Congrats! 

[SimonBolivar 10957]

Hey Jack isn't going to Spurs again and please don't sign anyone that was a middling Ligue 1 player or a tall goof from Blackburn.

Are you really, really sure you don’t want to sell Grealish?

[Bone3421 716]

Congrats ramjet

Apparently Randy Lerner gets £30m as part of Villa being promoted.

[SimonBolivar 10957]

Lol

 

Surely McGinn will have a spot.

Going to the friendly in St Paul.  Should be fun.

Take pictures!

I went with my son against FC Dallas when they were here before. When we were at Villa Park in 2016, we meet a few of the 82 Euro Cup team who had traveled to the States with the club. They loved Texas, and we were treated like visiting royalty.

Villa playing Minnesota United in a preseason warm-up match. Up 1-nil on Jack's goal in the first half.

This season's home kit looks sweet. Glad to see the Premier League number font on the back again.

[SimonBolivar 10957]

I thought it was a decent showing vs Minnesota. It wasn't ever A attack and A defense playing together and it wasn't a good opponent so what can you really take from it?

 

Good:

Jota

Jack

Steer

General Attacking

 

Bad:

Back line in the 1st half

O'Hare

Konsa

[SimonBolivar 10957]

I know Charleton is likely to get relegated from The Championship but that was a dominating 4-1 win. I'm still not a Konsa fan.

[SimonBolivar 10957]

So The Championship started today...and I DONT GIVE A SHIT!!!

 

Oh and Stoke lost.

Predicted 14th by the BBC...where do I sign? Really though I'll take 17th and be happy.

Only took 63 seconds to get the first foul committed on Jack for the new season...

[SimonBolivar 10957]

SUPER JOHN

[RamjetFDO 10575]

YES!!!!!!  1-nil to the Villa!!!!!!!

[RamjetFDO 10575]

 

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Spurs pressing hard ... I don't think a 1-nil score will be the end of things.  Villa need to score again, pleaseandthankyou.

[SimonBolivar 10957]

Yeah not ending 1-0 but I'm entertained.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Poor Jack is going to need BP meds before this season is over ... going to stroke out during a match at this pace of frustration at being fouled and no calls given.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Woof.  That level of defending could never hold up against a top-flight Premier League team for long.  

Encouraging for the rest of the season, but also some things to correct/build upon (looking at you, Jack).

[SimonBolivar 10957]

Ready for Bournemouth. Let's get 3 points.

[Hagbard Celine 10848]

not a good start at villa park

[SimonBolivar 10957]

[Hagbard Celine 10848]

was teddy a villa fan?  or what's the connection?

[RamjetFDO 10575]

What that was a shitty first half... I had an appointment and caught up on the recording. Glad I didn't have to sit through it in real time.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

What a strike!

[Hagbard Celine 10848]

sorry can't watch your game pool are trying to drop points down south

[Hagbard Celine 10848]

if you want to stay up, 3 at home against everyone not big 6 is the recipe.  that's 33 points.

No, I'm a Villa fan and that's what my diary will read tomorrow. Have to at least get a point there. I know they fought back hard, but that doesn't cut it in the EPL. 

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Villa with a 1-nil halftime lead against Everton on a nice little Friday afternoon match.  However, giving up too much possession ... 1 goal won't win it for Villa.

Hold!!!

[RamjetFDO 10575]

THEY ARE BACK... THEY ARE PROPERLY BACK!

[SimonBolivar 10957]

Or scoring again works too! Now let's not get anywhere near the relegation zone the rest of the season. 

[ChickenSandwich 9824]

Is the home field narrow or is that a camera angle?

so the fans always celebrate like it’s the Super Bowl?

Camera angle. Villa Park is an amazing venue with a wide pitch and consistently one of the best surfaces in English football.

... And while the Holte End is usually that boisterous, the entire home crowd was just celebrating being back and getting that first home PL victory behind them.

Let them have it. They deserved that moment of joy.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Well poop.

5 points in 7 matches isn't going to cut it boys.  Get it together!

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Welp... We look good against fellow bottom dwellers. Sigh.

[SimonBolivar 10957]

Huge win! Currently sitting 11th but still only 3 points out of relegation right now.

16th to 11th in one strike.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Can Pepe get his physical completed at halftime?

Jeebus.

Never give up the near post. That's a goalkeeper rule.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Clown show on the back line.

It's almost USMNT-level bad.

[SimonBolivar 10957]

That was fun.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Pepe!!!!

 

 

[SimonBolivar 10957]

Missed it today, but looks like it was a great one.

[RamjetFDO 10575]

Missed it today, but looks like it was a great one.

It was frustrating for awhile, as Villa dominated possession, but were behind at the half.

The equalizer was deserved, but the (literally) last second winner was thrilling and all about desire.

Pepe had a good game in goal, and we'll be in good hands for awhile.

[yoladu 4090]

Congrats, RamjetFDO!!

bet that must be an awesome feeling!
