Aston Villa Banter

Did you hear, City manager post match interview, what a load of rubbish. City were in complete control of the game, he was forced into taking players who had been booked off, because he was frightened of the Villa crowd, influencing the ref. Now I don't know what game he was watching but, I thought the ref gave them a few decisions against us that looked a bit iffy ln the second half.


But are we bothered, we've heard it all before, we've got the 3 points, be great to actually find out what problem these officials have with the Villa, and who's influencing them UTV.

They haven't won in 4 or 5 years at Villa park, they asked him what did he think city were doing wrong over those games, he said he only knew about today's game as he wasn't in charge for the others, correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the clueless idiot pep's number 2 for quiet a few of those defeats, all smiles and laughing trying to hide the fact he was sick over it.


complete control is laughable, they were behind after 6 mins and only managed to keep it level for 8 mins after their equaliser where haaland thought he was Frankie dettori and thought Lindelof was shergar. how that wasn't chalked off is beyond me.

Maresca is sort of right as he was there for our draw in 2022 but had left before they started losing.
Match recordings and analysis is a thing and there are players who have been there so he must have some idea why they've been losing.
I agree about the control, we had it all in the first half, 95% possession against City for the first 10 minutes is astounding.
Second half we did let them have a lot of the ball but we were mostly in control, I still think they got enough opportunities and positions that a good City side would have at least equalised.

I said this a few weeks back but I do think the (ice man Jackson) will smash Ollie's record.

24 Oct 2026 21:01:03
Irish the difference is that when Jackson has a chance you think he might score with Ollie you hoped he might score.

24 Oct 2026 21:21:12
I've also been hugely impressed by his velcro touch. With him and big Brian I think we'll be alright.

Doku who, class performance today by Cash, never gave him a kick, in his pocket. What an utter complete performance, by the whole team, never gave them any space, all game. All over the pitch, our pace and intensity destroyed them. Once again, second half, the ref tried his hardest to give them something, for the life of me, couldn't understand that booking of big Brian.

Jackson is looking better every game, the way hes taking his goals. Man U looking at this, must be prepared to offer Emery, anything he wants, hope he's enjoying it as much as us and tells them to sod off. Came home walking on air, a few pundits and Sky will be upset by it, but our excitement levels are rising and rising UTV.

The yellow at the throw in (Manzambi?) was the one that annoyed me. He didn't move the ball any more than City did throughout the whole game on our set pieces.

Great performance, thoroughly deserved victory.
This is the standard now.
Plaudits across the team and most of all to Unai Emery.
Maresca showing his lack of respect during a spat with some Villa coaches.

Everybody should bring fake notes and wave them at the cheating ones on Saturday.

Monopoly money ?

My moneys on Piccadily.

I wonder how many of those inflatable bananas made it back to Manchester 🤣🤣.

Whack, have you changed your view on Barkley, I still think he is a class act and looks comfortable on the ball, yes he has his iffy moments but name me one who doesn't.

22 Oct 2026 09:30:03
No I stand by my opinion. looked good against Coventry, fenerbache and Viking. all championship standard clubs.
came on against Newcastle and looked terrible, same every time we play a decent team. don't get me wrong I respect the career he's had and he's a good lad but he's not top 10 PL level anymore. decent squad player but when him, Tammy and mings are on the pitch against a top side I'm very nervous.

Tammy especially, every time he comes on it's like playing with 10 men, we have no outlet up front, there is a massive gulf between him and Jackson, was the same when we had Watkins, huge gulf between Tammy and Ollie. we need Madjo to step up, I don't think he will displace Jackson but he will be closer to jacksons level than Tammy.
Backwards Barkley
Tap in Tammy
Mistake mings
All have no place in a top 5 PL team.

Sorry whack, but I'm with Scottie on this one. I think Barclay is very underrated.

22 Oct 2026 18:58:23
SV, I'm glad you agree and we are not on our own. My son in law lives in Luton and is a season ticket holder and I watched them a number of times In the 23/24 premier league season including our game in March when we won 3-2 with late minute goal from Luca Digne. On all occasions Barkley was their best player and his stats for the season were up with the best. Yes it was a while ago however I'm still seeing the same player I did in 2024 and so did Emery that's why he bought him.

We all have players we don't fancy and Whack is entitled to his view, I just happen to thing he is both wrong and unfair. He is however absolutely bang on with tap in Tammy, just a pity would couldn't get him off the wage bill, it appears nobody wanted him even at a knock down price.

23 Oct 2026 17:39:26
Scotty. I've been really disappointed in Tammy. He shows no desire. Maybe he's seen he is third best behind Jackson and Brian and can't be bothered.

24 Oct 2026 00:53:21
It's all about opinions boys. maybe I'll change my mind when he shows up against the top teams, that said he probably won't get the chance as he's not in our best 11 that's consistently picked to start in the PL. judging him on a season 3 years ago is a bit naive, I judge him on current form as he's not a legacy player for us, he's good against lower level teams but he's got zero confidence against the better teams, lots of players had good seasons 3 years ago it doesn't mean you will pin your hopes on them 3 years later.

the brightest turd in a team of turds is still a turd lol, Luton weren't great hence why they went back down. Emery bought him as a squad player and that's what he is, the 5 million we spent on him is peanuts, his price is reflective of his level.
