Villa (H) Post Match Thread

What annoys me is these ex footballers turned pundits say things like referees don't understand the game, but the fact is they don't keep up with the rule changes in the game.

From what I can gather it wasn’t even a rule change. It’s been like this for years.

Ha ha, did Rio hold it together for long enough to avoid tears on camera?

Put it this way. His face was contorted....

It's not his fault Mings turned towards his own goal

It’s not Rodri’s fault at all.

But Mings should be fully entitled to turn towards his own goal without interference from an offside player.

The moment Rodri prevents Mings from doing so he is interfering with play.

His bottom lip was wobbling.

Bloody outstanding win. Play like that for the rest of the season and we will coast home as champions.

We do need a goalscorer though. Literally anybody that could put these chances away. Costa for 6 months. Giroud for a year or Ings longer term. I'd have a good look at all 3

Not our clinical best.........but great effort and 3 wonderful points and top of the fucking league!!!

The first goal was very generous given Rodri was offside,but fuck it.....we deserved some luck.

Now come on Fulham,Tosin defend like you life depends on it!

MOTM - Bernardo,but that's debateable give 3 or 4 other brilliant performances.

Rodri wasn't offside once Mings played the ball.
They tried to run the clock down the whole game so fck em

He didn’t try and turn.

Away from the ball.

It really is quite simple, you make a move towards the ball it’s interfering with play.

What if he intercepts a back pass.

You like Bernard, dont you.

So do we FOCs in CBL3. He's coming round to Ewing Towers tomorrow for afternoon tea just as soon as training is finished. I shall pick up a bag of pastel de nata from Lidl.

Thought Bernardo and Sterling were crap again tonight. Bernardo took his goal beautifully and only he scores that goal in our team, but overall he was off the pace again.

Sorry i'm not having that one. I agree about Sterling but i thought Bernardo worked his socks off
