I thought that was a rip from the Dyna Mite song from Control at first.

Decent enough effort that.

That's great, so will obviously never catch on.

Fair enough, but if he's going off injured, can we sing...

"Ice, Ice, Bailey........Up the Villa,
"Ice, Ice, Bailey........Up the Villa"?

Source The Athletic:
Bailey is among Villa’s pool of growing leaders, identified by Unai Emery and encouraged to speak on the pitch, as he did in France. He is not in the leadership group — John McGinn is joined by Martinez, Tyrone Mings and Douglas Luiz — but forms the deputy strand below.

“I’m pushing (Ezri) Konsa to lead in different moments,” says Emery. “I like to explain in the dressing room in front of everyone, they are doing that. Even Leon Bailey likes to speak and Ollie Watkins is usually one step ahead trying to share our thoughts in front of other players.”

Bailey is the pertinent example, however. He was running on empty in Sunday’s sluggish 1-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion and has been playing with heavy strapping on his right knee since the second leg against Lille. He has lacked the dynamism and the same smoothness and is now, 50 appearances across all competitions deep, having to play at his physical limitations.

Apparently leon did a really interesting extended interview i think on sky but i cant find it. He Apparently said he wanted to leave under gerrard but emery has been best ever manager he worked under.

Anyone know where to find this interview?

I bloody love Leon.  He's carrying an injury and has been kicked black and blue in the last few games, but has not stopped working.  It's so exciting what Unai can build next season and I reckon Leon will be at the heart of it.

What a fantastic season he has had.

[Olneythelonely]

I think I might change my POTS shout if I could go back now. Was always really close for me, but the effort he put in last night was incredible.

Saying that, Watkins had a superb assist.

Bailey has shown serious character recently. We should have been regularly rested if we'd had Ramsey, Rogers, Kamara, Zaniolo available but we've had to just keep running him into the ground. Definitely a player of the season contender and proof that you should never write anyone off too soon.

[chrisw1]

He's gone from some people questioning his character in his first season to thinking he'd run through a brick wall for the team this season.  All after winning his place from the bench at the start of the season.  Rather than chuck his toys, he just became undroppable.

Brilliant - this time last year I honestly couldn't see anything but the exit door especially after we signed Diaby.

Really made the most Buendia injury and is nailed on starter now. Being honest if everyone is fit that is an achievement and probably only one of 4 or 5 who are: Martinez, Watkins, McGinn and maybe Kamara.

Well done Leon I have never been happier to have misjudged a player.

Rest him sunday if spurs don't win tonight

Rest him sunday if spurs don't win tonight

What's the point? He'll want to play, and while he doesn't quite look 100%, he's got nothing afterwards to worry about. I still want to beat Palace anyway, even if Man City do win tonight, just so that we did it all ourselves.
