  1. didnt we pay around £50m for Diaby?. Think id rather have Jack for that money tbh but I may be biased as JG still remains one of my favourite ever players
  2. Big shout. I reckon all three of those are possibly more effective and proven but Leon is so goddamn fun to watch right now
  3. really starting to regret using the word agenda in my original post but really what is the point in having a 20 team league when the ultimate prize isnt viably winnable by a team sitting joint third with 15 games to play? Just take the biggest 4 teams in the land and let them scrap it out Oh and according to TNT Sports on Twitter today "Arsenal are unbeaten against the big six in the Premier League this season" citing City, Liverpool, Man Utd, Spurs and Chelsea. Factually correct but frustrating unimportant as they seem to have included a mid table and upper mid table team in that stat
  4. Poch is on borrowed time so he has no reason not to go full strength here. we have to do likewise
  5. meh you are probably right (and I do love a good outlandish conspiracy theory!) but I think the wording of it is so deliberate so as to scoff at the idea of Villa being worthy of being in the conversation
  6. Main article on the BBC website: "Arsenal place themselves at heart of three way title race" by Phil McNulty I mean I get it - Villa probably aren't gonna win the league. I'm realistic enough to know this. But the utter disrespect shown by that sentence is unreal. Villa have the same number of points as one of those teams, within 3 of second place and 5 of first! Form over the last 12 months as good as anyone It's stuff like this that means we simply have to keep winning games cos it so clearly messes with the media agenda and they hate it.
  7. I mean, that thing at spurs was mental wasnt it? how on earth was he not cancelled out of orbit, let alone go on to have a gainful post playing career!
  8. he be useful cos he can play Home and Away damn, top of the page. was kinda hoping this terrible post would be buried mid to lower page if im honest...
  9. Thought he was looking a bit scrawny in the first season
  10. equalling £60m according to sky sports maths
  11. Caveat that Newcastle did score a goal in 16/17 but it was an OG 2022/23 lost 0-3 2021/22 lost 0-2 2020/21 lost 0-2 2019/20 lost 0-2 2016/17 drew 1-1 og (Elphick) (Ch) 2015/16 drew 0-0 2014/15 drew 0-0 2013/14 won 2-1 Ben Arfa, Gouffran (also lifted from Toon forum)
  12. The last Newcastle player to score at Villa Park? Gouffran, September 2013!. (lifted from Toon forum)
  13. We talking about Kyle Walker here?
  14. I know this is probably a joke suggestion but.......in a heartbeat. but could never afford him. he needs to get away from utd - its a toxic relationship. get the lad a new start elsewhere and he could be brilliant again. just a shame his salary will price him out of 99% of clubs
  15. Just finished season 1 of Reacher Really enjoyable but my god do you have to suspend an incredible amount of belief. The bit where they had to find some dude who'd been in hiding for a week so they gave Reacher a map and he narrowed the search down to the very motel room the dude was hiding out in - aye righto Its so so dumb. Cant wait to start season 2
  16. The chant from villa fans when chuk came on was delightful. Beautiful clarity and enunciation - left everyone listening in no doubt as to what was being sung. Bravo
  17. Dont see why when we already have a strategic partnership with the Craig Butler Academy
  18. Nice to see a transfer fee under £10m It's like the good old days! Seems like every clogger is getting valued between £50m and £100m recently
  19. Go to London, and I guarantee you’ll either be mugged or not appreciated. Catch the train to London, stopping at Rejection, Disappointment, Backstabbing Central, and Shattered Dreams Parkway
  20. Thats really kind of you. Did he come all the way from Haiti for it?
  21. Fingers crossed he's one of those cool foreign guys that goes by his first name !
  22. Honestly don't think I have seen a softer non existent stupid yellow card than the one Youri got. He got body checked by Coleman off the ball, gets back up without reacting then does absolutely nothing and gets a yellow. I get why his reaction was utter bemusement Also what did Carlos do wrong for the ball over the top that ended up with Ollie putting it across to lenglet to finish?!?! At least let the play finish and then review Dumb reffing team
  23. Lads relax. Aim for second, then when city get eventually done for grotesque amounts of cheating and thievery we'll be retrospectively handed the title Simples
  24. I have second hand imposter syndrome on behalf on chambers Seems a nice enough lad but I'm sure even he knows he's punching above his weight here
  25. Fascinating article - again highlighting the sliding doors moment that promotion was Also, now the dust has settled, it shows that selling jack was critical to our ongoing success and survival. Just didn't seem like it at the time!
