Fucking cheats vs Aston Villa post match thread - we won the 2nd half 1-0

[Risso]

Shocking to think we payed 25m for Digne - nit sure what we thought we were getting but he has been poor for the most part. 

One of the top three earners, isn't he? Still, what Steven wanted, he got.

Well we can be grateful for Kamara.

[Smithy]

A bad day at the office, but losing by two is actually slightly better than I was expecting given the week they’ve had.

Sometimes it’s the little things you have to take solace in after results like this, and as impressive as Duran’s cameo was, it was his reaction to Ollie’s goal that makes me believe we’ve got a proper player on our hands. All the talent in the world means nothing without the application, and he was immediately signalling to get the ball back. He clearly has ability, but the boy really wants to win. That bodes well.

[Risso]

Agreed Smithy, he didn’t look like a raw kid.

[Smirker]

Wouldnt it be funny if they get all their honours written off, poor jack.

This is exactly what should happen when they're found guilty.

[Mellin]

Yep. Look what the Italians did with Juve. Some of that please.

We have always known what ratboy is so I'm not surprised. We can't complain about him because he behaved exactly the same when he played for us.
What really gets me is that VAR didn't call it. All that technology, some time to look and consider and they still blatantly get it wrong.
At least when refs were making instant decisions in favour of the 'big teams' I would put it down to a subconscious bias. That VAR non decision to call the ref over is scandalous.

[wince]

That is no penalty on chippy shop head. Just does a Norman Wisdom trip

[LeonW]

Taking anything from this fixture is a bonus. We did well to make life more difficult for them in the second half but silly mistakes and poor ball use cost us again. Duran and Coutinho looked good when they came on and Ollie took the one chance he got which is all we can ask. I’ve seen enough of Bailey to know that he does not fancy it at all when he comes up against a physical opponent. I’m not sure he’s actually that much better than Bertie.

Never mind Traore not sure he’s better than Trez or El Ghazi.

He’s more inconsistent then all of them but when he’s on it his level is higher then all of them. Unfortunately, it’s too infrequent. His contract expires in 2025 so get as much back as possible in the summer I reckon.

[Villan82]

Yep. Look what the Italians did with Juve. Some of that please.

Award all the titles to the clubs who were runners up. Give us the 2020 League Cup.

Because our players just a accepted it and didn't make it a issue, whatever we say about Manchester United's Bruno Fernanda he has a right good moan if he falls over a blade of grass

[Clampy]

First half, we got nowhere near them at all. We were all over the place, it was woeful. Second half, better and a bit more organised. Nice goal by Ollie.

[TonyD]

The first half was dismal and we had no fight or organisation whatsoever. Second half was better but they’d taken their foot off the pedal.

Why Emery keeps picking Bailey and Ramsey I have no idea.

Or Digne

Ramsey's form has somehow fallen off a cliff.

Agreed

[Matt C]

Will pretend the first half simply didn’t happen. Second half was reasonable, Watkins finding some good form, subs all having an impact and Duran looks more advanced than I expected. All in all, a decent 1-0 away win against the cheating, sports washing twats.

[Sexual Ealing]

Glad I slept through it. It wasn't a real match anyway, we're not playing the same game as them. We follow the rules (I hope).
