When I thought I was out, it pulled me back in again.
-
I think it’s going to come down to the last day, needing to beat Brighton for europa conference. I fancy it still.
-
I’ve always respected and admired Manchester United. A fantastic club with knowledgeable, loyal and not at all fickle fans. I wish them the very best for Brighton this evening.
-
I have never understood the beef with Purslow. Made a dodgy appointment, but two strong ones have also come in under his watch. Hes a very strong communicator and good Chief Exec for us. Beth Rigby is a very tough interviewer to be taking on, it takes a very assured person to come out of an interview with her smelling of roses. He’s done well there.

Mammoth job the man has done. I love how fans are now clapping when the ball is recycled and passed back to the centre backs. We have been educated.

"The Terrace View" - Upper Holte Lounge
DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth replied to OutByEaster?'s topic in Villa Talk
I mean I get the ST increases even if I don’t like them, and I really like the guys running the club but this seems like a misjudgment to me. -
Completely agree. Times are tough and people have had their wallets squeezed, but we can’t expect the club to carry additional expenses. I have the upmost sympathy for anyone who can’t afford to go anymore - I still have a season card but the cost of travel from Devon means that I only make 12/13 of the fixtures a season now.
-
A sad reality that despite the owners generosity and wealth, we are fundamentally a business still.
-
I had exactly that moment yesterday when he dribbled in the box to set up Ramsey effort off the bar. I almost bemoaned him for trying too much. I will learn the error of my ways.
-
A full back with end product. I’ve heard about these players but never seen one at Villa before
-
A point against Newcastle would be very useful in the bigger picture for Europe this weekend, especially as Chelsea play Brighton, Brentford are away at Wolves and Liverpool travel to their bogey team in Leeds. Chelsea, Leeds and Wolves wins would really propel us. Us winning on top of that and it’s really on.
-
I doubt there’s many players with a better YouTube compilation of goals and audacious flicks than Traore. His side foot finishes, volley or placed, are quite brilliant.
-
Would have to suspect there’s a decent pay packet attached to this tournament. Have no real issue with playing fellow premier league teams in pre season, but from the outside you can see why the PL appears an increasingly closed shop.
-
I think finishing 6/7th will mean far more to us than European football. I can see the next level of the owners ambitions being pushed on.

Ratings & Reactions: Leicester v Villa
DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth replied to limpid's topic in PL: Leicester a
Third with a cigar in our mouths. Sensational work by everyone. -
The team spirit is pretty special at the moment. What a great moment for Bertie after the last few months
-
I jest in the post match euphoria, but if that result happens we can dream!
-
Let’s call him for what he is. Absolute genius. Didn’t think I could love a manager like we did Smith. There will be tough times ahead, but the man is a class act.
-
Think there’s a typo in this thread. Should it read top 4, not 7?
-
I’ve said it in this thread many times, the man is like a flawed genius. Equally likely to be Messi or Messy. What an absolute entertainer, and what a finish that was.
-
Was actually a really decent atmosphere for two league one clubs, the highest attended game in Europe actually this weekend. Argyle got batterer, and Azaz didn’t really have any impact when he came on. That said it is difficult for any player to make an impact when the game is already over as a competition.
-
I’ll be there watching Argyle. Excellent that we have had two potential starters tomorrow for them tomorrow. Tyreik Wright also joined in January. Without being a sour puss, I don’t think Azaz will ever be where we currently are at but it’s a great opportunity for him and I can see him doing well in the championship next season - with Argyle again hopefully.
-
God tier manager doing God tier manager things. Said it before, but when you get a competent leader results usually follow.
-
Life is better when McGinn is lovable. The best £2.5m ever spent.
-
As a Villa fan it feels quite unusual to say but, we are actually quite good.
