Press-ed over the edge

I'll do a match report when I've calmed down a bit. Probably some time around mid-November.

Thanks Rory.

And ❤️ to all Villa travelling home from Wembley, after that.

I wouldn’t bother, tbh. Same old sh*t. Let me know when we have some players who can actually get the job done rather than this bunch of cowards.

Given the relative resources , wage bills etc , that was far far worse than the Arsenal  0-4 .

The Chelsea final was expected. The Arsenal final was embarrassing. There was no excuse for this.

When we’re breaching UEFA rules on FFP and we’re getting done by Palace it’s an embarrassment.

I read your articles after every game just to see if my thoughts and feelings match your calm assessment. I clicked on the link today to see if someone can explain what happened and why?
Why did they want it more? Why did we play so slow? Why were they able to close us down do quickly and we could not do the same? Why did it take so long for Emery to change anything and why did the changes have very little effect? and why does it feel like we won't anything any time soon? ('winning' a place in the Champions League does not count).

It helps to balance the books which seems more important these days than actually winning a trophy.
