  1. Someone posted in the match thread we were playing like Wimbledon from the 80’s/90’s and they were spot in with regard to the first half.  It was dire, punt forward and hope for the best constantly.  
    No Martinez rolling it out anymore, it was hoof whenever possible.

    I like to think our players are better than that, because they sure aren’t suited to that style of ‘play’. 
     

    Time to leave Steve.

    What would actually happen in this situation? If all lenders say nope, then are you forced to sell? House re-possessed? I  must say I'm completely ignorant to the implications.

    Energy costs alone could absolutely be more than the mortgage for many households by Winter '24 if things keep going the way they are, so surely this sort of situation would become relatively common. 

    I've paid the mortgage without issue for years-I will just stay on the mortgage I am, the fixed rate will end and I will be at the mercy of the standard variable rate.  I don't believe that lenders can just cancel your mortgage.

    The energy costs are going to significantly impact on my ability to stay on top of a rising mortgage however and there will be a time next year when my wage may not cover my outgoings.  Bad times.

  3. This is going to get messy. 

    My mortgage is fixed at the moment until March 2023-to change now will mean a hefty repayment fee and if I wait until nearer the time I’m then unlikely to pass the affordability checks for a new mortgage due to the rising costs of everything else and the wife’s business which has been bumpy during COVID.

    There are plenty in the same boat who will just have to move onto the standard variable rate and see how it pans out.  With  predicted rises that is not good. 
     

     

  4. Why haven't any pundits or media worth their salt pointed out the ludicrous decision to make McGinn captain?  He is the weakest link in our midfield (I know there are several) and it's baffling to imagine he is going to start every game.

    I've not spoken to a single Villa fan who has been anything other than completely perplexed by the decision to make McGinn captain so why aren't the media saying the same?

  5. The music through the tannoy system was so loud again on Saturday it was utterly ridiculous.  You can't even hear yourself sing, trying to whip up an atmosphere is pretty impossible with the music blaring out.

  6. Not sure why people are starting to argue about this.  Against Everton he looked like dynamite - following his injury he appeared nowhere near as fast however and dare I say it, in some matches 'slow'.

    However, he's clearly over that and now looks fast again which is good for everyone.  I'd imagine he will start against Bournemouth as things are at the moment.
