We are all posting on a football fanzine website, so you might want to lose the air of superiority. ;-)

No superiority from me, just that watching Villa lose is no good for my blood pressure!

This is fair. I reckon I do generally post a lot less when we have lost, mind.

Too busy enjoying the twists and turns of the Ollie thread, eh? Me too.

The Watkins thread is more Punch and Judy than twists and turns, but it does stand as a testament to one man’s crusade to find every possible combination of words to say the same thing forever.

A monument to the indefatigable human spirit.

A short discussion by some journalists as to why they don't really focus on Villa very often (25ish mins in).

P.s the headline on the thumbnail is misleading. The show isn't about Villa so don't get excited.

Edit: but there are some Villa bits before 25 minutes. You can work it out.

Watched the first 7 seconds of it. That was enough.

I was going to share this video too.

 It’s worth finding the section where they discuss villa, if only for some semi sensible chat about the way Villa disrupt how pundits have become accustomed to using xG to talk about football.

Apparently only Chelsea (and Crystal Palace) have done the tactic of leaving more players up the pitch to force Arsenal not to overload at corners, and this is Shay Givens tactics, the genius that he is.

Don’t worry, somebody will be along in a minute to reassure us that their analysts just forgot about Villa doing it.
