Pretty much why I didn't mention it. Last season's win against them maybe, but not this year.
The year before was one of the greatest games I have been to. Loved every min of it.

Enjoyed Villa in the league cup. Was a bit of a false dawn though
we played well for one half against Chelsea.Newcastle and Stoke, obv. But I also think we did well against Chelsea at the start of the season and was unfortunate not to get 3 points.
For me I think the best I have seen us play this year was the first 45mins against Chelski. (I can't think of a single game where we have played well for 90 mins). We were intelligent with our shape, we were up for it, played as a team not a bunch of individuals and Towsend was a "genuine" threat attacking them on the front foot. 2nd half was the total opposite brought about by Maureen's changes but considering the quality of the opposition I thought we put in a solid defensive display too. This was a genuine test for us and I saw more positives than negatives (taking the 90 mins into account too). The bad thing about this result is we have not improved since then whilst they have, as you would expect a team with new signings to do so, the return fixture I am not confident about.
Whilst we dominated in the Stoke game and scored gaols, I am left with the feeling that was largely due to the fact that they were gash, rather than us being brilliant.
Last season ?I thought one of the best games last season was the Inter demolition (i.e. an EL clash), so here's hoping tonight can also allude to such heights
yeah, you're right. such a long time ago.we played well for one half against Chelsea.
We've had better results than performances imo......cant say Ive been in awe for over two years now.
Toon away for me.

Tbh I havent left a match yet this season and thought 'My God we played well today'
Possibly had we gone to the Stoke game then maybe then. Plenty of matches where we had a good half or 30mins.
Newcastle away I think we only played as well as they let us. I did enjoy our away day at Swansea, while Villa away in the LC was the most comfortable I have felt at an away match, mainly because they were that poor rather than us being that brilliant.
Southampton at home promises to be an exciting match though
Cardiff away 5th game of the season. Paulinho's last minute goal and the mental reaction to send us joint top. Was genuinely excited for the season at that point!
