Jack Grealish was huge in that match. Covered so much ground. Linked play between the defense and attack. Really impressive.

I wonder if England will try and get him.

They will try. He has some big decisions coming up as other clubs will make offers and England will try to poach him. He has a calmness that is rarely seen. He is quite the find. Let's hope Villa stay up so he can work with Sherwood and Delph for a while.

And hopefully safety comes soon so we can get a fit squad ready for the FA Cup final. The Arse will be near impossible to beat.

To be honest I am starting to hope we don't make it into the EL next season. United have benefited greatly from no European football this season and so did Liverpool last season. Those thursday games are a killer.

True. Champions league killed Villa in 09.

Considering the title race was over before we entered the top 2, a good point especially with United losing.

Comcast sucks. They pulled the Aston Villa game at the last second and my guy scored twice! I sure picked the wrong time to get in to this I had AT&T for years and they had every game on. Comcast has certain games On Demand but maybe the work maybe they don't. They don't even provide BEIN in HD. First world problems.

That Messi/Suarez/Neymar combo is quite effective, huh?

Bada, this makes for interesting reading.

btw, how did you come to support Villa? I've been a fan since 81 and we are a rare breed.

Well I just started watching but probably the first 4 or 5 games I watched just happened to be Villa and Benteke kept scoring goals and it was really exciting. The sport clicked for me in a way it never really had before. I had every intention on taking my time choosing a team to root for but I find myself wanting to watch and cheer for Villa. I'm pretty ignorant of rivalries and histories and what the stereotypical fan of each club is like but I'm an American so I guess I don't have to worry about hooligans beating me up. :D 100 out of 100 people I know will think a Aston Villa is a car.

Be very aware that life as a Villa fan is actually rather dismal. I am happy for you but also I pity you.

But it's much better to support a team that provides highs (although rare) with the lows instead of chasing a winning/champion team. Okay so Villa won the league in 81 but I was 5 and impressionable. Since then it has been a rough ride with only a couple of real highs.

Anyway, :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
