  1. Gave motm to Watkins. He holds the ball up like a man twice his size. Also have no concerns if he receives the ball deep or wide. Fella has it all. Baller
  2. Too right. I remember the us president making a pass at Martine mccutcheon when he was staying at number 10 and it made the prime minister question that special relationship
  3. Do vegans prefer fish over meat? (Sorry, not sorry)
  4. Now re-watching 'Teachers' as its been released on Netflix. Absolutely adore it and other than the (fantastic) soundtrack it hasnt really aged that much for a 20 year old show.
  5. In some weird messed up way people now see streaming the game rather than pay for the ppv as taking the moral high ground in this issue.
  6. one of those films that I personally found absolutely terrifying. Big fan of horror but the idea of watching this again makes me break into a cold sweat. Think its because I was so little when I watched it and had read the book but it gave me nightmares as a kid and I have no desire to ever watch it again lol
  7. not to be a debbie downer but my god what an amazing atmosphere it would have been tonight if the fans were allowed in! Packed Villa park, fans cocky and buoyant and a wee bit drunk, under the Friday night lights, Leeds with their fantastic vocal away support, memories of the last time we played, Bamford with his hateful little rat face to scream abuse at. Would have been incredible
  8. Meh, all about opinions I guess. Winning mentality for me is having bravery on the ball , perserverence, never give up, run yourself into the ground, demanding the ball even when being targetted, playing your own game, preparing physically and mentally for every game. Kicking better players because you cant match them for skill or any of the above named attributes is, for me, dirty and I have no respect for it
  9. nah, I still call it dirty
  10. Absolutely refuse to engage in any feelings of shadenfraude about Leeds injury woes because that will inevitable be us at some point this season
  11. its very early days. Liverpool used 24 different players in league games alone last year when they won the league (though three of those were young players getting run outs at the end of the season) so you can see how much of a squad competition the premier league is it is and how all of our senior players are liable to be called up at some point this season. Hopefully we can get to the stage where we can rotate a little bit just to keep the full squad match ready
  12. cant believe he only scored 4 goals for Chelsea though. before we signed him if someone had highlighted his stats of 4 goals in 51 games as an attacking midfielder we'd have been up in arms. i was sure i'd seen him scored bucketloads for chelsea but id obviously imagined it guess it shows that stats really are worthless sometimes. oh and the importance of playing with better players in a bigger club obv.
  13. yeah i think the adage should be "if you're good enough, and physically developed enough, you're old enough" cant all be 16 year old built like a 32 year old brickie like Wayne Rooney
  14. Risky opinion to throw out here but I think Leeds are an excellent team. They work so hard for one another and some of their passing moves last night were really impressive. They were oozing confidence so I'm hoping that that slightly undeserved defeat last night takes them down a peg or two. Villa definitely got enough to beat them though. Like someone posted above there should be room in behind because their fullbacks love getting forward. Villa 2-1 leeds
  15. I'd say Adam Johnson is a good comparison but Barry has far more technical ability
  16. he is getting closer. at some point this season he is going to score one of those solo mazy goals where he jinks around 4 players in the box before slotting it home a la George Best for the San Jose Earthquakes 1981 or the one Ibrahimovich scored for Ajax in 2004. I guarantee it
  17. Im gonna have to wait a while before watching Dean's post match interviews after a win. He is so sensible and pragmatic he really knows how keep ones feet on the ground. whereas I like bouncing round the room singing "championees" and working out what route the open top bus should take. genuinely though it shows how the managers influence and demeanour is so important and it is his job to focus the players and keep them humble. I believe Dean when he says things and trust that his reaction to situations is the correct one. Would be a wonderful guy to work for. We've got a good 'un there
  18. Tastes best out of the glass bottle. Source: lived in glasgow for 10 years
  19. Righto cheers. They really are a shower of greedy bar stewards aren't they. Saw someone mention on twitter that on Principe they are gonna give £15 to charity and watch the game on a stream! May do that instead - can't bear the thought of giving sky money for it and validating their decision further
  20. Hypothetically, if he has scored more than Calvert Lewin by the next round of friendlies, do you think he gets an England call up?
  21. In honour of this page, may I recommend The One Show* *not really, its keek
  22. woooooo that was spooky. I came into the Benrahma thread in Villatalk and when I came out of it I was in Other Football. Must be how B.A felt in the A-team when he got drugged before they put him in a place
  23. sure man city havent any fit senior strikers for this weekend and look at the money they've spent/ Luck with injuries plays a massive part for any team to succeed
