  1. I want to point out the traffic lights at Spaghetti junction. You have a queue of traffic heading that direction, whether to get onto M6, Slade Road, Gravelly Hill or Tyburn Road. Yet the traffic lights carry on in their normal cycle. I never really realised until one day I was at the front and sat at red lights for about 3 minutes while nothing was going in any direction and about 15,000 cars behind me. These need to be switched off on matchdays and the roundabout used as it used to be back in the day allowing traffic to flow when its obvious everything is coming from one direction. Or at least put some sensors on so it will switch if it recognises the odd car is coming from another direction. This is especially annoying at 1030pm after a midweek game when there really is nothing going in any other direction and the red lights are just making it worse.
  2. I don't think that would stop us. It's a one in a lifetime chance, you build to how you want but don't open all the seats until the transport infrastructure is in place
  3. Is he allowed to play for us in our last 2 games, or does the terms of the loan mean he is there officially until the end of the season? Meaning he can't play for us even though their season is over?
  4. I remember pundits saying we played like a Champions League team that day. We had a lot of brilliant performances under Smith that season we finished 11th. Its always easy to say the latest game is the best ever. As much as I loved today, still preferred the Liverpool 7-2 victory, as that should have been double figures really. The main thing is we are more likely to repeat todays performance, it was similar to the Bournemouth win a few weeks ago. We are starting to dominate teams and winning comfortably regularly now.
  5. If it wasnt for that dive by Wet Spam, that would be 8 wins in a row today.
  6. We scored 3 goals where you expect the player to put it away, we hit the post and bar where youd expect the player to put it away, we also had one disallowed.. yet xG thinks we should only have scored 1 complete goal? That reminds me why I stopped looking at that crap xG stat 2 weeks after it became popular. We should have had 6 today.
  7. Maybe there is some kind of leeway with the scales that the 1:1 is based on? For example seating in North stand is far tighter than the seating in the Holte, maybe they can rip the seats out of the Holte and base the new rail seating on the 1:1 scale from the North stand (where it will also be introduced)? Thus increasing the previous capacity.. If seating in the stadium exists at that ratio required and will be installed in another part of the ground then an argument can be made legitimately for using the same ratio in other parts of the ground also.
  8. Selling him would be like selling Cahill all over again. An obvious superstar in the making.
  9. Because theirs was given, so VAR wont overturn unless it thinks its a clear and obvious error (in my opinion it was and should have been overturned) But its very rare they overturn them these days Same logic again on ours, it wasnt initially given so VAR wont overturn unless its "clear and obvious error" Pathetic refereeing, I don't know why we have such **** refs in this country
  10. Tony Gale.. Ex West Ham player who spent 10 years there, he's very biased towards them every time hes on commentary
  11. What is the point of VAR? If they can't see a blatant dive and overturn it as a clear and obvious error, then why is it even there? And from a referees point of view, if you know VAR is there to catch your mistakes, then why would you give a penalty if you haven't seen a foul? surely if you miss a foul then you know VAR is there to catch it, so you should only be giving a penalty if you are certain there's a foul.. which he couldn't have been as there was no foul. Pathetic, why does the "best league in the world" have the worst referees and VAR's??
  12. What's worse is they don't allow you to return online orders to the club shop. "They are seperate to us" Is it so hard to set this up, even if they are seperate? Just have a drop of area for online returns and run the returns to headquarters, even if its just once a week. Would make the customer experience so much better, I havent ordered online since as its a joke of a service.
  13. Lets not forget hes away playing 4 games in 8 days for Colombia u20s Should have at least kept Ings around until Duran was here and available for selection. Seeing as Archer is out on loan as well. (as are B Young and Barry I believe) We literally only have 1 striker at the club, and its generous calling him that with his form in front of goal this season.
  14. Has that new competition been scrapped or do we not count it as being in Europe? Europa Conference or whatever it was called, don't think you need to finish 7th to qualify for that.
  15. Not having it, Targett was our player of the year the season before we replaced him. Was a joy watching him and Grealish work together down the left. Digne I'm still waiting to see him have a good game. Apart from that free kick v man utd he's been poor. Especially considering how much he cost and his wages.
  16. I'm in the minority who rated this guy, would love to see him recalled and play in this Emery team. Really exciting to watch when he's on it
  17. Gerrard didnt beat a single top 10 team in his whole time here. Emery has done it 3 times in his first 4 games, He also had a worse record than Gary Neville did in Spain. No one in the media still says that Gerrard did a bad job. Emery is amazing, we are going places!
  18. I am extremely brassed off to not allowing to have a vote on my clubs future decisions Feel this deserves a thread on its own, not about the crest, but just on how the club thought it would be a good idea to isolate a section of the fanbase by not allowing them to vote on the crest - Aston Villa, please explain yourselves I can understand they dont want random people jeoprodising the voting, but surely thats where the fan ID comes into play. My ID will show how many tickets I've bought over the years, that I was at Wembley for the losing play off final, hundreds of league and cup games over the years. Spent god knows how many thousands of pounds following my club since 1987. I'm even on the season ticket waiting list but they don't care about my opinion on such matters. I swear if football clubs didnt involve such emtional attachments I would have given up on Villa years ago Just when I thought the club was becoming supporter friendly again they pull a stunt like this to make a huge part of their fanbase feel unwanted and worthless. Anyone else annoyed by this? Or am I over reacting?
  19. I don't understand why I don't get a vote. Thought there was a mistake so kept trying.. but no, I just don't qualify I've been to more matches than a lot of current season tickets and membership holders. The poll is very interesting, how people who arent allowed to vote seem to all prefer the gaslamp, me included. Would have been an interesting additional option to see a vote on the lion facing left rather right, just doesn't feel correct facing the wrong way. What was the reasoning behind changing it, or more importantly not allowing it to be voted on. But what do I know, I'm not a proper fan according to the club as I am not allowed to vote
  20. Dyche getting a lot of stick for some reason. I think he did a great job at Burnley. Didn't he get them into Europe one season as well? Is he my first choice? No. But I think his past achievements deserve respect and a chance at a mid to bottom half premier league club. One thing for certain, we won't get relegated with him, Amorim could be another Gerrard / Garde. Risky appointment like that could see us relegated again. Would be nice to have an exotic up and coming foreign coach, but right now I'd prefer the safer option. Can't afford to get relegated again. If we can't get Poch or Emery then I'd happily settle for Dyche.
  21. "The thought of replacing Gerrard hadnt even crossed my mind" so it far fetched to think the next comment will be "We were reduced to 10 men by ineffiecient refereeing, making it unfair for the manager to react accordingly to going a goal down"?
  22. Got a feeling this red card is going to save him, they will spin a narrative saying its not fair to sack him after a game where it was an uneven playing field. Purslow loves him too much.
  23. Looks so awful, get rid in January while some fools might think hes still good and give us a few million.
