  1. I pray your intuition is better than mine.
  2. It's ManUre. We aren't in great form. We have injury concerns and a short bench. Ref will give them everything. Not looking forward to this one.
  3. To borrow a quote from Fry out of Futurama: "I used to think Saudi football was real, like professional wrestling... ... turns out it's fake, like professional boxing"
  4. For the last 2 home games it feels like all 4 midfielders are trying to play the same role - and all failing. Could use a Ramsay/Bailey/Zaniolo/Rogers/Buendia to mix it up a bit.
  5. Could have done with exiting the competition without the replay, to be honest.
  6. Irog on for 3 minutes. Could he have done any worse than Kamara for the entirety of the 2nd half? What's the point of 3 mins?
  7. Can't remember our midfield looking so poor. Luiz, Tielemens, McGinn and Kamara, listed in order of horribleness. Kamara looks like a park footballer. I've seen witches hats have more presence.
  8. Our midfield is pants. Kamara is stinking up the place
  9. If Maguire plays, my money is on a Watkins hat-trick
  10. Is Mainoo from ManUre Macheda in disguise?
  11. Is it just me, or does he look a bit like Matt Targett?
  12. First time I have ever given Emery a very poor rating. It doesn't take a lot of research to know that our victory against them last year was largely due to McGinn and Buendia making life hell for Dan Burn. He was so badly worked over in that game that they replaced him after 60 minutes. This game was made for Bailey with an overlapping Cash. Instead, an out of form Diaby and 4 largely static central midfielders across the middle made the starting line-up. Reminded me of Dean Smith and his 5-3-2 experiment - all the attacking responsibility on the fullbacks. Played perfectly into the hands of a Newcastle side that can press and man-mark in midfield. Poor.
  13. I bet Dan Burn still has nightmares of being hounded here by McGinn and Buendia last season. I would have hoped Emery started Bailey against him - he'd have a field day with Cash overlapping
  14. Geeez, Martin Tyler is getting on. For our game against Newcastle: "Bailey and Watkins lead the line" - errr, that's a photo of Diaby. It even has his name. "Isak has scored in the last 3 outings for Liverpool and they haven't won any of those games." Say what? We haven't even kicked off yet!
  15. Yep. Dont stand so close to me. Every breath you take. A few other good songs too.
  16. Still stand by my signature below at the time the majority on here wanted his head. We lost 1 of the last 7 games, including wins against Arsenal and Liverpool - which people unbelievably attributed to McAllistar - to finish 9th despite flirting with relegation through most of the season. Sadly, he never got the chance to prove me right or wrong.
  17. Problem with this video is that it makes sense - to everyone outside Birmingham, that is. I've never been to villa park (and likely never will) and I'd hate to see the ground moved - but can see the sense in doing it. I've never been affiliated with the round badge (despite being Gen X) since I only started following Villa since the early 90's (thanks, Bozza!) But when you talk about a world-wide audience - they are in exactly the same position as me. If your remit is to tap into that market, you will probably end up making decisions that hurt the locals.
  18. Watching his highlights - he looks ungainly and awkward. As if he can't really do the things he's doing (e.g. half falling when shooting). Love it. There's nothing harder to defend against than the unknown. He's not a forward you can easily read.
  19. Fernandez, Antony and Greenwood? Wait... Antony doesn't score.
  20. Remember - Beale was the brains of the duo. Once he left, Gerrard was completely lost.
  21. The guy that came up with the phrase "Sh*t happens", which sold a gazillion t-shirts and bumper stickers. ... can't quite remember his name but he was running across the width of the USA at the time in protest about his girlfriend Jenny, or something.
  22. Been watching the "Get Back" documentary with my 18 year old son who has taken a keen interest in the Beatles. As a result, been listening to the "Let It Be" album, but was disappointed that the album dropped our favourite song:
