Is there a "who cares as long as we win?" option?

Exactly, nobody seemed to be complaining when we did Southampton 3-2 with about 20% of the possession.

When I watch Villa I do it to see them play football, not run around while some other team plays football. So possession does matter to me. If we were winning every game 3:2 with 20% possession, I'd be delighted. But we're not.

24%.

Like PL said he's not interested in stats...so he won't be looked for possession , just a 0-0 draw which is all fine and dandy till Swansea score then we have move to plan...ummm. .!

24%. Loads of hoofing. Party times.

Still detoxing after last Saturday's majestic goalless draw, not sure I can stand another party.

Me too.

To be honest, I am relieved Man United have sacked their manager and given people something else to talk about - I was getting sick to the tits of absolutely everybody I speak to congratulating me on Saturday. What a day it was, though, what a day, and what a result!

When you stop and think about what we've achieved without Jores and Charles and Libor, it really is amazing stuff.

I'm just glad I've lived long enough to see this golden era in our clubs history.

What about all the other times this season we've had hardly any possession and got beaten, though?

You won't win many matches if you repeatedly find yourselves not holding the ball for any length of time - as the table shows.
