    I can't stop watching that. There's a very brief silence as the ball leaves his foot before the explosion of noise. Absolutely superb.

    I took my 13 yr old daughter to the Newcastle game - her first at Villa Park - she loved it. On the way back to the car she said "Dad, what's a rocket polisher?"

    I've always been a medium/large. At my request I asked for a XL shirt for a recent birthday present from my good lady having seen the warnings about sizing. The result-it's still too tight-the way it grips the stomach is ludicrous. It's going back.

    Thought it was a poor scrappy game much like last week. The ref was an abomination and partly responsible for why it was like that. Brentford's time-wasting towards the end was ridiculous. Glad with a point given the circumstances.

    Whilst I have got a ticket I can confirm it is without doubt an appalling system. It likes to take you round in a loop, take ages to refresh, and at one point it loaded 4 tickets for me before telling me that there was an error as too many tickets were selected. They club clearly need to invest some of the Jack money in a decent website/ticketing system.

    How long do we think it'll take to reach 3000 pages? Not sure I can be arsed to stay up to welcome it. Why doesn't everybody stay off the thread and let the forthcoming announcement correspond with page 3000.

    I remember my first drink.

    I don't see who he'd gets in ahead of if Jack, Buendia and Ollie are fit, particularly if Bailey comes in. I think he's decent but his body language indicated he was disinterested last season. It does show how far we've come in the last couple of years though to even be linked with the likes of Martial and Bailey.

    My mate at work today (also a Villa fan) told me that we had been linked with a move for Anthony Martial from Utd this morning. I have to say I haven't seen a single thing connecting him since I returned home-I expected to find this thread buzzing with gossip. Did I miss something or is it pure nonsense based only on the fact that they have signed Sancho?

    You’re right, I still wouldn’t want him. Just shows occasionally though these cast offs do work when you get them at the right time and if they have a point to prove. Why would Winks or Alli want to move now they have a new manager to impress anyway?
  12. claretman
    I can’t be bothered to read back and I agree with the sentiments about not buying other teams casts offs but occasionally they work. Paul McGrath anyone? Dodgy knees, heavy drinker-a massive gamble albeit a bit cheaper. We would have gone nuts if we’d have signed Lingard yet look how good he was for West Ham. I think we’re concerned about these links with other clubs because Drinkwater and Barkley were shite.

    Just going back through the thread!

    That is a joke.

    I've yet to speak to anyone who thinks that Southgate is doing a good job and that Grealish is being treated fairly. When we do crash out, I really hope the tabloids turn the heat on Southgate just like they did with Graham Taylor, Bobby Robson, Steve McLaren et al.

    It's Clive Allen I think. Ex-Spuds striker.
  17. claretman
    We all know that this is going to end a draw.

    I think he would be more valuable as a sub when we are struggling to break a team down and are in need of something a bit different against tired legs. He's too inconsistent and loses the ball too easily. He is however better than Trez and AEG; all need upgrading IMO.
  19. claretman
    The corners are so bad it’s unbelievable.
  20. claretman
    Should be winning, therefore we lose.
  21. claretman
    What the actual **** was that from Cash? Unbelievable.
  22. claretman
    F U Pep you gonad head.
  23. claretman
    Wow this ref is a grade A bell.
  24. claretman
    Unbelievably boring to watch. We need to try and pass the ball to each other when we actually get it rather than lumping it.
  25. claretman
    I get that, it's just all a bit meh. We are just so average and insipid it feels like it's not worth bothering. Of course we will carry on and we will carry on supporting-I just don't feel the pain of the loss I normally would.
