    He won the ball.....then clattered into him. Totally unneccessary and incredibly risky. We all having a chuckle over it in hindsight, but if he'd getting sent off then it would have been game over.

    He did like, and in all honesty, it's my kind of tackle. But there are some linos and refs who would have red carded him anyway.

    Mind, that ref was useless all afternoon!

    He is a cracking player, someone I rate highly, but he was totally off it yesterday. For a player of his quality to put in a performance like that it starts to give the impression that he's not happy with something at the club so he's going through the motions. Especially after having a good game for England a couple of weeks ago against Serbia. He almost looked a different player. Ollie Watkins was the same, a years off the pace and didn't seem bothered. Worrying for Villa if that's the case.

    Aye. Wasn't the only one who looked in a huff mind.

    They were all waiting for one of the others to do it. I think they thought they had it all done when we went down to ten and never really came to terms with the fact that we didn't think the same!

    Delighted for Dan Neil getting on. Must’ve been a very proud day for his family, he’s achieved a lot here so far but to play in the PL is something else. Hopefully it gives him a lift

    what would have been given the other way around is what I'd consider. Both went in together and Hume got there first. If he'd missed the ball, different matter, but he was first to it.

    It certainly is him, though they were unable to spell his name correctly . . . . and near the start my neighbour & his son slowly walked past, too !

    Well played, Marcus :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Obviously not m8, otherwise with var he would have got one. I think, btw, had that happened to one of ours I would’ve been screaming for a card but with the help of video I would have said good old fashioned hard, but fair.

    I thought he was in trouble when I watched it live in the ground… wasn’t the case, thankfully

    It was definitely before the final whistle. He clearly wasn’t happy with his side
