Here's hoping! Come on, Villa!


(Picture is for metaphorical reasons only; I don't want Selhurst Park to burn down. Well, maybe a little...)

[jimmy jazz]

Fucking come on!

@DeepMinder semi final of the FA Cup. We haven't won it since 1957. I know you won't watch the full thing but I'll post the highlights for your ass.

Come on!

Highlights on BBC later tonight. I have the whole thing set up for recording. Gonna be a nervous afternoon...

When was the last time you watched a full game?

If Ireland got to the World Cup final, would you watch that or would you just wait for the highlights?

I reckon I watch three full games a week approximately. Every Villa match and then whatever interests me from the rest of the fixtures. Tomorrow I'll be watching Forest for example.

I am going to find it now. I wonder what Amazon Prime gives out for games because they do like one game a week if you have Prime.

One of the worst days of football ever. What a letdown. Another year without a trophy.

What a dreadful past week and a half.

Same old shitty story.

And to top it off its my birthday.

I watched Villa live in the CL every match. I alos watched it (recorded) full thing tonight, though once Palace scored their second goal I did fast forward as it looked like it would be a waste of time watching the rest. I was of course right. The highlights thing was for Mindy's benefit, by the way.

We played terribly and Palace deserved their win. At times it was like League One against Premier League. Don't see them getting past Forest or City though. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with us; we had barely a shot on goal all game, and that first goal should have been ruled in so really we could have lost 4-0. Terrible performance. Hopefully the team will come back stronger next season. This one is as good as gone.

Oh, and Happy Birthday!

We've got to get CL so that this season isn't a complete failure.

Win our last four and we do it. I think we can. Fulham home, Bournemouth away, Tottenham home, MU away. Bournemouth is the hardest, the other three are shit.

[Trollheart]

Agree. Need to put in the effort now and make a big sprint for the finish line. What do you think of Rashford not playing due to "unspecified injury"? His not ruling out returning to Man U worries me.

[jimmy jazz]

I don't really rate him anyway and for £40m and £200k per week in wages (at least, he's on about 350k at MU) we can do better.

Plus he hasn't been that great anyway.

I'd rather give his spot to Malen tbh.
