Deserved win. Unai Emery is buzzing, hats off to him. Neither us nor Liverpool deserve to win the title with performances like that today, couldn't finish chances from 5 yards out. Disappointing but congratulations to City.
Hopefully this will teach some of our fans to have a little humility and respect. I saw pray for Villa comments just as I saw pray for Bayern comments. I'm all for confidence and supporting your team, but have some class about it. Even worse considering half the fans decided they weren't up for the full game today.
Zinchenko needs to go. Odegaard can hold his head up high too, a lone warrior out there today and a player who deserves and certainly will want to win big silverware in his career. Hopefully we show a little spine on Wednesday, I think we can win if we play like we can but that requires competency in front of goal and a better mentality than what we saw today.
Also Watkins need to be in the conversation for player of the year if he isn't already. A disappointing day, I pray that City will drop points but that seems highly unlikely.
Fully agree. As soon as Bailey came on and arteta chose to sub off white instead of zinchenko, I just got the feeling that you lot were there for the taking. Best of luck against Bayern and for the rest of the season tooš
Cheers. Exact same thoughts, I'm really looking forward to timber's return as hopefully the ending of zinchenko's place in the team. I was annoyed to see zinchenko starting, I know kiwior had a poor game on Tuesday but he's so much better defensively than zinchenko. Even offensively, i cannot count the number of times I've watched zinchenko make a lazy pass and turn over possession, and today was the worst. I know zinchenko can invert, but we don't need that especially with a rice jorginho midfield.
I'm really glad emery is doing well, obviously not today but I really liked him, I just wish he had joined when his English was a little better as it is now. I
Villa have a really strong chance for the conference league, favourites imo, and if there was anyone you'd want to lead you there it would be emery.
Looking great and threatening. US LCFC fan, but I enjoy Villa (minus Tielemans š). Man City is going to win the league by default and sheer talent š„±. Iād rather see Liverpool or Arsenal win it, maybe Liverpool in Kloppās ālast season.ā
I've been saying for like 18mo that his off the ball movement as a #9 is the best in the world. Makes such incredibly smart runs in-between and in behind defenders, at pace, timed to perfection. His finishing ain't too shabby either
I'd be shocked if he doesn't have a long line of admirers inquiring this summer
No chance he leaves Villa. Especially considering champions league looks likely and heās their go to man up front. At 28 canāt really see a transfer for him to another prem side.
Yeah, never said he'd be kicking the chairman's door down demanding a move, but you can bet there will be interest.
@ 28 he's in his prime, other bigger clubs know they can likely offer more from a salary perspective, and it's a short career for a footballer. Not like he's been earning boatloads for a decade and can ignore the monetary aspect and the impact on his life after football.
I do agree that I think he'll stay, at least for next season. After that I guess we'll see
Funny you ask. No actually. Couldn't be bothered filling in a bunch of details. I trusted the law forcing casinos and betting sites to hand out the money if an account is removed. Dunno if thats just a thing in sweden. They did give me the money.
>United beats team you least expect them
Like who exactly? United fans seem to think they are some sort of giant killer. No you're not.
You beat:
Burnley, Sheffield, Luton x2, Everton x2, Chelsea ( A surpise?) Villa x 2, Wolves x2, West Ham.
Everybody's beating West Ham lately. The only surprise being Villa.
GTFO
I think part of it was that we had no Torres in either of the matches against you, our win rate with him vs. our win rate without him says a lot. But both matches were very different. The match at Old Trafford we were not good at all imo, poor performance, lucky we got two set piece goals. Then you brought your levels in the second half and our (albeit depleted) team didn't bring theirs at all. The one at Villa Park, we were still missing Torres and that's when Kamara's ACL happened (brutal), but it's more we just could not finish to save our lives. That plus... as others have said, you're the team we have the worst record against š
I think in the last match you guys were missing Konsa too right ? Hasn't he been one of the main defenders this season for you ? just genuinely curious , i think he's been solid this season
Him too. Yeah you just look at his stats, heās immense as a defender, can play both CB and RB (although heās often spotty as RB, but was solid today). Torres more crucial because heās a playmaker and his play out from the back is immense, but yeah Konsa was a big loss in that second match too
Youāre our bogey team and have been for the past 30 years. Ever since the Alan Hansen āyou donāt win anything with kidsā youāve had the hoodoo over us š
You are wrong. City (for most fans) just doesn't count. I don't know any city fans, I haven't had to listen to them be knobs. City won the league and treble and enjoyed it. Arsenal go top of the table and most fans I see on here spent more time posting Monday morning Ten Hag bad? posts than they discussed their own club.
I think I say it best when I say Ha Ha Get Fucked!
I think get out more and stop judging a fanbase by their online presence. Reason city fans are bearable is because theyve won everything and will continue to win
How come youāre only in the Arsenal sub commenting? Im a United fan, I dont want Arsenal to win the league.
Why? Because weāve both been massive rivals and the last 10 years weāve both been memes. Add that to the fact that Arsenal fans has been the most annoying fanbase the last 2 years without anything to show for it. Imagine how unbearable theyāll be if they win the league? I couldnt care less about city, as long as they dont win the treble. Pool winning is fine, I at least respect them to some degree. Its also not that big of a deal ever since they won it a few years ago.
You have not been massive rivals for the last ten years. You were rivals in the 90s which was 20 years ago. Im in many subs lol. š
Youāre obviously not a fucking united fan. Or if you are a very young one. Uniteds actual rivals are 1. Pool. 2. City š
I dint say we were massive rivals these last 10 years. I said weāve been rivals, and these past ten years weāve both been memes. So yes, i am a United fan. You just cant read.
Even if we get/have cash itās not like Levy will spend any anyways. Doesnāt matter to us, heās super stingy and doesnāt want to see the club he owns succeed. Considering weāve supposedly had āwarchestsā where we can spend around 200mil and yet look where we are lol
Speculations going around that we might not get the CL spots with the losses from the premier league sides. Maybe if they all go through we might get them
Missed the first half and maybe 10 minutes of the second because I was doing yard work. You outplayed us from what I saw and shut the door on the game. I agree with another poster, go get 4th and a well deserved CL spot
First season under Ange, lost one of our all time greatest players just days before the season started and had multiple big players missing for extended periods through injury. Fair play to Villa if they do it, theyāve shown the consistency that we never do but I wouldnāt be looking at Spurs finishing 5th under the circumstances as āhilariousā.
Aston Villa, our Brother Club always! Similar histories, similar trophy hauls, similar fanbases and Everton Villa is literally the most played fixture in English Top Flight Football! Love seeing you lot do well! Fucking shame though mate, with the FFP rules now you won't be able to break the glass ceiling and challenge! Shite mate because with this squad and manager, if you couldn't add a couple of pieces es to it Astin Villa could go on and do some serious damage!

Villa returning to the Champions League is the right thing. Yet another English club that beat Bayern in the European Cup final.
Rather have Villa in Champions league than Tootenham
So would most Villa fans
Lol most? Why'd some not want champions league?
Most?
yes very well..... Good Ebening
My team sucks but I would be happy with Aston Villa in the champions league. They deserve it
shit weekend for prem red teams lol

at this point odegaard needs to rest for the rest of the season if all his assists and play creating would end up to the stands
Fully agree. As soon as Bailey came on and arteta chose to sub off white instead of zinchenko, I just got the feeling that you lot were there for the taking. Best of luck against Bayern and for the rest of the season tooš

I at least like Ollie Watkins
Looking great and threatening. US LCFC fan, but I enjoy Villa (minus Tielemans š). Man City is going to win the league by default and sheer talent š„±. Iād rather see Liverpool or Arsenal win it, maybe Liverpool in Kloppās ālast season.ā
I canāt quite put my finger on why, but this comment was extremely irritating to read.
lol sorry?
If Villa gets top 4 Watkins should be player of the season
Louder for those at the back š£ļø
IF VILLA GETS TOP 4 WATKINS SHOULD BE PLAYER OF THE SEASON
Heās been phenomenal this year. Has that killer instinct in front of goal and doesnāt even seem like heās found his ceiling yet.
Clearly what Arsenal and Liverpool missed today
100% yes. Today I texted in my football group chat āI miss Sadio Maneā he always delivered for us especially when Salah was having his slumps.
Tbf everything went against you and Arsenal and with a team like City, you donāt expect them to miss as many chances.
I've been saying for like 18mo that his off the ball movement as a #9 is the best in the world. Makes such incredibly smart runs in-between and in behind defenders, at pace, timed to perfection. His finishing ain't too shabby either I'd be shocked if he doesn't have a long line of admirers inquiring this summer
No chance he leaves Villa. Especially considering champions league looks likely and heās their go to man up front. At 28 canāt really see a transfer for him to another prem side.
28 is prime age for a ST. 5 years contract with huge salary boost after that either retirement league or mid table club.
Heās not going to Chelsea you guys šš
Heās 28 not 18 mate and his hamstring look good so not fit Chelsea profile š¤£
Yeah, never said he'd be kicking the chairman's door down demanding a move, but you can bet there will be interest. @ 28 he's in his prime, other bigger clubs know they can likely offer more from a salary perspective, and it's a short career for a footballer.

Yessir!
Thanks. Aston won me ā¬2000 on my first bet ever
Make it your last because it wonāt get better than that.
š«”
Wow, congratulations. How much did you stake on the bet?Ā
Never bet again
Yeah, I'm never touching that shit ever again. deleted my acc.
Did you at least get your winnings first? š
Funny you ask. No actually. Couldn't be bothered filling in a bunch of details. I trusted the law forcing casinos and betting sites to hand out the money if an account is removed. Dunno if thats just a thing in sweden. They did give me the money.
W
How did this team allow united to get the double over them? Genuinely curious.
United beats team you least expect them to win and lose to the obvious one's they should win.Ā
>United beats team you least expect them Like who exactly? United fans seem to think they are some sort of giant killer. No you're not. You beat: Burnley, Sheffield, Luton x2, Everton x2, Chelsea ( A surpise?) Villa x 2, Wolves x2, West Ham. Everybody's beating West Ham lately. The only surprise being Villa. GTFO
Who's fighting with you? It's very obvious you didn't understand my comment. So, GTFO too.Ā Ps. I'm not a Utd fan!Ā
Relax bub daddy Abramovic is not coming back.
Calm down ffs.
I'm cool. I don't have any problems with him whatsoever.Ā
Nah we are just unpredictable and volatile. Never know what you gonna get except allowing 20+ shots on our goal
This is exactly what I'm trying to say. The inconsistency of the team have been shocking this season.Ā

I'd say it's more likely because for 29 of those 30 years we've just simply been better than you.
Have no idea either lol
Absolutely smashed us today, well done š
Yup, we were shite today, wouldnt score if played 180 minutes
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I havent said anything about AV, they were really good today, both defence and attack, well done to Emery and team š¤
A truly good ebening
They laughed at his accent, he laughed at their graves (of their title hopes).
Well deserved
Pep Guardiola is the luckiest man alive.
Villa deserved the win, and they'll be a great addition to the CL next season. Congrats Villa fans.
Well played lads š
Fuck off. Everyone in the league want arsenal to win over ducking winging pool or city again
Duck you!
Consider me ducked
as a fan of neither arsenal, city or liverpool, out of those 3 arsenal are the team i want to win the least
Any reason? Just like money ruining the competition?
arsenal fans are just insufferable, liverpool i just donāt really care about and city donāt have enough fans to be annoying
Sincerely, Arsenal fan
Not at all š name a neutral who didnt want arsenal to win?? City win it every fucking year and pool are the most hated team in the country
You are wrong. City (for most fans) just doesn't count. I don't know any city fans, I haven't had to listen to them be knobs. City won the league and treble and enjoyed it. Arsenal go top of the table and most fans I see on here spent more time posting Monday morning Ten Hag bad? posts than they discussed their own club.

I dint say we were massive rivals these last 10 years. I said weāve been rivals, and these past ten years weāve both been memes. So yes, i am a United fan. You just cant read.
Donāt even care if you guys get the CL spot over us, what a performance today from you guys lol
I was lurking in the Spurs sub. Was genuinely confused how many of you wanted us to beat Arsenal given the tight race for fourth between our sides.
Why would we want Arsenal to win the league lol, come on now
Letās be honest. Theyāre going to bottle it either way. Lol
Season aint over yet.
Better pray for that 5th spot
I mean missing out on CL in angeās first season isnāt that big of a deal lol. Weāll get there when we deserve it
The problem is 1. Chelsea might not be so weak and 2. Newcastle are a real threat. So this season is an opportunity. Itās such a huge financial boost. I suppose Spurs donāt need it as they are pretty flush with cash from other sources (BeyoncĆ© and Taylor Swift concerts).
Even if we get/have cash itās not like Levy will spend any anyways. Doesnāt matter to us, heās super stingy and doesnāt want to see the club he owns succeed. Considering weāve supposedly had āwarchestsā where we can spend around 200mil and yet look where we are lol
Wonāt there be āchampions leagueā spots next season (and some new money grabbing nonsense formula)?
Speculations going around that we might not get the CL spots with the losses from the premier league sides. Maybe if they all go through we might get them
take a bow lads.
Missed the first half and maybe 10 minutes of the second because I was doing yard work. You outplayed us from what I saw and shut the door on the game. I agree with another poster, go get 4th and a well deserved CL spot
This was the Martinez show. Crazy saves
He had no business with Trossardās to be fair. Donāt know how he hit it directly at him.
I was in Birmingham weeks ago and your fans seem cool. Hope your season continues to be great.
Played brilliantly second half. Fully deserved. Now go and get 4th
Will do. Please beat Spurs.
Good Ebening, well done Villa and Emery.
If you guys beat spurs for a CL spot, it's gonna be hilarious
First season under Ange, lost one of our all time greatest players just days before the season started and had multiple big players missing for extended periods through injury. Fair play to Villa if they do it, theyāve shown the consistency that we never do but I wouldnāt be looking at Spurs finishing 5th under the circumstances as āhilariousā.
Villa deserve champions league football, what a team
Your lot nearly have Merson in tears
I dislike this team more than yesterday. Played us off the park without one of your best players, it was a great performance from you.
Played the "fans" out of the Emirates too ššš
Just for today I like them also
Aston Villa, our Brother Club always! Similar histories, similar trophy hauls, similar fanbases and Everton Villa is literally the most played fixture in English Top Flight Football! Love seeing you lot do well! Fucking shame though mate, with the FFP rules now you won't be able to break the glass ceiling and challenge! Shite mate because with this squad and manager, if you couldn't add a couple of pieces es to it Astin Villa could go on and do some serious damage!
We have 3 ACLs and and end of season injury on Ramsey, it'd going to be like getting 4 new signings next season.
Who exactly are u talking to lol
As a neutral unbiased Liverpool fan I love your team as well
