We can all say we didnt expect to see ourselves in this position so we should be happy to be in mix. But the bigger picture is this the best chance we will ever get for CL. Manure chelsea and Newcastle wont be this bad next year.  So will be even tougher next year.


We'll be better next year too.

Based on this season we seem to be getting worse as season progresses.

We are nowhere near the levels we were at start of season

Watching it back, Martinez really should have done better with their winner, it was straight at him.

Watkins had an awful game.
He was dreadful.
Dont agree at all

Watkins missed a couple of good chances but worse than that, his hold up play was abysmal.

He repeatedly gave the ball away with sloppy passes when the ball was played up to him which turned potential Villa attacks into opportunities for them to counter.

It’s one thing to be good against Sheffield but do the business against Manchester Utd and then you’re talking.

He clearly didn’t do that.
the bigger culprits of missing chances really good ones was Luiz and Diaby

Luiz should have buried that chance which would have put us up, I agree, but Diaby just seems to be lacking in confidence which you can feel.

Knowing that Bailey was taken off for tactical reasons and wasn’t injured seems like a gigantic act of self-sabotage to me.

Hate those plastic c*nts  with a passion. we should have beat them. The ref was a useless spineless c*nt , which is a given against those wankers. Lindelöf  would struggle to get in the blues team, so taking off Bailey , when he should have been tearing him a new arsehole was baffling. The most loathsome set of supporters/players you  could have the misfortune to encounter. C*NTS

the league will be tougher next year
Being better next year is dependent to a significant degree on how we end up this season.

Finishing in a Champions League place gives far more scope for improvement. Finishing outside those places or even without European football inevitably compromises the ability to attract better players and retain our better players.

Yes let’s go for it , we can do it, it’s in our hands, we need a positive mental attitude, anything is achievable.

I'd have been disappointed if we'd drawn that game, so to get suckered punched at the end like that was massively frustrating.  They are the worst Manchester United side I've seen at Villa Park since the late 1980's, so to lose twice to them this season is really disappointing.  They were unlikeable as ever, with that clown in goal adding to the long list of w@nkers that have appeared for them

I thought the performance was much improved from us though and we would have won fairly comfortably if we had taken our chances.  Thought Moreno and Ramsey were much better, though still not quite there and McGinn did well in the more advanced role.  Carlos and Lenglet were sloppy at times, but we are missing our top three CBs at the moment, so have to expect a bit of a drop.

Only disappointment for me was that I felt that our subs didn't really bring anything at a time when we needed the level lifting again.

It is as good as over. We’ll finish at best 6th and exit the conference league no later than the semis.

There's times when they have had a far superior side and we've gone toe to toe and been unlucky/ conned by officialdom.

But 1 to 11 we are better than them at present. Yet have still contrived to somehow lose to them twice in the space of six weeks.

They could have Neil Warnock managing them and we'd still fluff our lines.
