The Aston Villa it’s good to be back thread

[westisbest]

First topic message reminder :

Great win on Monday.

Gonna be an interesting summer ahead for the villa. Hopefully get whatever loan players we can signed up.
Mings and Axel would be a great start.
We need a decent left back. Another attacking midfielder, defensive midfielder.

Another striker. Owners have said they will spend a good bit of money. Hopefully it’s used wisely.

Have enjoyed the championship to be honest, but a great feeling to be back.
If we didn’t win Monday, would of been a long time in the championship.
Wasn’t looking possible back in March. Incredible run did the job in the end. Was a great time. Certainly won’t go on any kind of run next season.
Fair play to Smith, Terry and the rest of the coaches and back room staff.

Here’s hoping to another 20+ and more years in the top flight.
Will enjoy the summer and look forward to the fixtures.

Only Diego Maradona and Alan Hutton are capable of that level of sustained genius.

[Galted]

Well that was f*cking embarrassing.

[Galted]

Might not have been playing the strongest opposition but the reaction to the Newcastle defeat has been very promising, 12 goals to 1.

[Galted]

Not bothering with any squeaky bum stuff this season, 6 games in and the closest result was the 3-1 against Burnley.

[Galted]

Wow, closest result still 3-1. Wonderful being in a position where you don't give up hope when you go behind.

[westisbest]

Great to see Duran scoring again and what a goal it was.

Back in Europe tomorrow. Hopefully off to a winning start.

Ah well, it's better to be thinking 'ffs, we could've been 3rd' than 'ffs, we could've been 17th'.

[Mind the windows Tino.]

Bit unlucky with the second goal. Only the best keeper in the universe would have even got a hand to that one.

That's just the sort of impressive analysis I've missed since Jeff f*cked off and you didn't feel the need to impress him anymore.

L*l out loud. He tw**ts that from time to time.

Some game against the champions on Wednesday. Wow.

All over them, what a performance.

Heading to the game tomorrow. Really hoping we can continue our great home form.

Can we win the league?  Not for me.
Top 4? Maybe.
Top 6. Yes.

We do need to improve away from Villa Park.

Exciting times though.

[Galted]

I was less shocked by the result than the manner in which Villa won, barely gave City a sniff.

Away form isn't that bad when you look at the results, think Villa are about 8th in the away table which is handy when combined with the current home form. Do seem to rely on luck a bit though, games against Chelsea and Spurs could easily have gone the other way.

[Mind the windows Tino.]

Villa are f*cking massive.

[Galted]

Villa are f*cking massive.

We don't like to see words like that on our thread, we prefer to say that Villa are a f*cking juggernaut.

[Galted]

Still struggling to believe that Villa have shocked the world by winning an FA Cup match.  Since the previous win in a cup tie, France have made the football world cup final twice, South Africa have won the rugby world cup twice, and the UK have endured five prime ministers.

[westisbest]

Finally in the 4th round after a number of years.

Chelsea away. Winnable. Hopefully we have a decent run.

[Galted]

When Villa do decide to lose there's no f*cking around.

[Galted]

Didn't foresee Villa being the only English team left in Europe at this stage of the season.

[westisbest]

Having a hell of a season. Emry is some manager.

Massive game Thursday. Hopefully a great performance and a lead into the second leg.

Got to say. Think Rogers has been a great signing. Big future ahead.

[Galted]

Can't recall being less fussed being pumped 5-0.

[westisbest]

Dominant performance tonight. Should have won by more.

Great start to the season. Really looking forward to it. Champions
League. Great times.

Good call to play Duran instead of sending him to the reserves. Hopefully upped his price a bit.

[westisbest]

Could be a big player this season

Hope so. The bench looked pretty potent, will look even better if Mings and Kamara recover.

He must be in his 70's surely? Didn't even realise he'd signed for you.

You're thinking of Peter Bonetti, but he's been dead a while and he never played for Villa anyway.

Villa are a juggernaut, so much so that even I'm terrified of them.  One or two more good signings and I may stop following football to avoid the carnage, will have a look at Wikipedia every 5 or so years to see how many trophies they've won.  I expect it's going to be a lot.

Peter Bonetti would definitely have saved the second Arsenal goal yesterday. Even in his current state.

The Premier League need to investigate the football used yesterday. There is no way the best goalie in the history of football would have let that in unless there was something wrong with the ball.

[westisbest]

Wasn’t great from Martinez. Makes few mistakes.
We played pretty well yesterday, especially Rogers. Thought he was class.

Would probably rest Watkins against Leicester. Still looks tired form the euros. Duran is certainly up for it.

Absolute disgrace the way the goals moved out the way when Watkins took a shot in the first half.  Rigged, fixed, football's gone etc.

Can't complain too much, last season at Villa Park Arsenal had the best of the game and Villa took the only chance, and easy to forget that Arsenal dominated the first half at the Emirates but it was Villa who made better use of the chances, just the way it goes sometimes.  Was a disappointing result but happy with the way Villa played, on that comparative form between the two teams I'd fancy Villa to win more than Arsenal if they played a series of games.  
Rogers is looking like a beast.

[Galted]

Relieved to see Villa drawn against Bayern Munich, keeping the 100% record against them in the European Cup should be a formality.

[Galted]

Have to say I'm very excited about meeting Young Boys in Europe.

[Duty281]

At the Wankdorf, as well. The stuff of dreams.

L*l out loud, Wankdorf can be tough when Young Boys are involved.

You're excited? How do you think Unai must be feeling.

That's Mr Emery to you.  And where's the question mark at the end of the post?

This forum's gone.
