I wonder how many current managers lost to Ashley Young as players…? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 God bless Ashley but I was hoping for a big signing splashed on the official website, not Ash mentioning the 5-1 game 3 times in a minute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was probably his best goal/moment for us I know him more than he knows him The Everton goal to go 2-3 up was the most madness I've ever witnessed outside of actually being at VP. It was utterly iconic. I was sat in a bar in Scotland at Uni. The bar was totally partisan Everton with supporters of other teams who were vying for top 6 supporters (or Scots who hated Villa for no reason) except me on our table and another guy with a Laursen shirt on across the bar with his mates. Game was being shown on a massive projector screen above the bar. Pre-match I took a fair bit of heat from tables around me, when we went 0-1 up early I took even more. By the time it was 2-2 late on with their equalizer me and my sole comrade were looking for a quick exit due to the boisterousness of the general crowd in there. When young Ashley robbed that absolute frigate of a center back, cantered up the pitch and slammed it into the bottom corner, my man across the room veritably drenched a poor girl in salsa as he did his best Shamu impression over the table (these were high tables with stools) in celebration. I completely lost it. Just chucked my pint and ran around like a madman for about 30 secs. This man I have never met, we just did this odd dance in the middle of a huge group of pissed off scousers, mancs and Scots who just wanted us to lose. It was surreal, it was glorious. The game felt like a cup final even though it was just an evening Prem game. It encapsulated the drama that only the Premier League can deliver. Cold, wet, drama at that. Thanks Ash, it was one of my favorite ever games. Edited January 29, 2023 by Steero113 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went absolutely beserk chucking all the cushions around the living room, scared the shit out of the dog, good times. That Ash goal and the 4th goal in the 7-2 are the most I’ve ever cheered /celebrated / done something incredibly daft in joy ever. If I celebrated any longer I think I would have burst a blood vessel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomC Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I'm surprised that nobody else has posted about him, but I thought that this was his worst game of the season. He was caught ball-watching for both the first and second goals. Sort of like Cash the last time we were at the Emirates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he’s been great this season but a poor couple of games lately, I was thinking the same. But then, I would expect most right backs to have a bad game against that Grealish bloke, and Harvey Barnes is decent too last time out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I thought he had a bit of a torid time against grealish today and it might be time to give Cash a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvilla28 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Love Young , but we need plan ahead for a right back as Emery doesn't rate Cash like it or not has to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 Looks like he's running out of gas. I'd go with Cash next week and give Ashley a rest. Cash needs the minutes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Mad to think they played together at the top level. Young's longevity is pretty extraordinary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got fed up of the pole dancing dragon masquerading as a Lion on their crest and Boehly wants the league to know they mean business.
