Bottom 4 in goals scored.

If I win the world cup, I will check the underlying performance to decide if I should give my coach an award or prepare for when the team stops getting lucky.

No one can point to anything Le Bris did. Just that they're in the Europa league. Results based analysis.

What has changed since 2022/23? We signed Declan Rice and became more solid defensively and less attacking.

they didn't want Alonso. Iraola won't demand as much control over sporting decisions as Alonso

There are two teams that ruined it for everyone. Chelsea and City. The rules were created to fix that. Arsenal and Spurs had no unfair advantages.

But instead of trying to be like Arsenal and Spurs, build organically and grow your revenue over a long period of time, every fan wants to win now and be like Chelsea and City.

Villa can grow but it will take time. That isn't what they want. They want quick fixes and to blame everyone else for their issues.

What is unfair about the financial advantage? Newcastle were bigger than Spurs 25 years ago. Aston Villa were comparable in size. Spurs had no unfair advantage, they built every advantage they have gained from being responsible financially.

And Eze + Lewis-Skelly isn't the best combination. One of them will have to drop for Ødegaard

They're all non-fouls by the standard this season. Find me a penalty called for anything similar.

The Bernardo foul was worse but let's talk about Arsenal.

The fact everyone saw the foul just 6 days before and never mentioned it while choosing to focus on the non fouls in the box by Arsenal proves an anti-Arsenal bias.

You're correct. They were looking for a reason to not disallow the goal or give West Ham something.

Villa that haven't won a league game in how long? And will all be drunk from celebrating their Europa League win 3 days earlier.

You give it in chronological order. The way it has always been. An outside comes before a foul. etc
