Forest and Villa have had freakish good fortune with injuries this season. Villa especially given they had European football to contend with.

Yeah, if you say so chap.

Gone full voyeur myself and saw that earlier. Pissed me off too.

Almost parodically so.

Hey, I mean, it works! No knocking it.

Totally. Yet Villa have been playing low intensity for the majority of the season and our injury list looks like a Soviet daylight charge over a Wehrmacht minefield in comparison.

We don't only play low intensity though. Or at least, we're not sitting deep and countering as our sole tactic. We're kind of freaks, weirdos.

I used to predict Lawro's predictions. I was good at it.
