliant!
-
They are nothing but an Allardyce Bolton, Pulis Stoke tribute act.
Kevin Davies and Ashley Barnes could swap wives they're so similar.
We've not been great but there's no way we should be behind here.
Hoho 1-1
Have that you jammy ***ts!
-
Buendia! Maybe he can stay in the team after all 😃
What? You were wrong?!! 😂
Always 😟
-
Don’t worry, The Supremes will see us through!
-
That was Buendilliat!
Fucking Hell.
Wish he had missed, now.
-
I fucking hate Burnley.
-
That was almost brilliant
-
Much more purpose so far in the second half. Good to see
-
Reckon they got a bollocking at half time.
-
Great ball in from the bloke we only like because he says “cheps” too 🙄
-
Good goal.
-
Bertrand alert. This will be fun, one way or the other.
-
I honestly did not notice Doug was playing.
-
Chuk off for Bertie
-
Traoré for Carney. Meh!
-
Here’s Bertie!
-
How does long get a yellow for that and Barnes got away scott free?
-
Here’s Bertie!
I hope he’s got his shooting boots on!
-
I fucking love Bert.
-
Chuck look like what he is, a lightweight inexperienced kid. I'd like him to sign a deal but go out on loan. If he doesn't want to stay here, then fuck him.
Bertie on for some fun and games. I'm looking forward to one of his trademark clearances which go straight up about a mile into the sky.
-
Bye bye Chucky
-
I fucking love Digne.
-
I honestly did not notice Doug was playing.
Really? He hasn't done anything wrong. Generally the whole team has played well, minus chuck
-
Could the Villa sing a bit? These Burnley fans are getting on my manboobs.
-
How does long get a yellow for that and Barnes got away scott free?
because the officials knew that if the ref saw the elbow it had to be a red card and giving that so early takes a lot more bottle than any of them have.
A soft yellow card after 55mins is much easier to give.
-
Dirty team.
-
OK Villa, put one in the onion bag for the Sugababes!
-
That was funny. Doug not wanting to shoot (probably due to scrutiny), passed it to Cash to shoot.
-
Cash has been rubbish tonight
-
Cash needs to stop shooting at every chance when there are better options available.
-
Buendia is trying that little flick layoff too often, they've started reading it.
-
Love Cash !!
-
Cash has been rubbish tonight
Ffs! No he hasn't!
-
Nah, he needs to shoot more often. Shooting is fun (not in an NRA way).
-
Desmond at Goodison.
-
Is it time to get Coutinho on yet?
-
Ramsey fell oveeerr!
-
Is it time to get Coutinho on yet?
For who?
-
Is it time to get Coutinho on yet?
Not sure if it's worth risking him against this lot. Want him fit for the 2023 Cup Final.
-
Bert wtf!
-
Chambers seems very intelligent in his pressing. Like him
-
This is pretty poor, really.
-
I might go for some chips.
-
Is it time to get Coutinho on yet?
For who?
Whom? Ramsey?
-
Here’s Bertie!
I hope he’s got his shooting boots on!
He hasn't got his passing ones on.

Most likely...already wasted one sub it looks like
-
Traore just plays on a different planet sometimes! It can be great, it can be horrific, nobody knows.
-
So shit since we scored
-
Traore just plays on a different planet sometimes! It can be great, it can be horrific, nobody knows.
That's why I love him.
-
Berts clearly back to full fitness again and trying no look square passes to no one like he kept doing last year.
-
Oh FFS. Fuck off VAR!
-
Traore just plays on a different planet sometimes! It can be great, it can be horrific, nobody knows.
That's why I love him.
He is the human mystery box.
-
Do you think they do things like passing and trying to score in training.
-
Schroedinger’s Bertie - It’s both good and horrific until he gets into the pitch
-
Would have been a soft pen, that, but they are often given.
-
No penalty, Barnes subbed.
-
That handball could have gone either way
-
Would have been harsh.
-
Buendia AND Coutinho alert! With added Bert! Yaaaaas!
-
So the high boot is ok by the clogger?
Never handball and surprise is var thought so too.
-
Here’s Bertie!
I hope he’s got his shooting boots on!
He hasn't got his passing ones on.
He’s just acclimatising
-
Here comes Coutinho… for Ramsey
-
Did it even hit his arm?
-
So they check a handball in VAR that is absolutely not clear at all, but those off the ball assaults by the Burnley Uruk Hai get not a second's viewing.
-
This is why this country shouldn't have var.
What a fiasco
-
Coutinho still hasn't bought any studs.
-
Would have been harsh.
particularly with the high boot of Barnes
-
Me getting another full bottle of alcohol and emptying in one go... utv
-
Is it time to get Coutinho on yet?
For who?
Whom? Ramsey?
Thanks but not thanks, Craig Shakespeare. Ings for Benson is my call.
-
Did Digne get many screamers for Everton? Feel like he's due one.
-

Stand corrected 🤣
-
if the ref had given that with the high boot after letting the prick get away with the elbow SG would've had my full backing to call him a cheating c**t in the post match interview.
-
FFS, 3-2 Everton.
-
Mon Everton, get Leeds down.
-
That’s some comeback by Everton in fairness
-
Oooooh Bert close
-
Bertie getting a bit more warmed up
-
Great fight back by Everton
-
Fuck Everton
-
"This is where it gets nervey, news will be filtering through"... says a man who has never tried to get a signal from a stand at Villa Park.
-
Burnley or Leeds to go down if the Everton shoreline stays the same…
I genuinely wouldn’t mind either going down the plug hole
-
Looks like Sky chose the wrong match!
-
Fuck Everton
If Leeds goes down, I'm happy
-
Fuck Everton Leeds.
Fixed.
-
Feels like it's written than Ings sends Burnley down.
-
Fucking hell what a shot by Ings. First touch
-
Ings.... so close
-
That was close from Ings
-
Fucking hell what a shot by Ings. First touch
Eh?!
-
Weren't we after that McNeill? Fucked if I'd want to spend thirty-forty million on him.
-
Fucking hell what a shit by Ings. First touch
No way that was shot!!
Edit: fixed it to the original post haha
-
Incredible save by Pope.
-
Fucking hell what a shot by Ings. First touch
Eh?!
You edited that quick! My steam gone and all I’m left with is this thread!
-
Fuck me what a save by Pope yet again from Bert
-
Bye bye Leeds. Bye Bye Leeds.
Their stupid ducking songs. Big Clubs pretends and Meeja Love In
Fuck Off Down
-
Fuck Everton
If Leeds goes down, I'm happy
You and me, Brother E.
-
What a save

Really close from Bertie
-
Pope having a big day.
-
What a save Pope
-

Fuck Off Down
They'll beat Brentford and stay up.
-
That's a hell of a save

His original post said shit, not shot
-
Weren't we after that McNeill? Fucked if I'd want to spend thirty-forty million on him.
I was waiting until the end of the game to say exactly the same (but safe now he's subbed), I can't believe there were people on here who thouht he'd be a good signing, he's shit, no end product at all.
-
Incredible save by Pope.
He is an Outstanding Keeper. He really is. That is how we got Heaton for a song
-
How's he saved that!
-
Fucking hell what a shot by Ings. First touch
Eh?!

I thought TV was slamming Ings for a shit first touch! :)
-
And yet another season peters out in 14th place or thereabouts.
So depressing, no matter how much optimism at the start of the season, it always turns out to be another entire year of nothingness.
-
Can only applaud that save. We'd be 3-1 up if it wasn't for him tonight. Fair play.
-

Had Coutinho been implemented as a no 6????

Always next year Paulie ;)

McGinn has been outstanding tonight
-
Great play by Mings, thank you very much.
-
FUCKING HELL WHAT A SAVE BY MINGS
-
"Tyrone Mings is fucking shit", eh, Leeds scum?
-
Jesus Christ. That should have gone in.
-
FUCKING HELL WHAT A SAVE BY MINGS
Thank you, Rosemary Clooney
-
Come on Villa, let's put these out of our misery.
-
The last five minutes has been more fun than the entire Palace and Watford games.
-
Balls…good shot by SJM. Pope saved again
-
What a block from Tyrone 🙌
-
Pope is a great keeper.
-
I see it's back to the dark ages at Goodison.
-
Been a good 2nd half
-
You won't beat Pope from that range.
-
Pipe is a great keeper
-
Would it be wrong to let one in to sink Leeds?
-

No

Smokin’
-
Lowton off.
-
Two 1-1 results to end the season at home against mediocre opponents is pretty shit. And I fully expect a panning on Sunday
-

He does have moments of glory and moments of manure
-
Lowton off.
Hahaha been on 2 minutes. That’s not a red though. Barnes was far more a red earlier
-
Everton safe then. Out of Burnley and Leeds i'd rather Leeds went back down. Especialy after the Wembley encounter we had with some of their lovely "supporters" in 96.
-
Lowton on… Lowton off.
-
Deserved red but they should have had two. Dirty fuckers.
-
Pipe is a great keeper
Smokin’
🤣🤣
-
That’s just not a red in my opinion
-
Deserved red but they should have had two. Dirty fuckers.
The first is much more obvious
-
Very harsh red
-
It was an orange card.
-
Too many El Ghazi shots, straight at the keeper.
-
Deserved red but they should have had two. Dirty fuckers.
The first is much more obvious
definitely
-
That’s just not a red in my opinion
I agree. It's a double red.
-
Not sure how that's a red, honestly.
-
It's a definite red for me, could easily have done some serious damage to Chambers.
-
If it’s Them, it’s ultimate Red.
The full monty.
-
Not sure how that's a red, honestly.
Evening it up for the one that should have been earlier.
-
Crap corner
-
Not sure how that's a red, honestly.

True. Can he send a few off in lieu of Mee too please?
-
Not sure how that's a red, honestly.
Really? Weve had players sent off for less.
-

Still doesn’t deserve the “Fuck off Mings” posts tho
-
Boooooooooo/big sigh 1-1 FT
-
I think you see reds given for tackles like that often enough that they can't have many complaints, sadly we've had an extra man for about 87 minutes less than we should've.
-
Pope has kept them in the game today. If he hadn’t had a big game, we’d have been 3-1 up
-
The Andrews Sisters agree,
so do the Beverly Sisters
-
Not sure how that's a red, honestly.

We have that's true, but he clears the ball and it wasn't really high/shin high. Just catches Chambers at the end. Not sure.
-
Pope was absolutely spectacular. They they stay up now it will be mostly down to him
-
Pope has kept them in the game today. If he hadn’t had a big game, we’d have been 3-1 up
Absolutely Chris agreed
-
Rubbish result, Rubbish season.
-
The only positive from yet another attempt to win at home is that Leeds are back in the bottom three. Benevolent Villa strike again. He shouldn't have been on the pitch, but Barnes hasn't scored for 15 months.
-
The Andrews Sisters agree,
so do the Beverly Sisters
And the Burnley fans start listening to the Jackson Sisters.
-
pope outstanding
I thought lowton was a little unlucky
barnes was massively lucky
thought we played pretty well - team lacks a bit of dynamicness (if thats a word)
Actually quited like PC playing a little deeper - PC was good - cant get away from the nagging feeling we play too narrow
