The Fun Factory

Generally new songs catch on first at the away days, and the get replicated back at Villa Park. Once we have had a few away games with the new signings some new chants will start turning up.

Tammy is quality end of. If he gets games he will score.

tonight?

Visionary musician and/or lunatic.

So what has happened to the big flag in the Holte End before kick off? Not covid appropriate? Promises about storage that were not kept?

Could have just got a job for Umbro? ' I am over the moon signing for Umbro as it is such a big kit manufacturer. When I was growing up I dreamed that one day I would be sewing for them'.

The atmosphere yesterday was rated as 'vibrant' on bbc sport website. There are far worse atmosphere's at other premier league grounds.

Given the players missing and being a goal down a good point But 4 points in a easy on paper first 3 games not brilliant Chucky did well for his first start and probably only knew of it very short notice Ashley Young as a DM now I have seen everything Buendia scored a great first goal Bit concerning how isolated Ings was up front second half Ref was shocking Interesting to see what team Smith will play if/when all of our players are back Hope Konsa is ok, I don't know why he tried to run it off should have brought Hause on straight away Not much else to say about the game

People looking in keep saying that we have had a decent window after he shall not be named left. This time I will trust them and hope we have a decent season. Decent as in coming anywhere between 8th and 12th.

Please sir can I have some more?

Comparing to our team from last year if it is stronger or weaker depends quite a bit on Grealish being injured for 10+ games or not. Seriously I don't think we will know until much later in the season.

The level of denial is reaching Grealish proportions. We are done for the summer

Given the current trends, he will end up staying at Juventus. And sign a new contract. And then get sold in January.

Probably because I am scarred by years of near misses and failures, but I have a nagging feeling that this could be an opportunity missed for Villa to add some extra quality to the team. We are cash rich at the moment and seemingly a lot of clubs, certainly in other leagues like Italy and France (less PSG of course), have some serious cashflow problems.

Our glorious canal network

Others have said Smith doesn't really do a DM even when he was at Brentford and Walsall.

I think people over analysed Purslow's comments when we sold Jack. I took it as face value that basically we were done on major signings, and nothing since has convinced otherwise. We might have sniffed around but probably have been put off by vastly inflated asking prices because we have a stack of cash in the bank. I hope we don't regret it.

I think Sanson could well be a collective imagination by us Villa fans. Does he exist? Did he ever exist?

Lock this bad boy.

I don't think this thread is hot more like a cold curry from the night before that is congealing on the kitchen table.

I think Swansea are skint with the parachute payments well and truly gone. Think that's way Steve Cooper left.

Conor will be a loan as the is no way he would be earning the amount he does now at any Championship club.

If a Premier League club wanted him he would have been 10-15m more. It's a bit of a glorified loan for him really. I expect him to be back in the prem after a couple of seasons.

We didn't beat this lot when we were in the Championship did we?

I hope not
