  1. He's been very consistent at for many a year, which always led me to believe he wasn't a fan.
  2. I noticed some aloof comments in the "Aston Villa Crest" thread, about how we live in an era where people have "contempt for experts", which were verging on the apeal to authority fallacy. So I thought I'd post this here. This amusing documentary is just one example of why sometimes so called experts draw contempt. A self taught recluse from Bolton (who lived just down the road from my uncle), fooled the British Museum and antiquity dealers for years. Armed with supplies from B&Q and a garden shed, he became Britain's greatest ever forger.
  3. Sales. Put it on an Adidas shirt, sales go through the roof, et voila, set it in stone for the next 15 years.
  4. It shouldn't incentivise such sales. There ought to be FFP concessions for young players being developed from the academy up to the age of 24-25, depending on how many PL games they play. That would be a great way to incentivise homegrown talent.
  5. Just another drop in the ocean of marketing "experts" appealing to the lowest common denominator, in this case potential fair weather fans. The only thing to do is not buy any products with the new badge on, but i suspect most fans will get their wallets out anyway. That's why they think they'll get away with it.
  6. To be fair, people aren't trying to stop him from doing his job, they're trying stop him making a big balls up of the badge.
  7. I called this back in June: Heck will put out some cheap tacky plastic badge. Simply dont buy anything with the new badge on. That's the only way to get the message through. Maybe Heck thinks that he can just do as he pleases because he expects all the fans to get their wallets out when a new shirt is put out. Don't like the badge? vote with your wallet.
  8. "Trust the experts", apparently. I kinda get the sense that those who moan about the roundel are also those who moan about claret shorts
  9. Dewsbury-Hall, is a good shout to strengthen the left side and add creativity. 8 goals and 9 assists for Leicester so far. He can also play centrally too.
  10. The U-turn on the roundel is even worse given that the badge was born from fan consultation. It was a big middle finger to the fans, imo. It's also interesting that a minority of fans who dislike the roundel, label it as "nostalgia", despite the fact that of all the badges Villa have had, it's the only one that's actually worked effectively. Yet whatever the badge will be they still want the same old Lion Rampant.
  11. If City came in at that price I'd snap their hand off.
  12. Hopefully it will force a buy for a left sided midfielder who can create play on the left wing, because nearly every RB who plays against villa is having an easy time. Can't rely on Digne alone, all he ever does is pass backwards. Luiz poor without out best midfielder playing alongside him. Ramsey makes us look like we're playing with 10 men Watkins giving the ball away persistantly for the 3rd or 4th game in a row. Laboured build up play yet again, inviting pressure. All on Emery this one. His away record is still mediocre. Why he didnt change things earlier when everyone but him could see it going wrong is bizarre.
  13. 68mins still playing like we are in 2016, and no changes! utter garbage
  14. Can't rely on officials giving much. Need to rely on creating chances, which we did little of. Too laboured in going forward for most of the game. Just as we had stepped a gear in the 2nd half, the 2 most attacking players were taken off. Bizarre sub decisions.
