  1. It's definitely a game of opinions. Yes, Sunday wasn't a perfect game from McGinn but I thought he played very well overall. I watched a few Bournemouth fan channel reactions to the game on YouTube. A couple highlighted McGinn as playing 'fantastic'. Again, all just opinions.
  2. That's very fair to say. I was quoting @avfc1982am saying 'he's been in pretty poor form since he came back from the ban' which seemed a strange thing to highlight after the great game McGinn had on Sunday. Perhaps erratic form, although I'm hoping his last game is a sign that he's settling back into his best.
  3. Time for Acorns on our shirts again, hopefully.

    Unai Emery

    Three fist pumps and then runs to prepare for the Bournemouth game. That's so Unai.
  5. Possibly because the match report, including the one yellow, doesn't include the shoot out?
  6. As already stated in this thread, it appears suspensions do carry through but the yellow card count is wiped.
  7. Still no formal news on the yellow(s) and potentially missing the first semi leg?
  8. I saw an onion bhaji in a bap in the Holte End.
  9. It's great to have a good alternative in a position and to have a manager able to see the change is necessary. Hopefully it will also keep Moreno determined to prove his worth when/if his chance comes around again.
  10. If the previous Villa crest/badge consultations and subsequent result are anything to go by, I'm expecting the new stadium location to be an average of our fans' home position. Unfortunately our sizeable support in New York and the rest of the US is likely to skew the result to somewhere just off the coast of Cornwall.
  11. Yes, but there's different ways of increasing revenue. Increase stadium capacity via a move or expansion of Villa Park to get more fans paying, let's say £50 each, or keep demand exceeding supply and charging say £70 for those fortunate enough to get inside an undeveloped and undersized Villa Park.
  12. True fact - his brother is the best mate of my brother and we all grew up in houses just a couple of minutes walk away from each other.
  13. Yep, I'm half expecting us all to turn up for a future season's first home game only to see an A4 sized poster stuck outside every closed turnstile stating - 'Aston Villa FC have moved and will announce the new stadium location in a few weeks. You are welcome to follow the team's progress via multiple media outlets. You have not been charged for reading this notice, however future unnecessary visits to Villa Park may be charged.'
  14. Imagine the conspiracy theory nutjobs if it does happen!

    The NSWE Board

    The new board appointments make me slightly less nervous that whilst NSWE were good in supporting Emery's team to achieve footballing success, they were also happy to milk more cash from those of us of an increasing fan base that could fit inside an unexpanded and increasingly outdated Villa Park.
  16. As unlikely it is to happen, surely they wouldn't buy the businesses but pay for relocation costs and any temporary loss of business compensation.
  17. Ouch, look at those two arrows! It's never a good sign when the percentage chance of your success doesn't fit inside the bar graph!

    Unai Emery

    I expect Unai will have had a dozen or so scenarios he'd planned for, including the dream of rotating players at 4-0 up, helping today's game and in turn, the return leg. Emery would be frustrated that every unconverted opportunity would likely see his top choice scenarios disappearing.
  19. Agreed. Of all the players, I suspect Ty is the best prepared mentally to bounce back; both from previous experience and a very strong will to play and perform.
  20. Plus the overall value of the club increases because the annual revenue has increased (from the extra ticket sales and increased hospitality a new stand provides). I'm still at a loss why the new North Stand was canned. If, and it's a big if, the next 6 months sees Villa announcing a bigger plan, I'll be saying 'ahhh, that's why'. If not, it still points to the club squeezing every drop out of us in the same, or very similar, conditions.
  21. If I had to guess, based on the information and images made public - Buendia fairly likely, Mings less likely.
  22. Exactly this, I agree. Anything else is irrelevant or superfluous.
