  1. If Talksport is anything to go by I swear that ALL english clubs have been knocked out of Europe. More interested in JT and his racist spat with Anton Ferdinand and a boxer yet again failing a drug test.
  2. Say what you like about the round badge debacle, but the lion does look far more rampant that this pathetic tweak of the Lerner neutered one.
  3. Craig is our very own Rob Warner's best mate and Spark Academy partner!
  4. Good article by John Towley regards the new board members. Talks alot about Comcast and stadium improvements, interesting that Michael Angelakis still acts as a senior advisor to the senior executive committee at Comcast https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rebuilding-aston-villa-four-people-29052175
  5. My guess is that only champions league teams get the trefoil on the third kit.
  6. If we sign him this summer he'll be a champions league player next season
  7. Neuer has to come steaming off his line as soon as Kroos plays that ball. Emi saves that from Vini Jr.
  8. Can Graham Poll come out of retirement and ref the Chelsea v Spurs game on Thursday?
  9. Ah that's okay NSWE will just buy Costco and we'll have as much bog roll in bulk as we want.
  10. I guess because UEFA see clubs competing in Europe as a sides who get more global exposure, TV money, hence the knocking of more revenue compared to sides outside europe. Surely the UEFA cap should be based on having the players you register for their competitions wage cap equal 70% but you can have the 85% for domestic competition? That to me is a balanced compromise.
  11. IIf I look at that chart that Maguire tweeted it's all about certain levels and current squad strength as well. So we can spend £211m compared to, say, Everton who can spend £250m, or Brentford who can spend £353m. However, for what these clubs need to spend to get to where we are you'd say they'll get short changed, whereas for our £211m and the revenue from CL, Adidas and Betano sponsorship and more, we can buy fewer players but higher quality as the squad is at such a higher level, along with a higher level manager and coaching staff. We've players out long term to come back as well. We're now at the level in fairness Spurs should have been over the period it's took us to get up and get to this level of competing, ie great squad and now can have a summer and January strategy. Hell we've shown this season we have... A couple of big deals in the summer and look at gems in January. The plan is in place, as shown this season by the Don and Monchi. They won't be phased by these new changes. They've an obvious plan. Rogers is proof of that. And if you're a player. Do you join champions league Aston Villa and play for Emery or Everton and Dyche or Brentford and Frank having seen how much Emery improves you as a player. Look at Ollie, Dibu, Dougie, the quick rise of Rogers JJ, I could go on. We'll be fine.
  12. The key to this chart is, okay, let's say we can spend £211m compared to say, Everton spending £250m, I know who I'd rather trust to find bargains and unearth gems, Monchi and Don Unai. Plus we're putting things in place to raise revenue anyway. It's crap but there are ways round it with great recruitment for one. It's what Monchi does.
  13. I'm hoping it's precautionary considering Olsen will be starting against Olympia is so resting Dibu and giving Olsen game time makes sense.
  14. We've guaranteed Europa league with that point and have every chance of champions league. With this squad that has already been depleted before kick off. It is a superb season no matter what happens in the next 3 games plus the European games.a Let us appreciate the incredible job done this season.
  15. Target Cucurella and it'll be a cricket score
  16. It's exactly the starting lineup if had gone with. Solidity in midfield and Youri or meatball getting forward is exactly what the Don has gone for and what I would have gone for. Diaby off the bench when they are tiring.
