Brilliant.

Big thanks to VillaEire and all others putting in relevant and interesting information and thoughts about this young fella soon to be Villa player, instead of tiresome textual nonentities like "he will probably suck!!" etc. We all KNOW that the probability that Mr. Stevens wont turn out to be the next God (or even a Dunne class of player) is excessively high. That is just the way it is. Somehow, sometimes, however seldom, a player finds within himself all the right combination of personal traits and talent to become the One that really makes it all worth it, tenfolds, every acquisition that didn't quite live up to his potential. Following such a player on his tentative steps from unknown youth towards classy Villa player is one of the few reasons football is still fun and engaging. I want our players to succeed, and it's so damn fun when they do. In the meantime I enjoy all signs that Enda Stevens might just be this person, even though the chances are still very small, and all posts bringing something _about_ the player, especially positive ones, are to prefer ahead of bickering about, frankly, things that we all know already.

Albrighton (and N'Zogbia and Ireland, to mention a few others) needs a good sports psychologist/motivator badly.

Bit worried about Albrighton. Her really isn't as good friends with the ball as he used to.

I just fell in love with N'Zogbia. Wicked footwork.

Did the OS have a live text chat about the game? I didn't see one, never been a problem before.

I rather play Young than Warnock any day of the week.
