A superb first half should have had more than one. Second half solid, I thought Ollie got his mojo back, Digne had a superb game, great to have SJM and Tielemans back. I have to question Emery regarding Bailey, he obviously sees things that most of us can't. Hopefully this will kickstart our resurgence.

Scotty, are you alright? I'm really worried, only kicking Bailey? Bloody hell. Get yourself down the Dr's for a check up.

I am in a bar in Tenerife that has had the Villa game and Forrest on two TVs next to each other, one game exciting teams trying to score and one team playing slow deliberate football. Guess which one.
We are such a boring lacklustre watch. We are playing a weak second rate team and nothing is changing slow tempo without a clue how to attack. Glad I have restaurant booked for 9 o'clock.

Have a good holiday, Scotty, don't let Villa ruin it, mate. lol.

Jonny, give your head a wobble, and take a day off. We won, we are in the Quarter finals. UTV.

Apparently Mings was one of our best players and his aerial height was vital. Obviously injuries aren't helping but our form is not good, both Man U and Chelsea are looking as they will catch us sooner than later. We need to deal with what we have and get on with it.
Wednesday is vital we stop the rot or Europe could become a problem. I see Bailey was woeful and gave the ball away far to often, obviously got to give him time but he was singled out in the press as our worst player, appreciate he came off the bench but hope we didn't get Bailey MK2.

Tomorrow is the time to reverse the disappointing performances of late, Ollie is apparently fit and starts, Onana is reportedly ok as well, so we need to show the teams around us that we are not easy to play against and that's definitely not the case.
I have a ticket for tomorrow's game and off up the A34 in the morning, I'm hoping for something positive and a strong performance, another defeat would show our competing teams that we are not up for the fight.

Good post scotty I have to agree, time to roll up our sleeves. on the plus side Bournemouth at home will come at us so hopefully leave some space to get in behind them
23 Jan 2026 19:26:43
I understand we have a ten million surplus from the Malen/ Tammy deal, taking in to account the younger kid.Wonder if we are lining up a big money signing and every penny counts, we will certainly know pretty soon???
1.) 24 Jan 2026 15:32:56
There's not a 10m surplus at all. 21m euros and Ozcan. Cash wise its about 3m if we're lucky.
2.) 24 Jan 2026 17:06:01
There are some loopholes around signing youth players so it’s possible that although we didn’t make cash profit on him it could contribute more than the 3 million towards psr.
3.) 24 Jan 2026 17:15:04
Dave I think that Sky getting it wrong again, they reported we go something stupid like 30 m Euros for the kid . UTV

Absolutely no excuses now, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man U, one point between all of them this weekend, it's now down to us to perform. Failure from here is self inflicted.
1.) 22 Mar 2026 08:45:31
Every game is easy, isn't it?
West Ham will be no pushovers today, let me tell you. They are scrapping for points, although I will be watching it in Lanzarote in a West Ham bar. I would rather be playing a mid-table team today, nothing to play for.
2.) 22 Mar 2026 11:52:55
Three points and ??☀️☀️☀️ can't be bad. Enjoy, Daz. UTV.
3.) 22 Mar 2026 13:44:53
Good to have Barkley in the team. He gives us more of a physical presence, and doesn't panic on the ball. Our bench looks the strongest it's been for a couple of months. 2-1 win today. UTV.
21 Mar 2026 16:55:21
Again Man U and Liverpool have failed to forge ahead of us, let's hope Chelsea also stumble. As results have gone our way recently it's now up to us to use our future points gained going forward to protect our Champions League places, without relying on others failing. Tomorrow has to be the start of our improved results and performances, after tomorrow comes the international break where we can get the walking wounded back.
Remember it's still within our hands to get top five, if we fail to do this it will be on our own shoulders and the inquests won't be kind, so come on Emery and players, show us why you won eleven games on the trot, we have the players let's put it all together. West Ham won't be easy they are playing better but we should be able to get the three points and with the upcoming break we should be raring to go after a longish break.
20 Mar 2026 00:20:58
Let's hope confidence is sky high after tonight's win. Sancho has to start on Sunday. Tammy is not the answer nor is Luiz. We need to up the tempo and stop these slow tactics that are stifling how we play. So Berkley and Ollie, as poor as he has been, should start on Sunday.
Maeetsen and Torres can't defend so get rid, Emery has had enough time with our poor run to sort it out, of course a win is a win but it's only papering over the cracks at the moment with this win, remember the the last ten games.
1.) 20 Mar 2026 07:41:13
So, we lose and Emery and the team are rubbish, win after a rocky period, and we are no good either! It reminds me of the old adage you can't please all of the people all of the time. In your case, Scot, they can't please you any time.
2.) 20 Mar 2026 10:28:00
Whoever plays apparently aren't good enough. What about the 10 games before the last 10 games, Scotty? What were we papering over then? Don't get why all the negativity. Why pay money to watch something you clearly don't like?
3.) 20 Mar 2026 11:26:09
That's how most Villa fans feel. It's been like this since xmas.
4.) 20 Mar 2026 12:27:17
Most?. ??????
19 Mar 2026 21:09:59
When will Torres pass to someone in the same coloured shirt? Absolutely clueless.
15 Jan 2026 18:00:34
Dave it won't be the first mistake we have made recently
12 Aug 2024 16:33:45
With your there as well LOTM,
04 Jan 2023 16:08:37
Pity England wasn't a full time gig, Maguire would be in permanently. Man U defence with Maguire at the heart have been poor for a while, why would want a slow centre back.
27 May 2022 11:10:46
Its pretty much ball park what i thought, i think Elghazi will struggle to get anywhere near 10 i also think with ings wages, teams likely to want him will want to pay around 10 so he can maintain his wages.Ings still has time to run on his contract so he may want to sit tight, we would have to drop our valuation to get his wages off the books.
26 May 2022 19:49:24
Whack,Loti we are up to 15,how much do you think this lot would fetch?
20 Mar 2026 20:13:44
Dave, pure greed.
19 Mar 2026 22:25:35
Bucky, he was never the answer.
19 Mar 2026 22:24:15
Jonny, unfortunately, Emery doesn't see it.
18 Mar 2026 17:53:17
Our recruitment has been scandalous, VJ and Dan, and to add insult to injury we go back to three who failed: Dougie, Bailey, and Tammy. Add Guessand, Onana, and Malen, all Emery signings. Success is measured in many ways: recruitment, trophies, and league position. Is one of three enough? Obviously not for a few of us.
15 Mar 2026 16:33:34
Dave, we are not strong enough in every department, let alone the 50 50's. I'm getting really fed up with Emery's tactics and team selections. Bailey, Buendia, and Watkins are the worst examples. How long does it have to go on before anything changes? It's been two months of abject failure.
