The old villa are back

The goal was stupidity - but it was stupidity that Arsenal got away with Scott free last season.

Yeah, they don't mention that Ref.

All just adds to the point of our contention that the reffing standards are bad and inconsistent

Still had an amazing start to the CL campaign (though probably a bit underserved against Bayern). Bizarrely unlucky today.

Se you Saturday night👍👍

And biased towards Arsenal.

Weird penalty. I mean common sense should prevail in that situation.

Villa look tired to me - huge learning curve playing 2 competitive games a week every week. The Conference league last season doesn’t count as those games were not competitive up until the QF stage - at which point Villa did start showing signs of strain again resulting in a capitulation to Olympiacos in the semi.

This time round, you’ve come out of the traps at 100 miles per hour and it’s catching up with you.

Ange has made the decision for us tonight to leave half our squad at home for our trip to Istanbul. We might start 4 or 5 teenagers tonight and there is a good chance we will be beaten soundly - but like yourselves we’ve won the opening 3 and we fancy ourselves in most the other ties.
