I am sure he will stick around. The past week has proven the wisdom of the club having permanent staff on the payroll who can pick up the gaps between head coaches. Give him and the other perm staff a nice win bonus and a pay rise.

Oh I like this!

Still buzzing. Its a double delight to see some pundits so bitter we managed to get him.

Interesting about the corners. I wonder how their throw ins are? Anyway I wish Deano all the best. He is only 51. His management skills and career still have plenty of room to grow. I want him to do well.

I havent thought about him for a long time I was asked so i responded. I cancelled him because I think he is a nutter. You are perfectly entitled to watch if you like him. He brought up politics in his football pod not me. You think he was joking, I dont, because I saw him become unhinged before when Deano got sacked (in a now edited video he made paranoid ramblings about people believing in the government like they believe Purslow). Anyway Its a free country he can have whatever crazy views he likes. I dont like his views and I am not interested in what he is selling. I dont come in here telling others not to watch him. Villa fans have a mind of their own. Seems like a win/win all around.

It will be interesting to see what kind of player he likes. From what I can gather (please correct me if I am wrong) he has not really been at a club where he was backed to any large degree? He took over at clubs with various players and made it work. Happily here he WILL be backed. I am excited to see what additions he looks for.

Nah he knew exactly what he was doing. Anyway he is cancelled. Feel free to watch him if you like. Free country. But I wont because he is a right wing crazy.

My families religion (Episcopalian) believes abortion is a woman's right and in no way infanticide. "The 1994 resolution establishing the Episcopal Church's position gave "unequivocal opposition to any legislative, executive or judicial action on the part of local, state or national governments that abridges the right of a woman to reach an informed decision about the termination of pregnancy or that would limit the access of a woman to safe means of acting on her decision." My religion believes same sex couples are perfectly acceptable and make fine parents that the teaching of sexuality is a positive. Republicans are taking away my religious rights (and the majority of Americans) at the state level and working on federal bans. So thats what I mean. I agree about the definition of fascism btw. A fair correction. But there is no comparison between which the the more totalitarian /evil party trying to force its views on others. Its Republicans. Their dream for the USA is Putin's Russia.

dunno if this has been posted. 40 mins of emery style training session . Bloody hell he certainly is hands on. As in he is running on the pitch all the time clip board in hand directing players. very impressive.

I am utterly terrified by the mid terms. The fascist Republican party when in power will do what they have done in their states. Restrict voting rights, remove religious freedom , restrict freedom of speech, remove women's rights and of course all served with a slathering of open racism. Republicans are a clear and present danger to American Democracy. 30% of the USA electorate are open fascists who want to remove Democracy in this country. Its truly terrifying for any sane person. The USA already has an illegitimate supreme court which imposes its extremist religious beliefs on the country. Wait till Republicans seize power. They wont ever let you vote them out again. Look at how they have corrupted elections in their states. You think i am exaggerating look at all the "moderate" Republicans who deluded themselves Republicans would never REALLY do what they say and remove religious freedom and women's rights. Never REALLY commit an insurrection. Until they did it. Be scared and vote anyone but a Republican if you are a decent person. This November could be a nightmare for the overwhelming majority of Americans who just want to have Republicans leave them the hell alone.

Woudl be absolutely fine with Danjuma Obligatory crap show reel music feel free to mute.

I so agree. I have a sense of genuine relief , progress and optimism.

Re the world cup. Its why am boycotting it (its ok you dont have to!) A corrupt world cup. Simple as that. Very much looking forward to the women's world cup next year though. Now that IS something to be excited about.

Re appointing the insane/evil Braverman tells me all I need to know about Sunak. We need an election. The Tories can go and destroy themselves but the rest of the country wants to address the real issues. Conservatives are stuck in cloud cuckoo land.

More excellent work from the For the love of Paul McGrath pod. An interview with Graham Hunter. Key insights. Unai is an obsessive trainer and planner. He gives players hours of information for each game.

Yeah but to my English ears that old "lets make fun of peoples class and those who live outside of London" really doesnt sit well either. It hits a lot of old wounds related to class and regional bigotries within the UK. As someone with a fairly weird accent from a working class background its always bothered me for example. I just personally find cheap impressions of open mocking of peoples speech a bit mean spirited and not really very funny. Someone further up mentioned good impressionists basically distill someones character into an insightful pastiche of the subject. Farley just puts on a "look at the silly scouser/foreigner" accent, shouts a lot and takes cheap shots at Tyrone Mings. Anyways folks can enjoy whatever they like of course. Just my 0.2c as to why I dont like Farley.

good shout but fwiw, he signed a new contract with Galatasaray in September. Playing well apparently.

If you lot can make fish puns I can make musical ones. Bonus points if you think "Italia 90" for the first one

Oh dear, Farley. Impressionists who make a living on accents be it class, regional or ethnicity are so passé.

Its amusing seeing another Tory Primeminster talk about economic difficulties and problems while trying not to mention the cause. Brexit. The Tory disaster that dare not speak its name. They want to talk about anything but their Brexit disaster.

Long shot. Thierry Henry?

Apparently the assistant manager is "a European Cup Winner" and "knows English Football well".
