Good game last night fellas there wasn't much between the teams it's just a shame it was decided by a penalty especially not a clear 1, just reading down through your posts and have to say it's hard to swallow as a villa supporter after the peno ye got last year when Bruno stood on konsa, pogba also had his arm in luiz face before any contact and pogba was moaning at shaw just a few mins before for not going down in the box, he was looking for the peno in all fairness, it wasn't a definite peno but it wasn't definitely not 1 either, 50/ 50 I guess but var probably right to go with whatever decision the ref had made, and jack is the most fouled player in the league, like Ronaldo was when he was at united but I guess it's only called diving when it's another team, every ref can't be wrong, if he was constantly diving he would be getting punished, refs would be looking out for it, I see reference to the ghost goal v Sheffield yes it was a mistake but VAR made mistakes every week last year and some of them costing us points so to say we only stayed up cause of technology failure is a bit unfair we were so far behind at the break but we done what we needed to do to stay up we scored more points than anyone in the bottom 6 after the restart and continued it this season so to say we don't deserve to be here is unfair after taking points off most of the top teams this year, both teams had good chances to score more goals last night but sadly we couldn't take another chance de gea had a good game as did Martinez I think I speak for all villa fans when I say we would rather of lost to that Bruno thunderbolt that Martinez tipped over than to a penalty, look forward to the reverse fixture 👠I said it here before I do think ye will win the league as Liverpool look more like the team that bottled it against the smaller teams for the last 20 odd years, I hope ye enjoyed the trashing we gave them earlier in the year it was the highlight of my time as a football fan, I hate them with a passion 😂😂.

The full stop (Commonwealth English), period (North American English) or full point . is a punctuation mark. It is used for several purposes, most often to mark the end of a declarative sentence (as opposed to a question or exclamation) ; this sentence-terminal use, alone, defines the strictest sense of full stop.

Lol I thought it was a football banter page not a grammar page. Will use more full stops in future. I tend to just use the comma, I’m sure there was no confusion in my sentence. Surprised your not giving Ollie stick for his broken (ish) English. Also I’m neither English or North America.

I'm only messing mate. It was a good post and interesting to read the point of view from a Villa fan. I think you are the first to post on this page. I also look forward to the return fixture. You lot are having a fantastic season so far and it's great to see the league being shaken up a bit.

WhackyVillian,
What do you make of Grealish theatrics? I find him rather petulant.
03 Jan 2021 01:48:37
Cheers manc, I think we will do u guys some favours this year we done a few already lol. Sup mad hatter, first and foremost he’s obviously a hero to villa, his behaviour off the pitch sure needs some maturing, not sure what u mean by his theatrics? is it on or off the pitch u mean? As a player. sure he wins a lot of fouls and 9 times out of 10 there’s contact, I’m a realist I know he has the strength to stay up or the contact is minimal maybe 30-40% of the time but it’s not often he go’s down without some class of contact, he wins lots of frees but very rare he gets a penalty cause defenders won’t tackle him in the area but outfield they will take his invitation and his craft is that good he will make u foul him, I know it’s probably infuriating for other teams but he dragged us through the league last season and gave us the chance to build on it, so he’s already a villa legend in our book, we don’t get the big decisions we definitely don’t get any help from var so we got to do what needs must to rebuild our club, yeh I’d like him to be a bit more mature off field and stay on his feet a bit more while on it but I think that will change as we get to a point where we have better players around him, our owners are stinking rich, 1 of the richest in the league (3rd I think) so hopefully we are heading in the right direction. most of my mates are Man U supporters so I get lots of stick from them and have done for the past 10-12 years hopefully in the reverse fixture I can give them some in return. how about you guys? Lots of rumours of signing grealish last summer, is he a player you would like to see in red?

Good post Whacky. Althought he is clearly talented i wouldn't touch Grealish for a lot of reasons. He drink a lot, dives a lot, holds the ball too much and doesn't fit in our team (i think) .
I would like him if he would cost 30-40 millions to become a rotation player who gives us something different because he is really good around the box and can unlock defences, but having Bruno we can't take another player who thrives in a free role, we can't play with two tens. Then putting him as left winger is good against teams sit deep but his lack of explosiveness doesn't make him ideal.
For me (taking into account that Pogba will be sold) we must buy a box to box like Bissouma and a top number 6 and then in top of that and if our coach can fit him the luxury player who is Grealish .
