    I think it’s because the security people just don’t give a shit…most of them don’t know the rules. I just have that message on me if I get an idiot who says I can’t take my bottles in which has only happened once since and I showed them the message.

    you can, you can take a gym/sports bottle in with a non-fizzy drink in. I checked with the club at the beginning of last season and I’ve done so ever since

    Not really it was more about Arsenal being sloppy. Spurs had a lot of huff and puff but Arsenal let them back in the game because of a GK howler and Rice giving away a penalty, that’s what made it edgy at the end.

    He’s only a kid so no long term judgement on him but I’ve got to say I haven’t seen anything yet in him.

    Looks like the lion is being electrocuted The left one is quite nice

    I don’t agree re City…with nothing to play for City would be very dangerous because they will just play with their toy (Spurs). City are deadly in two periods, firstly when chasing the last dozen of games or more of a season and secondly when they have nothing to play for because they are free and the quality shines.

    I’m happy with the point at the end. If you aren’t playing well in a game then make sure you don’t lose it and we didn’t. We were poor, didn’t deserve the two nil lead…when we got that lead we were sloppy to let them back in but it was one of those games you always felt they would because we weren’t at the races today. I think that will end up being a vital point for us so I’m happy as I can be.

    Disagree all you want but it’s a minority opinion.

    We are Claret and Blue, not Claret, Blue and Gold. I don’t think gold should be in it at all but appreciate sometimes it can help but definitely no to anything official.

    I would go further and say that the other option was not better by half. It's what I voted for and I would do again if given a choice between all the various possible badges. But the most vocal, proactive and overwhelming majority elements of our fanbase get swept up time and again in nostalgia and that's what happened again in this case, to our benefit FTFY Just because you guys don’t like it doesn’t mean it was bad. All design companies get given brief’s and seem to do ok and yes this design company didn’t blow it out of the park but they had plenty to work with and really didn’t do much. Fan designs with the same restrictions seem to produce fantastic versions. It’s not the fans fault.

    You watch a different player to me then. Yep definitely a different player as I think when he has played for Spurs which he didn’t much he was bang average. He would not be ahead of any midfielder we currently have at the club.

    Or we are getting the ‘City Hall/Gretna Green’ version.

    I don’t, Spurs defence will struggle with Arsenal’s attack and Arsenal are one of the best defensive teams around.

    Track records are only impressive until they are not. We aren’t any normal business.
  15. nick76
    Or really shit!

    I agree, I just don’t see it. He would just be an unused sub 95% of the time given competition in that midfield. We have to bring in players equivalent or better than what we have imo.

    Glad you are a graphic designer and not an accountant.

    I’m resigning myself to the shit show Heck badge, the accident by the Betano press release irrationally killed my hope that they can’t be that stupid thinking this modified Heck badge is the way forward. Go with a shield, fine… change the lion back, fine…but get something decent.

    We get more money from the current boxes than the extra GA seats you are proposing I assume

    I think the premium on them would be too much for us. We’d be paying over market value for them and that doesn’t seem the Monchi/Emery way. Seem like Man Utd signings all over or maybe Chelsea given the London factor.

    I love this and it’s great for the players to see the welcome. My only gripe was that we stood there for an hour with my nephew, that even though we thought we got a good position the players got off the coach and walked the short distance in and my nephew got blocked by the stupid car in the way. It wouldn’t hurt the club to stop the coach 20 metres earlier and let more people see the players.

    Bailey still playing through his injury apparently, so I’d throw Bailey on second half as usual to bring Dougie back into starting line up.

    To be fair there are two reasons I don’t mind… Everybody underestimates us and we fly a lot under the radar. I was really critical months back about the limited attention we get but I think it’s served to our advantage. A few weeks back it was agreed by many non-Villa media that Spurs were top four, I even heard somebody mention they might sneak third, and the Man Utd brigade thought they were making up 10 points at the time….yet a few weeks on we are 6 points clear of Spurs, which could be 7 or 9 by Saturday night and although Spurs have games in hand it’s a hard schedule. We have just gone about our business while discussions carry on about title challenge, relegation battle, Forest statement, European failures, Klopp replacement and received credit for the Arsenal win but that quickly died away and we beat the Cherries and snuck to a nice, points in the bag, lead for fourth place. I wanted Emery as our manager, I was shocked we got him. I’m still rubbing my eyes how well we’ve done in such a short time, with so many of the same players. I believed he would get us back up here but in an optimistic three years time and yet he’s got us fighting for Champions League this season. It feels like to us now that we deserve Champions League, we have games that make it achievable left. It’s no surprise how non-Villa are shocked how quickly we’ve risen because it’s shocked us Villa fans and because we are used to it now but we are an unfashionable club, not one of the Sky6, not based in London and don’t have many elite ex players all over the media then some non-Villa don’t see that we have become a CL level big club with billionaire owners and an elite manager. We are a Champions League level team, just hope we clinch it now.
