  1. My father's mother lived with advanced Alzheimer's for about 20 years in a nursing home. The first time I saw him cry was after he returned home from visiting her and she no longer knew who he was. Just a totally barbaric disease that I pray doesn't steal any more of my loved ones, or steal me, for that matter.
  2. Spot on, @NurembergVillan Exactly how that should be handled. Let it die a quick death. Impossible to know the actual context. I think there should be more portraits/murals of Villa legends in and around Villa Park, so players (and younger/newer fans) can become more familiar with the faces of Aston Villa heroes. I regret not having seen Sid play. His stature at the club has been apparent all the while. When I started following Villa in 1994, 1982 seemed like ancient history. But retrospectively, it was really just around the bend of time. So I do feel connected to Sid, through you guys, and I thank you for that. And I wish the absolute best for Sid and his loved ones.
  3. That's a very nice tribute from Stan.
  4. Damn, he's way too young to be afflicted with dementia. What a tragedy. It's got to be particularly heartbreaking for his family and close friends. Life is just a **** dice roll.
  5. Just saw the Belgium highlights. Looked like a good game. I quite like those matte black England shirts with the retro numbers and no names. The little swath of color by the ribs seems pointless though. Good to see Tielemans bag a brace even if the goals came off bad goalkeeping and defending. Hopefully it helps him score more goals for Villa. Bowen is a pleasure to watch. I really wish we'd beaten West Ham to the punch and put him in proper claret and blue. Bellingham is the man. We should sign him when his contract is up Absolute force of nature. If Snoutgate actually drops Ollie for the Euros will Villa fans go to the games?
  6. Troy Townsend is good.
  7. It feels like Villa haven't played in two months!
  8. I hope we get a decent run of consecutive Champions League campaigns before Villa Park is vacated or bulldozed.
  9. When distilled down, it is that simple, and I was aiming for simple.
  10. Because Russia has been killing Muslims for decades.
  11. While I still think the Etihad is nothing more than a bigger and drabber version of Ricoh Arena, I've come to appreciate the Emirates Stadium. I used to equate the two, but Emirates is so much better.
  12. Why does this thread keep getting bumped, is there leaked info, or is it all just speculation based on the scrapping of the redevelopment plans?
  13. Honestly would not be surprised if this was a false flag like those apartment bombings 20 years ago. Blame it on Ukrainians to drum up support for the war.
  14. Ohtani back in Asia just in time for his interpreter to get canned by the Dodgers for sports betting and stealing money from Ohtani to cover his losses. Play ball!
  15. Track and Field must be the top priority sport in JA. But they could and should be a bigger player in CONCACAF.
  16. Also mind-numbingly conformist.
  17. Another brilliant game winning assist. He is starting to find a bit of form and we need him.
  18. Does this mean we'd be losing to Fulham 6-0 if we played them today?
