Theres no way hed of gone anyway. Imagine his (rightful) paranoia

But he wasnt good enough for England when he was with us. Make it make sense beaky

I sincerely hope Gerrard’s latest talks with JM have been to tell him he’s coming out the side but I fear he will persist. We really cant be waiting on anyone to play themselves into form right now, feels like we’ve been waiting a full 2 seasons in McGinn’s case. Its becoming self sabotage. “He’ll come and get back to his real strong best. I think out of possession he’s been outstanding for us but he’s just trying a little bit too hard. “We’ve spoken to him about it and I have no doubts that he’ll be fine. He’s been fine in certain games and in certain moments this season.” https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-mcginn-coutinho-gerrard-25030338

Ozzy

Sheriff are massive and he’s lucky to share the pitch with such a club. I mean they beat the CL winners in their own backyard last season.

Maguire United form instantly improved the day he was dropped. Just a 2-1 home defeat to Brighton and a 4-0 spanking at Brentford when he did play. He does play well and kneeslide against San Marino though so fair to keep him in

Chinese representative here says Russia & China respect each others borders which is why its important to maintain friendly relations (ironic, huh) China’s position is to call for an end to the war, and that other than Ukraine, they are losing out most because of the conflict. Warns that the more Russia are pushed back and suffer defeats on the battleground, the more likely they are to escalate. She asks if they recognise it as an invasion, says no leave that to the historians, and then she says China withdrawing support to Russia will bring an end to the war, which he refutes and claims China supports both Russia and Ukraine. Ive Really learned a lot about how this messed up world really works the last few years

Schoolkids and for a laugh id imagine ?

Felix Magath was pretty underwhelming at Fulham having won the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg

No way id want him back. After that Euros, I felt Villa were at a crossroads to either kick on massively or go backwards. As much as it might have been unfair on him, it was all inextricably linked to him staying and pushing us on toward europe. He would have been sat down and told as much, the owners knew his worth to the extent they offered to double his wages a year after already making him the highest paid player in the clubs history. I just feel someone who properly loved his club and had the responsibility of captaining the club of your bloodline would take that challenge on and back themselves to do it. He didnt, he went for £300k a week, £10m signing on bonus, tap in trophies and CL football, and to grow his brand with an enemy club. Thats his character, watching him celebrate goals against Villa and feeling sick when Villa are winning in that documentary is enough for me. Relinquishing being the captain of Villa is unforgivable. The results we had in 20/21 before and after his injury showed we could compete with the best and werent far off. Another year of investment would have had us at MON years levels imo but he didnt back himself or us and used his sneaky release clause to bail. Taking him back at the end of his career would be a joke, he degraded and belittled this club and upset a lot of the same people that backed him through all his shite; ultimately he saw himself bigger than the club we’d look like simps taking him back because it suits him at the time.
