  1. "Nobody puts one over on Fred C. Dobbs..." Love that movie!
  2. I thought Ron looked good against Malaga, nothing more. He seemed to read things quite well against good opposition. However one season more experienced I hope he and others around him will all improve. We have a tough start to the season though so I hope we gain confidence early with some early performances and hopefully some points.
  3. I think been around the first team is great experience for Jack at the moment but hey what do I know.
  4. I like Ron Vlaar and think he's decent and can get better. You've got to be rational about his situation though considering he was new to the PL, got a nasty injury and that he had to marshal the rookies around him. Let's hope the experience of last year will result in improvement this season.
  5. Be great if Benteke can score against Spuds and we beat them. There is a good chance of that eventuality becoming a reality especially considering Bale will likely move on.
  6. Looks like this is a heart attack unfortunately and possibly related to the heat. The temperature out there is oppressive and this leads me to the World Cup situation, what a crazy idea to stage it in Qatar at the height of summer.
  7. Very sad news, looked a good player even when he was with a struggling SHA. I've been to Qatar, particularly Doha many times and car crashes are frequent unfortunately; i've seen some pretty scary things out there on the roads. R.I.P Chucho.
  8. Yeah I agree... some people eh? Good luck to wee Baz, there's a player in there somewhere he just needs to have some mental focus and grow up a little.
  9. Hutton wants too much money then...off to the Championship with you!
  10. I know people are fond of saying it's only pre-season and all about fitness but at the same time it is a confidence game. This puts pressure on all aspects and positions within the team if we are constantly worried about conceding. We cannot seem to eradicate sloppy mistakes and individual errors!
  11. Hold on..didn't we pay £18m upfront for Bent and the rest in installments and that's the reason Sunderland accepted because they needed the money?
  12. Pretty sad really when you think more about this and how Benteke has had one good season and he thinks he's better than Aston Villa. I think his antics at Genk sounded alarm bells for some here so we should have expected it really, I'm sure Lambert has learned from this in regard to future purchases.
  13. I really think it is in everybody's best interests if Benteke goes to a 'top four' side; then at least we couldn't really blame him too much. With Benteke, Spuds might have a better chance of getting into the CL but they're still outsiders in my opinion. Then, if they do not get there again next season Bale will definitely leave and so to Benteke i'd imagine. It does seem to appear as though they've tapped him considering Villa though he would sign a new deal before he left for his holiday?!?!
  14. I wonder whether the signing of a top quality attacking midfielder might still be on the cards instead of replacing Benteke?
  15. Is Webb a RB, never heard of him? Yes, he's a 17yr old RB prospect! Ok thanks. I must say that 2nd half team looks incredibly weak. Herd at CB!
  16. Is Webb a RB, never heard of him?
  17. So ungrateful...from hero to zero instantly! I hope he moves abroad but Chelsea is the likely destination, he'd be mad to join spuds or redscouse.
  18. It is real as his account is followed by other Villa players...he's also retweeted other players who we know do have genuine accounts such as Weimann and Benteke
  19. I saw the tweet from Delph last night and it does sound promising enough considering Benteke chose to retweet it. There is hope!
  20. It does make sense to ostracise Bent from the group; it's all about Aston Villa and if this necessitates a quick conclusion then so be it. We really need him off the wage bill quickly.
  21. If we keep Benteke then top ten is the least we can expect, if he improves or continues his form the maybe Europe is achievable?
  22. KEA could be a valuable player this season now he's settled as you rightly point out.
  23. I think Benteke is here for one more season; Helenius has been bought as an understudy who will hopefully learn and develop for the purpose of replacing Benteke in future.
