Gonna get jumped on for this but this has always been my opinion and still is - hated Rafa when he was manager for us and hate him now, his football bored me and I hate it whenever I read “rafaesq or Rafa style”. i know I’m in the minority and it’s just me but that’s my opinion.

So we are about the same standard as West Ham at the moment. I’ll take that all day long - great point now come on Liverpool!!!

Been at work, how have we played?

I’m glad somebody’s taking the blame

Bearing in mind when howe started we were 5 or 6 points cut adrift from safety (Watford I think it was), being on only 5 points after 10 games. Now unbeaten in 6 and a 3 game winning streak - what a turnaround.

I knew we’d win today?

Seems to be

Tough one - on one hand would be nice to rest ASM and sub hims as he’s so important but he could turn it on at any point.

That’s what you call krafth work

Yep, if there was even a slight risk then he shouldn’t have been out there.

These are the decisions that earn you the big money or get you the mackems job

Agreed, thinking beyond this game, if ASM is struggling and trippier is out for a while then we’re gonna need ASM back as quick as possible. Get him off and get Bruno on

Because with joelington on a yellow is risky perhaps? The last sub is a massive decision now, Bruno is always gonna be the man on I feel but who comes off?

We’re winning at the moment so that seems harsh

Seems to be, our injury record is insane

We haven’t been beaten when he’s played yet so I’m not gonna slag him off

Think you’re probably right

Seems people are already trying to get under Bruno’s skin, very little facts in this story and a very misleading headline to boot - just loads of details left out to possibly to insinuate more then there is? Bruno falls out in dressing room row

Then is that burn in LB I wonder?

Genuine question as I’m not watching their games - is he playing that well or is it just commentators and reporters loving him? He scored recently and the headlines were “Courtinho scores for Villa!!!” was it headline worthy?

Massive breathing space, 5 points above Norwich with a game in hand and superior goal difference meaning a draw against West Ham leaves then needing 7 points realistically. At that point I expect them to lose some fight as some players heads will drop surely.

I had a so called friend who was a Villa fan, when i I got married I invited him to the wedding - after the speeches etc he came up to me and my wife and said “thanks for the invite, wasn’t expecting one as I don’t like you and am only here for the food and drink, I get married next month and there’s no f&£cking way you’re getting an invite to my wedding”. He did get married the next month and didn’t invite me (by this point I couldn’t care less though). My point being is I can’t stand him as that still gave my wife a bad memory on that day and I can’t stand Villa.

I honestly hope you lot get to say I told you so and I look an idiot, I really do because if we win today I think we’re pretty much safe as this will go a long way towards it.

One being a fantastic free kick that don’t happen every game and one a crazy deflection - don’t expect that every game. Before the Everton game you have to go back to the 20th November against Brentford for the last time we scored more than one goal.

My apologies, I’ll be optimistic so I think we’ll beat them 9 - 0 and to quote the great SBR “you can’t score any more than that”.
