  1. My guess is one of the in-house designers at the club, with someone watching over their shoulder telling them to “make it pop” or “see how the lion looks with a drop shadow”
  2. Came on to post a similar thing, Michelle Owen and Alan McInally providing some good half time content - and good to hear Jed on the comms.
  3. Haven’t read the thread but Newcastle away first game of the season is a tough game for any premier league team. 50k football starved geordies amping up their team is tough for anyone. And Newcastle have a much better team these days. You’d really want to be going to St James off the back off a couple of league wins. That being said, looks to of highlighted the problem areas within the squad. Hopefully we’ll see 3 to 4 new players coming in. It’s a lot but now Mings/Emi are out we are already dipping into our squad depth.

    I know what you mean, this is a really big loss for us - aside from being a solid defender, he’s one of the biggest leaders on and off the pitch. Not having him around will have an effect on the rest of the squad. His communication in defence is massive as seen by the games when he’s not in the team. I trust that the management will work on how to deal with this but it will be tough. Hoping it’s not as bad as feared and praying for a speedy recovery!
  5. I was at the game, great to get the win but now have to choose between England and Australia on Wednesday! Big mix of Aussies, English and Colombians - great atmosphere overall, really friendly crowd. It was all the Colombians whistling when we had the ball btw. + good to see a few Villa jerseys and scarfs knocking about
  6. Good goal, Daly gets an assist but it was all about the strike.
  7. It was indeed a good battle. What I liked most about Gnonto is that he didn’t give up and kept going back at Young. Quite a few wingers these days seem to let their heads drop when they get tackled 2/3 times. Could be a good singing under Emery & co.
  8. I think you’re missing the point. Not suggesting we copy the Juventus logo but the way they approached the rebrand: by taking it into a completely new direction with a brand that can work across multiple platforms and stay true to its origins. As I said, a brand is more than just the logo or crest and that’s what it sounds like we are going to be looking at.
  9. Interested to see where they go with this given the announcement last week. A brand is more than a crest/logo - I imagine seeing the applications of the new crest within the wider context (ie not on the shirt) either lacked execution, or differed from the global Villa vision that Heck will be looking at. The Juventus rebrand from a few years ago is a good example of really reimagining a football brand across various mediums (link). I wouldn’t be surprised (and would kind of like it) if we did something really different from the norm, move away from the crest into something completely new. It would annoy a lot of fans of course but could really set us apart from all the other clubs and badges in the league.

    This is the one. We’ve rode our luck over that time (playoffs, West Ham last day, today) but the progress is there to see. Let’s keep it going! What a day!
  11. Ceballos is actually an interesting one, could be quite a smart signing. Good pedigree - Arsenal took him on loan for a second season, plenty of time at Madrid - it’s hard to replace the likes of Modric, Kroos, etc. About to turn 27. Experience in both CL and PL. On a free too. Makes sense? Might be a replacement for Coutinho?
  12. This time last week we were going into the Chelsea game in 11th and level on points. Now we are 6th and 8 points ahead of them!? Mental.
  13. Some quality touches/movement to get him past players/out of danger. Watching on TV it’s great the reception he gets from the fans when he shows his class. Quality player
  14. The unwillingness to change, adapt and work with the team. I think he had this success with Rangers that he thought put him in an ‘I am experienced manager’ mindset. The tactics and formation he was reliant on didn’t work in the premier league but didn’t want to change. The fact he got rid of all our wide players in a league where wide players thrive (even Willian last night… ) was naive. 2x 9s and 2x 10s just doesn’t work unless you have top quality players. That and the Mings, Sanson, Guilbert situations didn’t help.
  15. It’s such a hard decision to make, we need someone who will settle the club, come with solid PL experience, get the players respect, get the fans back on side but then be able to take us from lower table to top end in the next couple of seasons. AND someone who wants to come here. Dyche could do a job, but feel like Coutinho, Emi etc would be off fairly quick and wouldn’t be able to take us to that top level. Amorim? Feel like it’d be too risky, likely a good manager with good ideas but could he get the players onboard? I could see the thinking in Gerrard but it was a big gamble, now we need as close to a ‘sure thing’ as we can get.
