Hoping for a Leicester win.

I see they have Sven Goran Eriksson on. Or is it Peter Bone...

Sir Peter Bone to you.

I’m with you on the Leicester win though, would love to see Villa relegated. Always better for Burnley when a big club with loads of money goes.

To me it's Boney P, we're close.

I want Villa to win - I'd love to see last day WHU v Villa meaning something to both* !!

*I'd take us relegating Brighton over anything though !!

Tough one for me. Know quite a few from Leicester. All plastic, Forest supporters (go figure) and suddenly Leicester fans. Villa, don't get me started. Seems a lot of people from Leicester adopt Villa too. Very odd. Leicester win for me because, well because Villa are the only one who can be relegated. Strange lot Leicester people. They jump on the bandwagon of teams in the midlands doing well it seems.

Dodgy keeper cocks up for Leicester goal. What was he doing out there?

Why have I only just found out that Harvey Barnes is Paul Barnes son and was born in Burnley?

Obviously - that surprised me.

Post update
Leicester 1-0 Aston Villa

Aston Villa players have recorded 10 errors leading to goals in the Premier League this season.

That's more than any other side in the competition...

To think there were people calling out Ben Mee for an error on Saturday....

Can’t work out what on earth Reina was thinking

LeadBelly · Post by **LeadBelly** » Mon Mar 09, 2020 9:03 pm

I missed the first 5-10 minutes but Leicester have been all over Villa whilst Ive been watching, Villa lucky to be only 1 down.

Difficult to see how Villa can change it much - maybe bringing on the dynamic Drinky can turn things round.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Mon Mar 09, 2020 9:20 pm

2-0. Get in.

I want Villa to drop like a hotpot.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Mar 09, 2020 9:21 pm

Peno for Leicester

Scored.
2-0

Leicester have battered Villa, missed 2 or 3 really good chances in the first half

Hopefully they'll be battering Rovers next season....

Certainly are a strange lot. Couldn’t move for Crisp Eaters a couple of years back. All back to Barca, Real, United now

3-0. Vardy.

4-0. Barnes.

Villa look doomed, played well against City last week but look every bit a relegated team tonight

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Mon Mar 09, 2020 9:44 pm

Villa's centre back Mings looks like a good player, should he be in the England squad?

Playing like this, they'll struggle to get 30 points.

How did that lad Drinkwater get on tonight?

LeadBelly · Post by **LeadBelly** » Mon Mar 09, 2020 10:15 pm

Dean Smith has a fair job on his hands lifting them after that. They've a game in hand but the approaching run of games is:
Home to Chelsea
Home to Wolves
Away Liverpool
Home Man United.
3 at home is the good bit but Wolves at 6th are the lowest placed of that lot and Man U & Chelsea are beginning to hit some serious form.
Real test of nerve.

Probably would have shown all the others up with his silky skills and work ethic , so he stayed on the bench.

Reina. How many times has he done that in his career?

Back to reality for Villa. 4-0 hurts and it's not done their GD much good.

Best bit of transfer business we did was getting rid in January.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Mon Mar 09, 2020 10:46 pm

Villa are poor at the back,and leaking goals left,right and centre,this is a Leicester team that have been struggling for a while,and yet Villa managed just 1 shot on target.

4 straight league defeats for Villa now,and Bournemouth and West Ham both have winnable home games at the weekend,if they're not careful they could join Norwich in getting caught adrift.

Drinkwater a no show again tonight i see,it can't be a coincidence that our form has considerably improved since he left the building.

"Can’t work out what on earth Reina was thinking"

Don't go there, Tony. it will only give you a headache.

Reina doesn't know either.

Oh yeah he moves to Villa and the wheels fall off

These big spenders seem to pay the price, as they dilute their squad.

dsr · Post by **dsr** » Tue Mar 10, 2020 1:26 am

Had a quick look at Villa's website, and they seem to think there won't be a problem if they go down. They can sell the best players (Grealish, McGinn, Mings) for a combined £130m to £180m, pay off debts, spend £100m more on new players, and challenge for the top two. I think they may have an unpleasant surprise or several!

However they could sack smilth (4 year contract) and give it JT

Glad Villa lost. I still keep an eye on the bottom three. Everyone from 7 must.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Tue Mar 10, 2020 2:06 am

I know 8 Villa fans and they all predicted a top 10 finish which "would do for the first season back" and relegation for us

I'm quite enjoying speaking to them at the moment !!!

Claret32yrs · Post by **Claret32yrs** » Tue Mar 10, 2020 7:20 am

Hope Villa go down. Splashing the dosh and no faith in the squad that got them up. Done a Fulham. Norwich are a nice club and play lovely football, but sadly they are down. United seem to have kept faith with their squad and it's paid dividends. Never heard of most of their squad before they came up. Billy Sharp a Premier League striker eh? Who'd have thunk it? Shame for Norwich though. Fair play to their board as well though. They haven't panned Farke when other clubs would have. They see the bigger picture.

Top Claret · Post by **Top Claret** » Tue Mar 10, 2020 8:03 am

Villa were poor last night and looked odds on for relegation. Their defence is crap and their manager clueless. Smith keeps changing his formation one week he plays a back 4 and next week a back 3, as he learnt nothing from Sean Dyche. You never change your shape.

Mings looked clueless, as did Grealish. They made Leicester look good who certainly are not a top 4 side

TC You are going to have to explain this one to me. My definition of a top four side would be one that has been in the top 4 for most of the season, are currently eight points clear of fifth place and don’t have an outstandingly tough run in. I acknowledge that their form recently has been indifferent and they lost to Norwich, but now Vardy is back and scoring they should hold on to their CL spot.

Grealisg gave up after 2-0.

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Tue Mar 10, 2020 9:01 am

Sky pulling the usual crap this morning claiming the penalty wasn't.

They pick the best camera angle to suit them, freeze frame it when the ball is clearly on his shoulder (in 2D), and then abstain from moving the picture on 10 frames, to the actual point of contact, where it clearly hits Mings arm, after he stuck it out.

Do they really think the general public is that naive.
