  1. NEC talked about alott, what about Alexander stadium ? Obviously in a different format but is that council owned and could we develop the site? Its in Villa area too
  2. On the pensioner debate i actually think this is something that should be kept if not for now in your mind but for the future, gone are the days of rich pensioners in my opinion as time moves on with pensions decreasing at both government & workplace level and even inheritance being hit by increasing care bills for many for parents etc. I really think in 20 years time you will see a completely different demographic in that area and for what its worth BTW I think we should continue to discount and support at the younger ages too
  3. I was sat in West Ham end right by there and he definitely aimed it towards the Villa fans, I called it out to my son as soon as I saw it
  4. Im not mad about it, just thought all a bit embarrassing for him
  5. One thing I will say having been at West Ham yesterday in the home hospitality is that you can see where we miss out on revenue eg 15k less seats and various lounge/hospitality offerings One I was in was seat, 1 free drink, lounge use and is 2.5k per season so you can see how that soon adds up
  6. Hes been crap, one goal doesnt change that and running round shushing fans is pathetic - Go on a run of scoring and playing well and maybe but facts are he has more yellow cards than goals and assists, usually for stupidity
  7. I would say 7 points a piece from that for both of them........ If you then gave us 4 points from Wolves/City/Brentford/Arsenal then that would leave it at Villa 60 Spurs 60 United 54 Which would have two of the toughest games left done with ahead of Spurs then playing their tough run and us probably needing to take 9 points from Brighton/Bournemouth/Palace/Liverpool/Chelsea to get at least 5th
  8. Thought it was decent in the main last night !
  9. Players will be chomping at the bit for this and will all want to play, go strong as possible, win the game and make changes - UTV
  10. Emery said recently there were 7 better teams and fans didn't like it, i think its more down to language barrier re the term better but Arsenal/United/Spurs/Liverpool/City/Chelsea and Newcastle after CL qualification all have much bigger resources at the top end alongside huge revenues, and the point Emery has been making is we are punching above our weight being in the thick of that group and significantly better in certain areas. We have 10 games to go and if we take 12-13 points in that time we will finish 5th for the first time since 96-97 season so even if we dont get 4th we have done something we haven't done in nearly 30 years alongside the opportunity to win a trophy which is very much alive at the moment I think some of the over reaction i have read and heard since yesterday has bordered on entitlement and although i get the disappointment in parts has been embarrassing
  11. I would go with Tim/Luiz v Ajax (Rogers left/Bailey right) with Mcginn next to Watkins as that works really well then at West Ham we bring back in Youri up top - Definitely sink or swim time now
  12. I thought it was a yellow but lets be honest a bit like Kamara v Brentford its just stupid, watch Konsas reaction to him where he points to his head - Shows you what the players thought to
  13. Zaniolo looks like a fan who has used his pride reward points to win a 20 minute run out at Villa Park, complete waste of space
  14. Think we have to go full strength with the double edged aim of a trophy but also the co effient points to open up the 5th place for champions league which will in turn make premier league qualification easier
  15. Huge game now (arent they all) looking at previous seasons and teams around us it feels that 7 w ins from 12 will do it but with games we have left it means Luton although a tough game have to be one of those wins Team news big for both sides in terms of predictions as they have a few out and we are waiting on Pau news Tight away win is where im sitting now 1-2
  16. First bit of team news is they will have Sutalo suspended after being sent off last night!
  17. Ajax Thursday....Spurs Sunday........................................Its almost like we didnt play Man City on the Wednesday night and beat them and followed it up on the Saturday beating Arsenal Ajax an hour on a plane, much better than going to Molde for example
  18. Need to stop this small time mentality.....We want to get in the CL and we are scared/moaning/being victims because we have drawn Ajax Great draw, they wont want to have drawn us and if we get through its one of the bigger teams out Up the Villa!!
  19. It will be another interesting summer, champions league seems the easiest route out alongside a big sale and I suppose where the Ramsey sale comes in due to him being an academy player, as someone said above though its crap for teams like us as how are we ever meant to go forwards if we have to keep selling players January probably told us alot to, Dendocker going out purely to get wages off books alongside Azaz sale for some profit - The new players in will all have been on low wages which is where ultimately the biggest costs come from and not the transfer fees
  20. Becomes must win now, record is poor down the years v Fulham but got a feeling we may have a performance in us after yesterday. 2-1 Villa!
  21. Its going to be an ACL isnt it Thought he played well yesterday, Mcginn doesn't look as comfortable in centre mid either so not sure what plan would be
  22. I thought Gerrard was a good appointment
  23. Draw dictates the replay selection for me, a good draw and you go full strength, if we get city away then is what it is
  24. U16 right back, Jacob Green
  25. Full strength and see where it takes us game by game in my opinion
