    We are better than this lot and we will win this one. 3-1 to the Villa. Any reason why this at 1pm not 2pm?

    The point that I was making is that he had a 20,000 majority at a seat he had held since 1979, and once he left the party the majority of the votes followed Labour, not the person.

    Do a chelsea and sell Coutinho and Hause for a combined 30 million and get away with it.

    I was a bit surprised he was given a start. Emery clearly has him part of his long term plans. It is an exciting opportunity for him to progress as a player.

    I don't think it makes the most difference as people overwhelmingly vote for the party, or more accurately the leader of it, rather than the individual. This is often shown when for whatever reasons an existing MP resigns from their party to run as an independent and then almost always loses. Like Frank Field last time when he was actually a brexit supporter in a leave consitutency but still lost once he got thrown out of the patry.

    He scored the winner when Roma won the Conference a few years ago. A repeat performance would be nice.

    Every time I feel slightly disappointed I just remember when we lost at home to Barnsley in the championship with 28,000 in attendance.

    Well we are in a better position than Northern Ireland and the Casement Park proposal which looks like cloud cuckoo land.

    A good experience for him. He will learn.
  10. The Fun Factory
    Ouch. Unless they do a Shef Wed V Wycombe job in the second leg.
  11. The Fun Factory
    If we win the second leg then nobody will care this was a non-event. Next week should be a cracker.

    In Unai we trust. The grand master of european ties.
  13. The Fun Factory
    Well we haven't done a Brighton in the first leg and Emery must have thought a draw was on the cards given the line up. We should be strong favourites for the home tie. It would have been nice to blow them away in the first leg but football isn't as simple as that. We got to dig deep now for the next two games.

    Pre Heck announcement the redevelopment was supposed to take 2 years. And for the euros and stadium work is supposed to be finished at least one year before the tournament starts. Therefore in theory we have until May 2025 for a no/no-go situation.

    I think the rest of the western world hopes the republican party recovers their sanity to go back to being a centre right party again.

    I always feel that you need a good clean after coming back from Amsterdam.

    There is going to be a lot of sound and fury and it will be the most depressing US election campaign in history, but ultimately Trump will lose yet again to a doddery Biden. He has failed to win the popular vote in two elections and the midterms were dreadful for him. Plus the economy is doing ok. If Biden was 70 instead of 80 he would be creaming him. As usual, it will go down to about half a dozen swing states with about 500,000 voters deciding the future of Western democracy, so no pressure then. The alternative doesn't bear thinking about.

    Right after I got here I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce and I got egg noodles with ketchup.

    Wouldn't it be nice if the shirt, crest, and new sponsor were all announced by the end of the season, with shirts on sale by early summer? As far as I remember that has never happened at Villa, it's always late.

    Been a been a bit of a frustrating season for him. He really hasn't had the minutes with Watkins so important to the team and then being injured for the last two months. He has played less than full 2 games in minutes in the premier league this season and has still got two goals, but has only one goal since September in all competitions. The boro game was particularly disappointing as it was a rare start and he did very little. Stil he is only 20 and could play a cameo role for us in the run in.

    Just makes the whole thing a further utter irrelevance and the supposed sanctity of parliament is a myth. The reduction on nonprotected departments is insane. Local government will now have had a 20% reduction in spending this parliament alone and just yesterday the biggest council in the land has had to hack £300 million out of its budget. But its a labour council so it's all their fault. The usual screw you approach.

    That's helpful. Shall we not bother with the actual speech now as it is all relayed to the press 48 to 24 hours beforehand? They claim they are working to net zero and freeze fuel duty again while every other western European country are miles ahead of us in EV charging points. Public services are on their knees and they are planning yet another effective cut yet again. It's a total joke of a morally bankrupt government. In the name of god go.

    That is what is sooo frustrating at Villa. We have had this enormous area of land we own on-site just sitting there not making money for years. And in the meantime, comparable clubs to us have done far more difficult things such as buying land and redeveloping or building entirely new stadiums in the 25 years that we have just sat on our hands.
  24. The Fun Factory
    Yes, if they aren't going to do anything with the North Stand at least in the short term they could remove some of the parking spaces and put up more pop up food and drinks facilities on match day, and move the parking to the new academy building,

    Wasn't the original plan 12 games? 8 is still far too many. In another 5 years it will go up to 10 no doubt.
