  1. I assume this frees up the number 8 shirt for sansom?
  2. Hate to say it but Barkley really is playing like a loanee. Class in abundance but not what you would call a grafter and for his size really doesn't get stuck in. Definitely have seen him make a few "business decisions" by pulling out of 50/50's. Nakamba and trez subbed on earlier for mcginn and traore and we win that game
  3. I imagine it's part of a villa midfielders training to be reactive to Mings losing the ball on the halfway line by doing something dumb
  4. Was kinda weird seeing us take the piss rather than have the piss taken. I prefer it this way Thought we overplayed at times but Newcastle gave us soooo much time on the ball that you can see why.
  5. Traore does the cool unexpected stuff that makes me love football
  6. More offside than some of his goals which have been disallowed lol. Or was it second phase cos defender touched it?
  7. Agreed. Need a reset. Take a zero off every transfer fee from here on out. Transfer values will still hold relative value. Game theory
  8. Why is there a mexican luchador playing up front for Marseille at 6:20?
  9. Feels like years since Barkley last played for us!
  10. Time to reduce the length of the transfer window. Nothing happens for 95% of it anyway, apart from sky manipulating the betting market with fake news. Let's just pick a day in January, call that the transfer window and be done with it. Am also totally open to introducing a takeshi's castle assault course element to it also, with a contract as the prize at the end
  11. I think what is clear is that by the end of this season Covid is going to have played a massive part in the outcome of the league. Winners may just be the team which has avoided a team outbreak the best
  12. Worth remembering that that wasn't even our full strength academy team
  13. Must be the lockdown talking but I got a wee bit emotional myself when he scored. Possibly my favourite villa goal this season that
  14. Servant on Apple TV is one of the best things I've watched in ages. Binged 10 thirty minute episodes in two days. Very creepy drama produced by M Night Shyamalan (sp?) Sadly no one will ever see it cos it's on Apple TV. Ron Weasley is in it too!
  15. Popped on to redcafe, the man utd forum for the craic and jeez, if you think we love jack on here you should take a look at that lot. He has his own thread with 8 or 9 pages since yesterdays game. All want to sign him, obviously, many think he is a nob, many believe he is a utd fan, most think he is gettable, quite a few with an unhealthy obsession over the size of his calves. One particularly charming chap admitted that he would gladly stab a baby to sign him . £100m seems to be the concensus on what he would cost them this summer. But no one baulking at that price as they think he would help them win the league
  16. Dunno what cavani posted on insta but that is a pretty extreme punishment
  17. Get beat tonight and we kinda screw Liverpool over for the 2nd time this season. Every cloud and all that
  18. That Chelsea performance has rattled the bookies a bit. Villa were 100-1 to win the league before kickoff, 75-1 this morning (per PP)
  19. Targett is becoming a bit of a one on one tackling machine. More often that not he wins his duels when fronted up by a winger. Much improved
  20. I imagine that with all the health and fitness tech and statistics etc at his disposal that Dean knows exactly what his players are capable of and what their limits are. Dean seems to like consistency. Mr No.tinkerman
  21. Don't think anyone ever really doubted his defending ability.its just his passing that has been terrifying in the past. Dougie has been great at coming back and taking the ball off the centre backs recently so as long as Kourtney just keeps it simple and gives it to him we should be fine
