Classic example of a player with zero technical ability so has to resort to being a mindless thug on the pitch.
@ Palhinha have that you jumped up little mug

Frank's record against Emery is fucking dreadful. No wonder he's so rattled.
Thomas Frank accused Ollie Watkins of starting the full-time brawl at Tottenham by "provoking" Joao Palhinha after Aston Villa's win tonight.

"Losing a tight game, season not going perfectly and Ollie is very provoking."

He'll make a cracking answer for a pub quiz question in a couple of years time
The longer this goes on, the more likely a decision will be made in January. Harvey Elliott left out of the squad - he's well down Emery's pecking order, who he & #AVFC say accounts for the lack of minutes. But it's becoming very frustrating for Elliott:

He's the 3rd most expensive signing of all time, of course he'll be a flop if he scores less than 20 goals.

Sad times for the Villarreal fans in Miami
🇪🇸⚽️🏆 La Liga’s planned Barcelona vs Villarreal match in Miami has been postponed after organizers ran out of time to make it official. Despite UEFA and RFEF approval, player protests and widespread backlash likely influenced the decision. The game will now be held in Spain.

He's too old now. But if he was 10 or 20 years younger then this might have been interesting.
