Villa guaranteed fifth and at least one Europa League place. If we were to win the Europa Conference League what happens to the Europa League place we'd be awarded?
When Mings played in 2022 for England I'm not sure we lost any matches, when Maguire came back in we did (see Hungary, where he was a disaster). Shame then that Mings is recovering still and by the...
Doesn't Fernandes play for Man United?
The classic lose-lose situation!
What we've both learnt from the last couple of months is neither Villa nor Spurs are capable of stringing two victories together. Leading Brentford 2-0 at home we...
Can I just check with any Spurs fans, would you rather Villa beat Arsenal to hurt their title chase even though it moves us three points (and some extra goal difference) clear, or would you rather we...
Ollie Watkins second in goals scored table (one behind Haaland) so far this season and first for assists. He doesn't take penalties either.

I think Villa did remarkably well to only end up losing that one 4-1.
This is the most interesting team I've seen Villa put out in a very long time. With Martinez out we're relying on his deputy, who has been very low on confidence when he's played previously. I can't...
Yes, and Duran is going to give them hell tomorrow. It's worth putting a bet on either him or Rogers being sent off before the first half is over.
Pah, Aston Villa do disappointment much better than your rabble!
Exceptional, totally dominant performance. Now we need to build on it.
Yup, we made Spurs look like Champions League contenders we were so woeful today. I thought Rogers looked great against Ajax, I couldn't work out why, against fast players, we put an extra player in...
Come now, Terry, you do whine a lot.
Villa seem to not be able to handle teams with pacey wingers who press, see both Newcastle matches and this one today. Still, we won three out of the last four games against Spurs. I wonder if the...
I strongly suspect the referee at the Ajax/Villa match last night won't be officiating another European match for some time. Yellow cards issued at random and a sending off apiece. Still, 0-0 away...
Perhaps the total losses for the club as a whole over the last year have been added up? I don't know. A -£120m figure makes a nice headline either way.
If that's the costs over three years for the youth and women's team costs it sounds more realistic. £15million per year over the last three years for some of the youth players we've bought in?
...
I read an explanation for the Villa loss and if correct makes an interesting read:
20/21 £37.3m loss
21/22 £0.4m profit
22/23 £119.6m loss
Total £156.5m loss
Covid losses: £56m
Youth team:...
Matty 'The Butcher' Cash really rates him
Also just one behind Sala in total goal contributions this season (he's the only striker in double figures for assists).
Yes and I don't think we caught Chelsea offside at all, a hallmark of Emery's time with Villa. I think Emery's first-choice back four is Konsa, Torres, Mings and Digne (with Digne compensating more...
That's slightly unfair on Watkins, his supply hasn't exactly been up to much. Too much dithering on the ball and then passing it from side to side while every opposition player falls in and defends...
The story was up there this morning but I can't see where it is now.
