  1. The thing I don’t get considering the state the club has been in for years, how anyone really expected it to turn around instantly. 16 months is pretty good to be honest when you consider where teams like Leeds and Sunderland are now. Im probably exaggerating but even the best manager in the world would of had a task to get us promoted last year.
  2. There are lots of Villa interviews with players on the AVFC YouTube channel where they ask each player ‘who is the funniest in the dressing room’. Richards name is always mentioned. So he is basically a very expensive court jester. But saying that having fun at work always improves the overall atmosphere. (I know I am clutching at any positive i can find in this case)
  3. Derby have Brentford, Norwich and Leeds next three games. They will definitely drop a few points. hopefully all going right we should be ahead of them by then.
  4. That will be a very important goal I reckon. The celebration last night when he scored is one of those moments when you start to believe we can actually do this can’t we.
  5. Definitely for me need another striker on loan. We are in such a good position now it’s not worth the risk of Hogan/Davis losing form or getting injured, and being short up front. I would take Shane Long on loan.
  6. Unfortunately then is not the time my brother. Patience. He will score but only when the numbers align and automatic promotion is a certainty. Maybe against Derby, but the prophecy is not clear. Then he will transcend only to be seen again when mankind needs him the most.
  7. Alan ‘the prophet’ Hutton, does not need a contract he plays when he wants. Contracts in the past where just for us mortals to make sense.
  8. The prophet’s goal has already be pre-written my brother. ill meet you at Sainsbury’s....
  9. I have seen the prophecy If ever we found ourselves in a post-apocalyptic fallout one man will still stand resilient, Omega man Alan Hutton. When advancements in technology lead to our AI overloads overthrowing us, Alan Hutton will be there to lead the human resistance. If an incurable disease swept the globe, Alan Hutton’s DNA holds the antidote. Many mortals have tried to displace the prophet Elmohamady De Laet Bree Richards Bacuna Lowton But still he has found his way back, even the limitation of having no left foot, does not stop him. The left back spot is now his, stand aside Taylor, he has no time for you. I have seen the prophecy my fellow Villa brethren. Mark my words Alan Hutton will finally score, and will score the final goal needed to secure our automatic promotion. Signalling an end of days and a rebirth of a new Villa dawn! All hail the Alan ‘The Prophet’ Hutton!
  10. I also missed off Terry and Hogan. Although he is invaluable to us and only contracted to us for the end of the season. What price would people accept this window to be without him for the rest of season. Hypothetically of course would the board accept a cheeky 5 mill bid??
  11. Agree with most. But even though he hasn’t been the best lately I reckon there would be uproar if we let Davis go for 2mill and a sell on clause.
  12. As a reprise from the intense going round in circle debate of Bruce's effectiveness as manager so far, and seeing we are in the transfer window, I was wondering hypothetically what fee would people think would be the best price we could get for our key players, and would be that magic number which the board would stop and consider selling? Obviously I'm not suggesting we sell any of these players, and selling them would massively harm our chances of promotions. But what fee would you accept, under the idea that ever player has a price, we were under no pressure to sell and if promised the transfer fee would be put straight back into funding incoming transfers? Chester - 15 mill? Taylor - 5 mill? Hutton - 2 mill? Whelan - 2 mill? Jedinak - 2 mill? Hourihane - 6 mill? Adomah - 15 mill? Green - 10 mill? Davis - 12 mill? Grealish - 18 mill? Kodjia - 18 mill?
  13. For me this is the most telling stat for how Bruce has turned us around. We have conceded the least goals in the last 15 minutes in the league. Only 1 goal! Think about how many years we lost points at the death of games, where we knew as a fan the opposition were going to score when we conceded a late corner, we knew heads would be down and backs would be against the wall. That does not happen anymore, and that is down to Bruce. May not be the best football, but we are no longer a soft touch, and we are no longer losers mentally. I really wouldn't swap Bruce for anyone right now. Yes the manager at Wolves is doing a great job, but he didn't have to raise a titanic which had been sinking for a hell of long time.
  14. Cheers booked in lower holte! Let's hope the result is good!
  15. Alright guys bit of advice went City away last Sat and loved it, even though the result destroyed me. Buying tickets for Everton game, haven't been Villa Park for a while (live in Manchester and work alot) where is the best block in the Holte End to sit, for maximum banter, noise and singing?
  16. Yeah sorted it cheers for the help, got put on some crazy duplicate list. But it's game on,UTV!
  17. Tried to buy tickets yesterday but can only buy them if I can collect them from villa park. I live in Manchester though, is there anyway round this, don't really want to end in the city end?
  18. Why is that? I can think of a few (totally presuming it's players loyalty you might have the issue with) Le Tissier, Giggs, Scholes etc
  19. I reckon the reason we didn’t sign Vlaar is down to wages. I don’t think we are necessarily working on a one out, one in policy. But don’t think Lambert could justify having 5 defenders on high wages with Colins, Dunne, Warnock and Hutton already commanding decent wages. Until we offload one I don’t see us bringing in another ‘established’ defender on good wages. I think signings like Lowton, Cresswell etc Lambert will be able to sign them at will, due to it not having too much impact on increasing our overall wage structure. I still think Lambert has the green light for another fairly big singing (in terms of wages), but think this will be a striker, freed up by getting rid of Heskey. But before anymore big signings can happen players like Hutton, Collins etc will be need to shown the door.
