Losing.

Mate.

After 90 minutes, zero shots on target.

4th round - Aston Villa v Kidderminster Harriers.

Would be fantastic.

Think I’ll pass.

Bruce isn’t impressed either. He’ll need a large naan kebab and all the sauces to get over today.

Incredible knees.

 

Absolutely, I’ll never forget those knees in Basic Instinct.

Sharon Stone is 64 years old in a couple of months. Still a very attractive woman.

He may also have one eye on making the World Cup squad. If he scores goals he may just sneak in.

Any guess which shirt number he’ll take?

Maybe we are looking to build the club's profile globally.  It's the best chance of short term success our owners can achieve, it will build revenue to support future business (and ffp compliance).  Another loan as per coutinho wouldn't be the end of the world...

It’s a fair point but I think we’re already doing this. Martinez would be massive already in his homeland, along with Bailey, Traore, Trez etc. Coutinho will certainly enhance our name and brand.

The problem is places like Asia where the merchandise, fake or not, is dominated by the 4/5 top clubs here. You rarely see Villa stuff over there.

I think we’ll try and cash in on him in this window. Not sure what an acceptable offer would be but can see it happening.

I never said he should be starting games for our first team now. I said that he should be in a position to challenge Cash next season. That would mean being around the first team and playing the odd game. 

KKH showed real maturity beyond his years last night and this loan to Swindon has done him the world of good. Positionally sound throughout, some super interceptions, decent passing and didn’t look fazed at any point. This lad should be ready to challenge Cash next season.

With what we have in our squad right now and when everyone is fit, is this our strongest team?

Hoping for a couple more though in the door before the window slams shut. 

                             Martinez

 Cash         Konsa             Mings        Targett

             McGinn      Luiz      Sanson 

                   Buendia      Coutinho

                             Watkins

Subs: Steer, Hause, Young, Ramsey, Carney, Nakamba,  Traore, Bailey, Ings

It’s not bad is it!

**** all immediately. i think i read somewhere that clubs make about a fiver per shirt

but future shirt deals will potentially be more valuable

Gutting, I just wasn’t sure.  I won’t tell my dad, he now thinks we’ll see Coutinho shirts on every market stall in the midlands!

Just been talking to my dad about this signing.  He’s 75 bless him, but he knows his football and he’s buzzing. He mentioned the volume of shirt sales now with his name and number? Daft question, but do we make much from this kind of thing?

It’s not just the signing of Coutinho but the message it sends out. We mean business.

Smith just wouldn’t have pulled this off and Gerrard will attract big name players.

Back to Coutinho, he’ll want to get fit and back to form in order to secure a spot into the Brazil World Cup team.

What owners we have. Thank you NSWE for sanctioning this.

Really big moment in our history if this is announced today. Regardless of whether this transfer works out, it’s a real statement of intent. Other players will sit up and take notice. 

Suzanne Virdee, Mary Nightingale. 
 

Most female journalists.

Angela Rayner.  As Gerrard would say  “ I’m all in”.

Can I say Kate Middleton as well without some Royal Protection Officer knocking my door down?

Crikey, now that’s a name from the past. He should be about 40 years of age now.
