  1. No we didn't. But that wasn't what you stated earlier and what I replied too.
  2. Nice kit, really like it, won't buy it, long live my long sleeve Acorns / Nike home kit.
  3. Its bad times for society when XL is seen as a normal size.
  4. I've just realised why he does that stupid hand thing: JL. He's 28 going on 15. If my son behaved like him I'd make him go the Sty for a Tuesday night game as punishment.
  5. I didn't know they'd bought Alli out right. Thought it was contract to end of season kinda thing. I'm not convinced by Gerrard, but I'd have him every day over Lampard. True story.
  6. Does anyone listen to the Villa View pod? The guy that is sometimes on, Ty Bracey, says "mate" more often than I've ever heard anyone say a word, ever. Closet bluenose?
  7. Top 10. Absolutely has to be. Anything else, unless there are catastrophic injuries would be abject failure.
  8. That speaks much more to your knowledge of European football than it does Pep' glorious scouting regime. You are, however, forever and always, the Don of the academy kids knowledge.
  9. He absolutely is not better than Mings. But as a squad option he's exactly where we are as a club right now.
  10. I want him to captain us for years to come. He gets it.
  11. Presses more than Gabby. Slower than Gabby. Finishes chances the same as Gabby.
  12. Are you debating with yourself here?
  13. If I was dating who he's dating I'd be making tributes to myself too.
  14. They won't sign those three. So we're all good baby!
  15. Arsenal. My aim is to be above Arsenal. I don't see a huge amount of difference in quality of squads, they overachieved last season I think and this year will revert to 6-8 position. I think they're an interesting barometer for how we measure our season.
  16. New contract. Play him in the position of which we scouted him and I assume bought him for. Watch him thrive. There's a player there, no doubt. (Sell for quadruple in two years. Boom!)
  17. Gotcha. I thought you were calling him an idiot for the gesture to your daughter. The DUI makes a lot more sense!
  18. I hadn't seen @Laughable Chimp's post before I wrote mine. Almost identical!
  19. We stayed up by one point, right? So, were his goals more important than Targett's last minute goal against Brighton, Mings' against Watford? Or any goal where we won the game by one goal. Or, what about any of Reina's saves? Mings' blocks? Defensive actions that won us points? The idea / notion that Trezeguet kept us up is baffling and does a complete disservice to the contributions of others. (Perhaps if Trezeguet hadn't been so poor at the start and middle of the season we'd have had even more points? Maybe).
  20. If having sentiment in football meant we kept Trezeguet, I'm delighted there's no sentiment in football. Why is it "sadly"?! He's not even close to Premier League level. He ran a lot, and is a lovely bloke. Sweet. He's made an absolute mint here, will continue to do so and has already achieved more in sport than 99% of others. The romanticism centred on this guy would nourish Randy Lerner. Its **** mental.
  21. This is similar to how the NBA salary system works. Once teams are over the cap, they get taxed on that money and the surplus goes to teams below the tax. Golden State Warriors are historically high above the tax at the moment. But won the championship. So it works!
