That list has the following:

• Mourinho at 35
• Patrick Vieira at 33
• Emry at 20
• Xavi at 14
• Eddie Howe at 13
• Potter at 8
• Arteta at 6

I can't take this list seriously...  

 

I had to read the first two on that list maybe eight times before my brain understood what was being implied.

Reading the full list gave me a brain injury.

I'm starting to get that sense of dread setting in again as the prez campaign ramps up. Things are going to get really chaotic and ugly. 

This, along with Florida **** up the vote are the only two sure things in the next election cycle.

They need DCL back to play Dyche-ball.

Smashing high balls into the box for Maupay to get in the end of is never going to work. 

It's funny to watch though.

From an outsider's perspective, Trump vs DeSantis sounds like an ok matchup on paper, but once the Trump war machine powers up and they face each other in a few debates it'll be a massacre.

DeSantis is pretty bad in debates when confronted, and lacks charisma and charm.

I'm not saying Trump has any of the latter two but he will absolutely steamroller DeSantis in a debate. It'll be borderline Jeb Bush embarrassing.

If I were a betting man, Trump at evens for GOP nominee looks like free money to me.

And just for clarity, I don't like either of them.

So if he gets a 6 month ban that includes the summer when there is no football.

That will teach him not to break the rules im sure. Missing football when the seasons already over.

For that alone the ban should either start next season or be extended to 9-12 months

Nine month ban?

Adrian Mutu's lawyers will be watching this.

Lower league Man City.

How are other clubs in that league (or even several leagues higher) meant to compete with things like this (or documentaries or social media sponsors).

Difference is if Man City win the league, we still have to compete with them next year.

If they do a great job with Wrexham then most teams only have to challenge them for a season or two anyway.

He's the Peter Beardsley of League Two.

His jinking run, less so the looks and hopefully not the racism.

What’s partey done? I’ve not been keeping up with other teams this season in the premier league. 

He's not been convicted of anything (don't know if he's still on bail) but Google "Thomas Partey Rape".

This won't get the love it deserves.

Ruesha Littlejohn, who's sister is the one doing that interview, has a youtube channel where she shows a lot of the behind the scenes goings on and from that it looks like they all get a long very well, a few of the videos shows them in a big house, couldn't work out if it was Kenza Dali's or just a general one, perhaps provided by the club, that they all use to spend time together, but either way good for team camaraderie.

I'll be honest and say I don't follow the women's team so had to look something up.

Fyi, Ruesha is no relation to Adrian Littlejohn in case you were wondering. And if you were, you're also old like me because you had his Pro Set card stacked in the same pile as Brian Deane and Dane Whitehouse.

His first touch is sometimes poor, but as said many times if he didn't have one or two obvious limitations he wouldn't be playing for us anyway.

In terms of strikers who don't play for a team in Europe go, I'm hard pressed to think of a better option.

I'll take 700 pages of Rashica speculation over one page of amortization speculation.

Don't how many have gone through a wholesale culture change at work. I am coming out the other end of one and it's been a tedious 2+ years to get here. You have bring in new individuals, retrain everyone from the old regime all while maintaining some level of acceptable production. 

Performance will drop. Their really isn't a way around it. You can't focus on retraining and day to day performance. The human body isn't a machine. People will need to have patience. We are still probably a full season away before we start seeing the wholesale mentality change we all want. 

Can't give this more than one like unfortunately. 

People complain about the culture, and on the other hand don't want to see bad results week to week.

I don't really care where we finish now - we're not getting in Europe and we're not getting relegated. Use the remainder of the season for UE to do what he needs to do to change things.

I also don't buy that new players won't come because we finish 12th instead of 9th.

We had the best form of any Prem team in Jan, had a shocker against Leicester, then got beat by Man City and people are seriously talking about relegation?

Never change VT, you crazy lovable bunch of manic schizophrenics.

I'm fine with V Sports is. Aston Villa will always be a collection of people including players, staff and fans in my mind.

Absolutely. Should be 'are'. 

Going to flog this dead horse but absolutely one of my pet hates, especially when talking about football teams. As soon as I see “Aston Villa is” I stop reading.

Is this going to be like when that guy said Bailey cost us three points because he missed a sitter at the end and we drew instead of winning?

Do you think you look more like an old Tom Hiddleston or a young Count Dracula?

I personally think he's going to do well in the Championship if Luton just get him to do what he's good at.  He'll never be an expansive passer, but he's very effective at breaking up play.

Best of luck to him.
