    40 year old Tyron Woodley who was on a bad losing streak and was cut from the UFC. Nearly 50 year old Anderson Silva and Jiu Jitsu fighter (grappling, not boxing) Nate Diaz. I'm not sure if you're saying that MMA is shit? It's a different sport. A boxer would get destroyed in MMA, just as MMA fighters don't generally do well in boxing. Make no mistake, Dillon Danis came here to troll, not fight.
  2. JoshVilla
    Dillon Danis doesn't represent MMA in the slightest. The majority of MMA fans think that he's an embarrassment to the sport (he's only actually had like 2 or 3 MMA fights). The only reason anyone wanted him to win is because people hate the Paul brothers.
  3. JoshVilla
    If anything, this just shows how awful Logan Paul is. Danis has basically let him have free shots at him for 6 rounds and he still couldn't finish the fight. These YouTubers are embarrassing.

    Lots of UFC news today! This one is not good: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mmafighting.com/platform/amp/2023/10/11/23913573/ufc-usada-parting-ways-2024-usada-claims-relationship-became-untenable-over-conor-mcgregor-situation So basically, because USADA wouldn't budge for Dana's golden boy McGregor, the agreement between the UFC and USADA will be finished as of 1st Jan 2024. I'm sure that McGregor's piss would've blown that lab to pieces a few weeks ago. He should have to abide by the same rules as everyone else. The UFC needs to move on from him anyway. I think he's finished at the top end of the division (whatever bloody division he thinks he'll be fighting in, anyway).

    Paulo Costa is also out. Usman steps in to fight Chimaev. Crazy, but a bit weird. Is Usman going to fight at Middleweight now?

    What an absolute badass Volk is for taking that fight on 11 days notice. I have a sneaky feeling that he might just do it this time...

    Seeing a lot of Leeds fans on social media that absolutely cannot believe that Leeds (Elland Road) hasn't been chosen, especially over Birmingham (Villa Park).

    Great player on his day. Though, I still can't help but think of him kicking that ball boy.

    Could see this happening from a mile away. A lot of City fans are spoilt brats in the football World. They had their shiny new toy when Grealish signed, now they don't want to play with him any more and have moved onto the next one.

    Would have taken a point if offered before the game, as we never seem to beat these at their place. We'd better do them at ours though...
  11. JoshVilla
    I feel like there'll be a few injuries on that pitch this season.

    This competition is like any other cup competition for us. It doesn't matter what league you're in, or your standing in that league. Anything can happen on any given day and it all comes down to who wants it more. With us being one of the favourites to win the thing, we'll probably see a lot of teams set up like Mostar did yesterday, especially at Villa Park. You could see exactly what their gameplan was. No press at all, just stick everyone behind the ball, be resolute in defence and try to make the most of any breakaway that they can get. They did have a couple of moments where they almost caught us out, and it goes to show that it's still a tough competition to win. It may be sneered at as a third tier European Cup, but it's worth winning.

    Wolves are shit, and we should be beating teams of their level, but it's still technically a derby of sorts and they always seem to raise their game against us, especially at home. Our recent record against them is shite, but I'm hoping that we can finally break the curse. I'm sure that Emery didn't have a good record against Lopetegui, so now that he's gone maybe he'll give O'Neil a bit of a masterclass. It'd be great to go into the international break continuing our good form, especially as we often tend to come out of the breaks looking a bit ropey. 2-1 Villa.
  14. JoshVilla
    He had a much better second half. He was losing his man constantly in the first half. Any sniff of an attacking opportunity for Mostar was coming down that side. He was much better when shifted over to the left.
  15. JoshVilla
    I was in the upper Doug Ellis, in P3. The atmosphere died in the first half after the first 10 mins or so, but I think that was reflective of how flat the game was. To be fair to Mostar, I think the executed their game plan perfectly - they stood off and let us try and break them down, but our movement off the ball was pretty much non-existent so it made for a pretty dull affair. Second half was much better from where I was sitting. We woke up after we made the changes and it definitely gave the crowd a big lift. It'd be brilliant if we could keep the intensity in the stands even when the game's gone flat, as you see with the European teams. As other posters have said, it seems to just be a thing in English football generally, not just a Villa thing.

    Buzzing with the win. A real game of two halves. To be fair, Mostar executed their game plan perfectly in the first half. Frustrated us, silenced the crowd, slowed the game down. There was no press from them at all, they were happy to sit back and make us break them down. We were way too static in the first 45 until we came to life a bit in the last few minutes. Second half, Mostar defended like their lives depended on it, and fair play to them. It did feel like it was only a matter of time before we took one of our chances, though I was fearing the worst on 90 minutes. Can't fault the character of them to keep pushing right til the end.

    Got a birthday card from him when I was a kid. That's going on eBay if Ollie doesn't get a call up...

    It does make me laugh every the club claims that the new badge "didn't have the desired effect". The fact that they haven't used it anywhere except for the kits and have gone into the season with 2 badges hasn't exactly helped...

    I don't really know anything about this side, but I've had a look and they've won the Bosnian Premier League the past 2 years. Modric played for them at one point, 20 years ago!

    Met Steven Wilson today at his album signing in Manchester. What a lovely bloke. Took the time to speak to and listen to everyone, which is awesome when things like this have a habit of feeling clinical and rushed. His new album is rather good too!

    7 goals in the Villa v Brighton game. A very significant game between two high flying sides looking to break into the top 6, and very unexpected result for most people. MoTD starts with Spurs v Plop.

    Like we all said, it's gonna take a loooooong time to sort that pile of shite out. They can start by getting that exercise bike out of the bogs before they can talk about promotion.

    I'm hoping that we start with a pretty much full strength team. If we do well and have a decent lead, then start making changes and resting key players for Wolves. We slipped up against Warsaw, and we can't afford to give ourselves another mountain to climb. As much as I think the the Premier League is the priority, I REALLY want us to go all out and win this thing. We're out of the Carabao Cup, so that's slightly less fixture congestion. Let's just go balls out and try and bring a winnable trophy home this season.
  24. JoshVilla
    We have a pretty favourable run of fixtures coming up. Wolves, West Ham, Luton, Forest & Fulham. The Villa we're used to would normally piss these fixtures away and we'd come out the other end frustrated that we've missed a big opportunity to rack up some decent points. If we're wanting to really cement ourselves in the conversation for top 6 and higher, we need to keep our foot on the gas in that stretch and shake off our old habits. Thus far, we've won the fixtures that we've been expected to win, so I'm confident that we have it in us to keep it going. Win the games you're expected to win, and pull off a couple of "shock" results and that puts us right up there. We will have shit results this season, as everyone will (look at City today), but if we can get some general consistency over the season, we could be in for a very fun one.
