Referee has given Villa absolutely everything in this game. Brentford should have had two pens and were the better team until the sending off.

Well yeah got to keep the title race interesting you know.

Fuck me Villa have been lucky this season. Especially with injuries.

Not as much luck as in season 1980-81 when I believe 8 players were able to play every game that season. The remaining 3 first team players missed only a handful of games each. Knocked out in tue 3rd round of both cups, they avoided injuries and played far fewer games than their nearest rival, Ipswich.

Ipswich beat Aston Villa home and away and also in the FA Cup. They had a 4-pronged pursuit of trophies but ultimately, due to an unforgiving fixture schedule (66 games) and a crippling injury list, they won only the UEFA Cup. At seasons end, they were given the award of 'European Team of the Year' for their brilliant football and yet, ultimately, they finished behind a far inferior Villa.

Liverpool's 11 really isn't that great, they'll win this obviously but they're not that good a team, fact they keep having to come from behind says a lot, yeah it's great that they do it, but you can't keep doing it, the odd games maybe but not consistently
