They have sold a reserve goalie to Southampton. Hes just had a loan with Pompey. Joined City three years ago from Shamrock Rovers. Never played for City... ... yet received £12,000,000 for him. Insania.

You've doubled down. I respect that. Couldn't disagree with it more, as with many others, due to much of your opinions being complete waffle. However, you've gone for it and that's to be lauded. Let's leave it there. UTV.

Ah okay. "Talksport" changes everything when it comes to experts!

Which experts?

Bournemouth away. The most polar opposite possibility to local derby at home?

Like Watkins, Mings and Jack?

Wolves at home please on August 6th. Raucous atmosphere, sunshine, beers, my sons birthday and we **** owe them for that utter capitulation last season.

Okay, here we go... On what planet is the CEO of Seville remotely bothered about Aston Villa? It's absurd. They consistently win European Competitions. We, I think, do not. Further, "no Jose, you're about the dollar". The article you've read literally states they turned down selling Diego Carlos to Newcastle in January, (which I'm assuming would be for more than we paid due to the Saudi Tax), because they couldn't find a replacement. The polar opposite of "all about the money". Seville are one of the best run clubs on the planet. The CEO has zero reason to "fear" his supporters. They either already have a replacement for Carlos, who they'll sell for X amount more than they paid for him in X amount of years, or they'll buy one this summer and do the same. La Liga has a fairer distribution of money than the Premier League I believe. One of the reasons why Barca have struggled financially so much and Real / Barca pushed so vocally for the ESL. Finally, "show some decorum and class". Like Villa fans do you mean when players leave? What were your thoughts on Purslow's post Jack leaving video? I loved it. Transparent communication as to why the transfer happened, is that really any different to what the Seville CEO has done? Our own fans acknowledge the only reason these players are joining Villa is for money and Gerrard. I hope you cheer for Villa as loud at Villa Park as you do here.

This is a really **** weird take.

Thissssssss!

Also means Spurs will probably not be in for McGinn for stupid money, which is a shame as I think a change for Villa and McGinn may be beneficial.

The best punishment would to force them to have the exact same ownership situation for the next 100 years. Change nothing. Purgatory for the boyz from the city. Mate.

Did any of those in bold spark a negative reaction? I don't remember it that way. Further, Downing was so inconsequential was there any kind of reaction?

You know it possible to respect someone and still think they were one of the worst players to play for the club? I met Trezeguet, lovely bloke, lovely family too. Wish him all the best for his future life. Doesn't mean I can't also think he was a very, very poor footballer.

Also, Wesley scored one goal when we beat Burnley 2-1 away. Would we not have stayed up without Wesley? The "we wouldn't have stayed up without" is such a weird argument. (But I'm done now, promise).

I don't get this. We stayed up by one point. So we wouldn't have stayed up without any players who scored a goal where we won by one goal by this logic. Targett against Brighton? Mings on his ass in the last minute against Watford? If we weren't playing Trezeguet, perhaps we would have found someone who was better and scored us more goals and therefore we stay up more comfortably.

Can you quote a post where someone has shown disdain for one of our players? I said Trezeguet was one of the worst footballers I've seen for Villa. Some agreed, some disagreed. All good. But actual disdain for somebody - can you show me please.

Bless.

He was a maverick in our team. He would never be that in England's team. He won't start for England, but I completely see where Southgate is coming from.

Interesting. What's the hunch based on?

Who was acting like that? Can you quote some posts please?

They're fine. Not spectacular, not shite, just fine. This might be the most boring post of my time on VT thus far. (Much like those shirts).

"End of". You love to see it.

Ty Bracey has just posted about Xabi Alonso. He's normally quite well connected at VP I think.

After the final last weekend he asked the interviewer where the next final was and said "book your hotel, we'll be there". But, its never, ever even partially Liverpool's fault. Nope.
