  1. As a Villa fan, I've never felt too bad about this. Earlier in the season, in the dying seconds of a game against Crystal Palace with Villa losing 1-0, Jack Grealish charged forward through several Palace players. Getting a nudge in the back from Zaha, he took the contact from Cahill ahead of him and slid a perfectly-timed ball to Henri Lansbury who lashed it into the net for an equaliser. Except Kevin Friend, expecting Grealish by reputation to be diving, had already blown for simulation and booked Grealish in one of the worst refereeing decisions I've ever seen (why would you play the pass and get straight back up if you're fishing for a foul? a foul was clearly worse than the goal scored for Villa), and the game ended 0-1 despite Villa having had a completely legitimate goal ruled out.

    Things have a way of balancing themselves out, and Villa were both blatantly gifted an undeserved point during this season, and blatantly robbed of a deserved one.

    The real imbalance was that a point owing to Sheffield United was denied and two were given to Crystal Palace who didn't deserve it; as I recall both finished comfortably mid-table, so the balance of these two awful decisions was neutral.

  2. AMEN! Be thankful that GOD woke you up today! Let's keep this family friendly please! GOD DOES! Pray for everyone! None of us are worthy!But remember, GOD hates the sin, not the sinner! AMEN! 🙏🏾✝️

  3. Of course it’s this referee. The same that denied a penalty in brazils favor in the 2022 wc against croatia. A game we lost in the end. This guy has to be fired by fifa. A shame to football

  4. Aston Villa – Dont get relegated, improve their team, sellg realish for 100m, get europe in 3 years
    Bournemouth – get relegated, lose Howe
    Newcastle – Recruit free agent Howe, rebuilds team in year and half, gets Champions League
    Sheffield Utd – Kinda bottle europe and get relegated a year later due to poor form carried over by this game

    damn

  5. While I don't like the outcome. I don't feel aggrieved that the ref didn't go to the screen. Goal Line Tech had been pretty much faultless up to that point.
    VAR wasn't supposed to be used for goal line decisions. HENCE Goal Line tech…

    Would the guy in Stockley Park have any reason whatsoever to doubt the automated technology? I would think not..

  6. Repent of your sins and be baptized …And remember the sabbath which is Saturday 😊and keep it Holy it is the 4th commandment in Exodus 20:8-11

  7. You know what happened next after this game. Aston Villa not only spared their relegation, but they also returned back to Europe with Unai Emery. Sheffield United, on the other hand, got relegated the next season after this best Premier League finish. Even they made a swift return this season, the club is also disappointed again and are on verge of being relegated once more.

    Edit: Turns out that both sides had a disappointing start this season. Aston Villa lost to Legia Warsaw, while Sheffield United is even worse (0-8 vs Newcastle United).

  8. Remembered watching it live… mad scene. Davis being there to push Nyland over the line may have also disrupted Hawkeye and saved us. People were too upset over this decision though, we had been robbed numerous times that season like at Crystal Palace when Friend blew on a perfectly fine goal. That free kick also came from a dive + that goal being allowed would have ultimately changed the rest of the game/season too so Bournemouth and Watford can have no complaints.

  9. There is nothing prayer cannot do 😊. I struggled relegation anxiety with Villa between 2011 and 2015. I'm glad we are where we are today. We are Villa and we are proud 💪😊
