Took my 7yo to his first game at Villa Park today. Absolutely buzzing!

Okay this is going to be a bore all draw… no way a goal in the last minutes of extra time!!! Oh wait now it’s a draw again.

That was Mount’s first goal since 2022. I know he’s been injured lately but that’s kinda fucked.

For him I suppose that’s pretty surprising, you’d usually expect close to double figures each season. I still find it odd that he left Chelsea.

That was 100% a pen against Kalvin Phillips. My man just played the game and knows pens are soft as shit now. So put himself in the way.

How many games has he played this season. 100% goes to the Euros haha

Mate come on. Gordon stopped Phillips from kicking the ball. Gordon didn’t try and play the ball, he just put his leg in the way of Phillips’ kick. Gordon fooled them by going down like he’d been shot. If anything it was a foul on Phillips.

Really bad decision.

Aye that Newcastle game was class and that last minute goal was mint but nevermind that not being a pen it should have been a foul in Hammers favour!! Glad Gordon got sent off at the end hahah rat

Well boring this match

I genuinely found it fascinating but you are right, not a lot happened.

Oh yeah I watched the full thing and liked the tactical side of it. Second half was more enjoyable but that first was just really dull. Fair result in the end.

I’m really torn, in a way I’d rather Arsenal (club) win the league. But Arsenal (fans) would be the absolute worst if they did.

Anyone but Liverpool

As long as it’s not Liverpool I can live with City or Arsenal this season.

Anyone but City. If they win it this year, that would be their 6th PL title in the last 7 years.

Having a club, which is effectively the play thing and PR vehicle for a Middle Eastern autocracy, be that dominant is pretty wack for the league. Soulless football club.

The concrete bit followed by the ham faced arsehole made me actually laugh out loud.

Forget the ā€œwokeā€ St George flag on the England shirt. How the fuck did Adidas QC sign off on this font for the shirt numbers?!
