Dear Lord what a sad little club, Aston Villa. You ruined my afternoon completely so you could take the 3 points, I hope you use them to get some grace and decorum because you have all the grace of an African Car reverser with no tyres on.These cockney media types know nothing of ACR.Also, I don't like to mock anyone for missing a penalty unless they're a complete twat (which I don't think Kane is), but BBC commentary just said "for Harry Kane, the bar is set so high..." Not high enough for one of his penalties though, surely?I dislike Kane. Good player granted, but a cheating little shithead. The media call it “clever” when he does it. They aren’t so kind when one of our players do the same thing though…You're right, of course, but that applies to lots of players, sadly.

Superb performanceAshley Young does not get the credit he deserves from the media considering his age.
One of the big issues under Gerrard was how disjointed we looked with large gaps in the midfield and down the side of our defence. Yesterday it looked as though Emery has fixed that and we seemed to attack and defend as one unit with individuals within the structure all seeming to understand their roles.
The last thing Sky or the BBC want is for us to rock up, kick down the door to their cosy little club and announce...Right you bastards we are Aston Villa and we are gatecrashing your party. Carry on like this and that could well happen.
We were 6 at the back at times yesterday. I wonder if that was an instruction to try to protect Olsen a bit more? If it was it worked as he didn't really have a meaningful save to make.
