The best photo ever taken at Villa Park. Just beautiful.

Completely agree

Nah it was the long range photo taken in the centre circle of Jordan Veretout signing. And he could have gone to Leicester.

When you have a goalkeeper who is quite happy and competent to catch the ball. Why do we have 11 men in the box. Put 2 on the halfway line, they will have 3 markers. It stops the snipers outside the box like yesterday.

even one on the halfway line, it's taking two to mark him,it puzzles me why we don't do it

Percy explained it to me the other week. Then again, he's a lot cleverer than I am.

It's all to do with counter attacks, having false defenders in the box  who are not there to defend but spring into attack and opposition are left short in defence. However that could b bollox.

Yeh but could any of them speak Spanish?

I heard Antonio Bartonelli was fluent Italian speaker.

Why always me?

Per'ché sempre io?

This might have been discussed earlier but how on earth was it deemed not offside for interfering with play with 2 Arsenal  players in front of Emi for their winning goal? Didn’t we have a goal disallowed for the same reason at their place a couple of years back?

Agree wholeheartedly, Olaftab. It most certainly could be bollox.

Hand ball (Don't know the correct term)

Nothing to see here. Must try harder. D+

[Footy-Vill]

Its the 52 seconds and then booked that irks me.
Already had done some delaying.
Do that right at the end of a game if at all.

Completely agree

Not quite, they needed to be centralised with the Holte !

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Yeah, it's getting a bit too predictable as are the yellow cards. He needs to get clever but overall I could care more. We've far bigger problems to resolve.

Can't stand MON, he's got nothing to say that would interest me. Emery should also learn when and not to open his mouth. What exactly does he think Martinez has to 'learn' from going up in the 98th minute whilst 3-2 down? It's Emery that needs to 'learn' not Martinez. If he's trying to push Martinez out the door, I get it. Where's Neil Cutler when you need him?

For all the money Emery earns, you'd think he could afford a watch that works. He talks about Emi going up for the corner on 92 minutes.. 'learn' to tell the bloody time.
