Kobei and Kyrie now both going for Hatricks. Kadan just come on 5 mins ago

We are happy with our 21 year old Rogers. Imagine how happy they are with Cole Palmer. Their new Lampard.

PALMER . The guy is lethal

Complete guesswork but if theres anyone in this countries second city that is going to develop a huge stadium/ hotel/ retail development then it will be our lot. We arent going to come second to Blues when it comes to multi use . Its inconceivable that we would stay at VP and get left behind commercially ( but not football wise) because of our emotional attachment. Every decent sized club has either moved or has plans to move. Utd , Chelsea Newcastle . Even Crystal Palace are looking at a North Stand type development . The way that Heck came in , did due diligence, and then seemed to shelve/ delay the North Stand development , and then soon after Atairos are announced as minority shareholders is too much of a co incidence for me . Birmingham Council will i am sure due to their finances be willing to do all kinds of land deals to help fund services at the moment. We would be stupid not to take advantage.

He is still CEO and one that has done fantastic work since he came in it seems .

Coke home kit ,Diet Coke away kit Coke Zero 3rd kit. Perfect.

Brilliant insight DJ BOB . Thankyou I think some games have been planned for months in advance. City at home was so perfectly executed. Yesterday felt the same . I expect the Liverpool game will be the same when we use another set up . As much as he is humble he also wants desperately to beat the big managers/ previous clubs.

Playing longer and longer with every game. It seems Emery is making him reach into his reserves of energy to get him truly match fit. And it is totally deserved. He has huge ability as well as the build to become a monster. Calling it now. He will become a huge star with us. His improvement in what is it 10 weeks has been so big that i think he is nowhere near his ceiling. You can play him and get the best attributes of both JJ and Buendia in the one player.

Another one with the right personality for our club. Always the first to celebrate with the fans at the end of games .

I think the biggest compliment you could pay these additions to the board would be if they had been made to the Blues board you would believe that the San Giro quarter would actually happen. Actions not words again from our owners.

Yep. That was a thing of true beauty. He has such a good touch and soft feet for such an explosive player .

Thats exactly why Emery loves Pau. Any defender can play the ball down the line which is what we have been used to over the last 20 years. Pau is looking for that ball into the midfield to get us on the half turn and then break. I have my doubts about him occasionally but yesterday was like Man City at home. He found his man so often . Its very rare to find a player who can do eye of the needle 30 yd passes. With Tielemans we bought 2 in one summer. Great recruitment

He is very good against most midfielders. But when he comes up against the truly elite midfielders like Rodri or Super John McGinn then he fades badly.

You get what you deserve Arsenal which was a loss. Arteta saying that they deserved to be winning at half time 2 3 or even 4. No you knob. You didn't because you didnt score. You played really well but you don't ever deserve a thing if u don't score. He will never win something truly big becauae he has that attitude. Its the modern attitude where their opinion becomes their facts. Load of bollox. Look at your opposing coach today. Dignified and not delusional.

Defo the best value and theres an argument for him being in the top 3 in most important of the last 20 years as well. He is a swiss army knife now he has learned the game from Emery. I always used to think his main skill was to cause chaos. Now he is a chameleon. One game he is Snodgrass, the next game Petrov , and the next Grealish. One game he can be composed and thoughtful. The next ullra aggressive and set the tone for the rest of the players. And then he can be the creative spark we need in clutch moments. The manager puts huge pressure on his captain as whenever a key player is missing, its him he turns to , to fill that role. Even saw an interview the other day where he dreams about playing as goalie if there isnt one on the bench. For the price of 60 % of a Tsishbola he has been incredible. And apart from the broken ankle he has been pretty much fit 95% of the time .

I am so sure that we came across him when Emery looked at the videos pre the FA Cup Boro game. And then once Emery saw him in the flesh was desperate for him. If he had been scouted for a long time we would have bought him last summer surely. He didnt pull up trees at his previous loan club either. Convinced it was an Emery purchase. Doesn't make sense for it to be Monchi

Nah. He is exactly what we deserve. After having so many charlatans in the last 40 years we finally get an ownership that understood you need to aim high and then go and close the deal. He is our first chance of punching our weight in an age.

He is already our greatest manager in terms of London wins. Spurs Arsenal Brentford Chelsea Fulham and a draw v West Ham. Only 2 points dropped in the season in London. Magic ! In fact only 5 points dropped home and away against London teams full stop.

Against Lille a goal and an assist. Amd today he played one of the greatest games he has ever played for us. He has come back from the suspension, took a game to get up to speed and now looks like he is at absolute top form again. Him Ez Ollie and Emi are the backbone of this team this season. A player from Hibs , a youngster from Charlton, a striker who started at Exeter and a perennial sub or loanee. Best use of £68 million quid ever. They will fight in the trenches

Impacted the last 2 games off the bench. Was back to his form and confidence of 2 months ago

We need to play Arsenal every week. He was awesome at home against them as well. That was the defender that we thought we were getting

You absolute genius. There i am doubting him at halftime and then his tactics totally nullify a team that had been so good first half. Not only nullify but dominate. The GOAT Villa manager maybe.

Something has changed within him since Emery has come in. So mucb less reserved. More relaxed and with that you see how he can score and assist so many . I think also that he realises he can achieve things here with a manager that is perfect for him. He might have been Arsenal growing up but make no mistake he is Villa now. Bit like Merse.

Reminds me of Buendia when he joined us. Shows how much more intense it is than the Champ

Not good enough Villa. 9 shots, none on target. Crazy how that stat doesnt show we have hit 3 posts and a bar
