One bad result and the world is on fire. More posts for a heavy defeat than when we won a European trophy. Climb down Villa fans - it must be exhausting always being that angry. And exhausting always being right after the fact.

Firstly, fair play to Brighton yesterday. They were the better team and deserved to win. It's incredibly disrespectful to them to put the thumping down to Villa playing badly or various recruitment issues. No matter how many players Brighton sell, they rebuild and find a way to remain competitive and attractive. Oh, hang on, we do that as well. And we'll do it this season too.

Moaning about Emery is pathetic. He is the best thing to happen to this club in decades, and if the fickle whinging Villa Park (alleged) faithful drive him away, then shame on us. He needs our support, the team need our support.

The outgoings have been frustrating, but that's football. It's a business, everything and everyone has a price. A week of the transfer window remains, where hopefully we keep doing some business and add to what we have. And then accept it will take some time for it all to knit together.

We need 37, 000 positive voices on Monday vs Arsenal. Not groaning after 5 mins. Pull yourselves together.

Hi Syston, agree with everything you say except when you say it is a business. Business owners are usually allowed to invest to improve their business, Villa owners aren't allowed to do that.
