  1. I find it impossible to win anything with Villa tend to favour my favourite players at the club or stay loyal to the current crop of players.

    I tend to have the same problem so try to start in the lower leagues.

  2. Surely the most absurd thing about this situation is not what Wilshere said. But the fact that The FA and certain parts of the press, are talking about a call up for a kid with just a few minutes under his belt that won't even be illegible til 2018. Has he even indicated he may want to take British citizenship when possible?

  3. Second season syndrome? Him and a few others don't seem to be performing aswell as last year.

     

    Him, Lowton, Sylla, Weimann.

    I'd go with that maybe bar Sylla as it is to early to lump him in with them yet. 

     

    Nothing wrong with struggling in their 2nd season just depends if they face upto the chellenge or hide from it. 

  4. Classic MOTD - absolutely no analysis for the game today, so Delph gets no mention in the presence of Woy. 

     

     

    TBF their was not an awful lot to anaylze in that game was poor by both teams. Think it is a bit early to be banging the England drum for Delph just yet. 

  5. Not really. Benteke is our only consistent scorer/creator. Agbonlahor has good patches and Weimann is struggling a bit. So we need the midfielders to chip in a bit too. No one is expecting one of them to score 10+ but half a dozen would be nice.

  6. I don't think it matters who we play at full back. With the formation we play, in games are backs are not against the wall and the likes of Gabby and Weimann are sitting back they are are always going to be isolated and look poor.

  7. I think I read somewhere that this was filmed in Manchester. As rjw63 has said it does seem like nothing has changed in Small Heath since then they were also in Division 2 back in 1919 as they are now. That art gallery is nowhere in Birmingham and they could have popped down for 30 minutes to film the shot in the city centre. I think there are some good attempts at Brummie accents and some dire ones but the show looks a good one.   

    Liverpool, Leeds and the Black Country museum were all used for filming. Not sure if Manchester was.

  8. Our lesser neighbours received a mention, their forum is probably busy talking all about...that we weren't.

    Its written by a nose (according to Rob) and set in Small Heath so that bit was inevitable

    Correct. Heard him interviewed on WM by Adrian Goldberg and he admitted the shame.

    Typical that a knuckledragger would shoehorn them in somehow. Weren't they still called small heath alliance back then?

    Or just "words removed"?

    I think they were just Birmingham by then. It had to mention them at some point considering it's based in Small Heath.

    Personally didn't mind the accents to much. But the sister under the canal bridge with the commie went absurdly Scouse.

    All in all I thought it was a solid first episode, looking forward to next week.
