Yeah if Pepe had started scoring we'd have won that. There were moments I thought maybe we would throw it away in the last few minutes but a really strong performance let down by two silly defensive errors.

I'll settle for it, Ta.
This is just hilarious.

The thing that angers me most about that game was how careless we gave the ball away in our half. It's the sort of thing you see a relegation struggling team do once or twice a game.

I was somewhere over the Atlantic when that went down.
Having seen the result and reaction I think I'll stick to enjoying the original Mickey Mouse club than our pale imitation.

Living on high lights at the moment.
Good 3.0 vs Frankfurt and at first sight 3.2 didn't sound too bad v Villa but jeez our defence has more holes than a colander. At that rate I can see us having another season conceding 50 plus.
Roll on Bellerin, Holding and Tierney and let's hope that'll stem the flood. On the plus side Da yoof are looking very promising.

Yeah, but that was the first game in ages at the final whistle I was celebrating. The flaws are obvious, but the comeback was glorious, with a man down that team was throwing everything at winning.

Strange one at the end not to give a handball with his arm out and the ball moving a fair way - but much worse was Sokratis rolling around holding his face trying to get the Villa guy sent off (who literally did nothing). Awful thing that VAR should be able to look at.

We will pay the price but we will not count the cost..

From what I could see, Sokratis had his head in between his legs when the Villa player did a tantrum bashing of his fists against his thighs, unaware Sokratis head was there, so Sokratis thought it was intentional, which it clearly wasn't.
Also, I think the human reaction time isn't fast enough to get your arm out of the way from that range, and his arms were close to his body, and it's a marginal decision.
