Normal service these days! 😔

Aside from the massive names of those times, Valeron came second only to Pablo Aimar - my favourite La Liga player ever…x

It’s a great list, this. I’m glad Valeron hasn’t been forgotten by some. Oozed class.

How many am I allowed to list!? 😅

Big love, Villans. Merry Christmas! 😎✌️

Just learned that Jack Grealish hasn’t scored in any of his last 35 appearances.

He starts today, against his former club.

And that’s all I have to say.

😟🫣

So many times in the recent past we’ve played against teams/players who (at that time) were in absolutely wretched form only for them to rediscover their mojo the second their boots touch the Villa Park turf.

Let’s not allow City to begin to change their fortunes today.

👀

We won’t be “pushing top 4” come the end of the season, unless something drastic changes, pronto.

Our lack of attacking intent/ideas along with our easily meltable defence make us quite an easy side to play against and beat.

If we achieve top 8 I’d be satisfied but I fear that’ll be a stretch!

On a lot of occasions this season, our substitutions have made little to no sense. Taking off Kamara, our heartbeat and midfield general, whether he needed rest or not, was a dreadful call yesterday. Tielemans I can kind of understand, he’s physically quite a way behind, no dynamism at all from him.

If they don’t and we do take a slide we’ve only ourselves to blame for not taking care of our own business.

The way we’ve played overall in the league this season, it’s a surprise we’re as high as we find ourselves!

Haven’t looked like a convincing top-6 side all year, bar maybe a handful of games

Heading for a rare away clean sheet, making a one-in-a-million save…

All for his “protection” to dessert him in the last 10/15 minutes.

Our defence need to man the fuck up and show everyone what they’re made of.

Won’t get anywhere fast if we need to score 2+ goals a game to win any points.

So comfortable at 1-0 but the way we’ve folded and failed to get even a single point absolutely boils my blood.

Need to see out tough away fixtures like those, that are in our hands, if we’re to progress even further. Forest a decent side, sure, but we ought to expect better from ourselves.

Fucking joke.

Up the JD!!! 😎💪

That’s seriously one of the best stops you’ve ever seen in your life.

Emiliano Martinez, you monster.

Hard to really praise or berate the side after such a comfortable yet mundane half of football.

Nice to see us largely untroubled at the back but, bar Rogers, not much is coming together in an attacking sense.

Room for improvement but we do look the better side. A win here would be lovely.

Needed to drag him way into the 6-yard-box for it to be adjudged as a foul. 😵‍💫

Not my favourite…

Indian far more preferable!

I’m banking on it to fund my celebratory takeaway dinner later! 😅

Villa to win by 2 or more goals.

Jhon Duran to score anytime.

Good day to you. ✌️

Bald is best.

As usual. 😘

Maybe Ten Hag wasn’t so bad after all? 👀

Time after time he just seems to be that one step ahead, in terms of his anticipation. Silky smooth composure on the ball and makes correct decisions a lot more often than not. All traits of top-tier players.

Really tough call regarding who plays with him; glad it’s not my decision to make!

Boubacar Kamara.

What a player he is.

You’ll see less error-strewn games in League 2 this weekend.

The level of sloppiness we’ve witnessed in this match has been pretty shocking.

Happy to be leading, though!

Bailey’s spent more time on his ass than on his fucking studs so far. 💀

Gerrin there, Johnny D!!! 😎😜

I’d quite like us to stop allowing Southampton to conduct proceedings and actually get a grip of the game ourselves.

Gear up, Villa, come on.

How the fuck’s he not deemed that to be a foul on Tielemans there!? 😵‍💫

Christ, can we get a grip on the game again please? 😟
