Forest fan here. A GREAT video from a true football supporter, with such open and honest views. Thanks for saying such nice things about our club and our city. Great to see Forest and The Villa back together so high in the PL. Well done!
Forest fan here 🌳 I felt it was a 1-1 all day. City Ground spirit, and being on the wrong end of the VAR for Woods goal was the difference maker. It galvanised the team and gave them the impetus to go for a winner. I will say, great game, ref allowed it to be free flowing and not stop start. Both teams embraced it and went up and down the pitch. Martinez save was world class! We were on the right side of a few VAR decisions today which could have gone either way. Thanks for enjoying Nottingham and great production 👍🏻
From a forest fan, this was the best vlog, I've seen from opposition fans, great content, glad you liked our ground and city, merry Xmas to you and villa, a great club
@Josh.Stanley And we were on the wrong end of VAR for that stone wall penalty and your winner. Matty Cash was fouled, there's no two ways about it. The Woods goal was off side, so you weren't really on the wrong side of VAR, it was the correct decision. Villa were on the wrong side of VAR woth the incorect decisions 🙄. Glad to see Forest back in the Prem where they belong though.
Oh sorry if it came across I was saying we were on the wrong end of VAR. We were not, as I said at the end, VAR absolutely favoured us on the day. What was eluding to was Woods goal being scrubbed off due to an armpit actually did them a favour and galvanised the team to push on ‘against the adversity’. I always look at incidents if it was the other way would feel hard done by and aggrieved. The penalty shout… I’d’ve been happy has the ref blown and given it, there was a tug for sure. Only thing I can think is VAR saw it both ways as they had Anderson shirt round his face to start. Anyway, I’d’ve been fine if it was given. The foul for the second goal… in my eyes, ref had set the tone of the game and Forest played to it better on the night and played to the whistle. Bearly any fouls similar had been given, and ref and VAR must’ve seen it as a 50:50 🤷🏼♂️ It says a lot when the only yellow card was Duran on Sels, which I’d even argue Sels look to target Duran 😂 I’m not saying it isn’t a foul another day, but on the day; the ref had let most go and allowed it to the free flowing and played advantage where possible.
I've got to say to u villa fans how was it a pen when your guy pulled Anderson top nearly off first so in my view both lads was guilty so it could of went both ways so fair is fair there but still love the villa rather then Birmingham city but u reds all the way merry Christmas villa boys
I like Forest and what they’re doing. They deserved the win for sheer grit and determination. We were all over the place for last 20 mins. We have to learn to play out matches. A weakness we need to eliminate. Never seen Unai as angry. Anyway well done Forest. Come on Villa let’s pick it up. UTV. Merry Xmas Max.
I’m glad he’s angry. Really hope he mends this as this could’ve so easily been a massive win on the road. Big lessons to learn about seeing games out and making the right subs
.....another Forest fan here. Great video mate and nice to see your appreciation of Nottingham and the City Ground. I thought Kamara was bossing the midfield and was surprised when he was substituted. Good luck for the rest of the season.
From a forest fan ,brilliant vlogg , I would have taken a draw. We just need another 6 points and we won't get relegated, this time last year we were relying on other teams around us to lose to keep us in touch for survival. Good luck villa in Europe you have a good enough squad to play in Europe & the the prem
It's the same story every week. We just cannot defend, especially under pressure. I think we need Mings to be starting every week now, he's a real leader back there. Or at least until the summer when we can strengthen the back line. Kamara has to play 90mins, should of been him AND onana on the pitch to see out the game
The difference was that Forest's substitutions impacted the game, whereas ours actually weakened us. The way we concede goals is highly concerning. Think we'll end up mid table because of this weakness.
Pretty much bang on with that comment chap. Where we are so different this year is that we have a strong bench. Added to the fact we do no have your schedule our whole squad is always hungry and ready.
I was there yesterday, I am gutted we lost that. Having seen it back, how was that not a penalty? We actually drank at a place called The Navigation just down the road from The Nest. It had a huge fanzone out the back. Villa and Forest fans mixing and no problems, great place.
Another Forest fan here. Don't normally watch oppo fans vlogs, but gave yours a go. Glad I did. Top vlog, very fair and balanced. Will check a few more out. Always nice to hear away fans appreciating the City Ground
I'll always appreciate that even through disappointment and defeat, you'll still make thoroughly entertaining content for us, Max. Let's take it to City next week! UTV!
Great content as usual max. Was watching Nunos post match interview saying he will be giving the team a extra day off because of how hard they have worked ready to prepare for Brentford and go again. Some of our support need to realise physically and mentally having to play elite teams mid week and travelling and finding the same energy levels to go again against team's well rested who have also heavily invested was never going to be easy and how hard our team and management are working.
I know we got robbed on the pen that 2nd Forest goal probably shouldn’t have stood but we should’ve seen that out anyway. I think Duran has to start playing more minutes as does Kamara and Villa need to maintain control / kill these games off
You lot really remind me of us two years ago when we finished 7th. Always had a soft spot for Forest, we were both kings of Europe back in the day, hopefully we're both back there together next season. 💜🤝❤️
@ exactly that we on the rise we got a good team couple good signings in January and I think we might actually have a shot but you lot are class team who deserve what they have already achieved 🔴⚪️
Extremely frustrating result. When are we going to stop making these stupid defensive errors. However respect on Forest. They never gave up. If we have to lose in this manner, I am glad it is against Forest. A proper club. UTV
Thanks for the kind words. Always respected Villa - fellow European Cup winners (when it actually WAS for Champions ONLY - unlike the, er, Champion's League) Always looked forward to visiting Villa Park - unlike Wolves or Birmingham - where there was always trouble. I once got ejected though (along with many others) for doing a 'w@nker sign' at Gary Shaw when he missed a sitter. A little bit later the police disperced and the turnstile operator let us back in! Good man! On another occasion in the '90/91 season my mate (whose mum worked at Forest) managed to get us tickets to Villa's game against Inter in the Europa League. Inter had a stellar line-up including Zenga, Brehme, Berti, Klinnsman and Matthaus - Villa winning 2 0 of course. Very enjoyable it was too. I also had an unnerving trip to Molineux once. A rep who came to our business was a big Wolves fan. They were due to play us at Molineux and he asked if I wanted to go as his guest. Of course. Close to half-time he left his seat to get us some 'refreshments'. Whilst he was gone Stan Collymore (what a player he was) banged in a screamer. I sat on my hands of course. 'You ain't bloody scored have yow?' I just smiled.....
Unfortunately mings fell ill before game this was his type of game and what we needed. Unai recognised this but a forced change. Onto the next !!!! Onto the next
We will just have to face it, we cannot handle two major competitions, we are always crap after a European night. While we ran out of steam, forest got stronger! We bottled it and for me, Kamara going off was the difference. UTV
I was seriously concerned in the summer when we didn’t strengthen our defence, and it’s come back to bite us in our ass. We seriously need some bolstering at the back in January or we simply will not make any progress. I trust Unai going forward
There is one thing and one thing only that cost us that game, and that is the substitutions. Hooking Kamara was a big mistake, he was immense all game. And Mings needs to be starting from now on, he provides calmness to our back four, which is priceless at the moment. And Martinez was at fault for for at least one of their goals. We need to strengthen in January, that's for sure.
Should have at least got a point. Martinez save of the season, should have had a pen, Duran great header and should have stayed on the pitch, the forest offside goal should have been given, it was millimetres. Forest winner was a foul on Cash but Konsa can not be playing him the ball there under so much pressure. Need a big performance against City next game. uTv
Mings and Konsa in the centre are needed asap. We’ve lost some stupid games - had we have won them we’d be at least 2nd! Something isn’t right at the moment and it needs to change….quickly! This time last year, teams feared us, they don’t now! Fingers crossed it clicks again soon! UTV
I don’t think we can have any complaints there, They were just better than us both in attack and defence. One thing that bothers me is that every time we have an opportunity to put a marker down, we bottle it, examples, chance to go top last season, 3 chances to clinch top 4 last season without relying on others teams, chance to jump into top 4 yesterday ! We just don’t have the minerals for it. Next 2 games, City and Newcastle
wish he would stop messing about with defence. can he not work out konza is not a right back and when he took digne off we were weaker at back. great vid again max UTV
Great video from a Forest Fan who doesn't live too far from that little station! Two coaches the norm around the East Midlands on local services. A great match.
forest fan here, great video and i love the comments about our city and ground i echo that about your ground and city, proper fan, good luck for the season and keep sharing the great content.
VAR, pointless! Not renewing my season ticket next season! First half was a borefest,a light training session.Its not just the penalty decision,we were weak,forest just out muscled us of the ball,Ref was useless. Unai same old answers,process,focus ect.In game management was poor,too many subs! Well done forest,never gave up!
That Notts County fan zone Is the best ever shame Notts County are not in a higher league but it’s amazing I watched all of Englands Euros back in the summer that place reminds me of box park Wembley best one in Nottingham
Great video from a Forest fan here in peace. Genuinely think both our set of fans feel the same about each other, weirdly. Lots of mutual respect. Game was on a knife edge and thought we'd lost when Duran scored as you were set up so well out of possession. Football has other ideas and on another day, it's a foul on Cash in the build up for the winner. Good luck for the rest of the season and hopefully we're both in similar positions for the reverse
Hey mate, forest fan here. I've known of ur channel since u did the Redditch vs Ilkeston game (Ilkeston my local side) & I have no bad words about you/your channel always very insightful & class. What Unai has done for you is mental, wishing you nothing the best going forward pal. Have a class crimbo and new years.
Another Forest fan here, and like the others have said, I really enjoyed this video. Really great quality content and commentary, and appreciate the lovely comments about our great city and club. Good luck for the rest of the season, always liked the Villa.
Always look forward to seeing your vlogs whenever we beat ya, always great angles and opinions etc. You also always catch the opposition goal celebrations, and never cut that stuff out. Top class 🤝
Great video pal, you lot made some bloody noise thats for sure - I was in the upper stand with you lot below. Good luck further into Europe. Happy Christmas to all of you Villans.
"why are there only 2 carriages on the train .. people talking about politics and Margaret Thatcher on the train, can't be doing with that" 😆 Did you mean that as an ironic joke?
Forest Fan here. Great win for us against a very good team. Always had a soft spot for Villa. Hope you are up there with us at the end of the season. Great video by the way, thanks for the nice comments about the club and Nottingham.
Agreed about the subs. Forest's affected the game ours didn't. In the cold light of day we probably made our substitutions too late as the team were tiring. Always the same with the Villa!
Just come across your channel bro. Great content and footage from the game. Gotta say massive respect for the kind words mate. And The Sadpies are skint and stolen our idea. We have a couple of fanzones but unfortunately both are for Forest fans only. Like you've said we are two European giants and it's nice to be playing each other again. Got alot of respect for Villa and their fans I have a couple of friends who are villains so we're pretty much brothers in arms. Tbh I would've taken a point before a ball was kicked. You was spot on about the game when we scored and offside I did think here we go again VAR had done us over and like you said the warning signs were there. But last year we would've folded and lost the game but the togetherness we have atm is never say die. When we equalised, I was waiting for the whistle then 7 minutes came up and we went for it. Sorry for you guys because I thought a point was the fair result but to take all 3 is absolutely madness and my wife's team beating Shity aswel made this weekend amazing good luck for the season bro 🔴🌳🇵🇪⭐KTRFFH⭐🇦🇹
Forest fan in peace. Class video mate loved that, seen a couple of yours before and they're up there as some of the best in the genre. Very fair and gracious comments. FWIW if the shoe was on the other foot my head would have been on mars for the Rogers penalty incident!!(as it was for the Elanga offside which was equally as bizarre) He has to at least be sent to the screen there so have another look and decide for himself if Anderson was fouled before - but the actual incident in isolation was defo a pen for me on every day of the week. Not a foul on Cash for me either, its a bit aggressive but he needs to be so much stronger and composed there. He just didn't want the ball there but Anderson did - and got it! As you say though, you still managed to get your noses in front and were in control without needing the penalty, so you've got to manage the game better - especially against our lads who are grabbing every point by the scruff of the neck at the moment and showing huge desire and energy. You looked jaded in the last 20 minutes and badly missing Douglas Luiz who would have been that powerful presence to impose a bit of calm and control of the game. Great to see Villa making big noises in the Champions League and hope you're up there again - with us not far behind! Nature is healing!
There’s something going on behind the scenes at villa don’t sub Duran ffs and kamara we need to spend in Jan because if we don’t and get the defense sorted I wouldn’t fancy emerys chances at villa his players are letting him down so get tough with them I’d be off my fooking head if I was the manager
As a Forest fan I would say the Villa fans took this bitter loss quite stylish. He had a bunch of such loss last season, and it's hard not to be furious from time to time. I wouldn't objected too much if Villa got a spot kick, it was a highly questionable decision to let that one go. The tackle before the last goal was tough, but as a former ref I would also say it was fair enough. Anderson is just using his body, no arms or legs to steal the ball. Thumbs up and a happy Christmas for you Villa-guys, hope you continue to rock on in CL.
Forest fan. Love this channel-great Vlog as always. We were owed some decisions after the shockers we have had from VAR over the years. Good luck in CL!
I'm still angry after those last few minutes. We keep giving the ball away in stupid areas. It was a foul on Cash 100% but shouldn't be playing it to him there. A few seconds earlier we did the same thing. What are VAR doing by the way? I believe that some backhanders are been given out there. A full explanation should be given at the time and the crowd should hear it over the loudspeakers. So corrupt! Changes need to be made for the sake of the game-I am sick of it! Very poor defending also and Carlos is such a liability. UTV
Obviously glad Forest took the points but I think there’s a genuine respect between Forest and Villa fans which is great to see. Two great clubs, great grounds, great sets of fans. Honestly wish Villa nothing but success, got a real soft spot for them.
Forest season card holder. A strange game. Dire first-half and then a tremendous, unexpected climax to the game. Even VAR couldn't save you. It's a cruel game sometimes. Terrific video.
Same thoughts, really really frustrating :-) story of the season in the Premier League, we keep allowing teams in and giving away cheap goals unfortunately. If Ty plays we come away with something. Its not teams killing us either, prior to the game i did think forest would win 2-1 but as we played relatively well during the match and took the lead, I thought great we're actually going to get something. But yep certainly sets us back again. Its just we could be quite comfortably in the top 4 positions by now. Is that 10 points we've dropped from winning positions! Oh well. If we beat city 5-1 or something daft like that we'll all be able to move on lol!
Just to add to Jamie's comments below. A really enjoyable video from a true football fan. many thanks for the kind comments on our City and football club.
Soon as the equaliser was scored, could see exactly what was guna happen, no urgency, slow play, gutted, not sure the players knew the formation, wether 3 at bk or 4, konsa defo looked rb, that right of a 3 , go again, utv lion
A Forest fan here, a top game yesterday!. Me the Mrs and my 8 year old son were at the City Ground. Ollie my lad plays grassroots football and just loves football!. We spoken about the history of Villa Park and it’s on his list to visit, and mine!. A great club, up the Villa!.🌳💪
Shambolic defence. Didn't understand the late substitution of Kamara. This team will not be really good until we have a top defence. Still way short of good defenders. Inconsistent Villa march on.
Forest fan to go to Villa Matches when I was in the Army in the 1970's and stationed in Worcester and visited Birmingham Markets with the family. Lovely City.
Got to wake up. Not playing well, and I'm struggling to see ya get much next three games. Players mistakes costing us - yes great save Martinez but then he does a nyland. Made regular mistakes now over last month. Worst minute of football from a professional player in Matt Cash. Argument for a foul, but he lost possession twice prior to that by waiting for the ball to arrive to him. Very very poor.
East Midlands Trains are AWFUL! Always two carriages! And usually late! Rant rant rant.... That John Duran song is class! Hope you enjoyed your visit (other than the result) and hope you smash Europe👍👍
Instead of watching Villa or premier league football yesterday i went to watch Walsall vs Barrow. It was raw, entertaining and there was no fannying about from the players the ref or from either bench. Also, of course there was no VAR. But for me the biggest thing i noticed was how much more the ball was in play during the 90 mins compared to a premier league game. I'm kind of done with the circus now. The straw that has broke the camels back for me is the Champions League officiating, it just looks corrupt. Anyway rant over, good vlog max. Keep up the good work and i may be following Villa via you from now on whilst i get my football fix elsewhere........
Torres isn’t the same defender this season, there is no solid partner with him, something sint right,,, but that was a blatant penalty, As for nxt week against city let’s see if we can turn it on like last season Up the villa
TBH I don't think we did much wrong not to get 3pts & a couple goals, as Forest didn't really turn up until we scored. Forest reacted to our goal, we didn't react to the warning of the disallowed goal, they're a very organised team & playing decent. Could've & should've had a pen for the pull on Rogers imo, also 100% a foul on Cash to get the ball back for the winner, however VAR are never going to get involved :(
Why do VAR work against us? If it's not giving us a penalty, or they say it's offside, then it'll be offside to the opposition but they never give it offside. Someone up there don't like us.
When that happens in the last 2-3 minutes it is just embarrassing. Especially when the team is visiting . Those points are precious in a hostile stadium. Lack of concentration and no gonads, no "huevos... no cojones"
Was always going to be tricky , they are a good side , frustrating that we got the "moment" with Emis save followed by Durans goal , that should have been game over as it looked to be a one goal game. Gotta admire the way Forest went into the deep water , we look leggy late on and Champions League is taking its toll. I feel sorry for Watkins , hes done so well for us but the new kid on the block just looks better in every department and i think Ollie probably knows it , his body language says it all, might be worth cashing in now as i think in 12 months time the price will be far less. I think if he goes he will get goals elsewhere , its just right now we are looking at two aquare pegs and one round hole. I also think Mings is decent but way too much is being made of him at the moment , hes big and strong , a great leader , but is also prone to glaring mistakes. Id have him in because Torres is out of form but he isnt the difference between 3rd and 6th.
Mings ( unfortunate illness) and Kamara can make a difference in these types of games. It’s 0-1 or 1-1 with Mings there. A mistake to bring off kamara and Duran ( no midweek game) However in Emery we trust. Incredible strides over the last few years( and we did play in the Champions League midweek and won)

Villa and Forest are English giants. The modern league is slowly finding that out 🔥
From a Forest fan, really enjoyed your video. Well done. Hope the Villa finnish one spot behind Forest .😄
im a forest fan i love your videos alot man unlucky today cant wait for your next one also ur fans brilliant today
I'm a Forest fan but I do like villa. Great video. Subscribed.
Two of the best clubs outside the ‘big ego’ clubs. Best of England.

100% - real clubs
Not big ego clubs, plastic clubs

The difference was that Forest's substitutions impacted the game, whereas ours actually weakened us. The way we concede goals is highly concerning. Think we'll end up mid table because of this weakness.
We felt it in the ground as home fans. I was buzzing you took Duran off and that midfielder who bossed it towards the end.
Pretty much bang on with that comment chap. Where we are so different this year is that we have a strong bench. Added to the fact we do no have your schedule our whole squad is always hungry and ready.
Forest fan here, great video, glad you enjoyed the Christmas market more than the game!
I was there yesterday, I am gutted we lost that. Having seen it back, how was that not a penalty? We actually drank at a place called The Navigation just down the road from The Nest. It had a huge fanzone out the back. Villa and Forest fans mixing and no problems, great place.
We dont mind the Villa, good luck rest of season.
Also, why was it not a free kick to Forest 3 seconds before ?
Why’d we sub off Kamara? And Duran? They’d been doing amazing the whole game Especially Kamara… 🤦♂️👀
Oh and that guy in the back is killing me 😂 8:15
Duran was on a booking and he’s too ruthless and he didn’t want to risk anything
Another Forest fan here. Don't normally watch oppo fans vlogs, but gave yours a go. Glad I did. Top vlog, very fair and balanced. Will check a few more out.
Always nice to hear away fans appreciating the City Ground
I'll always appreciate that even through disappointment and defeat, you'll still make thoroughly entertaining content for us, Max. Let's take it to City next week! UTV!
Great content as usual max. Was watching Nunos post match interview saying he will be giving the team a extra day off because of how hard they have worked ready to prepare for Brentford and go again. Some of our support need to realise physically and mentally having to play elite teams mid week and travelling and finding the same energy levels to go again against team's well rested who have also heavily invested was never going to be easy and how hard our team and management are working.
Having a winning mentality is born not made. Can you imagine Roy Keane taking his foot off the gas in the last 10 minutes of a game.
I know we got robbed on the pen that 2nd Forest goal probably shouldn’t have stood but we should’ve seen that out anyway. I think Duran has to start playing more minutes as does Kamara and Villa need to maintain control / kill these games off
You would think after the VAR call we would lift our heads but no defence is shocking
Forest and Notts have a good working relationship and away fans can use the Nest
Of course County let 'any' fans use the Nest. They're making more money in there than when they're at home 😀
I’m a forest fan love the vids been watching for years class fan hope we carry on like this and you lot go win champions league 😂🎉
You lot really remind me of us two years ago when we finished 7th. Always had a soft spot for Forest, we were both kings of Europe back in the day, hopefully we're both back there together next season. 💜🤝❤️

Forest winner was a foul on Cash but Konsa can not be playing him the ball there under so much pressure. Need a big performance against City next game. uTv
Mings and Konsa in the centre are needed asap. We’ve lost some stupid games - had we have won them we’d be at least 2nd! Something isn’t right at the moment and it needs to change….quickly! This time last year, teams feared us, they don’t now! Fingers crossed it clicks again soon! UTV
I don’t think we can have any complaints there, They were just better than us both in attack and defence.
One thing that bothers me is that every time we have an opportunity to put a marker down, we bottle it, examples, chance to go top last season, 3 chances to clinch top 4 last season without relying on others teams, chance to jump into top 4 yesterday ! We just don’t have the minerals for it.
Next 2 games, City and Newcastle
wish he would stop messing about with defence. can he not work out konza is not a right back and when he took digne off we were weaker at back. great vid again max UTV
Great video from a Forest Fan who doesn't live too far from that little station! Two coaches the norm around the East Midlands on local services. A great match.
68k subscribers wow. Enjoyed your vid bud. All the best for the season.
Forest fan here thanks for a great unbiased review and hope you enjoyed the rest of the day and good luck
forest fan here, great video and i love the comments about our city and ground i echo that about your ground and city, proper fan, good luck for the season and keep sharing the great content.
VAR, pointless! Not renewing my season ticket next season! First half was a borefest,a light training session.Its not just the penalty decision,we were weak,forest just out muscled us of the ball,Ref was useless. Unai same old answers,process,focus ect.In game management was poor,too many subs! Well done forest,never gave up!
What football is about forget the big 6 clubs
Very dissapointing, how we threw this game away. Gutted.
That Notts County fan zone Is the best ever shame Notts County are not in a higher league but it’s amazing I watched all of Englands
Euros back in the summer that place reminds me of box park Wembley best one in Nottingham
Great video from a Forest fan here in peace. Genuinely think both our set of fans feel the same about each other, weirdly. Lots of mutual respect. Game was on a knife edge and thought we'd lost when Duran scored as you were set up so well out of possession. Football has other ideas and on another day, it's a foul on Cash in the build up for the winner.
Good luck for the rest of the season and hopefully we're both in similar positions for the reverse
Hey mate, forest fan here. I've known of ur channel since u did the Redditch vs Ilkeston game (Ilkeston my local side) & I have no bad words about you/your channel always very insightful & class. What Unai has done for you is mental, wishing you nothing the best going forward pal. Have a class crimbo and new years.
Forest fan here. Up in block M, it's clear that Cash wants to be a midfielder. He left massove gaps that CHO exploited.
Thanks for sharing and being so positive about our old ground! I've always thought it'd be a great away day
Fair play to Forest. But i felt the same as you max, utterly furious at full time. So angry.
Another Forest fan here, and like the others have said, I really enjoyed this video. Really great quality content and commentary, and appreciate the lovely comments about our great city and club. Good luck for the rest of the season, always liked the Villa.
Always look forward to seeing your vlogs whenever we beat ya, always great angles and opinions etc. You also always catch the opposition goal celebrations, and never cut that stuff out. Top class 🤝
Great video pal, you lot made some bloody noise thats for sure - I was in the upper stand with you lot below. Good luck further into Europe. Happy Christmas to all of you Villans.
Forest fan here thanks for your kind words about our city
The guy behind you during half time 😂😂😂
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
It was a fantastic game, you guys played really well, that first goal was stunning
"why are there only 2 carriages on the train .. people talking about politics and Margaret Thatcher on the train, can't be doing with that"
😆 Did you mean that as an ironic joke?
Forest Fan here. Great win for us against a very good team. Always had a soft spot for Villa. Hope you are up there with us at the end of the season. Great video by the way, thanks for the nice comments about the club and Nottingham.
A lot of mutual respect between Forest and Villa fans. Good to see. All the best for the rest of the season from a Forest fan 🌳
dust ourselves off, we go again UTV
Forest fan here. Great vlogger! Excellent video.
Best wishes for Villa for the future...👌🏻
Agreed about the subs. Forest's affected the game ours didn't. In the cold light of day we probably made our substitutions too late as the team were tiring. Always the same with the Villa!
Nice blog mate, all the best in Europe this season 👏
Little Tommy got it right!!!! Good video!!!
Just come across your channel bro. Great content and footage from the game. Gotta say massive respect for the kind words mate. And The Sadpies are skint and stolen our idea. We have a couple of fanzones but unfortunately both are for Forest fans only. Like you've said we are two European giants and it's nice to be playing each other again. Got alot of respect for Villa and their fans I have a couple of friends who are villains so we're pretty much brothers in arms.
Tbh I would've taken a point before a ball was kicked. You was spot on about the game when we scored and offside I did think here we go again VAR had done us over and like you said the warning signs were there. But last year we would've folded and lost the game but the togetherness we have atm is never say die. When we equalised, I was waiting for the whistle then 7 minutes came up and we went for it. Sorry for you guys because I thought a point was the fair result but to take all 3 is absolutely madness and my wife's team beating Shity aswel made this weekend amazing good luck for the season bro
🔴🌳🇵🇪⭐KTRFFH⭐🇦🇹
Forest fan in peace. Class video mate loved that, seen a couple of yours before and they're up there as some of the best in the genre. Very fair and gracious comments.
FWIW if the shoe was on the other foot my head would have been on mars for the Rogers penalty incident!!(as it was for the Elanga offside which was equally as bizarre) He has to at least be sent to the screen there so have another look and decide for himself if Anderson was fouled before - but the actual incident in isolation was defo a pen for me on every day of the week. Not a foul on Cash for me either, its a bit aggressive but he needs to be so much stronger and composed there. He just didn't want the ball there but Anderson did - and got it!
As you say though, you still managed to get your noses in front and were in control without needing the penalty, so you've got to manage the game better - especially against our lads who are grabbing every point by the scruff of the neck at the moment and showing huge desire and energy. You looked jaded in the last 20 minutes and badly missing Douglas Luiz who would have been that powerful presence to impose a bit of calm and control of the game.
Great to see Villa making big noises in the Champions League and hope you're up there again - with us not far behind! Nature is healing!
There’s something going on behind the scenes at villa don’t sub Duran ffs and kamara we need to spend in Jan because if we don’t and get the defense sorted I wouldn’t fancy emerys chances at villa his players are letting him down so get tough with them I’d be off my fooking head if I was the manager
As a Forest fan I would say the Villa fans took this bitter loss quite stylish. He had a bunch of such loss last season, and it's hard not to be furious from time to time. I wouldn't objected too much if Villa got a spot kick, it was a highly questionable decision to let that one go. The tackle before the last goal was tough, but as a former ref I would also say it was fair enough. Anderson is just using his body, no arms or legs to steal the ball.
Thumbs up and a happy Christmas for you Villa-guys, hope you continue to rock on in CL.
Forest fan here. The result helps, but great video. Really well done.
Forest fan. Love this channel-great Vlog as always. We were owed some decisions after the shockers we have had from VAR over the years. Good luck in CL!
I'm still angry after those last few minutes. We keep giving the ball away in stupid areas. It was a foul on Cash 100% but shouldn't be playing it to him there. A few seconds earlier we did the same thing. What are VAR doing by the way? I believe that some backhanders are been given out there. A full explanation should be given at the time and the crowd should hear it over the loudspeakers. So corrupt! Changes need to be made for the sake of the game-I am sick of it! Very poor defending also and Carlos is such a liability. UTV
Forest Fan here. Great VLOG. Great fans. Best team I’ve seen at the City Ground this year. Classic chess game.
Obviously glad Forest took the points but I think there’s a genuine respect between Forest and Villa fans which is great to see. Two great clubs, great grounds, great sets of fans. Honestly wish Villa nothing but success, got a real soft spot for them.
Forest season card holder. A strange game. Dire first-half and then a tremendous, unexpected climax to the game. Even VAR couldn't save you. It's a cruel game sometimes. Terrific video.
Same thoughts, really really frustrating :-) story of the season in the Premier League, we keep allowing teams in and giving away cheap goals unfortunately. If Ty plays we come away with something. Its not teams killing us either, prior to the game i did think forest would win 2-1 but as we played relatively well during the match and took the lead, I thought great we're actually going to get something. But yep certainly sets us back again. Its just we could be quite comfortably in the top 4 positions by now. Is that 10 points we've dropped from winning positions! Oh well. If we beat city 5-1 or something daft like that we'll all be able to move on lol!
Just to add to Jamie's comments below. A really enjoyable video from a true football fan. many thanks for the kind comments on our City and football club.
After the dissalowed goal i just got that feeling it was going to happen again cayse you saw how forest was pressing after that. Total madness...
Soon as the equaliser was scored, could see exactly what was guna happen, no urgency, slow play, gutted, not sure the players knew the formation, wether 3 at bk or 4, konsa defo looked rb, that right of a 3 , go again, utv lion
No comment on another blatant pen being ignored (as at Liverpool)? If Rogers had been garroted, would the ref have booked him for simulation?
Rogers almost tore the shirt off Anderson beforehand and wasn't called a foul, It's convenient how you don't mention that?
@johnperry2560 Touché 😉
It wasn't a pen though as he pulled his shirt first. Pretty clear on the replay.
@@ab8jeh Fair enough
A Forest fan here, a top game yesterday!. Me the Mrs and my 8 year old son were at the City Ground. Ollie my lad plays grassroots football and just loves football!. We spoken about the history of Villa Park and it’s on his list to visit, and mine!. A great club, up the Villa!.🌳💪
Shambolic defence.
Didn't understand the late substitution of Kamara.
This team will not be really good until we have a top defence. Still way short of good defenders.
Inconsistent Villa march on.
Great vid , loved it , forest fan . But good luck for the rest of the season
Forest fan to go to Villa Matches when I was in the Army in the 1970's and stationed in Worcester and visited Birmingham Markets with the family. Lovely City.
Got to wake up. Not playing well, and I'm struggling to see ya get much next three games. Players mistakes costing us - yes great save Martinez but then he does a nyland. Made regular mistakes now over last month. Worst minute of football from a professional player in Matt Cash. Argument for a foul, but he lost possession twice prior to that by waiting for the ball to arrive to him. Very very poor.
I was on a domestic flight in Australia for the whole game and the wifi cut out at half time and I’m so glad it did what a capitulation
Great content as usual bud but a huge collapse in the final 10 mins! 😢 esp as emi did that world class save and VAR saved us initially.
East Midlands Trains are AWFUL! Always two carriages! And usually late! Rant rant rant....
That John Duran song is class! Hope you enjoyed your visit (other than the result) and hope you smash Europe👍👍
Instead of watching Villa or premier league football yesterday i went to watch Walsall vs Barrow.
It was raw, entertaining and there was no fannying about from the players the ref or from either bench. Also, of course there was no VAR.
But for me the biggest thing i noticed was how much more the ball was in play during the 90 mins compared to a premier league game.
I'm kind of done with the circus now.
The straw that has broke the camels back for me is the Champions League officiating, it just looks corrupt.
Anyway rant over, good vlog max.
Keep up the good work and i may be following Villa via you from now on whilst i get my football fix elsewhere........
Nottingham resident villa fan here, hiding my disappointment about the result in a bar of forest fans wasn’t fun but love the video Max! 😊
Torres isn’t the same defender this season, there is no solid partner with him, something sint right,,, but that was a blatant penalty,
As for nxt week against city let’s see if we can turn it on like last season
Up the villa
TBH I don't think we did much wrong not to get 3pts & a couple goals, as Forest didn't really turn up until we scored. Forest reacted to our goal, we didn't react to the warning of the disallowed goal, they're a very organised team & playing decent. Could've & should've had a pen for the pull on Rogers imo, also 100% a foul on Cash to get the ball back for the winner, however VAR are never going to get involved :(
Why do VAR work against us? If it's not giving us a penalty, or they say it's offside, then it'll be offside to the opposition but they never give it offside. Someone up there don't like us.
Yup. IMAGINE if these decisions went against Liverpool or Arsenal… lawsuit threats galore 😂
Another forest fan here, great vlog mate. Villa are a proper club, good luck for the season. Subscribed.
Forest fan here - top video and thanks for your top comments
When that happens in the last 2-3 minutes it is just embarrassing. Especially when the team is visiting . Those points are precious in a hostile stadium. Lack of concentration and no gonads, no "huevos... no cojones"
Was always going to be tricky , they are a good side , frustrating that we got the "moment" with Emis save followed by Durans goal , that should have been game over as it looked to be a one goal game. Gotta admire the way Forest went into the deep water , we look leggy late on and Champions League is taking its toll. I feel sorry for Watkins , hes done so well for us but the new kid on the block just looks better in every department and i think Ollie probably knows it , his body language says it all, might be worth cashing in now as i think in 12 months time the price will be far less. I think if he goes he will get goals elsewhere , its just right now we are looking at two aquare pegs and one round hole. I also think Mings is decent but way too much is being made of him at the moment , hes big and strong , a great leader , but is also prone to glaring mistakes. Id have him in because Torres is out of form but he isnt the difference between 3rd and 6th.
👀👀👀👀 I’m happy we are same discussion as Aston Villa… great fans base as usual & hope you do well in the CL 🔥
Forest fan here enjoyed the video. All the best to VIlla apart from against us
Didn't realise that Notts County put on the away fan zone, glad that they're also getting to profit from Forest's recent success!
Got respect for Villa Forest fan here great to see two midlands clubs European cup winners in top ten 👊👍
Had to wait a few days to watch this great production
Poor substitutions by emery making changes for the sake of changes, players and coach need to address the problems asap
Mings ( unfortunate illness) and Kamara can make a difference in these types of games. It’s 0-1 or 1-1 with Mings there. A mistake to bring off kamara and Duran ( no midweek game)
However in Emery we trust. Incredible strides over the last few years( and we did play in the Champions League midweek and won)
Great video mate , honest and fair vlog, all the best for the season, keep upsetting the cartel 6, forest fan
