We're just going to have to get used to the media being against us, a few ex-Villa players in punditry jobs wouldn't do any harm either.

Sky spent a good 70 minutes willing an equaliser to go in and didn't get it thankfully.
we have a few but they are all bellends - Lescott, the laughing hyena, Sutton, Jenas .  Stephen Warnock is one of the better ones

Gabby is always on the radio. We haven’t sent our best.

McInally was always very good. Lee Hendrie is just dim.

Townsend had his truck......

Agree with McInally, just a shame they decided that Best could do Manure, McLintock could do Arsenal, but it Alan was too biased if he did Villa so stopped him doing them.

Merson is a bit hit and miss on their as well.

One day in the distant future Tyrone Mings will politely readdress the balance.

It is worth noting for all their drizzling about VAR that Stockley Park did not overturn any referring decisions last night. Therefore if it hadn't existed the only difference would have the game finishing a little earlier

that's what Lineker and Wright and their small brain didn't seem to grasp . Pair of bellends

They over turned the penalty at Palace.

It also gave another one. But he is talking about our game being as it was the one Linekar decided to use on "not liking VAR anymore" decision, which is weird because VAR was not used to overturn any decisions, just to confirm them.

The penalty could have been given against Luiz, we've all seen them.  It wasn't enough contact for me, but I would say that!

It could have been given, I’ve seen them given, but then I’ve seen lots of incorrect decisions over the years.

The only thing we got lucky with is how this particular referee allows decisions to be made.

Both the Luiz "foul" and Havertz "goal" could have gone the other way. Both were close enough that VAR wasn't going to overturn whatever decision was made on the pitch.

Gillett seems to be one who prefers to not "make the decision" and let VAR tell him he's got it wrong rather than the other way round.

I don’t think we are under represented in the media. There is Townsend, Hendrie, Dublin, Warnock, O’Neill, Smith, Sutton, Richards, Lescott, Agbonlahor, Jenas. The problem is that the ones who have any credibility/ gravitas have minimal affiliation with us. Ultimately this is because we have been largely shit for the last 25 years. Good players haven’t tended to spend much time with us. What do we realistically expect?

We are under represented on the big shows e.g. MOTD / Sky Super Sunday etc which is dominated by the likes of Wright, Murphy, Shearer, Richards, Neville, Carragher, Redknapp.
