Spotify are giving away a Google home mini for new and existing Family subscribers. 

Just claimed mine, couldn't believe it. 

He's got a mistake in him, bit I can't help but feel that it is through a lack of experience. The mistakes can be coached out if him. He overplays at time, and that decision making can be improved. His defending is mostly pretty damn good and I like a defender that can play the ball.He hit a few decent diagonal balls today, gained possession in the defensive third a few times, won pretty much every challenge and got caught in possession and gave the ball away in a dangerous area. 

Mostly really good, but the mistakes could cost us.

And clean sheet bonus

It's counts as a shot on target, but he failed to keep a clean sheet.

I thought he was decent today, took his goal well and played with real confidence. I'd sign him for £6 million, I think that represents good value for a player of his ability. 

I think the government could say tomorrow that we've left the EU, but actually tell a big lie and keep us in the EU. I would suggest that a good 80% of the people that voted for Brexit wouldn't notice that we'd actually remained. Let's just call it a day now, shall we. 

I would punish the fans and club by serving them a stadium ban. 

That reaction of cheering makes me believe that a good many of them don't acknowledge that it was a cowardly act, and don't understand that it is wrong. Cheering moronic acts like that only makes them more likely to happen.

In scientific terms, he's what's known as a Unit. 

He's quick, agile and strong. Seems to read the game well. Given his injury issues and lack of game time he can only get better. 

He's had a massive impact already. He was immense today, he has a desire to win every ball, he makes good decisions and is a physical specimen. 

I'd be delighted if we could sign him. 

Anyone got a link to Jack's post match interview? I've seen snippets on Twitter where he says today was the best day of his life.

Looks like a steward was arrested for trying to boot Jack as he celebrated with the crowd. 

Mind boggling stupidity. 

We need to start playing now, it's been poor. 

Whelan needs to come off, he keeps banging it out of play.

We shouldn't come back out for the second half. Can't imagine any of our players wanting to continue playing in front of this crowd, and can you blame them?

I thought the reaction was perfect. Dignified and professional. 

Birmingham will want to count that lame ass punch as a shot off target. What a pussy, he couldn't even score a hit with a cheap shot from behind from an unsuspecting victim. 

Either way, the fact that the Birmingham fans cheered that has shocked me. It's scary how stupid so many people can be. It's sport, it's a game, it doesn't really matter, it's meant to be fun. 

Every bone in my body wants Jack Grealish to score the winner today and celebrate with the Villa fans, an iconic image we'll all remember. 

I would love that.

**** that, I didn't have one. I'm not one for being a sheep and doing what everyone else does.

I insisted I wasn't going anywhere so we stayed at mine, played card games, and got drunk.

I didn't have one either. I'm not a boring sod by any means, I have had my share of piss ups and didn't think it would be fun. 

We did quite a few things different in our wedding day, not to be contrary, but because we wanted to enjoy it. 

I was being tongue in cheek, I don't expect her to resign. I also don't know how much of a faux pas it is if I am honest, but I do know it is something that I wouldn't say. 

Amber Rudd has called Dianne Abbott 'coloured'. I don't believe there was any real racist intent in it, but goodness me.

I think there is an institutional issue with racism in politics and in our society, and this is a good example of it. She didn't mean to demean Dianne Abbott, but she did, which shows real ignorance. 

What a shame for her, she was hoping to resign as a matter of principle regarding Brexit, but it looks like she will may have to resign again in disgrace. 

Because they're introducing a price rise, does that give an opportunity to do the old cancellation and then discount routine. I am genuinely starting to feel that Sky is much too expensive, we watch mainly terrestrial and Netflix.

Yes, thanks.  it’s hard to tell/ be sure if that’s genuine or sarcastic. Apologies. My bad. If it’s an inference that it’s all made up, “nothing to see here”, then we disagree based on what we each see, if it’s genuine then fine. Whatever, have a good night, you’re a good soul.

Genuine, not trying to mock you at all. I abhor any form of racism, and sometimes I struggle to see how anyone could not see it the same as me. But racism isn't always overt, it isn't a visible factor in my life. I don't live, work or spend any time with anyone that will ever say something openly racist. Or intentionally racist, the grandparents sometimes say something 'old fashioned', but never use a racist slur or the like. So sometimes I assume that everyone is offended by racism, but they aren't 

To some people, they can turn a bit of a blind eye to something they find mildly problematic because idealogically they have a lot in common with them. A bit like how most MPs voted to approve gay marriage, but some didn't. Slightly different issue, but one that obviously displays the polarity of prejudice. If you oppose gay marriage, you are homophobic, as you do not believe that gay people should have the same rights as straight people. However, enough MPs voted against it, something I should imagine made their colleagues feel uncomfortable. But most of them remain in the same party as each other.

Maybe that is the problem with both parties. I dunno, that was a bit of rant.

Because unlike Labour, who are fractiously divided, arguing and losing MPs over anti semitism, the tories are not doing the same over islamophobia. Politically anti semitism is a major obstacle for labour ever getting elected. The same is not impacting the tories. There’s also the issue of the Tory leader not being seen as part of the cause of the problem, whereas the labour one is.

I'd not thought of this, good point..

Then boy is worth more than money. What a pleasure to see him play so well and captain us. It's my dream and it's his dream and that's special.

Whatever happens I am delighted to see Jack captain Aston Villa.

GlastonSpur has alot to answer for regarding the Spurs hatred. He used to post on here and wind up the locals. 

He seemed like the kind of guy in his mid 40s who still lives at his parents house and has Spurs bedsheets and blinds. 

And they had bollock chops as their manager for a while, and that never goes down well on here either.

Hello

Finally a bit of clever politics from Labour. 

I think he's doing okay, this season isn't a free hit but I don't think Bruce or anyone else would have got much more from the current squad, especially given the injuries to key players. 

For me, the style of play he is able to implement is a lot more likely to get us promoted than either of the previous two managers, who both failed. 

I'm looking at this from the boards perspective, I don't think they employed him to get us promoted this season at all costs and I think they have a summer overhaul in mind and Smith to help with changing our style of play.
