I reckon we'll have a shot second half.

Ive just come back from a funeral of my villa buddy of 58 who I spent 30 years with going to the Villa home and away , I even wore the villa shirt to the funeral , because he fucking loved them.

so Ive come back little subdued and merry and emotional so I want the boys to fucking win this fucker to send my mate off in his claret and blue wings.

I just hope its the usual wait until we go down by 2 and then start attacking when its too late.

We need to get the ball forward quicker its as simple as that. I am worried tgis clown refs gonna send emi off

This ref though...  Shocking. 

Compared to the performance our players have put in, the refs been peak Pierluigi Collina

Haha.  But nah, not for me.  We've been a bit poor, but he totally lost the plot half way through.  I've never seen Emery lose his cool with an official before, which I think speaks volumes. 

And their goal was a bit lucky.  The winger never looked up, just twatted the ball across the box and it landed plum on the boys left foot.  Good finish though. 

They're a decent side, but I back us to win this in the second half. 

There was clearly some shit being talked between the coaches. I don't mind the ref stamping down on that to be honest. I thought all 4 yellow cards given to players were correct, but Lille could have had another one

On past form, we're quite likely to ship another one at some point in the next ten minutes.

ALANUTTON!

Get him on for Cash.

Our performances in Europe have mostly been underwhelming, but they don't seem to have caused us too much trouble, so who knows.

Ah is that what it was about.  I missed that.  Anyway, big half coming up!!!

[Skerra]

Something needs to change after half time. But dare I whisper  they started to look leggy after 35 mins.

Trouble is that we’ve looked leggy all match so far

[devilla]

What the fuck!

Don't have one of your lamppost days, Youri..
