Accurate summation for me. The one thing that sticks out about Smith’s Villa is that he’s the first manager since Big Ron IMO where we give the better sides a game consistently. MON sides would occasionally do it but not consistently. Last season we took more combined points off the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, etc, then at any time I can remember. Whilst we lost yesterday if we keep up that type of performance against those sides and I think we can do the same again.

Agree Dave. Chelsea really struggled to cope with Villa in that first half. Very impressive to witness.

Yes, a very good summary Dave. I have to say the ref was diabolical. It's hard enough playing such an expensively assembled team, but you shouldn't have to play '12' men into the bargain....!

Think Chelsea may sneak the PL this year.
