A superb first half should have had more than one. Second half solid, I thought Ollie got his mojo back, Digne had a superb game, great to have SJM and Tielemans back. I have to question Emery regarding Bailey, he obviously sees things that most of us can't. Hopefully this will kickstart our resurgence.
1.) 22 Mar 2026 17:33:51
Scotty, are you alright? I'm really worried, only kicking Bailey? Bloody hell. Get yourself down the Dr's for a check up.

I am in a bar in Tenerife that has had the Villa game and Forrest on two TVs next to each other, one game exciting teams trying to score and one team playing slow deliberate football. Guess which one.
We are such a boring lacklustre watch. We are playing a weak second rate team and nothing is changing slow tempo without a clue how to attack. Glad I have restaurant booked for 9 o'clock.

Have a good holiday, Scotty, don't let Villa ruin it, mate. lol.
2.) 20 Mar 2026 14:39:36
Jonny, give your head a wobble, and take a day off. We won, we are in the Quarter finals. UTV.

Apparently Mings was one of our best players and his aerial height was vital. Obviously injuries aren't helping but our form is not good, both Man U and Chelsea are looking as they will catch us sooner than later. We need to deal with what we have and get on with it.
Wednesday is vital we stop the rot or Europe could become a problem. I see Bailey was woeful and gave the ball away far to often, obviously got to give him time but he was singled out in the press as our worst player, appreciate he came off the bench but hope we didn't get Bailey MK2.

Tomorrow is the time to reverse the disappointing performances of late, Ollie is apparently fit and starts, Onana is reportedly ok as well, so we need to show the teams around us that we are not easy to play against and that's definitely not the case.
I have a ticket for tomorrow's game and off up the A34 in the morning, I'm hoping for something positive and a strong performance, another defeat would show our competing teams that we are not up for the fight.
1.) 07 Feb 2026 13:29:41
Good post scotty I have to agree, time to roll up our sleeves. on the plus side Bournemouth at home will come at us so hopefully leave some space to get in behind them
23 Jan 2026 19:26:43
I understand we have a ten million surplus from the Malen/ Tammy deal, taking in to account the younger kid.Wonder if we are lining up a big money signing and every penny counts, we will certainly know pretty soon???
1.) 24 Jan 2026 15:32:56
There's not a 10m surplus at all. 21m euros and Ozcan. Cash wise its about 3m if we're lucky.
2.) 24 Jan 2026 17:06:01
There are some loopholes around signing youth players so it’s possible that although we didn’t make cash profit on him it could contribute more than the 3 million towards psr.
3.) 24 Jan 2026 17:15:04
Dave I think that Sky getting it wrong again, they reported we go something stupid like 30 m Euros for the kid . UTV

How many more times is Martinez going to pull out during warm up, there is something not right with him, he is letting the fans and his team mates down far too often, between Rogers and Emi we have two unreliable characters.
1.) 12 Apr 2026 20:17:26
Better he pull up before the match than try to play with a knock and, as a consequence, concede a goal. If I was a gambling man, I suspect he came back from his previous knocks too quickly, and the late withdrawals are a result of that. Re Rogers, he can't be at the top of his game week in, week out. He has 13 goal contributions this season; I think only Fernandes and Bowen have more from a midfield position. We are a better side when we have our best midfield available, and Rogers is definitely part of that.
Ideally, we would have beaten Forest, but if you can't win, the key thing, given our position, is not to lose. And, given the Chelsea result, we extend our lead over them to 7 points. That should, and I stress should, be enough to secure 5th, but 9 points out of our last 6 games would seal it, unless Chelsea win every match to the end of the season, and they won't do that.
12 Apr 2026 14:38:33
How many times has Rogers lost the ball?
1.) 12 Apr 2026 15:09:30
Made exactly the same point. Led to their goal.
2.) 12 Apr 2026 16:01:44
Frustrating player. Scott believes his own hype.
3.) 12 Apr 2026 16:43:07
Yep I think his head has been turned, he will be gone in the summer, no1 is bigger than this great club. Rodgers needs to think where he was b4 we signed him, he was going nowhere. As good as he is, he can be replaced, get over 100 mil, sell, we dont want players with bad attitudes.
4.) 12 Apr 2026 21:16:25
And, how have you arrived at the conclusion he has a bad attitude? I have seen nothing to suggest that he has, in fact, quite the contrary.
5.) 13 Apr 2026 00:00:08
I don't often agree with Jonny, but Roger's attitude is not one I'm fond of. He's petulant, he's moody, and he's mouthing off at the ref constantly when he's not getting his own way. For all his hype, he has plenty of negatives. Not one foul did he draw today, as I had him in my bet builder to be fouled one or more times. They didn't need to foul him, he was consistently giving the ball away.
Credit to him for his one bit of good play which got us a goal, but if he thinks he's worth 100 million he should be doing more against a relegation team. He does seem to be heavily bandaged on one of his hands, maybe that's affecting him a bit, but he's a long way off the player we have seen him be.
6.) 13 Apr 2026 09:44:11
So was it one of his best games? No, it wasn't. And did he give the ball away a few times? Yes, he did, but on the positive side, he gets into positions to effect the game. As you say, it was his ball across that was diverted into the Forest net. Shortly after, he played a through ball which put Watkins clean through and should have finished. He also hit the woodwork and skied an opportunity from about 10 yards.
Admittedly, he should have scored both, but he is getting into the positions to effect the game. We have plenty of players who move the ball from side to side, we don't have too many who can run at pace at defenders, create space for others around him and, in addition, score/assist 13 goal contributions from midfield. Not too shabby in my view. You can't be excellent every week.
09 Apr 2026 22:24:40
How good is Tielemans, composed everything a top quality player has, just calms the chaos down.
1.) 10 Apr 2026 09:21:52
He's a Rolls Royce in that role. Pure class.
Even when he gets a hospital pass he's calm and assured.
09 Apr 2026 22:21:37
Tuchel must have had two telephone calls to Watkins and Rogers. To Watkins, buck your ideas up, prove to me you still have it and you are in the plane and he will be. To Rogers. Doesn't matter how s**T you play and how often you lose the ball without showing any interest, you are in the starting eleven for the first game in the World Cup.
How else can you explain his performances.
1.) 09 Apr 2026 22:52:54
Dave can't work out what's up with Rogers at all, certainly not enjoying his football, got a face like a smacked arse. Makes you wonder if he's been got at, and he's playing crap to bring his price down.
2.) 10 Apr 2026 09:19:53
Rogers just looks like he's coasting at times and not in a good way.
If someone offers us (Villa) £100m in the summer, I think he'll be gone, and, based on his overall performance this season, it would be good business.
Don't get me wrong, I do not want to sell him but at that money it has to be a consideration.
09 Apr 2026 20:31:11
Let's hope that bucks our ideas up. We can't pass and what is Rogers doing? Come on Villa, buck your ideas up or you could be out tonight. Why are we so slow and our passing non-existent.
15 Jan 2026 18:00:34
Dave it won't be the first mistake we have made recently
12 Aug 2024 16:33:45
With your there as well LOTM,
04 Jan 2023 16:08:37
Pity England wasn't a full time gig, Maguire would be in permanently. Man U defence with Maguire at the heart have been poor for a while, why would want a slow centre back.
27 May 2022 11:10:46
Its pretty much ball park what i thought, i think Elghazi will struggle to get anywhere near 10 i also think with ings wages, teams likely to want him will want to pay around 10 so he can maintain his wages.Ings still has time to run on his contract so he may want to sit tight, we would have to drop our valuation to get his wages off the books.
26 May 2022 19:49:24
Whack,Loti we are up to 15,how much do you think this lot would fetch?
11 Apr 2026 23:57:05
Whack, I would take two quality, 50mill signings over Rogers all day long.
20 Mar 2026 20:13:44
Dave, pure greed.
19 Mar 2026 22:25:35
Bucky, he was never the answer.
19 Mar 2026 22:24:15
Jonny, unfortunately, Emery doesn't see it.
18 Mar 2026 17:53:17
Our recruitment has been scandalous, VJ and Dan, and to add insult to injury we go back to three who failed: Dougie, Bailey, and Tammy. Add Guessand, Onana, and Malen, all Emery signings. Success is measured in many ways: recruitment, trophies, and league position. Is one of three enough? Obviously not for a few of us.
