Whilst it was a horrific miss I think the covering defender would have stood a good chance of getting to it if he'd have hit the target

I thought that might have happened as well
Glad somebody else said it so I know I’m not going mad although we both could be going mad obviously

He had time to steady himself ans belt it with his left, which is what upset me more than a man in bed 5000 miles away ought to be upset.

Wretched for first hour but at least we got a point out of it. If you want to know why we can never finish top half in the premier league games like tonight are your answer.

Do you mean games where we were not at out best for a long while but still came back to get a point and should have won it?

Nah more 1-1s at home to teams who'll be finishing firmly bottom half.

If we'd won the Crystal Palace and Burnley home games right at end of last season and also Brentford we'd have finished 10th so need to make sure these home draws don't suddenly pile up.

I'm more confident we'll beat Leeds anyway who'll be more open from back to front than Wolves were so that should suit us to create more chances.

When are we doing the Stevenage FA Cup thread pre match discussion thread?
It's on Sunday at 430pm.
We need to discuss line ups and our hope in going all the way! Emery said "My dream is to win a trophy with Aston Villa. It's my personal challenge"
And we want to see it!

The Football Association Challenge Cup 3rd Round - Stevenage (H) thread on the front page is effectively the pre-match thread, Footy.

Would much, much, much rather see Everton and West Ham get sucked into the bottom 3 than this lot.

I watched a Toffee TV discussion last night on their current collapse, it reminded so much of our relegation season, if not worse. Apparently Lampard going or staying won't change a think as their players are absolute twats who don't give a shit. They have absent owners who won't put any money into the club, not that they have a clue about the club or the fans as they're never at games and there's zero dialogue between Lampard, the club owners or the fans.

Highlight was the claim that during the recent minutes silence for Pele, Dominic Calvert-Lewin thought it was for Viviane Westwood.

Well, there are similarities between the two; apart from dying on the same day, one was King of the 1958 World Cup, and the other had a shop on Kings Road. Very funny, though!

Bottom line, we were at home to a team in the bottom three.

Expected a win, did not get one. Disappointing. Not good enough.

But we whipped a team in the top four 4 last weekend, so you know every cloud
