This is a really poor game.

[filbertway]

Howe just seems to set up not to lose away from Home. 10 goals scored, 12 conceded  and 9 points from 10 games before today. Grotesque for a team of their ability.

Awful away from home.

[The Doctor]

how long before Newcastle move Howe on? Like you can't imagine their owners would be happy with the state of this.

Glad I didn't bother with that one but fair play to Wolves. Derby likely to retain their record for another year. 

 

If you look at it from a positive - 3 draws and 1 win from their last 4. At least there's some fight. Maybe?

Fully deserved on the pitch.

It was!

Two consecutive home clean sheets too. 

 

Draw probably a fair result today although Newcastle had a couple of decent opportunities they wasted.

The draw doesn't do much for either side,but I'd imagine Wolves will be feeling better about it?

Of course. At some point we need to start going for wins, but I think we'll wait until we beat Derby's record first. We don't want that stain and humiliation on our club.

Joke really, he didn't even touch it

Enjoyable game

It's the correct call this time tbh. Armstrong came from an offside position and interfered directly on the phase of play both by "pushing" the defender and trying to win the header. 

Oh, we didn't even need VAR to confirm this because the assistant ref spotted it right away. Good thing VAR didn't overturn assistant ref decision because this wouldn't have been scandalous again.

Lovely cross by tielemans in the box, he's been sensational for villa this season

Two crap games on ‘Super Sunday’

[StanSP]

Half time interviews. When did they start up? 

[Nalis]

Super Sunday? More like 'Scoreless Sunday' am I right??? Rofl

No 🤣

 

 

How did Villa not get a free kick for that push by Grealish leading right up to the goal? 

[jammie82uk]

Bit of luck for Everton should be down to 10 with Garner off and then a slip up from the Villa defense 

[Vacamion]

 

For someone who was doing 6 rolls then thumping the turf repeatedly in agony (and I'm not denying it was a bad tackle) that lad just motored forwards pretty well less than 4 minutes later.

 

 

[StanSP]

Villa useless. 

[fox_up_north]

Shocking from Villa but fair play to Everton. None of top 4 winning on the whole weekend. Ridiculous. 

[surrifox]

I haven’t been paying attention but when did T rex Pickford stop being laughably $hite ?

[fleshdaddy]

Schadenfreude maybe, but when Man City lost yesterday the BBC posted something saying that if Arsenal won, they'd increase the their lead over Man City by 'x' points or whatever it was, and Villa fans were kicking off asking why they weren't mentioned, despite them being on the same number of points as Man City, but saying things like "keep underestimating us", "I prefer us going under the radar" etc.

Next game up at home against Everton and they lose

Newcastle, Villa and even Forest tried to game the league but still fall short, shows how big our win really was regardless of how other teams are performing this season is similar to the season we won it when most of the big teams where going through a rebuild or not doing enough.
