  1. Time to switch to an Optus mobile? I'm lucky that I've been with Optus the whole time so I now get every game live and free effectively.
  2. I didn't expect i'd listen to as much of that interview as I did, really interesting stuff. I don't really have the time to watch wrestling anymore but i'll probably follow AEW pretty closely, hopefully they can get a bit of a bigger foothold than TNA managed and really challenge WWE. Certainly getting the likes of Jericho and Moxley on board is huge
  3. For a club like Liverpool its the Premier League 1st, 2nd and 3rd IMO. Haven't won the league in the Premier League era and it's absolutely the elephant in the room for their gigantic club status. I reckon 95% of Liverpool fans would trade their CL title for the PL title.
  4. Anything can happen in football but I would be absolutely stunned if Jack went anywhere this offseason. He's living his boyhood dream and he's up there now with any Villa hero of the modern era for mine. If we stagnate, I wouldn't begrudge him moving on eventually to play Champions League football, but I think he'll stick with us for a few years yet.
  5. I'll admit I haven't followed the Premier League closely since we were relegated, but are Bournemouth playing the second comings of Nesta and Cannavaro at the back or what? How the hell could someone that good be allowed to go out on loan?
  6. I still love the idea of him but I haven't watched him since we were relegated. Checking the stats, he scored 49 in 101 appearances for us and has managed just 21 in 89 appearances for Palace. Fallen a long way.
  7. Interesting. I wonder in that case who negotiated the deal with Kappa. That sort of reads like Fanatics would have done that wheeling and dealing with Aston Villa signing off on what Fanatics negotiated. Not really fussed either way, I expect we'll have a good kit. It is a unique arrangement though. It was different with Luke because he hadn't produced a football kit for a major football club before, but I do wonder how much our kit will differ from other Kappa kits in terms of cut/material/template, if at all.
  8. I "emotionally hedge" just about every week against the Villa. It's the only way I regularly bet on sport. Traditionally it's quite lucrative but the win streak absolutely destroyed my online betting account. I'll be dumping just about everything i've got in there on Derby to be promoted, just waiting to see if the odds go further out for them.
  9. That Children with Cancer patch is clearly covering an old sponsor who was originally printed but isn't continuing, but i'm fine with them doing that. It's not worth throwing out thousands of shirts. Other than that it just looks a bit unfinished because of the white sleeves with no sort of trim.
  10. People still think of Kappa as the ridiculously overbranded shirts from the 90s and early 2000s when they've been doing really nice stuff for a few years now. They'll be fine.
  11. Okay I quite like that, but to pull it apart: Blue sleeves are back. Shorts look blue as well though
  12. I don't mind the black section at the top, although it feels like something Under Armour have been doing forever with their templates. The sponsor though, christ. It makes me thankful for 32red tbh.
  13. I don't mind this as an idea actually. Start paying indirect free kicks inside the box for every single handball and only pay penalties for particularly bad ones where a shot is blocked or someone has their arm stretched out. I'd be interested to see it trialed.
  14. I totally disagree that engaging in debate with a UKIP member is helpful at all. For starters, they aren't interested in an intellectual debate, it's completely meaningless to them or how they run their campaign. Secondly, giving them a platform helps to legitimise their views with the mainstream, which is why we've had these fringe far right groups able to get footholds in the mainstream all over the world. Any potential victim narrative they get out of an incident like this is massively overshadowed by the entire country laughing at them, which spreads quickly and works to delegitimise them.
  15. Yep, it'll be a shock to the system to have to get used to being played off the park by sides worth more than a billion pounds every 3rd week. Whatever happens from here, the Championship has been a really enjoyable league to watch us play in.
  16. Steer you legend. Awful game, who cares though! COME ON VILLA!
  17. Johnstone is gonna save like 3 penalties here, I can feel it in my bones
  18. What have we had, 12 corners? Just whip them into the box ffs. We've barely had a dangerous ball into the box all day
  19. We have to fire a few balls in against a tired defence. Can't believe Kodjia is still on the bench ffs
  20. Grealish needs to get off the left wing and get into the centre of the pitch
  21. Kodjia has scored what, 3 in 4? Get him the f*** on the pitch
