Lovely to be reminded of 94 and 96! Wonderful memories!
I have the Man Utd game on VHS and I was at Wembley to see us smash Leeds UTV 😊👍
He was really good,have him on again
Well unai can piss off coming out saying we're "not contenders" for the fa cup.
After the season we've had were we've kept less clean sheets than Over half the league and the fact we play like a Gerrard team constantly making shit mistakes and looking half assed with a shit board of heck and co. Think the least we deserve is a day out at Wembley, im sick to death of emery not caring about the cups I can maybe get it last season but this season, the league is over and we won't win the champions league so go get what's left.
If he screws it up on Friday I will never forgive him for it
4-1 Villa win. Forwards will get chances, they simply have to take them and we're through to a quarter final. We'll obviously concede, but would rather that be a consolation than another bloody first goal and we're coming from behind!
I’ve got a question for any Villa fan.
Bar 3 or 4 matches, have you been impressed by Villa this season ?
I haven’t, if anything I’ve watched us many times and come away thinking wow that was awful, even in some of the games we’ve won, Everton, Southampton etc
What a great match preview Luke I ordered Ivan's book a while ago looking forward to it I also hope we go strong against Cardiff. UTV
I ship that team lineup.
Whilst Dougie was a loss, for me, when Kamara isn't playing its akin to City without Rodri. He is essential. Simple as that, he is an absolutely phenomenal player. Of course this isn't the only issue, but for sure it stands out like a sore thumb.
just cant see a team without Rogers. Emery wont drop him
I would play mings at left back at time and have all the attacking on the right . Sure it up
Looking at the results, we could have been 6th if we had turned up at Palace , we are missing Kamara , but we need a performance on Friday now
Love the league cup, was at both finals in the 90's, always annoys me when we dont take it seriously.
I can see a world where Martinez is held back for Brugge but this FA cup game is huge and we need to see a response, Malen has to start. UTV
Still fuming over palace game tbh 😞. I expect rashford malen ascensio watkins to all start …give tielemans and rogers a rest…we shopped lots of goals last year too so not down to dougie and kamara missing
Glad folks have enjoyed the Cardiff preview! Thanks for having me Luke. UTV
Jacob Ramsey in the centre off midfield he seems like he has no options when his in the wing position
Even if we build a brick wall in front of the goal 🥅 we will still concede
What botheted me Luke was Unais body language before the Palace game, the interview prior,his eyes said everything ,dark,no enthusiasm,maybe this echoed down through the team.
So nice to hear about the FA cup amidst the premier league slog.
💪🔥🔥🔥💜💜💜💙💙💙🔥🔥🔥💪
Really good episode Luke…. I’m still reeling from the palace game … but I’m beginning to think Unai is trying to save his best cards for certain games . I think he gambled on that game against palace and thought that team would have been good enough NOT to have got beat … but I think it went worse than he even expected . He looked very down and frustrated in the interview afterwards . Think his pride was hit big time ( you could see it ) . As frustrated as we all are … let’s do what we do best and get behind them all 👍. We know the goals are there to win these matches … just gotta tighten up and we’ll be ok 🙏. Up the villa all !
Big up Ivan! love a good book.
Its crazy, 94, I have pictures of a Villa fan backpackers five a side team playing in the street is St Kilda, Melbourne. I was the goalkeeper and we won the tournament, prize was pizza if I recall 😂 Villa were a good team back then and two years later I was working at Sydney international airport for an Australian Leeds fan, I took beating them for granted back then. Hopefully we get back to those days, I feel we're really close so let's hang in there and enjoy it.
If malens doesnt start I am seriously going to start wondering if something is going on behind the scenes. He's only started one game since we bought him and he has played brilliantly every time he has been on. He doesn't have CL so he needs to do the full 90 for both Cardiff and Brentford and honestly Brighton swell. In fact he should be starting half the time anyway because he's already proven he is better than Bailey this season. The only time he doesn't start is when he should be rotated with Acesnio
Refreshing change of pace. Loved Ivan’s perspectives. FA CUP IS ON ITS WAY
City aside the results went our way again. Reminds me of CL top 8 race 😂 We can turn it around in the league, WON'T be easy, but it's clear everyone above us is very inconsistent and that this is a very very competitive league. Brentford is must must MUST win though.
As for FA Cup… STRONG TEAM PLEASE EMERY… yeah yeah I know it's Cardiff, I don't care, Liverpool played a rotated team against PLYMOUTH and lost. We MUST play a strong team and prioritize this cup, it's a way into Europa league, which I would love, and it's a trophy.
UTFV, let's make this Cardiff game a turning point.
Honestly if malen isn't starting I think all the fans we be pissed at emery
Cardiff will probably win. The final nail in the coffin will be Anwar shanking a shot from the edge of the box putting his head in his hands only to find out Robin Olsen has let it squirm through his legs.
