They've been wanting that since the middle of February.

Could have asked for the f***ing Rodri handball to have been given.

Yeah we've dropped stupid points but that was incompetence of the highest order out of our control that sticks in the throat

Don't give a f*** who wants us to win outside of our own. It's irrelevant. 

 

 

Fair enough.

 

We enjoy these things in our own way

He should’ve been sent off ten times over v Arsenal too and scores the winner. Then gets booked for taking his shirt off then creases someone and doesn’t get sent off. There’s always one of theirs who rises to be a pain in the ass and this season it’s been him.

February what year?

One more time Stevie. One more time.

[Conrad]

I wish Villa had better players 

[Nate.]

I'm waiting for the hard earned nil nil while we coast to victory and Gerrard runs on the pitch to rip off his shirt to reveal he's wearing the new kit with 20 on the back.

[Dominus Maximus]

I hope we have armed Stevie with all the data we have on City. No stones unturned. What’s the use of world class analytics if we don’t use it now.

Reckon Stevie's going to be hating all this. Whatever he does for the next two games there's gonna be some groups of fans, possibly including some of his own giving him s*** for something.

Nah, he's loving it, it's the reason why he left the chance of more trophies with Rangers, he knew that he'll play a part in helping us win the league in the final game of the season

[Nate.]

If he hoofs it he might make the lap of honour after the game.

I reckon he loves it and is desperate to do something.

Realistically he's gonna be at Villa for a couple of years at least, if their fans reckon he's making decisions on what's best for Liverpool (which I don't believe for a second he'll do, that's just where the narrative will go) then it's gonna make life difficult there for him.

Just has to try to get a result so not sure how there could be any criticism of him.

I don't think he will rest anyone against Burnley or anything, although Buendia and Coutinho seem to be battling for a place so they may get one of the games each.

[Hassony]

All these Liverpool links and it'll be Digne who'll score the all important goal, all part of Rafa's master plan

Wasnt he in regular contact with Klopp while he was at Rangers? I reckon he still is...

The trophy is likely to be in Manchester in preparation for the most likely outcome on Sunday. If Stevie's Villa get a result at City and we beat Wolves, Stevie can pick up the trophy for us and bring it with him for the presentation. They may even allow him to hand it to Jordan as it would make great television.

That ship kind of sailed a long time ago though really.

No serious person could regard the season as a failure now, no matter what happens in the next 10 days.

I couldn't care less what others want to happen anyway.

On a purely footballing level, I've never been prouder of the side than I have over the last 12 months.

If we win it then happiness will be off the scale. If we don't, then we don't. 

I want to win the league more but given how it has all played out not winning the European Cup would feel like more of a missed opportunity.

I'll be going on Sunday far more relaxed and at peace with stuff than I was in 2019. I just intend enjoying our game pretty much regardless.  Only way I really come away feeling sick is if they drop points and we do too, or they snatch it last minute or something but even then I'd get over it....probably.

I said a while back that the universe has a massive kick in the balls waiting for them. Maybe it was Real Madrid. Maybe it wasn't and there is more to come.

I'm happy to hand it over, not in expectation, not even really in hope, just in acceptance of whatever.

There’s no conflict of interest is there? Get points for Villa, and that happens to help us

They have a replica don't they? so can have another at another venue just in case
