Woke up to this, great start to the day 🎉
Pass quicker . Be more aggressive , don’t let Palace lull you into a stupor ….We’ve always had plenty of possession , against them..Got to be on it and win …
Imagine if villa were selling Assensio? They would be struggling like hell and yet we have to pay a fee and big wages.
That’s a crazy thing to hear. But being better off by not being in Europe is just crazy and counter-intuitive, but sadly true. Nothing indicates the rules’ failures more than that.
Onana injured again…
Premier league corrupt as f………..
my hopes as it stands 40 points and maybe a cup run or 2 That's where we are this season But i expect a massive pick up next season
Assensio no no no stop wasting money The wages from jan transfers are still costing us now
I would have gessand left with mcginn in double pivot on L. Gessand defensive stats are good and mcginn can cover. Then have matsen left back
Rodgers should be on the bench Guessand in the 10
After watching their lack lustre display thursday I actually think we can win, and watching them I think they will struggle this season 😁
U T M V
2-1
A month ago it was don't panic we have a lot of the window left… panic time now?
The season is not looking to bright
Hahahaha only woke people can be offended when the term “woke” is used in any context. Utter woke nonsense 🤣
Onana's getting stick because of his injury record,,,,,,,how about Kamara who's now our highest paid player…who has yet to complete a full season since being with us?
Given Onana, Kamara and Barkley’s injury history, I’m baffled we let Enzo go. We definitely could’ve used him to play alongside Tielemans
It's enough to make one believe in conspiracy theories. The 'Big 6' wanted a breakaway Super League. They have been allowed to spend hundreds of millions in order to establish themselves again as that Big 6. All other teams have been forbidden that possibility. The FA and UEFA want to maintain that Big 6 in perpetuity and have set the rules accordingly.
The only Villa podcast I'll ever listen to. 💜💙
Have you guys ever considered asking players, ex-players, managers, coaches, or former managers on for an interview?
Like a special guest kinda thing.
I'm sure Ian Taylor would help get things going
Signing aging players on high wages with next to no resale value is really not something Villa should be doing given our financial issues. For long term stability, we have to accept we need to become a bit of a selling club like Brighton. Find cheaper deals like McGinn and Rogers and sell them for 40, 50, 60, 70m
Another idea is for you guys to be at Bodymoor showing behind the scenes footage and club insights 💜💙
Id also love a section where one of you is at our home games asking our fans questions/polls etc and getting the Villa fans view of the world on where we are as a club this season
Kingsley Conan would be a perfect short term signing
Currently on route to see AVWFC vs Union Berlin. So frustrating that you can’t promote the Women’s more. It’s all claret and blue.
Onana sick note amount he cost disappointed..as for the transfer window basically 5 out of 10. Palace will beat us im no fool ..unai needs to sort it before it's too late..deflated villain here..not looking forward one bit.
Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Maatsen, mcginn and Youri pivot, Geussand, rogers, Malen, Watkins. Aggressive press, mcginn on Wharton. Actually go for the throat and play like a team that hasn't been beaten at home in year! If we sit deep, play out from the back in a slow tempo I will really have to question Unai this time. It's the definition of madness to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result.
Onana needs to be sold next summer. Never is, was or will be a £50m player. A total waste of time.
The worst transfer window in years. A disappointing start to the season. The loss of some key personalities. Emery even looks like he has lost enthusiasm. Not feeling very good about this season. We are still far from being a top 6 side by right.
Hi guys 💜💙
Paqueta instead of asensio, methinks
2-1, villa
Andrex Onana – 3 ply soft luxury tissue
villa should of sold onana he’s not worth the price tag not worth the £140k wages or the 90k pay rise villa gave him he’s always injured or ill
