Me neither. dont know how we do it but we do. It s amazingly awesome. Who is the Grande Vila hieriachy person standing in front of the tunnel congratulating first emery then players as they are on the way in?

Damian Vidagnay.

He’s like the internal connector between all the senior people at the club. Unai, owners, head of business etc…

Press, fans.

It appears we've figured out how to win every game using the least possible performance necessary to get over the line. Our goal difference at the end of the season will probably be single digits.


If it turns out to be single digits, we might struggle to get Eurpa League next season, never mind Champions League (Unless as expected we win the Europa League this season).

Glorious stuff - to have two absolutely essential players out, play sloppily, and still win is huge. Morgan is elite quality.

Did you notice how the commentators kept mentioning the fact that we had two essential players out? No, neither did I

Indeed.

Really over the moon with that. When they scored their second I thought we'd left ourselves too much. Next three are cruical, in the sense that they'll tell us how serious we are. We have a nice buffer to absorb the worst if we're staying realistic though.

The pessimist in me can't help thinking it's going to come to a crashing halt against Man Utd but fuck it. Nine in a row is some feat.

We all know how this run ends....it just has to be them  >:(

Not really.

It's this pessimism that stops us achieving anything.

Time to think differently.

We've got Unai.

This is a different team.

If we won every game by a single goal then GD would be plus 36 anyway. But we did get Europa with single digits last season.

Disappointing that we didn't score 4. 3 points will have to do.

I'm sure some of us will come on and slag off certain players and praise others after today's performance.

Personally, I couldn't give a shiney shite.

If we repeat what happened today in all our remaining fixtures, then I'm not going to complain or moan.

We won and another 3 points on  the board is what counts.

Have you forgotten what happened on the final day last season? We had Unai then too!  :-\

Yeah, but Watkins was far from his best today.

A bit like the players, I don't panic watching the Villa these days. Always feel we can go up a gear when we need to.

Fantastic win. Well done lads.
