I don't care about The Golden Boot I do about breaking 20 league goals in a season.  Needs 1 more in 3 games that record has stood since 1981.

Also needs beat Gabbys Aston Villa Premier League top scorer record. Needs another 16 for that.

Had a great season regardless of anything else and he will be busting a gut for the team regardless of personal glory.

We won 4-0 at Portman Road under Bruce Hourihaine Grabben x2 and Lansbury

Why has he got what looks like a microphone pertruding form his shirt above his trouserline?  To amplify the bollocks he talks?

New here, hope this is an appropriate place for this post. Became a Villa supporter in 2011, as all in as someone living in the U.S. can be without yet being able to attend matches (am I a plastic?). I am fairly solid on my contemporary AV knowledge but lacking in deep history. What books would you all recommend for someone in my place? I have searched on the Internet but have yet to find any that appear to be definitive. Would really appreciate any suggestions, especially books that are still in print/won’t cost an arm & leg 

Yot are not plastic you are fantasic for choosing the right team!

Aston Villa Chronicles if you want to go back to the beginning 1874 - 1924

Or try and find the Aston Villa History BBC Video from around 1989 If possible.

I’m baffled… is this good or bad for us? Or do we not know yet? 

As we voted against it I guess we are not happy with it.

The fizzy drink bottles seem to have had a bottle top change now in that they twist and flip rather than come off at least the ones I buy in meal deals at supermarkets anyway!

Interesting how that plays out at Villa.

To be fair they have played us off the park twice at Villa Park this season.  Young quick team that press well.  

They blow hot and cold which is to be expected with lots of young players but they will improve.

They should stick with Poch but they will probably think they can do better and have to start again.

What's he removing to help him kick it? 

Slots shot treatment for Nunez shooting woes

Slick Slot woos Kop after a win

Plop Slot after a defeat

Slot stops Rot after a first win in 10

Slot order orders removal.of Nunez Top Knot in shock move to help striker head the ball.

Are we appealing and trying to get Emi to play for both legs of the semi finals?

Does anyone know if the cost of one of these is a bolt-on to a normal price or, is the quoted price on the site for this seat only? 

Price for the seat mate I believe.  You just get a padded seat central.

2-3, and the first half hasn't finished yet. Defense is overrated anyway

VAR disallows that one in The Prem

I went to plenty of games through the 90s and 00s and clinical accuracy was exactly what fans wanted to counter the incompetence of the refs and linesmen up until they actually got VAR, and now they pretend they never ever wanted a system that could double-check and potentially overturn their decisions.

"All we wanted was the spirit of the game to be maintained", my arse.

The offside rule back in the day was amended so we as fans said "clear daylight"  it stopped those arguments about being level and gave the attacker the advantage. 

Now it's a whim on when they press pause on the video which can be manipulated to suit agendas.

Villa have actually done well with the offside rule these days using it to our advantage.  

However if lines are needed then I think most of us would agree it's level.  

The new tech next season they are using will be interesting.

Third one is about as clear as a penalty gets, unbelievable. The first one is 50/50, I wouldn't have given the handball one.

As always it's subjective so they need to release the audio so we get to hear the reasoning. 

3rd the ref indicates Ash got the ball where evidence shows he did not.  So VAR should be telling the ref he was wrong and sent to the screen.  That was when Forest were 1 down.  

It's dodgy as they asked for Atwell to be changed before the game so they are bound to feel aggrieved.

Stick me on VAR for drawing the lines on that Cov winner yesterday and I would have shown him onside for sure!   That's the argument should be no bias at any level no matter who is playing.

It stinks.

They're a different proposition when Eze and Olise start. Happened only 5 times this season I read earlier. 

Both should be on our radar if we make Champions League.

I thought I'd check out the 3 Body Problem after reading a few positive comments about it, and it's absolute **** garbage. I stuck through the whole thing to see if it redeemed itself, but nah, it's not for me.

The most brilliant scientists in the world, who are unfortunately written by idiots, so they're also idiots.

Obviously it's scifi so the plot is going to be absurd, but it stretched my suspension of disbelief to breaking point 3 or 4 episodes in when:

  Reveal hidden contents

They need to get some data off the ship, but they can't send in special forces because it'll be a bloodbath, and they can't use missiles, because that might destroy the data. So now, they'll just slice the ship into tiny pieces using nanofibre and the data will by pure chance be perfectly safe from it, despite them having no idea where it is, because the aliens want them to find it, k. 

Characters making dumb decisions that make no sense other than to advance a plot is infuriating at the best of times, never mind when they're meant to be the finest minds of our generation.

Agreed thought I would give it a chance its possibly the biggest waste of my time ever!  Annoyed with myself for thinking it might have a pay off!

Eliza Gonzalez is fit that's about it!

Podence ex Wolves who always scores against us and has a worldy plays for them.

Back door entry is for the right girl not Champions League.  Let's get 4th and win the Europa League.
