Baggies v Arsenal tonight could be interesting if they take it seriously.

Interestingly that is where Purslow started so maybe he is to thank for what is happening at Youth level?

I trust the people in charge to know what is best. I think as an option off the bench for us now Wesley is off and Davis is injured would be best but then I could see him playing for a team like Derby who are short of players. It's exciting times again to be Villa fan after the little Jack wobble for a couple of weeks.

Thanks for looking into this and before anyone mentions the shirt retiree he is an acception to the rule. When a team is so bad and has no options but to thrust kids into the first 11 then you get the Bellingham situation. Luckily for the the unwashed he held his own and proved he was an undoubted talent then jumped ship to Dortmund to give them a stay of execution! I would think he was introduced slowly to Dortmunds first team but I do not have the facts JPB Carney and Archer are all around the first team learning and getting minutes here and there is the way forward at that age for career longevity just look at how Rooney burnt out.

Played like a quarterback spraying those passes fairplay to the lad.

Happens all the time in life though people leave a job for more money elsewhere then realise it's not about the money it's about being happy and return to the job they left. Relationships too people go back to past loves. Would not surprise me if Jack wanted to come back one day question is would we have moved on since then. Ashley coming back is good business on our part it was not a sentimental signing it filled a gap we had.

I think we all agree and would love any team other then those words removed but it's a question of who do you think will win the league so unfortunately it will be one of them. Maybe fans should commission a trophy to hand out to the team that finishes the highest each season minus those 6? A memento so people never forget what they tried to do and the unfair playing field. (Apologies thought I was in the who do you think will win the league thread)

Chose to play for Jamaica.

I am with him on this I think all games Friday to Monday are the same game week so should be on the same fixture list. Tuesday to Thursday is midweek footy.

Good Morning I think Pep will overthink the big games against Chelsea Liverpool and Utd and that will cost them. Tuchel has his number already 3 games won so we will see. Chelsea for me.

Sitting next to Philip Schofield on the left of him! I love the lookalike game!

Perfect player to play on the break which is Nunos only tactic it seems!?

Indeed but if they keep performing like they are those fans will soon jump ship. Man Utd lost fans to City and Arsenal will lose fans to Chelsea. Even locally Wolves found a load of extra fans that supported Arsenal Man Utd Liverpool before 5 years ago!! They will slowly change back though

Random when Sam Johnstone is wanting out the baggies and they could probably get him for 20 million easily.

This was sent to me for a song for Bailey. From Marry Poppins but at least it's original in a footy sense!? Super Leon Bailey our Jamaican wing magician Flying down the wing he’s gonna scare the opposition Flies past one and glides past two, you know he’s on a mission Super Leon Bailey our Jamaican wing magician

As alluded to before they are a great team but their players are boring as **** for marketing. Jack is box office and he will bring those casual fans/women to go see him and sell shirts.

This is a site for Villa fans though so your argument falls short?

Las Vegas Villa make it so Wes!

Very Leeds

I think loads of teams are in the same boat though. Cannot read too much into pre season I think that first game first goal is crucial it's all about confidence. We have some experience now so hopefully that tells against Watford. Need Ollie to be fit though obviously to run their defence ragged.

Yep interesting

M6 M69 = Leicester

Indeed they do which is why the Chinese are now making copies of all the classic kits! Picked up a Holland 88 shirt a spot on rep! Why Adidas do not do it themselves with their back catalogue I have no idea.

I am a big fan of Adidas kits from the 80s I just think when the ditched the trefoil it's all went down hill. The Zenith of kit design was Euro 84 not just the Adidas kits but Hummel and Le Coq Sportif too. Every team seemed to have a classic.

Trefoil Adidas Originals yes. Modern Adidas I would not touch with a barge pole.
