Great idea, you could call it the David O'Leary section, where all of the fans who think that they're being clever bringing up the fickle quote can congregate and slag off other Villa fans together.
I prefer my idea. A place where fans who want a player like Mings out of the club every time he makes a mistake can gather and enjoy being miserable.

It looked to me, in the second half, like a bunch of blokes having a whale of a time playing football. There was one shot of Jack where his eyes were positively blazing.

And so my theory (and it is a theory that is mine), is that they were having such fun that some of the basics went flying out the window.

Despite being a tad distraught at the result, I loved the way they played.

The biggest positive for me is that is the last time I will have to watch Burnley play the worst football in the league until next season. With a bit of luck somebody will sign Pope and they'll get relegated.

I think Dean Smith himself best summarized the reasons for our loss in his post match interview; "We didn't do the basics well enough in the second half". Xamples of basics can fx be to defend a corner against properly and to get someone to help your right back when under pressure.

You might be onto something, complacency crept in after the first half where we were flowing and thought it would be easy and we took our eye of the road

It's a rollercoaster of a season alright. The differences between the highs and lows this season have been massive. As David Bradley said in the brilliant video celebrating 140 years of Aston Villa "the lows just make the highs higher" It was a helluva kick in the nuts last night but boy am I enjoying some of the football they are playing.

Pure and simple - we need to be more clinical in our finishing -  it's all very well playing enjoyable, expansive football but if we don't finish teams off when  we  are on top  during  a game this will continue to happen - personally,I consider  the best  time to play "sexy" football is when you are three goals ahead - ideally they would go hand in hand ie playing attractive football and winning but most dominant, successful teams have a ruthless streak - I recall Brentford fans saying they played some "nice attacking" forward play but defensively they were suspect.
I would like us to buy one or two quality strikers or attacking Mfer`s to address this "weakness"

In a way, that result might do us good in the long run. Hopefully, we'll and Smith will learn from it.

I must admit I’m irrationally excessively f***ed off about last night.
