Haha I love how clearly the Brummie comes through "In 1982" 

I know some (most, if not everyone) think my transfer hopes are delusional, but the world's most reluctant Reggae Boy may indeed become a...Reggae Boy

Bayer Leverkusen forward Leon Bailey is expected to represent Jamaica at the upcoming Concacaf Gold Cup as the long dispute with the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) seems to have come to an end.

The 22-year-old Bailey had previously turned down numerous invitations to represent the Reggae Boyz, the most recent coming in October of last year.  On that occasion Bailey had agreed to play against Bonaire but later refused after his adopted brother Kyle Butler was not invited to the squad.

According to both parties, however, the impasse seems to be at an end with the player potentially making his debut against the United States in an upcoming friendly international.

“Chris Samuda worked hard with some things and the minister has also given her support. We love our country and we want to play for our country,” Bailey’s agent and guardian Craig Butler said.

President of the JFF Michael Ricketts also confirmed that the long dispute between the parties is now resolved.

“Leon Bailey will be called because the coach and I have had discussions recently, and he will be invited both for the friendly in the U.S. and also for the Gold Cup tournament,” Ricketts said.

“I think that coach (Donovan) Duckie has interest for the brother (Kyle) for the Olympic squad because he did indicate to me that he has an interest in inviting him for the Olympic squad,” Ricketts added.

“We are looking forward to having them here, and we just hope that we will be able to put the past behind us and just restart the whole thing of just having him (Bailey) in the national set-up.”

So, I think my hopes of one day (soon) seeing him in our Claret & Blue colours should not be ridiculed.

A woman I work with sometimes calls him Grea-Lush 

So there you go, he's being objectified.

And opponents say Grealish dives! This one was blatant and if anything, people seemed happy about it.

Now he's having a chat with our current captain

My toes and fingers are crossed that we can keep him and Mings, I think they have a very good chance of building on the good work they've already done together to become a legendary partnership.

I'm going to be disappointed next season that were not sponsored by Cadbury.

Barton was very much an integral part of Ron's success....Like Clough & Taylor.

Tony helped build what Ron presided over so,I feel he had his just rewards and if the players felt he was an imposter, they would never have played with that intensity in the Euro cup Ron.

For what it's worth, I share your opinion.

I don't think it's a co-incidence that his entire head is shaped and angled to make it appear he is wearing a Spartan helmet.

 

Another reason for @VILLAMARV to love him.

Unless he changes his avatar and breaks the connection.

Kept his head tremendously against Leeds and was the best player on the pitch in an environment many may have assumed he'd lose his cool.

With today's game and how he conducted himself at the sty, the signs are good. 

Plus, as I've said before, he has great hair.

If there's a Cadbury connection could we see a reappearance of chocolate brown?

Clap your hands if you love McGinn...

I'd say G.Ramsay, R.Saunders, T.Barton (But a debate to whether he just kept the boat steady from Saunders work could be had I suppose), G.Taylor and even M.O'Neill are names I would also bring up when thinking of Villa's greatest managers but D.Smith is certainly up there in my opinion. He's a record breaker. 

He's got great hair as well

I can only imagine the conversation here.

Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father

This film is a true tragedy  It will stay with me.

The full film is on Youtube and the trailer reveals a lot if you want to watch it without knowing anything (although you may know of the case)

I recommend watching it but it is a sad one and that's a huge understatement. 

A couple of great saves today, put in a vital first-half performance.

As a few others have said, he was out celebrating at the end and didn't seem to be moving too gingerly.

Think it was a dead arm and was taken off as a precaution but also to give Davis a go once Abraham got his goal.

And as others have said he was shaking hands with people so his dead arm seemed to have been resurrected, which is two days early but apt for this weekend.

Cut to a news report he's suffered a quadruple fracture and is out for ten years.
