C’MON VILLLLLLLLLLLA

FFS

GET IN!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck me Olsen is on. We’re fucked

Just getting some practice in for later

You utter, utter barstool.
For a minute I thought I'd missed most of the game.
Many years ago I called you 'Tonto' (tolo but sounds like), you thought it was racist but it was Portuguese for 'fool/idiot'.
Just when I thought you'd lost the title..ah bugger, see you later! ;)

Can't remember the last time I was this nervous about a friendly game other than Leeds in 75.

Rangers?

FYi - Based on the above we lead the game after conceding early and then fuck it up late on. It’s the Villa with Olsen in goal way. Sorry. For future games please feel free to use any of the above statements in any order.

Oh, for heaven's sake, I thought this game was being played at midnight on Thursday, and was just about to go to bed.  Previous game I watched until half time, now I don't know what to do.

Hopefully I'll stay awake this time.

Hopefully today Cam will get a few more minutes. Maybe Watkins has insisted he'll only sign the new contract if Cam stays on the bench. ;) For me, Watkins best attribute is his positioning, few strikers can do it and Ollie knows where to put himself. Poor control but he's always there. Archer was all over the pitch in his few minutes against Saudi Utd, I hope Emery can give Archer some coaching about positional play as his finishing is five stars. Combine Watkins positioning and Archer's technique and we've the perfect striker.

Olsen is a liability. Well out of his depth at this level.

We can rebuild him. We have the Emery.

Midnight is a very confusing time to start a game.

The coverage starts at 11.50 pm tonight on Virgin 503.
Just in time for midnight. And Thursday!
