  1. If that's not a penalty, why do defenders bother tucking their arms behind the body? If that doesn't constitute handball, why don't defenders make themselves bigger by having their arms out whilst pointing?
  2. Is she a brunettie or a...? The Daz is low or ...?
  3. No. The club give you 80% of the 1/19th of the season ticket cost and only if they can resell it on for the match day price, which is obviously higher than season ticket average game cost. For category A games, it's near 100% profit increase for the club. I've no issue with the club making an increased profit by reselling at the higher match day price, but I think the ST holder should get the full value of the ticket (ST cost/19), even if the refund was limited to say 3 matches per season before the 20% charge was triggered. This would prevent people buying STs just for a few games, knowing they'd get a full refund for all the other games.
  4. What was the score? It's great to read some match detail but it can lack some context without a scoreline.

    Unai Emery

    It definitely happened immediately after Forest's joke of a cross field pass, so it's hard to think it wasn't linked. Could be that Digne shouted something like 'These are ****'. Emery didn't like his lack of respect for the opposition, knowing it could lead to Villa players taking it easier and Forest players increasing their efforts to prove Digne's comment wrong. Not sure how that links to Digne's "When? When?" and smirk though. Whatever happened, it obviously wasn't a major issue, as Emery still felt able to call on Digne for his 35 minutes substitute appearance.
  6. I think most insurers are capitalising on the news that car insurance has 'gone through the roof' and hoping existing customers begrudgingly accept profiteering increases. This month my renewal quote from LV was £920, up from last year's £560 and an increase of 64%. I've cancelled the renewal and moved to Aviva with a near identical '5 star' policy. The cost, after a bit of cashback, was £540; a saving of £20 on last year's deal and a massive £380 cheaper than LV's renewal quote. Customer loyalty certainly does not pay!
  7. Mate, last night's loss was proppa proppa. Mate, it was a proppa defeat to a proppa relegation candidate and without any help from them lot up the road. Mate, mate, matey mate.
  8. Born in Selly Oak and lived in Northfield and Selly Oak suburbs of Birmingham until age 22, so around 6 miles or 10km from Villa Park, as the crow flies. Last 32 years spent just south of the Lickey Hills so 12 miles or 20km. Fortunately the extra distance is soon travelled using the M5, so I'm still home in an hour after the final whistle.
  9. In case some of the younger VTers are thinking 'Yeah but that was two lifetimes ago, a £500 bonus is probably tens of thousands in 'today's money' ', after accounting for UK inflation, £500 in 1981 is now worth £1845. That's probably just 2% of the average weekly wage of a Premier League starting player!
  10. I believe it was recently mentioned this is being completed in the summer.
  11. Ideally it would be sold out but not rammed.
  12. Is this even confirmed or could it be a way of - Increasing interest - with the new season approaching; Raising Hamilton's profile even further; Kicking Mercedes up the backside to increase their performance; Detrimental impact to a competitor team as Ferrari end up being 'snubbed'. Just wondering, at least until confirmation.
  13. Mercedes paying the world's most expensive gardening leave?!
  14. Hamilton off to Ferrari in 2025 would be a surprise, wouldn't it?
