I’ve had a 4 hour daily work commute for the past 8 years and fill much of that time with a variety of Villa podcasts. Villa Talks is now my favourite. A big thank you to Omar and the other contributors for your work and output.

Targett was good tonight...

had received quite the flak from certain posters in the run-up to the Plop game, where are they now?

San Francisco.

I hope he channels his local rivalry energy correctly and doesn’t get an early bath.

Beautiful restored Archibald Leitch designed wooden seats? 

If only we'd done something to keep ours in the Trinity Road.

Except they didn't seem beautifully restored on that close up of Sawiris. Unless the 'burnt out stand' look was intended.

It was hilarious. Bowie

 

Especially after saying that Bowie had such a beautiful slim face and then the cake looked like a an overweight wrestler after his 1000th bout.

Freddie Mercury was more Frank Sidebottom!

I thought Matt Lucas did well for his first show.

We need to find our shooting boots first!

One of the small, ongoing pleasures throughout the season might just be Arsenal fans publicly wondering if they sold the wrong keeper.

In fairness, I don’t think Arse fans or the club itself wanted to sell. Martinez was obviously ‘well set’ with a decent contract surrounded by his work ‘family’. Credit to Emi that he’s enough belief in himself to no longer accept being second choice. Long may Villa and Emi benefit from that confidence! 

Any news on whether Matty Cash is fit enough to start the game tomorrow?

He may well have been one of our options if Jack decided to leave

Very possibly. Different type of attacking midfielder but then there aren’t many players who fit the Grealish mould.

100%

Hopefully the Brum Mail have more information than a single tweet from Ian Taylor. If not it could just be that Tayls didn't bother tweeting about the 5 we conceded!

Of course it is. Did we win? I've heard 1-0 and 1-1.

I'm uncertain anyone on VT is sure. It feels like Huawei will have more information on this match than us Villa fans do.

Is the 'radio silence' because the clubs don't want knowing the scoreline to influence not to bother paying for the 10pm showing?

There have been plenty of banana related incidents in football. All of them unsavoury. 

Like a plantain?

Fig and Olive, Middleton, cracking food, great service, discreet staff...

Can’t believe VTers have missed this - count the chairs lads - multiple signings incoming!

You’ll find the vast majority of goals scored in football are due to some form of ‘poor defending’.That’s at every level.

Alan Hansen got paid very well for years just to tell us how shocking the defending was in the Premier League.

We are signing Watkins.

Great.

The ‘Speculation’ thread tag is already annoying me.

I’m really looking forward to this thread moving away from how poor Southgate is and returning to comments about how great Jack is playing for Villa.

Is that Ryanair..?

Yes. That’s what social distancing looks like on all their flights.

Maybe we are further down the line, but with the squad back together by the end of the week/early next week I’d like new players in from day 1 getting settled.

It may transpire that we announce some signings this week and I hope you are right. But I feel we need to get a move on.

 

The club will be trying to get players in as soon as practicable. Unfortunately it’s not that simple to get decent options realised.
