    I'm just bemused. Are they trying to kill off Alan Hansen or something?

    Villa has a +9 GD. Liverpool is at 0. Man City is at -1.

    This is all perfectly normal, I assure you.

    The plus point from Liverpool is that they have improved this half <laugh>

    They've hit the bar, and barkley has missed two sitters as well. Should be 10 at least

    Just for a change, I won't be impatiently waiting for the Saints game on MOTD2.

    I'm not suggesting for one single moment that I thought they could put seven past Liverpool, but going into the final weekend of the transfer window, I have been enormously impressed at Villa's transfer activity. Like I said during the week, I think Barkley could be the signing of the season.

    If Watkins can do it at PL level (and today would suggest that is a yes), then they can absolutely finish in the top 10. I can't see Europe, simply because the competition for top six (or seven) looks incredibly strong. But from being one goal away from the Championship, I'd suggest that Villa have jumped straight past the likes of us and Palace.

    Also, through four matches, we have seen 11 goals. That's 2.75 a game, a pretty normal total in most years. Except that only one team -- Sheffield United, naturally -- has featured fewer goals per game. Because everything is madness. In 2020-21, Ralph is a conservative manager.

    Even the BBC are taking the pi55:

    FULL-TIME
    Aston Villa 7 (SEVEN)-2 Liverpool

    Villa edge champions Liverpool

    England’s first choice CB partnership collectively conceded 13 goals today, heading straight into an international break.

    Just so that people can wrap their heads around how insane the goal totals are: the current record for most goals allowed in a 38-game season is 89, by the infamously-bad Derby side. Five teams are currently surrendering more goals...including the defending champions.

    Today's #goalwatch: 4.17 goals/game, so the average continues to tick up.

    You know it's a mental game when you're actually disappointed that it was only 7 at the final whistle.
