  1. Do you honestly think 29 follower Jorge del Pedro knows? I know you’ve posted to open up debate about the need to sign both, but I think Villa is pretty air tight. People do not know our intentions. Things seem to get leaked at the other end. To say that villa number 1 target, backup etc. It’s all guesswork. Leon Bailey would be a great addition. I agree that I think we need AM and Wide forward, ideally one of those who’s versatile to offer Ollie competition.
  2. It’ll just spill other into other threads. Got to give the people the avenue to vent. Even if it’s unhealthy. It’s just fretting. I’m guilty, said I’ve give it a rest today. Refreshing this thread all day at work.
  3. If any doubt to Sam Lee motivations, losing the traction he had earlier, and revelling in the trending traction he had gained, one last tweet before bedtime to plug his Jack perfect fit for City article. At least I can sleep well knowing that Gregg Evans will defend the honour of Aston Villa come the morning.
  4. Thanks for the insight! Of course, he was trending after this 'meltdown'.
  5. Yes, actually lived on Kingsland Rd too. Before moving up north. Grandparents lived on Cooksey Lane. Fond memories of those playing fields in the 90's.
  6. Not to credit or discredit Fairy in Boots, they posted just as compelling and detailed stories last season.
  7. If this goes down it will be biggest heel turn since Stone Cold 2001 run.
  8. I should leave the politics for another thread. As I said. Searching for club identity. It’s empty. Ownership could have chosen any club in a major European city to carry out its sportswashing. The exact same process with the same results. An identity based on beating United. Cute, so pre2008. Also, in a twist of irony, what do you think attracted the ownership to City? Could it be the fact that United gave so much weight to Manchester as a city with footballing heritage. ADUG hollowed out the club, filled with best worldwide talent money could buy in every dept. Very little remained. Then cooked the books for the next decade. Disregarded the silly rules that others must follow and laughed. If Jack goes, he takes the easy route. Winner. Ha. 1 trophy in Aston in worth 100 in Manchester.
  9. They seem to think we were at Bristol Rovers levels before 2011, Not remembering we used to beat them regularly in our yoyo twilight zone years and that Villa park was less than half full for an FA cup tie when we took 5,000 not too long ago. and then posts like this make me feel pissed off at City fans, they don't deserve our skipper: If there's a drink problem at the club, is it would it be wise to sign Grealish? This incarnation of Manchester City was formed in 2008. As much as MK dons is Wimbledon. It isn’t a real club. It’s hollow. Tell me what roots remained? 2 or 3 mascot players? They know that too. They comfort themselves with the thought that everyone is jealous. If only your club could be owned by a emirate state in an effort to legitimise a virtual dictatorship via soft power sports ownership. If only. As a set of supporters they are desperately searching for an identity, a meaning, in this brave new era. Nothing organic, no set backs, no pain and redemption. Just a machine. A efficient machine but a machine nonetheless. Win. Sheikh smile. Win. Sheikh Smile. Win. Worst still, the leach fans begin to come out in force. Migrating from FCB, RM, United & Chelsea. Diluting what little remained of that community asset. When I talk to Manchester City fans about post 2008 City, you see the little death behind their eyes. Emotionless, blank and rehearsed. Now I mention, Goater, Dickov, the Kippax, Joe Royle, Weaver at Wembley, the fire flickers again. Passion & meaning. How does that silver taste? Was it worth your soul? Stick that up your plastic blue moon.
  10. If he has done the 'unthinkable', for sure it needs to be buried with incomings.
  11. He is also saying on reddit - "All I can say is that as of 2-3 days ago that wasn’t a concern. Also, somebody I trust has info that Grealish has been telling people he’s leaving. So just don’t sweat it and we’ll all see what happens"
  12. Could be exactly that. Develop for a couple of seasons. Sell for couple million profit to Championship club.
  13. I do not agree with premise that there is a racial angle, it is a caricature after-all. I suppose it should be judged on the content. For instance use Rashford to shame those in power by his real life actions. However, I seem to remember them shitting on Ed Sheeran in S1 with a purely ginger angle. So will not hold my breath. I do agree that they should always punch up rather than down. Make fun at those with the power. Is that not the whole point? By all accounts it a pale imitation of the original.
  14. Anyway, I see Gazzaniga has been signed by Fulham. Would have been decent experienced back-up. Don't trust Jed (sorry) to stand in.
  15. Oh wait so do spurs. Must be a Narf london thing.
  16. Yeah but then he went on to say that 'I stayed because the Arse literally have a cock and balls as a crest'.
