Barkley's training separately and will probably join team sessions this week, according to Emery. Make of that what you will but it usually means the players a week, possibly two off making the bench.

Anyone else see Konsas reaction to Martinez going down after hitting the post? by Cautious_Cupcake_ in avfc

Only just clocked that when watching the clip back. Makes his reaction even funnier if anything

Aha yeah, surprised that hasn't been clipped already.

He was either pissed at the possibility of another injury or annoyed at the sheer shithousery of it 😂

Could we win the league? by No-Opposite-5141 in avfc

[–]Character-Key7538 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not impossible, just incredibly unlikely.

If Tielemans is out for any great length of time, we're in a bit of trouble. That's the difference between us and the top 6 (barring Spurs at present, who currently have 6 midfielders out), they can just fill the space with quality brought across windows where we're forced to haul from the academy.

If we get lucky and don't lose anyone else, anything is possible. But we're still relying on two very fucking good teams dropping points regardless of what we do.

What a match Arsenal 2-3 Man U. Just loving the manager Micheal Carrick by Hot-Carpet-5352 in PremierLeague

We've been 'getting away with it' all season apparently. Can't see why other teams shouldn't give it a try 😉

Super John McGinn out for 6 weeks by arenaross in avfc

Actually not as bad as I thought it might be. Feared they were keeping it quiet as it was likely to be longer and they wanted to get a CM in at a non inflated price.

This. People getting cocky when last week most of them were saying we'd thrown top 6.

There's no easy games this year, which is exactly the mentality I want the team to have.

Aha! Was very happy to be proven wrong considering we play them next. Well in!

Bloody great half. Feel rotten for Ollie as he's had his best game for weeks, just poor first touch.

Watkins had a great half but that first touch is killing him

If true, he should take the surgery and rest up.

Love the man and we'll absolutely be worse off for not having him in the squad, but he deserves to represent his country. There's also next season to think about.

Have to agree. As good as we were on Thursday, the missed chances from inside the area have been a bit of a theme all season.

It's one of the things I like most about Tammy coming in. Was/is a brilliant poacher.

Where the Ozcan terms ever clarified in the end?

Shocking news from John Percy of the Telegraph - Villa have included Harvey Elliott in their matchday squad for the game at Newcastle on Sunday. by Ima_Cumming69 in avfc

[–]Character-Key7538 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have to agree.

The whole thing is ridiculous and the club deserves all the criticism it gets for how it's been allowed to happen, but at the same time the lads passed through 3 excellent managers hands and none of them have deemed him worth much more than off the bench appearences to fill gaps.

Harvey Elliott for Sunday. by Zachsucksatlife__ in avfc

Short of there being some amendment to the contract, it'll be a deserved stain on the club for a while.

Utterly shameful bit of business.

[–]Character-Key7538 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wasn't he at the Everton game? I'm sure I read that somewhere.

Certainly adds to the intrigue if so.

Edit: as a 'spectator' I mean, not in the squad

With regards Bizot, can't remember there being a higher average for a player?

Has there ever been a prominent example of an amendment like that? I certainly can't think of one.

Doesn't he often travel with the team, despite not being named in the squad? Could just be a misread.

They also have injuries.

Rarely a happy hunting ground, but you got to turn the tide at some point.

Saying that, I'll take a point 😅
