I think we were at maximum FFP this summer and so have no leeway to spend, except borrowing from the summer transfer pot.

Great start to the season: - 4 wins out of 5. - Best goal difference in the league - Second in the table having played same amount of games as everyone else

He’s still carrying a knock. Apparently two weeks to fully recover.

Because it was really smart and not many managers would have made that call.

That’s interesting. Glad Villa are finally investing and building a proper structure around our youth.

That is a good article. Very interesting to read about what goes on behind the scenes.

So Amey make profit from it during the good times, and can chuck in the contract at will during the bad times? Making the whole contract risk-free and overall profitable for them? Surely they should be made to stick to the contract terms at all times, not just when they feel like?

Its so cheesy, but fantastic. Loved it.

Serious question - is it likely that Democrats win the presidency, and control the Senate and Congress after this election? and if Democrats only win Presidency and 1 house, will the next 5 years just be complete gridlock of government with nothing getting through because either side will block each other?

What would actually happen if its a tie?

yes true, less random people going about their own business compared to Witcher3 or RDR or Skyrim. But very enjoyable - just finished it today after around 50 hours gameplay. The story was a little messy and confusing in places, but overall a strong 8/10.

Not sure why Nottingham uni have suspended the students - what their students do in their private life in their own home is none of their business. If they’ve broken the law (as is clearly the case here), then that’s a police matter, not a matter for the supplier of a unrelated service that they’ve paid for.

not a chance... He's already worth £30-40m and probably worth £50-60 by the end of the season if he keeps this up. Chelsea will know we want him, and can demand a premium price.

We are still in the running to take over Arsenal as the new Invincibles!

sign him up! every 1% improvement helps, and Villa have been terrible at throw-ins for far too long.

When does the rearranged Man City game slot in?

Any post match interviews that can be posted or linked here?

That cynical short-pulling for the yellow card. Needed someone with those sort of smarts for a while. Whilst i'd prefer if no-one did it, every other team does, so its about time we caught up with the modern game.

so calm, so confident, makes the defence in front of him calmer as well.

Most improved player award. Fantastico!

Tactical game but they having the better of it so far. Our defence doesn’t seem too stretched though

But I don’t think Newcastle will last the pace of the season, whereas if Man Utd keep doing badly there’s a very small chance that we could finish above them

Seems like a fair prediction to me. It could easily be 2-0 tomorrow... though of course it could also be 0-2 to Villa. So difficult to predict after Leicester’s off day against West Ham, us having a miracle score line, and an international break for 2 weeks. The score could be anything

So you could have moved a decimal point in the buyback clause when Man City try to take Luiz back from us?

I think it’s all going to depend whether we have an effective vaccine in the next few months or not. If a vaccine is on its way soon, then we are in a holding pattern waiting for it and that seems right to do. If all the current research turns out to have no end product or is still years away, then we will have to go back to some sort of normality, including more deaths of older/BAME/ill-health people. Continuing lockdowns till say 2025 might end up causing more deaths from economic factors than Covid will Of course a fully functioning track-and-trace system would be best of both worlds, especially as we are a smallish island that could track the virus more easily than most of Europe/USA/Asia.
