Icing on cake would be us being relegated as the scum get promoted.

Neither event is going to happen.

Warnock just nailed it: they're fitter and stronger than us.

As an aside, long throws seems to be in again with lots of teams doing it. Surely our set piece coach has been working on the...........

In general I’m disgusted at what’s happening. Performances are dreadful. Recruitment is dreadful. Are these guys even being coached now? Players Unai has improved are now going backwards. Including Tielemens, Rogers and McGinn.

I’ve got 0 positives from this season so far or the pre-season.

I wasn’t this pissed off watching Remi Garde’s team. At least then I had no hope.

It’s the hope that kills us.

Given our record against them I knew a loss was coming but Jesus there’s NO fight amongst them. Lacklustre and half baked.

Look at the replay for that third goal, eight Villa players in the box, none of them near it.

But look at the body language after, pathetic. Rogers just shrugging and walking back.

We won't be relegated but until Unai get a grip we will be circling the drain.

Looks like a few people have left early. They’re not totally convinced we’re going to pull this back to 3-3
