Should have had a pen but we have been poor so far, I'm expecting a better second half.

Danny Mills was adamant Brighton should have had a penalty shortly after the non-Villa one. It was almost amusing watching him discuss it with Mike Dean, who was equally adamant Brighton shouldn't have had a penalty.

I kind a get the impression that the referees decisions often somehow give the game to Brighton.

I try not to get too wound up about ref's decisions. They're usually subjective and you can see that in how two sets of supporters can argue about a decision with the benefit of replays.

But that is a fucking penalty and these useless wankers can go fuck themselves.

Time for our usual 'play well for 15 mins and then kill it off" second half.

Rashfords 2 goals against Preston has done nothing to convince me that he is a viable option through the middle against decent teams. Get Watkins on and Rashford wide

Danny Mills has some playground ‘beef’ with Gabby so it’s probably more about that than anything he saw or didn’t see.

Could've got either way, Ramsey dangles his hand out but not sure it actually hit it, looked like upper knee first.

That was a minute after the non penalty so that play wouldn't have happened if we'd got the penalty we should've.

Danny Mills. Less than average player with a big mouth. Ignore.

The officials are now using VAR to protect each other and any pretence about getting decisions correct has gone out of the window.

Nailed on pen, but very hit and miss that half. Tielemans, McGinn and Kamara all over the place,all in and out of the game, and shout out for Rogers who has been desperate. Move him to the middle or hook him, because we pretty much played that half with 10 men

We will surely put on Asensio around the hour mark so can't see him getting any action in the middle unless we switch him and McGinn for fifteen minutes.

Whether its incompetence or corruption, I don't care, just get it out of the fuckin league.
