How could he avoid that handball?

What's gone wrong at Villa?

They look absolutely shite

They've had to sell players due to PSR and can't recruit well for the same reason.

Watkins has been woeful today.

Anyone explain to me in foc terms why the rags can spend what they want?

Great post, absolutely spot on. We have also never had so many live games on TV and the majority are as boring as fuck due to the points you have made.

Next year the September and October international break will be merged into one from 21 September to 6th October with international teams playing 4 games. Then there's a break in November and March 27. So only 3 breaks in the season rather than 4

Watkins confidence in the mud, looks terrible

Johnny Stones will be happy then

Villa are missing Marco Asensio...big player for them last season. Also should they have made Dhuran their #1 striker and kept him given how old Watkins is ?

It appears they hide their losses in an offshore parent company. Apparently it’s within the PSR rules. It means they can smash the usual rules by £240m over three years then splurge another £200m.

Thank fuck that Bournemouth/ Newcastle game is over. That was a real slog, watching that. Not quite memories of THAT Pearce season, but not far off it. Nice trip home for those Geordies....

 

[paulchapo]

An absolute dog turd of a match. Being at a smaller club like Bournemouth for so long has sure taught Howe how to kill a game.

Dog shit

I remember in the nineties, people said that dog shit could make you blind if you got it in your eyes. But you don't hear about it at all nowadays. Has dog shit changed, or have people just stopped putting it in their eyes?

Fulham in front, Villa in trouble
