Is this a 'wind up' site? http://breakingfootballupdate.com/2016/08/aston-villa-considering-move-for-premier-league-veteran/3333/2 Reports are claiming Aston Villa are eyeing up a £3m move for Stoke City striker Peter Crouch.

Quoted here, as well. If Newcastle can see something in him, maybe RDM can see the same thing (that we can't) http://www.expressandstar.com/sport/aston-villa-fc/2016/07/30/roberto-di-matteo-confident-aston-villa-will-keep-ciaran-clark/

Nor an attack. Wish Ayew had been given a cheap Release Clause in his contract. Wouldn't attempt a shot and gave the ball away umpteen times.

A tweet that I understand!

http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-owner-tony-xia-11677891 The following is part of the above article:- Aston Villa owner Tony Xia has moved to explain some of his cryptic tweets from this afternoon. This Chinese businessman hit out at one of the claret and blues' rivals and encouraged supporters to boo them alongside him! Xia has now explained how the team he was referring to were not Birmingham City or Newcastle United after fans bombarded his Twitter account with questions. Gregg Evans then says:- When asked why and when they should boo, he made his point clear... I am not Twitter literate. Could someone explain how this article has explained his tweets and how "he has made his point clear"? This is not a criticism of Tony Xia or his method of communication - I just cannot understand what has been said and how it has been explained. Sorry to appear ignorant! - don't waste your time explaining, if it is not relevant to this thread.

...........or not

Another 10 pages of puns coming up...

Well, I am more of an optimist - I read it as "We need to get rid of the dead wood. We will continue to sign new players until the window closes. 3 to 4 will be signed next week, when we will inform you of their names". That sounds nice and positive. I can sleep easier tonight.

Sorry, just realised it was a sarcastic remark - and a good one at that

Snake?

I just hope that RDM has worked out which team and formation he wants to play. It's only feasible to keep swapping the players and formation for a limited time (see England:( )

http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-live-bristol-rovers-11642719 1-1 (Taylor, 78) What a brilliant goal from Taylor. He turns two defenders, races towards goal and fires past Bunn. That’s why they love him so much here.

http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-live-hepburn-murphy-11642719 Villa make six changes and the stadium announcer struggles to note them all down. Instead he commands: ‘Villa are making a change, coming on is...absolutely everyone!’ Just for clarity, Cissokho, Elphick, Gana, Gardner, Sinclair and Gestede replace Bennett, Baker, Hutton, Westwood, Tshibola, and Hepburn-Murphy.

Bristol Rovers had another Referendum!

Good Lord, I hope not! My 7 year old Grandson is going to Villa Park for the first time, v Rotherham. I'd hate for him to experience the atmospheres that we had last season

Looks a good 'Stopper' - but what's he like coming out and defending corners?

That's what he is probably referring to (am I right rodders?)

Hope we are not going to use this forum for political propoganda. I have my opinions on THAT vote but prefer to talk football (or lack of it!), whilst on VT

Do you blame them?

Do you blame them?

Harry Kane - what a waste of space! Iceland should have scored just after.

And we've got tennis to suffer, as well. The commentators make us sound good lol

Iceland - win lol

Need a plan A

Last Season's Villa team to replace the 11 on the pitch.
