I think Rice is going to be a complete failure at Arsenal. There is no way he's worth 105mm & the pressure of it will tell.
Declan Rice could you please stop making look like an idiot that knows nothing about football?
I'm quite capable of doing that on my own.

Well that certainly helped Fulham's GD. 10 goals in our first ten games. Now 11 in the last three? Mitro who....
It was getting a bit nerve wracking with our run between the international breaks, but as long as we keep beating the teams we are expected to and pick up the odd result elsewhere - which is what we are doing - and don't sell Palhinha in January, we will be fine.

@dogmeat certainly a good win, I will also happily take the away win at Palace!
Our goal difference is ruined from our start to the season though
-
Fantastic win for AV. They were superb in all facets. City looked toothless. They have 3 points from last 4 games.

@Billy-Tell six points behins Arse now too as they drop to 4th.
Still favourites for title but at least the race should now go beyond February
-
well my tab account certainly liked the Villa win as well. Think the suspension was only for that game so won't be backing against City on the weekend

I think a lot of people thought he was not worth 105 as he does not stand out like a Viera. But he makes an impact and without him Arsenal would be a mess. Level headed, humble and it is hard to root against him. Has he played a bad game for Arsenal? Should be captain really.

I remember my mates at the beginning of the season giving me funny looks when I said Villa would finish in the top 4. Obviously still a long way to go and we don't have the depth to challenge for the title or anything like that, but we certainly have the squad for a top 4 finish.
Bailey killed them on that right flank, finding acres of space in that pocket that City like to leave open, Kamara cut everything out which stifled their attack and made life easier for Torres and Carlos, and McGinn was everywhere at bothe ends of the park as usual. One of the most underrated players in the league. Villa would be a lot weaker without him.
Roll on Arsenal.

@African-Monkey I would hope that Arsenal is more of a threat down the wings than City were.

@Bovidae They will be. I think Konsa and Carlos breathed a sigh of relief when Grealish and Doku were out today, and Arsenal tend to play with a bit more width. Havertz scoring some goals will also strengthen that side of the park with Martinelli, and Saka being Saka will always be a threat.
-
well that was a couple of results not everyone saw coming. Bowen looked ok at striker for the Hammers too
-
Newcastle's injury crisis finally caught up with them. Some big names have been mentioned as a potential replacement for Pope.
@Bovidae well they have the money, but the only time you could argue keeper error was the last goal where Dubravka got nutmegged, but the the first two goals were not even close to his fault.
They should be looking at defender replacements not keeper.
Hell I would give man of match to Tripps in his Everton shirt

@bayimports I didn't see the game but did read that Trippier's errors gifted Everton their 2nd and 3rd goals. I was talking more about having to play the same 10 outfield players continuously in midweek and weekend games.
@Bovidae that I can agree with, for me it's weird they're looking for a Pope replacement at this stage where that is not really where the problem lies.

Wins over City and Arsenal in the space of 4 days. Up the Villa!

@African-Monkey Deserved win over our bunch of softies. We had plenty of chances though but finishing and rolling around on the ground for extended periods let us down.

@African-Monkey you’re we’re lucky to draw with cherries
Man U had no such luck. Best win for us this year, Man U hardly threatened. Up the cherries!
