    ah fair enough. I wasn't consciously looking out for it during the match - was more of an afterthought. Must be still waiting for Castore to get something sorted
  2. TheMelvillan
    is it my imagination or did the shirts look less sweaty/ greasy yesterday. ollies looked fairly fresh after his goal -though maybe he changed it at half time
  3. TheMelvillan
    watching the replays back his stepover even fooled Diaby, you can see him in the background reacting to it

    Really confused about what Im reading. He leaves defenders for dust when running at pace. Carries the ball fantastically well Maybe he's one of those deceptively quick fellas cos he's tall and awkward looking but he is absolutely very fast

    ah man gonna have to politely and respectfully disagree - I thought it was great! The acting and the writing were absolutely on point for me. It maybe wasnt his scariest work admittedly. Probably leant more towards drama/thriller/tragedy more than pure horror

    sounds like Tonali doesnt have a gambling problem rather than a got-caught-gambling problem. If its not influencing or getting influenced by games he is not involved in, and he feels he can afford it, then he should be allowed to do what he wants with his money - especially when you consider that the sport is all consumed with a background culture of gambling However I fully expect that he will be advised to follow the Hollywood blueprint whereby individuals admit to having a "sex addiction" (who doesnt? ) once they get caught. He may plead addiction - seek help - and get away with a lighter punishment.

    I do sometimes worry about his status or reputation outgrowing us tbh. yes I know we are brilliant and the best team in the land etc! but he really could be playing at an elite club and he, his family and agent know this

    Not really no I wouldn't necessarily call being more vocal at calling out what you think to be a penalty claim, cheating

    Think the ref has been watching too much rugby because he let a lot of things go today Including that bloody stiff arm shove in Ollie's back. However why Ollie himself wasn't up screaming penalty I'll never know - I really think villa are poor at some of the snidier darker arts of the game sometimes

    How does the advantage of the restart go to them!!!
  11. TheMelvillan
    But by blowing up for the wrong decision it stopped villas attack!!!! Aaaarggghhh
  12. TheMelvillan
    So this on telly tonight anywhere?

    Just let Unai design it. He gets everything else right

    Konsa's ability to get between the ball and the player to win a foul when under pressure is one of my favourite things. Knows exactly what he is doing and controls those situations so well

    I genuinely the most satisfying football viewing experiences are those matches - early cup games etc - that dont use VAR. Its just simpler and you know within a second whether the goal has been given so uninhibited celebrations can ensue I also think its rich that pundits are up on their high horse about all this - it has been the evolution of their hyper-focused dissection of every decision and criticism of mistakes that has brought us to this point. For years they would replay every decision after the game frame by frame with the benefit of time, no pressure and multiple pairs of eyes - then slag off the officials for any errors

    The one on left is my favourite of them all by far. The police badge ones look okay but they really dont mean anything to me - just a generic shape. These ones feel aston villa-y I would love to see a really really subtle brickwork effect in the background of the left shield. Would add interest/ texture and - for me personally - red brick reflects what I associate with Villa Park and the surrounding area. I also appreciate that there are a billion or so reasons why this is a terrible idea
  17. TheMelvillan
    I definitely foresee a situation - probably this season - whereby Ten Hag or Poch get sacked and there will be a massively vocal outpouring of "Just go get Emery" from that teams fans. To which we will laugh as we continue to quietly build a legacy defining juggernaut. The only one I would worry about is potentially Real Madrid coming in for him (though BHA fans also have this fear about Di Zerbi apparently) but for some reason (probably my Claret and Blue lenses) I think Emery is honourable and stubborn enough to want to finish what he started - and continues to build - here at Villa rather than jump to another project.

    Dont see why we cant just ask Castore to do a badge redesign for us
  19. TheMelvillan
    Was a perfect pass to zaniolo. Just happened to be a defender in the way
  20. TheMelvillan
    just realised ollie got an assist for Ramsey goal on top of scoring his three and his assist for Diaby. Does his rebounded shot for Dougies goal also count as an assist?
  21. TheMelvillan
    He is such a tactical leader on the pitch now too - constantly communicating and directing play. He really has grown as a player for us and it's great to see. He totally knew what he was doing fouling that lad by head butting him in the shins before our goal by the way
  22. TheMelvillan
    Now I don't want to take all the credit but I did drop Ollie from my fantasy team for the past two games Remember kids, not all heroes wear capes
  23. TheMelvillan
    Diaby the only one who got to the ball there. What the hell?
  24. TheMelvillan
    would be borderline irresponsible of Dyche to field anywhere near a strong team for this. If I were him I would absolutely take the hit, get out of the competition and focus on league survival which is absolutely paramount for Everton in their current state.

    Me when we have to travel to the Etihad Stadium
