If he'd lost a leg I'd still have had him on the bench to bring him on right at the end. He's earned it this season.

To be fair we call Bruno by that name because when he signed there were that many differeny pronunciations of Guimaraes.

They might fly out the ref from the Liverpool game yesterday. That should generate the extra minutes.

He'll want to finish 3rd but as soon as Champs league is assured he'll be focused on next season. That could well mean Bruno has the needed op before Chelsea. Ashby may well get a start and Miley (to show prospective youngsters that there is a route to first team..... I'm looking at you Chris Rigg) or quite possibly Anderson.

He'll have to fight Ashby for it. There's a reason we were after him for a while and my only Hammers fan mate was pissed off when he left.

Apart from the ground that goes for the others as well. They're there because they deserve to be. I quute like having some new blood in there.

Proper clubs ?

All right. How about a dry sheet ?

A clean sheet will do it.

Any truth that Liverpool are going to be allowed another 5 minutes after the Villa coach has pulled away ?

I just wanted it done as soon as possible.

Lush Lasses ?

Watkins head injury as well. Nowhere near 9mins though.

And two of them yellows in their own right.

If Villa win and if Everton get beat (as they currently are) I'd happily play the reserves on Monday and take the loss.

Villa look good, Brighton also, if Liverpool, Spurs and Chelsea do get it together next season could be a great battle for European spots.

I just mean for some the shirt pull looks worse when the intention and end result are tge same but one's a booking the other isn't and if anything the Henderson lunge is worse and more dangerous.

Henderson foul on McGinn there, if he pulls his shirt to stop the break he gets booked yet no booking because it was a "tackle".

But if he played for Palace or Leeds he'd get booked every game.

Never had a problem when at Villa, even in their version of The Strawberry, helps I've never seen us lose there. Brummie is canny as well. Only black spot is them going a bit OTT at our relegation.

He always is holding it, stretching it. Scares the life out of me every game

True.

Hope he doesn't need to play

Think Brighton.

Wasn't that when Grealish scored v Brighton to win us the Championship ?
