It could be either option with how OCD worded it so I covered all bases. "but he's the best manager we've had in my lifetime"

I think people need to get over the Man City selection,
No, not really. It’s done but not dusted and if we don’t recover it will be a terrible end to the season. Brentford game was crucial.

It will be the injuries and suspensions that might do us, not drawing at home to Brentford.

I hope he meant to say “so far” as we all live in hope.

Looks like a lot of the players call him 'Mister'. https://twitter.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1778454526392988038

Not just his 100th game as manager, but Villa's 100th game in Europe. https://twitter.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1778443776454787402

We'll probably lose.

Man Utd and Liverpool are both over 400.

Please, please, please target a DCM in the summer and get Tyrone and Konsa back into the heart of the defence.

Torres has been superb, what has he done to deserve to be dropped for you?

Pau will probably be our captain in 2 years time

"Mister" is used widely in Italian football to refer to the manager, it is a reference to the early days of the game there when many of the clubs were set up by the British, and the manager was inevitably British*.

It's usually used as 'Il Mister' (The Mister) over there when referring to him to someone else rather than a direct name, though, which is what our social media admin at least has decided to go with.


* someone will now google this and it'll turn out to be apocryphal.

He's a fine player, but still finding his feet in this league.  Is he better than Mings? Not in my view.  I am not saying we sell him, he's a good player and needs to be in the squad to rotate with others, given how many games there are.

Mings and Konsa are a far more solid combination. However we’re now missing a vital cog in Kamara which really weakens us further. He’s vital to Dougie being on top form too.

Congratulations to SUE winning his 1000th game.

Whatever happens here on in, the man is class.

Well done Unai now if you could sort wins in all the remaining games this season that’d be great.
