Despite having 2 very dodgy knees, I very nearly hit the ceiling, when Emi got the winner, an unbelivable end to what was a magnificent victory. Every Villa player played their part in a match that will live with me for ever.After the Wolves match, looking at the fixtures, we had for this month, I must admit I was a bit concerned, after yesterday I'm now thinking there's every chance we will win the lot and there's even a possibility we might beat Crystal 'Flipping' Palace next month!

But tbh, also because Rice was far and away their best player.No joking, Prince William sent message to TNT saying it should have been Emi Buendia. They told Keown live on air and he was gobsmacked.Tielemans was the MOTM yesterday, shading Rogers and Maatsen.

It’ll be interesting to hear that anti Villa, Arsenal fan, Jarrett-Bryan if he’s on the football weekly podcast!
Quote from: ROBBO on Today at 12:29:29 AMIt was a club building win, every Villa player on that pitch will get a confidence boost knowing we can take on the best and beat them. What suprised me most were the subs, every player that came on played his part, so much so that Arsenal were holding on for a draw for the last ten minutes. We wilted at the start of the second half and i thought the worst after they scored but this is a better Villa and we finished much the stronger. The only disappointment for me was how Ollie time and again in the second half failed to control the out ball putting the midfield under pressure, was not suprised to see him benched early. Brilliant day all round.Arsenal had that spell at the start of the 2nd half by going absolutely full pelt at it in the hope they could grab a couple and then see it out. They paid for it at the end with 2-3 of them looking out on their feet when most of our lot looked like they were getting stronger.

Quote from: PeterWithesShin on Today at 12:53:18 AMPubehead and Wright Pubehead stating he wouldn't have gone for it at the end and that Emery will now give up the Europa for the league just shows why he is so out of date in todays game.
Pubehead and Wright
The usual trope about Arsenal’s injury 'crisis' was trotted out on MOTD as an excuse for them losing.Starting bsck fours Villa - £90mArsenal - £174mPerhaps they'd do better if they spaffed their money more wisely or had a better coach in charge?
We will rotate heavily for Basel. I expect us to rotate the midfield, Digne/Maatsen and Watkins/Malen in the Chelsea/Arsenal/Forest/Palace games but not change too much else.
Quote from: Ian. on Today at 12:12:59 PMThey had Steve Bruce on the radio yesterday. At the end of his reign I really couldn’t stand having him as our manager and his time was up, he was suddenly out of his depth. However I do appreciate some of the things he achieved at Villa. He stopped the rot and turned the ship around. He was decent on the radio yesterday, very humble. There was a point when he pretty much admitted his limitations and Emery is a complete different class of management.You couldn’t help but warn to him. MON on the other hand, even though for a year or two it was exciting, now I can never warm to him again. He’s a weird man. yes to all of the above.
