  1. Cool. I get the click bait stuff. Nebulous unverifiable comments like ‘we’re considering a bid for’ or ‘villa are turning to so and so’, but reporting an actual event that didn’t happen like a meeting, could they not get done by the pcc for that? That’s demonstrably false.
  2. Thanks man, you have made me feel a bit better.
  3. The Mirror are reporting that we’ve been in talks with Sturridge. That is quite a specific statement for clickbait. That would be a massive mis-step in an otherwise quality window for me. I wouldn’t want him anywhere near the first team.
  4. It was all pretty believable until you said ‘special segment on motd’. They’ve always hated villa, they’d put us on bbc2 when everyone else is on bbc1 if they could.
  5. Can’t stand Shane Long. Remember watching him on TV when he was at baggies diving like an absolute twunt and thinking that the only time I wanted to see him in a villa kit was when we swapped shirts at the end of a game after we’d beat them 8 nil.
  6. Yeah, not the place. Back on topic all faith in DS, and Given the number of incoming players, which will take time to bed in, I certainly won’t be giving him any stick during the first couple of months of the season, even if things don't go out way. Think we’ll really see the capabilities of the team during the second half of the season.
  7. I get where you’re coming from, but how many teams have fan bases that say ‘defensive football, wasting time, kicking the opponents in the nuts when the refs not looking, long speculative balls over the top to a clod-hopping journeyman, thats what we’re about. That’s the **** FC way’. Except Wimbledon, obviously. All fans think that there is a historical imperative at their club to play the best football ‘the world has ever seen’.
  8. Don’t really understand the affinity thing. It only really exists in the fanbase as far as I can tell. The main mistake that MON made was to misjudge the fans and play a weakened team in europe. That’s really what did him in, and all that talk of ego, personality etc etc wasn’t much of a problem when we were beating Arsenal and we were fighting up in the champions league places. As someone above said, the only thing that matters is results. End of.
  9. Now I know how we met FFP. We need a photo of Deano in a purple chinchilla jacket with a feather in his hat.
  10. Yeah but he’s less of a cockwomble than Ronaldo, and he has silky smooth hair. Does that mean nothing to you people?
  11. Forgot about Tish. We need to sell his ass. Not like that. Stop sniggering.
  12. This. The option to be a bit more defensive against the top teams would be useful. I think with our players, we could have a pretty effective Plan B counter attack when we’re under the kosh
  13. Why does being a defensive midfielder/holding midfielder mean you can’t pass a ball? The way I read the comment was that we won’t play a DM because our central midfielders can handle defensive duties. Well if you plan to have Grealish and Mcginn in our midfield, and they’re doing defensive duties, then they are going to be held back. You need a DM, holding midfielder, anchor or something to get the best out of our already offensive minded midfielders.
  14. Disagree. That would stifle the effectiveness of both Grealish and Mcginn
  15. I know that was funny, but I cant help feeling deep sadness on Mr Assman’s behalf for the name he inherited. You’d just start sobbing everytime you filled in a form of some kind.
  16. Both sides had bags of character though. It was no hardship following Villa in those days.
  17. Brian Little’s team was great on the ball. Used to love watching them. I remember the Tommy Johnson goal away at Middlesborough in 95-96. https://youtu.be/l4NUjz8zMR0 Alan Wright’s goal in that game wasn’t too shabby either
  18. I’m here. Wasn't panicking but concerned. You have to admit that the business we’ve done since then has been pretty unprescedented. Nice of you to rub it in btw.
  19. Have to say I was worried at the sheer amount of work we had to do in the market a few weeks ago. Hats off, can anyone remember a more coherent and strategic acquisition policy than we’ve seen this year? I can’t. It’s all terribly exciting. We may not yet be world beaters, but it looks like there is a real plan in place and that we’ve done due diligence.
  20. So i’ve been away for a few days. I gather that nothing has happened.
  21. Bloody hell is he a full back? he's nearly on the opposition's goal line most of the time. Hopefully he will fit in with the way Deano sets up.
  22. Not keen myself. Massive step down from last year's effort imo. Hopefully the 2nd and 3rd kits will be better. The blue. It's way too light.
