  1. Paul Merson says that Toney should go to the euros instead of Watkins. His reasoning is that Kane will play every minute of every match and Toney is better at penalties so he should be there just in case a game goes to a penalty shootout. Within the first paragraph he argues that having a good back up striker would be irrelevant because if Kane gets injured, England won't win the tournament anyways. It's the most asinine football opinion I think I've ever heard. It's bait, but even by Merse's standards it's stupid.
  2. With a bit of luck he can become our all time PL goal scorer by the end of the year.
  3. Getting up before 6am to go to work. Set my alarm last night for 5:50am and not only did I have to get up and walk briskly to the bus stop, once I get to work I'm going to have to do things. They're going to make me. It doesn't seem right. Being up at this hour should be enough.

    I just wonder if you can coach instincts. I remember a 19/20 year old Adama Traore arriving with all the power, pace, running, dribbling but when it was time for decision-making or positioning he was found lacking. We all argued that if we could coach him to make the right decisions and introduce the ability to look up to find a pass he would be the business. He's still playing PL which isn't a bad outcome but I feel like they're still trying to teach him to look up 9 years later. What I'm unsure about is whether or not Duran can be coached the soft attributes.

    I don't see the potential. I think he's strong and powerful with a bullet shot, but that's it. I think he has poor positioning, poor instincts, quite clumsy, no finesse. The comparison to Bertrand Traore is so wide of the mark. More Adama, and even then his dribbling is not even close. I'm usually wrong and look forward to this post being quoted, but i don't see it and if we got an offer of what we paid I'd take it.
  6. Duran makes being a striker look very very difficult
  7. So what does the Villa crest look like then?
  8. That Rodgers one was worse than the tackle that got him the yellow
  9. I was looking at the wrong knee on the replay. Please just be a bit of a jarred knee. Please stand up
  10. I'm sure this Israeli ref will be measured and safe in how he distributes cards and other punishments and discipline in this game. He has a right to defend this game to avoid it getting out of control. Also he has the right to kill 5 brown children in the crowd.
  11. You can't win a tie in the first leg but you can lose it. So 0-0 is fine
  12. He could well have it by the end of this season.
  13. I bet that when Emery goes we get someone even better. Gareth Barry or Jordan Henderson or someone like that that can get the best out of our midfield
  14. I bought this, gave it 2 hours, and have now returned it for a refund. No difference from FIFA 22, so I'll just keep playing that, and not given EA Sports any more of my money. I don't want to support a game that is designed to trick children into giving money to buy packs with their parents' credit cards. It may as well be one of those mobile games that get advertised on TikTok now.
  15. You can't rule that out. Oh my god. Game is gone
  16. Surely daughter? Surely... No? Nope. Fiancée Flattering pose
  17. According to Redknapp it's not a red card because he's not staring at the player's ankle as he smashes through it. Caicedo might be looking away, but he can feel an ankle crunch under his boot, and seems to have no issue with it, or make any move to stop it. But he's looking away. If he can't see it, it's not a foul. It's serious foul play regardless of where the player is looking.
  18. I remember when Villa were tied with Liverpool on 5 League Cups. Now Liverpool are going for number 10, and we're still stuck on 5. How did that happen?

    As good as we could have hoped realistically
  20. Stop shaking your head Zaniolo. You lost the ball
