  1. Nice goal, but he's about as mobile as that tanker that got stuck in the Suez Canal, with an even bigger turning circle. As others have said, fine to bring on to see out the last ten mins of a game, but as a starter, not remotely good enough.
  2. He was awful, beat his man once that I can recall. Absolutely woeful tonight when he came on.
  3. He's clearly miles off being fully fit, and is a shadow of the player we know he can be. Unfortunately, we don't really have any alternatives, so he's going to have to mfind his form, and quickly.
  4. He's been dreadful. Getting subbed against Sheffield United at 0-0 tells you everything about his form. One goal (against Luton) since the end of August, not remotely acceptable.

    He's got to learn to play regularly, and he's never going to get that at Villa at the moment. He's a liability rather than an asset when he comes on, and he needs a big amount of game time to knock off his many rough edges. I can't remember many youngsters who ultimately make it by only playing 5 minutes here and there.
  6. My thoughts exactly. Can anybody who was there describe what the crest they were presented with looked like?
  7. My mate who was at the game and doesn't look at anything online said about the big centre circle flag thing last night "what's that supposed to say?"
  8. Having seen it I thought it was fair enough. He's preventing the keeper from moving properly ny holding on to him.
  9. He's been poor for weeks now. Either rightly left out of the side, or subbed like tonight. Your most expensive, attacking star player shouldn't be getting subbed when the scores are still 0-0 to the bottom team.
  10. Not bad at all, didn't look out of place. The disappointing result wasn't any of his doing.

    I like Cash a lot, but was really disappointed with him tonight. He slowed our play down every time he got the ball, and was always looking to lay the ball off to McGinn behind him. I think he gets harshly criticised when playing out of position wide right, but he was in his preferred right back spot tonight, and just wasn't very good, sadly.

    He's just a big daft carthorse that we massively overpaid for. Send him out on loan to the Championship or League 1 in January so he can play regularly and try to learn some discipline. We need much, much better as an alternative up front, he's absolutely hopeless.
  13. Poor again tonight. He's obviously very, very rusty still. Hopefully Tielemans is fit for Man U so we can introduce JJ a bit more gradually.
  14. It's all very odd. Announce a new investment partner specialising in financing capital projects, then cancel the expansion project a few days later. Club president hinting to fans that they can't spend £100m on players AND a new stand.
  15. Whatever mate, after every game it always takes an hour at least to get to the M6. On the several times I've been to Old Trafford, it's much, much easier to get away from.
  16. Old Trafford is on the edge of an industrial estate used to dealing with a high volume of traffic with three main A roads two minutes away. It's not surrounded by narrow Victorian streets like Villa Park is, that are are all mostly two narrow for two large modern cars to pass comfortably. Last time I went to Old Trafford (when we beat them 1-0 under Smith) I was back him in Leicester in less time than it usually takes me from Birmingham. Being close to the M^ is all well and good for Villa, but getting to it is a bloody nightmare.
  17. I can't see that anybody has said it is? It's the logo, the topic title makes it clear it's the logo, and we're giving our opinion on the logo. Is that OK?
  18. Personally, it's a visible rpresentation of what a useless chancer Heck is.
  19. They haven't just enlarged something too much have they, with the weird pixellated bits? I mean, that would be amateurish beyond belief...
  20. Doesn't look any different at all. ie, still shit.
  21. I know nothing about graphic design, but I know something shit when I see it. You can't read it. The letters don't look like the letters they're supposed to be, the numbers are a mess and in the wrong position and it's a weird mix of old and new, with the old being nothing like anything you'd see in 1874. It's just a really badly designed mess, basically. It just worries me that Heck, who is supposed to be good at this sort of thing, thinks that it's even vaguely acceptable, both in terms of the actual logo, and the half-arsed amateur way it's been revealed, with a low key tweet from his personal Twitter account and half a mention in his absolutely dreadful video. All of this doesn't present much of an idea that he really knows what he's doing. I think all he's done is can Purslow's effort, then take the same brief to a different design agency. There's not going to be any significant overhaul of our brand, it's just him marking his territory like a stray cat. He doesn't appear to get 'soccer', at all.
