  1. Past hour
  2. That’s a really unpleasant view point to be honest. Aston Villa should absolutely re respectful of heritage and rare beauty to be found in the locality. Aston Hall and Villa Park are just about the only decent features of a deprived area, they should stand side by side. Not to mention that the park is well used by the community. The plans they had to build a new stand were fine but they’ve canned them for whatever reason. I’d also be open to a move but that doesn’t look likely either. The plan to add 3k more seats doesn’t look particularly feasible. Looks like they’re going to let Villa Park become slowly more outdated and limited. A bit like Old Trafford but without the capacity.

  4. He also allegedly put bets on Newcastle winning games after joining “Telegraph Sport can reveal that some of those bets are said to have included games Newcastle were involved in, although it is understood that the 23-year-old has never backed his own team to lose.”
  5. Tonali has until next week to respond. You could interpret the Newcastle leaks as soft pressure on the FA to not consider any further bans. I guess it comes down to the substance of the bets. It would make little sense to charge him but not enforce any punishment - unless there’s cause for big concern.
  6. For the younger members of our wonderful family and in this I would include all of us. I can't say Sid has been our greatest post war player because that would be unfair to my dad grandad, great grandad, great great grandad and great great great grandad. Such is our history, post war does It mean post WW2, WW1 the Boer war and Rorke's Drift. It means the Crimea and the charge of the light brigade. Because that's how long we've been around, some players and fans were before sevastebol. But he's in the top 3
  7. Spot on, @NurembergVillan Exactly how that should be handled. Let it die a quick death. Impossible to know the actual context. I think there should be more portraits/murals of Villa legends in and around Villa Park, so players (and younger/newer fans) can become more familiar with the faces of Aston Villa heroes. I regret not having seen Sid play. His stature at the club has been apparent all the while. When I started following Villa in 1994, 1982 seemed like ancient history. But retrospectively, it was really just around the bend of time. So I do feel connected to Sid, through you guys, and I thank you for that. And I wish the absolute best for Sid and his loved ones.

  9. That's a very nice tribute from Stan.
  10. I won't be for this very reason.
  11. I thought we could start Summer 2025 for a two year build and one year use before the Euros?
  12. Damn, he's way too young to be afflicted with dementia. What a tragedy. It's got to be particularly heartbreaking for his family and close friends. Life is just a **** dice roll.
  13. Just saw the Belgium highlights. Looked like a good game. I quite like those matte black England shirts with the retro numbers and no names. The little swath of color by the ribs seems pointless though. Good to see Tielemans bag a brace even if the goals came off bad goalkeeping and defending. Hopefully it helps him score more goals for Villa. Bowen is a pleasure to watch. I really wish we'd beaten West Ham to the punch and put him in proper claret and blue. Bellingham is the man. We should sign him when his contract is up Absolute force of nature. If Snoutgate actually drops Ollie for the Euros will Villa fans go to the games?
  14. The differences between selling routine consumer items that football fans want to purchase as part of a match-going experience on the one hand, and taking over a long-term commitment to maintaining a listed building located on the opposite side of a park from the ground and which serves no footballing purpose and is of no interest to match-day crowds on the other seem too obvious to have to expound at length.
  15. Too young to remember him in his pomp, but my Dad would regularly tell me about Sid, unbelievable footballer and by the sounds of it, a great man also. Wishing him and his family the best at a horrible time for them all.
  16. Played football with his son when I was younger, and him and my old man got quite friendly (which the old man loved, as you can imagine!) Terrible news - too young to have seen him play for us, but by all accounts a fantastic player and a lovely man
  17. I heard this news nearly two weeks ago from a good friend of mine who played with Sid. I got to know Sid quite well through my mate. Best memory was when I was at a barbecue at Kenny Swain’s place. Sid was on great form with some brilliant stories from his career! I won’t repeat them on here except one. Saunders used to put his arm around Sid and my mate on Monday mornings and ask if they were ok! Wasn’t to check if they were ok but to see if he could smell alcohol on their breath. Sid was a class act and I’ll never forget or forgive that dirty animal that done his leg. Sid and McMahon would have been some pairing that season!
  18. Yesterday
  19. Maybe as England did to highlight dementia the players could play with no names on the shirt.
  20. I think both - I think they're syncing - for the task in hand I'd rather not sync to cloud if I can, I'd just rather be able to pick an app up that knows when two photos are exactly the same. Thanks limpid sir.
  21. NUFC apparently stating, or 'leaking', they are not expecting any further punishment for Tonali, reminds me of defence lawyers who attempt to influence sentencing by stating they are not expecting any custodial sentence to exceed any time already spent on remand. I wonder if NUFC will appeal for any punishment to be concurrent and not consecutive to his current ban and will the punishment depend on a persuasive payment.
  22. Totally agree - a minutes silence isn't right, but, given he wore #10 for most of his Villa career, a massive 'there's only one Gordon Cowans' or similar is the best nod IMO.
  23. Are your photos stored in Google Photos or on the device waiting to be lost? It has automatic modes from removing junk and duplicates. (Photo Stacks)
