Ruing Watkins hitting the bar, Villans?

Like when Ozil missed the 8-0 vs Brazil then they let in a consolation

Villa's long passing in that game btw was on a completely unbelievable level

Like, there'd be a 70-yard hoof to feet every time

lol just listening to a scouser blaming the rona, priceless!

They can't make me go to work tomorrow, they just can't

They'll understand

lol congrats to the villa crew. actually more optimistic about lfc winning the league than I was at the start of the season. judging by the other teams mid to high 80s pts might suffice for a change from the recent past. lfc have been relying on one vs one defending and Allison a lot for the last 12 months so tonight was kind of a perfect storm.

that said Everton will probably tonk us post int. break unless Pickford helps out.

frantically changing channel so I can continue cursing Graeme Souness at the top of my lungs

"the Beeb laid off Alan Green"

I'd forgotten about this, in retrospect 🎵 it was a very good year 🎵

Yeah he was the worst. Always used to commentate like he hated football.

Mostly David Beckham though

when he said Beckham was one-paced and overrated show me the lie! But still what a horrible pompous boring arsehole.

when Stanley Crouch died the other week my favourite shame the devil and tell the truth obit was: Meh! He was just the Alan Green of Jazz!

Beckham is now underrated

"let's not get excited about teams down the bottom" in response to being asked the controversial question of whether Ollie Watkins might turn out to be a good Premier League striker, lovely guy

I know Liverpool hardly covered themselves in glory today and at least two of the goals pinged off defenders but Watkins looks like the real deal based on today. Grealish's last goal was tremendous as well.

Well... frankly I can't get to sleep now even though I'm exhausted and have work in the morning. I'm too keyed up by AVFC's win over Liverpool today (7-2?!?! I'd been happy with a 2-2 draw!!!) and a teaser of some news from Duran Duran (because I am nothing if not stereotypical) to sleep, plus I finally got my laptop to work after months of putting off a much-needed repair job on it so I'm happily using said laptop again and ahhhh, I'm just too excited to sleep but I must!

i was on the road today and completely missed Liverpool.

are Aston Villa gonna be a top table team? 3-0 already.

Gunnersaurus out.

Pls @jeremycorbyn can you save Gunnersaurus

Enjoy, Dee!

Will anyone ever actually sign Said Benrahma? Envisaging him repeatedly pricing himself further out of anyone's budget with an escalating series of wondergoals

He's been linked with Palace and he'd improve them but that also seems kind of enh

Manchester United are now in advanced talks to sign Amad Traoré [2002 top talent] from Atalanta on a permanent deal! Deal collapsed with Parma (after announcement) and Man Utd in talks.
Work permit still pending, deal to be completed now or on next January. 🔴 #MUFC #DeadlineDay

I don't know who he is, but he will save us

...in January

ffs

Not sure an 18-year old winger, even a prodigiously talented one, is really what you need right now.

hard to say though what they do

a really good centre-back might be a start though

Idly wondering if Southgate is enjoying going into the international break with his first choice CB pairing having conceded 13 goals between them yesterday.

the crown has passed to mings and dier

mings should be in the side regardless tbh, he is as the kids say 'levels'

no i am not a villa fan now. merely a new sympathiser. as are half the kids in the playground today

swapsies john mcginn for my kevin de bruyne

Fuck a mascot and all that but also fuck any club making a mascot redundant to save money when they're still buying £20-30m players.
Like furlough the guy until the fans are back. It'll cost a few thousand a year - less than any first team player gets a week.

still paying Ozil 350k a week to do nothing

Exactly, he can wear the dinosaur suit.

consternation amongst the junior fans as Gunnersaurus goes missing for several games at a time

Gunnersaurus and Erdogan suddenly BFF's

Hahaha

footcelsiors all round

after Sarr now apparently

panic button well and truly pressed

A propos of nothing, of all the shit that's happened in football post-Covid, I'm not sure anything has weirded me out more than Ashley Young being capable of growing hair all along

Beginning to worry about the total lack of any evidence that Werder Bremen winger Milot Rashica is being teleported to Bodymoor Heath for a medical with a view to becoming part of the most cataclysmically devastating front four in the Western hemisphere

What a shit week

as i've already implied, it's the luiz/mcginn double pivot that really gets me. how did that almost get relegated

McGinn was badly injured most of the season and wasn't really back to his best til last couple of games this season, Luiz took a long time to settle and figure out how much time he does/doesn't have on the ball at this level - his appearing to figure it out post lockdown was a big contributing factor to us staying up imo

sorry Biscuits

Bild expect Milot Rashica’s move from Werder Bremen to Bayer Leverkusen to be announced shortly. #SVW #B04 #AVFC

All this talk about United's defence needing improvemt but only Liverpool (33) and city (35) conceded less goals than United (36) in the league last season...
Morgan

I mean, he's got a point. Lot of fuss about nothing really

Hearing reports that Bayer Leverkusen's director of football dropped the paperwork for Rashica down a drain at 17:59 local time, and that Rashica himself subsequently turned out to be a child sitting on another child's shoulders wearing a big coat
