The pressure of going up against city and having to win 16 of the last 17 coming in just destroyed us. Perfect or die is the game we’re in and the players looked completely mentally and physically exhausted today. Like pushing a boulder up Everest with your nose. City will win the fucking treble ag...

It’s like City do it on purpose though - to help promote and sell the PL product better? Every season a bit ropey and signs of weakness for the first 20-25 games and then straight into a 12-15 game winning streak. We were shit today no mistake, but which team can honestly compete against Man City, t...

I think we have improved but we’re still missing that goalscorer to dig us out of a whole when the manager fucks up on the big occasions or when we’re facing elite European opposition. The team that signed the City reject striker will likely lose the title to aforementioned who signed a top 3 strike...

The only upside of a terrible performance is that every team we face from now in the league will be worse than them. If we can somehiw win our 6 remaining games, that would still give us I reckon a 50-50 chance. Maybe we have a 1/10 chance still if lifting the PL, same as Liverpool. The game against...

Well now we know... Still the same mental fragility And yes we will miss not having a centre forward. Jesus absolutely pathetic and then you see Nketiah's cameo and you realise his back up is even worse Game over for another boring season. We will play like 11 strangers wading through treacle in le...

Most pathetic performance of the season. What a time for every player to shit the bed. It was - the only silver lining is we were never winning this anyway. Villa are a great side, but then also needing wins against Old Trafford and Tottenham. Was always just a nice dream, City are relentless. I’m ...

Arteta has questions to answer about that 2nd half. We got absolutely owned. You can’t just put that on the players.

The only silver lining is that we maybe get to share the bottler tag with Liverpool this season. Truth be told Villa are a great side who we just failed to match on the day. While Palace are a bit shit.

Still a great effort this season but we were never going to win the league without a top quality striker

That’s the reality of it. Seeing Jesus doing whatever it is he is doing. It’s like fighting these heavyweights - City, Madrid, Bayern with one hand tied. behind your back.

Villa are absolute fu kids to play against, and then Bayern at home... I honestly had a sinking feeling this morning that these two games could end the season because this team/manager just still doesn’t have that ruthless streak. A double treble for City it is then.

Arteta fucked up badly. Outplayed the whole second half. Deserved win for Villa. Emery must fucking love it.

ESR could have taken him out - might have got away with a yellow if he’d done it early.

Look at it this way. We have a decent shot at beating Bayern. Then in the semis we either face Madrid - which is doable to set up a really winnable final. Or we get two games to kick lumps out of Man City and hopefully destroy their title challenge.

I think Porto are very good at what they do, which is keeping it tight at the back and then shit housing. And in fairness they have enough about them to keep some decent possession as well. Unlikely we win the whole thing but probably any team we might meet in the QFs or SFs is going to provide a mu...

Got Ray Houghton on RTE, he can’t disguise his hatred for us.
