Gordon wasn't sent off because of VAR. The referee walked right over to him straight away.

Did he not hear the whistle go before he made his run? Why was he even challenging for the ball there? Whole thing is just daft as fuck, no excuses for it at all.

Explain to me how pushing someone in the head isn't a red?

People are mad saying it's not a red. Even if it's a mistimed push it doesn't change the fact that he's hit the player in the head. Out for the final now too, brilliant, can't wait to hear the apology. Honestly sickened by this.

Calling it now, if we win tomorrow we'll be away to Bournemouth.

Cunha is a good player but dunno if I could have a hot headed cunt like that here. I do like a bit of needle but stupid red cards I can't have.

People saying Wilson's rusty or whatever, he's always rusty because he's permanently coming back from injury. Can't wait til we've someone else and he's injured and rusty for some other club.

Even if it was offside what was that finish?

Insane that we were holding on at the end there after being 4-1 up. What exactly was the plan in the second half? Good win but we should have hammered them.

What the fuck are we doing here?

This lad is unreal. Probably the best left back I can remember us having in the last 22 years I've been supporting.

Perfect example today of why we should have looked at the loan market. 2 goals for Villa from a loanee, both assisted by another.

Villa fans must be very optimistic with that draw. I fancy them to get past Brugge, Liverpool or PSG in the next round isn't a foregone conclusion either, they could get past them too.

Liverpool vs Villa in the quarters if they get that far.

CL round of 16 draw on now. Real vs Athletico and Bayern vs Leverkusen have drawn already. Villa got Club Brugge too, expect them to win that.

Some info for anyone in Ireland.

Yeah true, it definitely looks like something that could have been built years ago rather than a mid-20s build but I still think it'll be a good job for them. As long as the corporate and VIP stuff are good they'll get plenty of corporate revenue from it, and they'll get concerts. With Anfield though they'll not have the monopoly over concerts and maybe they should have factored that into it. Goodison, while iconic in English football, was a dive though and Everton fans will be rightly over the moon with the new place. FWIW I think the atmosphere will be good there.

Ours will be a different animal though. Basically in the same place, much bigger and money won't be a barrier so it'll be completely state of the art. There's a strong chance ours will be the best in European football, even world football. For a period of time anyway.

Same channel I shared put this up: The man on there reckons it's close to the stadium but it doesn't look like it to me. Looks about a 15/20 minutes walk depending on how fast you can go. As for the carpark with the fences, looks a bit of a mess that.

That Tel for Spurs looks pretty bad IMO. Very wasteful every time he has the ball. Man Utd look absolutely brutal though.

Wolves are a proper striker away from being a really good team. They create so many chances but never take them.

He's finished man and should never be played ahead of Tino. We need to sell in the summer and bring another right back in. Love Tripps for that first couple of years but it's over.

People who think he'll be moved on in the summer or soon into next season, who is coming in after him? Howe is still getting a good tune out of a squad that has been allowed to grow stale because of PSR. He's making what are average players in Burn, Murphy and at times others like Willock look really good. He has developed young lads like Hall, Tino, Miley and Gordon into proper players, some of which have made their England debuts under Howe. He's doing a brilliant job under extremely tough financial constraints while having to sell the likes of Minteh and Anderson who have proven to be good players at other clubs since. People need to remember that the first thing a new manager will have to do is replicate everything above on day one because they're going to be under the same financial constraints, and if they aren't and we've managed to position ourselves that we can spend a bit of money in the summer then why not let Howe do it? Has he not earned the right to finally improve his squad after 2 years? He's got us to two cup finals (so far) and the top 4, he would have got European football last season too only for the FA Cup and he's in line to do it again this year. We're 2 points from 5th which will be a Champions League spot, maybe just chill and give him a chance? We could be in the Champions League again with at least one trophy in the bag in 3 months. People need to remember that there is more to Howe as well. After 14 years of hell this man has come in and brought huge hope, joy and togetherness to our fanbase which money cannot buy, do we really want change and potentially risk a managerial merry-go-round of has-beens like Mourinho who could completely tear all that apart? I know I don't, not just yet.

Gordon has been a disgrace today.
