    Aston Villa and Sevilla are still negotiating for Marcos Acuña but to this day Villa are not close to what Víctor Orta is asking for. The player already has everything agreed with Aston Villa

    He knows nothing, he might as well have written that whilst doing his paper round posting a copy of the Daily Sport through big Dave's letterbox! (Ok - I'm just jumping onto the trend of shooting down twitter stuff)

    I love a spot of X (the tool formerly known as twitter) mayhem building up to the confirmation of a signing. The worst things that's happened is people seeing when a new signing actually lands for his medical, everyone wets themselves if it isn't announced by the end of that day, the lack of news creates a void then people fill that void with guff (normally engineered by children or attention seekers) - it's hilarious. 

    Pass the popcorn....

    Memorable Film Scenes & Acting Performances

    There are a few scenes in Manchester by the Sea that stand out for me... That one that @sheepyvillian has posted, it's just superbly acted and packed with so much emotion...

    The scene in the Police Station, if you've seen it you know exactly what I'm on about... 

    And the other one that sticks out is when Patrick is having an anxiety attack in the kitchen, that works on a personal level for me being someone who's Dad and Grandfather (on Dad's side) both passed away from heart attacks, found it incredibly relatable. 

    It's a brilliant film definitely worth seeing.

    Weren’t there rumours that Pau also failed his medical? Lol 

    Probably, someone getting itchy feet so they get in there first and claim that player has failed their medical... They then are either correct and claim ITK superpowers or incorrect and we sign world class player.

    Italian press pretty much saying for a couple of days this is a done deal, gazzetta online yesterday saying appointment with the club today (16th).

    Is the plane info as reliable as our old friend the trees?

    With the plane stuff, it's objective info that a private jet took off from Istanbul bound for Birmingham and is trackable on Flightradar24 - it's up to us to fill in the blanks!

    No, will still only be 2.

    - Zaniola hasn't won the world cup.  B)

    I realise that now. I'll go and sit in the corner and face the wall for a few hours.

    Leandro Bacuna has returned to Groningen in the Netherlands at the age of 31, just over 10 years after he left Groningen to join Villa.

    Since he left Villa in 2017, he has played exclusively in the Championship. He never did get to play for that Champions League team that he always thought he could have.

     

    You know what, I'd much rather have a player that overestimates their own ability and believes they can make it to the top (even if it's clear it's not likely) to a player who feels limited or lucky to be at the level they are in. It's just a shame when Leo said it publicly it came across as disrespectful to Villa.

    yeah definitely feel there needed to be a wrap up episode for sure!

    Agree with that, but then there's only a few things to wrap up and not sure how it could be extended to a full episode. Might have made sense to have a montage at the end of the final episode with text like they did with Line of Duty to very quickly tie up the loose ends.

    On this though, some of the performances are pretty good. Idris Elba manages to display the inner turmoil he's experiencing quite well and Neil Maskell has always been a very talented actor, and shows his dark side here.

    3 episodes in to hijack and it's pretty gripping so far but i get the feeling it might lose its way in the middle episodes of the series...unless there's some twists and turns around the corner

    Yeah I really got into this and without spoiling anything it held a high standard up until the final episode and then unfortunately it got a bit ridiculous with a number of plot holes and logic gaps. Still, switch off your brain and it's still good fun. 

    Ps - I watched the final episode whilst on a plane flying back from Canada 😉
