Match sold out. Burnley only sold 1700 of 3200.

We look totally unbothered tbh,

Everton LOL

Callum Chambers for us, on a free, what a signing he's been. Good all-round footballer. Scored a potential goal of the season for us and also weighed in with one of the best passes I've seen a Villa player play in years.

Really? Burnley going down is the boring end-result. Leeds or Everton going would be much funnier.

Richarlison alone carries as much unlikeability as you'd find in an entire team for most clubs.

Ashley Barnes is such a dirty cunt. He also looks like a 52 year old coal miner.

Ha ha ha, that is brilliant.

*something about a Trapp denying the huns*

To be fair, it is nervewracking

Fucking hell, Steven Davis is playing, I just realised. Fond memories of him with us. He must be 62 by now. Zero noise coming from the fabled Rangers fans, I notice.

Jordan Bowery. One of the very worst, depressing, desperate signings Villa ever made.

So desperate to get a tune out of Grealish they've added a bit of claret to the kit.

Obviously, the only reason anyone is watching this dirge is as they're waiting for the premier of BT's 'Super Villans' documentary at 11.

Shirley he'll be away from there soon enough,

I think someone has come out today and admitted that they made that up.

In fact thinking about ^^^ that, I hope he does come back.

He'd still be here but for Gerrard being massive on attacking full backs, and Digne coming in (who is a much better player in general, but also very attack minded). He did a great job with us, when he had Grealish in front of him, and was very popular with the fans, most of whom can kind of understand why he wanted out when we spent 25m on someone who plays in his position, but are perplexed that we sent him to a team in our 'mini league' or whatever you want to call it. If he came back here and stayed after the loan, absolutely nobody would be complaining. He's a good player, great attitude, just found himself in an awkward place at that point in time.

You're a grump. It's all happening from genuine feeling. It felt like that when we went up through them a few years ago.

Really happy for Forest. It's fucking horrible going through the play offs.

Except when he played for us in the Championship, obvs. Dreadful injury record too.

Also: come on, Forest!

Conor Hourihane is a really good player at Championship level. As is Keinan Davis.

It wasn't really tried much. I think this signing needs to be seen in the context of whatever else we do this summer, and where it leaves the squad, rathe than just the team.

That is exactly the challenge.
