One for the xG fans.....We had the second highest xG of any team this season tonight with 3.53
QuoteAston Villa captain John McGinn to Sky Sports: "It's a brilliant effort towards the end. We got a bit of luck. It's been a tough few weeks with lads coming back and playing through the pain barrier. This place got us going."Big Jhon [Duran] is a bit nuts at times, he's a nightmare to play against. I don't think it's been difficult for us as players."There's some of us that have never been close to the Champions League in our life. The manager has a no-excuse mentality. People have written us off and we've floated under the radar. We'll have our Man City tops on tomorrow."

Quote from: Small Rodent on May 13, 2024, 10:28:15 PMI honestly think in the spirit of us all being Villa fans, we should lay off criticism of match thread reactions etc.Emotions are high.I called someone a troll, and regret it.Peace brothers and sisters.I honestly can't agree with this. The same handful of people make the match threads a fucking horrible experience for everyone whenever we're not leading comfortably and then go silent as soon as we are on top, it's fucking annoying and creates a far worse atmosphere than there needs to be on here.

Absolutely a match thread for the ages, that.Jesus Christ, some proper, proper glass-half-full-OF-DONKEY-PISS doomery at work.I am no happy clapper, far from it, but fuck me.Like I said, a top, top match thread.

And it is a fair point to make.
