    Yeah a huge miss. Doug just has so much more workload and it's taken its toll.

    Unai Emery

    sharkyvilla replied to PeterSw's topic in Villa Talk

    Yeah if we get wins against Brentford and Lille by being able to put our first choice team out and Utd drop more points against Liverpool then it just further highlights Unai's genius decision making.

    They had 28 shots against them, more often than not you're going to concede at least 3. They got away with it vs Brentford somehow but got what they deserved last night.

    Tbh I think it's alright. Ignoring the oil teams for a moment, it seems daft that we can be debt free, selling out games every week and on the verge of qualifying for the Champions League and yet may have to look to sell a big name player just to comply with the current rules. If owners can give cash to the FA, they then confirm it's kosher then give it back minus say, 20% tax which gets distributed out, then I think it's a bit fairer.

    It feels like my life flashes by so quickly these days and yet this Premier League run in seems to be taking an eternity. I just want it all to be mathematically certain (yes I know it's extremely unlikely Utd can catch us). A draw or Chelsea win tonight would at least be another step on the way so come on you cockney clearings in the woods.

    Just keep Moreno and Digne for another year. We know their qualities and character, we can rotate without dipping in quality, assuming Moreno gets back into his rhythm. If we qualify for the Champions League I don't think I'd sell any of our regular players, as a reward for their efforts as much as anything. I'd put my money towards one of the best defensive midfield prospects as back up for Kamara and probably a quality right back/wing back option.

    It's perfect. Such a shame.

    Absolute game changer, cheers mate!

    Really, very few of the players in world football that have gone for over £100m have proved to be worth the money.

    I've only recently started playing computer games again and mainly EAFC, I just find it so hard to deal with the same move every time, they run to the byline, cut inside, pass it and it's impossible to stop the player from shooting, with it almost inevitable it goes in with the top strikers. I'm OK playing against people who seem to make it like a football match and try different moves but some people just do the same thing over and over again and it becomes pointless.

    This season I've seen plenty of occasions where I'm shouting at the TV at Watkins and Bailey to react more strongly to challenges which should be free kicks, even penalties. Even that challenge by Mee on Bailey could've been a leg-breaker but Leon just tried carrying on and luckily we had VAR to step in. Obviously none of us want to see players taking the piss play-acting but when it's a genuine foul you sometimes have to make it obvious to the ref otherwise they bottle it. I'm sure if Martinez was an outfield player, the opposition would be getting a shitload more yellows and reds.

    I seem to remember him doing it with Haaland before, who didn't quite take it as passively as Jack. I'll be the first to say it, hopefully it means the return of Jack to us is a bit closer.

    It limits his audience a fair bit and he can't just win the election with his cult members. It's why I still can't see him winning again whatever the polls say.

    Similar thing happened to me at a pub once but luckily I'd been to the bank earlier and had my paying-in book in my pocket.

    I still can't tell which part of Toney's body they measured the offside from. It looks like his hand to me but it's so hard to see the vertical lines sometimes.
  17. sharkyvilla
    I think the commentator said its the most touches a team has conceded in their own area in a match since the Agueroooooo game.
  18. sharkyvilla
    The first 2 were spent bandaging up Dalot's bonce then 2 goals were scored, seemed fair enough.
  19. sharkyvilla
    That looked like they used Toney's hand for his line to me?

    It's how City converted the Commonwealth Games stadium from athletics too but it was easier when the stands are so far back whereas we have no room. The Nou Camp didn't have a running track but still had stands far enough back to add about half a tier's worth of seats, having extended upwards about a decade earlier. We just need to build the North Stand, use all that land behind it wisely and get the longer platforms the council have promised. The longer they take the more expensive it will get.

    I'm trying to think who else they might go for, they may actually end up with Gerrard until Alonso decides to move on. I'd love it.

    I think it's about £21k a year

    I wondered a while ago whether they could build an athletics stadium at Villa Park and build a purpose-built 60k stadium at Alexander Stadium. Apparently there would still be issues with transport links though.

    Science, and specifically the bloke in this video

    I'm not sure who would be in the market for Ramsey anyway. If we qualify for the Champions League I doubt he'd want to go somewhere else either.
