    One thing I've noticed is I never see Villa shirts for sale anywhere outside of Birmingham. Not in Sports Direct, other sports stores. I don't even see Villa knockoffs in the markets. This is where people might say "well its only the CL clubs you see in stores". Not true. I've seen West Ham, Newcastle kits all over. Also, when I'm abroad, and I'm all over the place, I never see people wearing Villa shirts. The few times I have, it's been British Villa fans because I will always say UTV or whatever to someone if I see them. The point I'm making is our brand is non-existent. We have to improve this massively and this farce with the kits and the badge is torpedoing what attempts we've made, if any, of doing this.

    Absolutely this. No-one cares and it does nothing for the brand. It clogs up the badge with unnecessary info which most modern badges rightly avoid. All that needs to be on the badge, whatever its design is the lion and "Aston Villa".

    Ditch the 1874 and the star, make the name bigger and this would be pretty good.

    What approach? I didnt mention one.

    Watching the highlights again, the United #5 Auston Trusty just gives up tracking back for the opening goal, likely assuming Ollie had scored. There a million reasons why you should never do that. This allows McGinn to just waltz in and score a tap in. The manager should absolutely savage him for that.

    I obviously wasnt referring to the fans. "Our job as a team" means the players and coaching staff. You know, the team. It's a head coaches job to get results. But he cant control what a player does when he goes onto the pitch. Sooner or later, a player has to start playing well and he can only do that himself.

    It's not true. Did Collymore ever regain his form after leaving Liverpool? Did Torres? Hazard? Diego Costa? Kaka? It's a stupid cliche with little substance. Your class is only as good as your form. A better expression would just be "players come into and lose form".

    It's amazing how much swag he has. Everytime he gets the ball it's like he thinks he can do anything he likes and for the most, is doing exactly that. It's also crazy how teams are STILL letting him cut in and use that left foot to shoot across the goal. It's like Robben, you know its coming but its hard to stop.

    Did I say that? He can get minutes at the end of games, preferably ones we're winning nicely. Hopefully he comes good again. I hate the "form is temporary, class is permanent" cliche. It's categorically bullshit too. Sometimes players never get their form back at all or at the club they're at. The fact he's our record signing is irrelevant.
  10. R.Bear
    He's had about 10 games to get firing. Our job as a team isnt to placate players to get them back into form, they need to do it themselves. We have to pick players who are going to make a difference. Atm, he is not that.
  11. R.Bear
    You could make a very good, maybe even watertight, case that he our most important player.
  12. R.Bear
    They were complete shite and played into our hands but there are no negatives tonight. Great win, great performance and important to see some out of form players have good games.
  13. R.Bear
    Confidence and form have completely left him. Should only be used, like today, in games we have already won. I don't want him near a game where we need a goal atm.

    Come on Diaby ffs. If you cant fill your boots here, you never will.

    Imagine they’ll get a talking to at HT and they will tighten up to avoid further embarrassment

    The FA Cup has definitely lost its magic. These plucky lower league teams rarely cause giant killings anymore. Still, at least their fans have gotten a good day out and seen a top team in action.

    Best assist in Villa PL history? Show me a better one.

    The amount of grassless parts of the pitch makes it look like a 90s PL game. They probably don't even have grow lights. What a tinpot club.
  20. R.Bear
    The Villa record PL win of 7-1 against Wimbledon in 1995 could and should be broken here.

    Wow. This is insane. Liverpool 7-2 vibes.
  23. R.Bear
    This is just the third time Villa have been 3-0 up in the opening 20 minutes of a Premier League game after August 2003 against Leicester and October 2022 against Brentford.

    How the **** did we scrape a draw with these words removed at home?
