    Could we end up with something like this? Or is it going to be the flat & shadow crap?

    Our new sponsors used the flat & shadow crap. Therefore, most indications are that this will be what we end up with. The detailed lion will be amazing in relation. Also a claret or gold colored lion will be better than the yellow one.

  2. I know we are in a good position to fight for the top four. We can decide that ourselves, or that Tottenham lose one out of three games. Good possibility of them losing against City.

    But imagine if the game against City was this week here, and Tottenham won that game. Then my nerves would be reasonably frayed. With two easy games left for Tottenham, it would be decisive but a win in one of our last games. Think this shows how incredibly dependent we are on a win or at least a draw, for Manchester City. As I don't want to go into the last game knowing that we have to beat one of the form teams away from home.

    This will be the one you mean I think. We know it can't be accurate because of the sponsor, but, it is Adidas's 2024 template and i'd suggest it's not far off what we'll end up with.

    I'd be surprised if the PL allow us to have that AV150 logo there at the size they've done it.

    That badge looks huge. Unfortunately, everything points in the direction that our new badge is this, but in a smaller format. Saves the money on a new shirt. This season's kit destroyed by the sponsor.

    I think the new format helps us tbh. Going to get drawn with two teams from pot three and four so there is four games where we can pick up some points. Would like to think we could at least finish in the 9th - 24th bracket where we would make the play off round before the last 16. Not sure many of those teams would like to play Villa over two legs! 

    Totally agree. With the new format, we face just as strong opposition as, for example, Manchester City. This season, Newcastle faced three very strong teams and no weak ones because they had such a low ranking. We avoid that. Consider that Newcastle faced two teams that are in the semi-finals of the CL as well as one team that got as far in Europe as the top three teams in the PL.

    An absolutely ideal year to reach CL for the first time.

  5. If Emi is also out in the return match, I hope Joe Gauci sits on the bench. Should it end in a penalty shootout, we can swap him in for Olsen.

    Olsen has only saved 3 out of 33 penalties. Saves 0,5 out of 5. ( on par with De Gea)

    Joe has saved 5 out of 13. Saves more than 1 out of 5

    Emi has 7 out of 36. Save 1 out of 5.

    We'll probably get something at Brighton and against Liverpool - that puts us on 69, leaving Spurs needing 6 points from their next 4 to take it to the final week (I say final week as they play game 37 in midweek against Man City). Their next 4 are Arsenal H , Chelsea A, Liverpool A and Burnley H.

    They'll batter Burnley, but the others are not easy. Spurs are so open, that I can't see them frustrating teams in the way that we did at Arsenal and Palace did at Anfield. They only play one way (mate) and that leaves gaps - Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea (as we saw last night) thrive when they're given space to play into.

    Spurs have 18 points to play for. Difficult games. We got 15 points from the same games, only lost at Anfield. 

  7. Here are my likely outcomes of the rest of the games for us and Spurs for the rest of the season:
    Aston villa:
    Brighton 1-1
    Liverpool 2-2
    Palace 1-1
    Tottenham: Spurs goals first.
    Arsenal 1-2
    Chelsea 2-1
    Liverpool 1-1
    Burnley 3-0
    Man City 1-2
    SheffU 4-1
    

    Both teams 70 points and 77-56 goal difference. If this ends up like this, which it certainly won't, then Tottenham will take fourth place in the number of goals scored in away matches between the teams. So we must have a better result than outlined. Most realistically, we take one more point. Win one of the ties and lose one, finishing with 71 points.

    We are starting to see what he is going to be like for us  . Kai Havertz height but with Nigel Reo Coker strength and JJ dribbling 

    Gave away the ball a lot, as always.

  9. Adebayo and Lokonga out vs ManCity, hope they are out against us too.

    Town boss Rob Edwards says that Daiki Hashioka and fellow defender Alfie Doughty after available for Tuesday night’s FA Cup fifth round tie at home to Manchester City.

    Japan international Hashioka has been impressing in training recently and could be in line to feature for the first time since joining from Belgian side Sint-Truiden in January.

  10. If we are to stay at Villa Park, we should ensure permission to build out both the DE and the North Stand. I am afraid that if we build the new North stand first, we will have a huge problem with building out the last stand.
