I get that to a degree - I think the club could communicate better - that's why I am expecting big things to tie into the 150 year celebration.  And I haven't lost faith.  The club has made excellent decisions football wise, and is focusing on addressing FFP via sponsorship and commercial partnerships - which is where they think they can close the gap fastest. I am all for that.  I am sure that they will get to the stadium (don't forget we're getting the Warehouse this summer) but they are prioritising their efforts on the business side to make us more competitive football wise and then I expect to allow further investment - I trust the ownership.

What's the warehouse? 

Has looked knackered the last few games so a break might help him and us. As long as we can keep it together without him 

I think he had a really poor game today. Probably not feeling 100% from whatever kept him out midweek.

I own(ed) a Man City shirt.

Let me give this some context. When I was in the middle of a major gym addition back in the early 00s, I was spending 3 hours a day at the gym, at least 5 times a week. Doing cardio. I started with just regular t-shirts, but they were getting so drenched with sweat, I struggled to take them off! Football shirts were far better. I ended up buying a load of cheap football shirts from somewhere like JJB/JD/Intersport etc, as they were last seasons. Most were overseas teams or national team shirts, but there was also the Man City. It was the Kappa one with the logo down the arms, back when Citeh were plummeting towards the lower leagues. Even today I think it looks like a cool shirt. 

That is a banger of a shirt tbf. Classic 

Game done 

Really hating Grealish tonight.

You realise it was a joke, right?

There are no comedic devices used in the above comment.

The muted reaction to the cancelled North stand really shocked me and ai got a lot of ridicule for bringing it up. This is the third time in 20 years we have backed out of doing it.

You have to wonder why, council squeeze or refusal to accommodate?

Personally i think the wheels are in motion for something anyway. There is more to gain financially by having a new stadium but time will tell. 

Surprised at that. Castore stuff is really poor quality. I was really shocked when my third kit shirt arrived. It feels like a market knock off.

The NEC isn’t even in Birmingham, it’s part of Solihull. The noses would have a field day with that. Only club in Brum blah blah blah.

That's put me off the whole thing. Let's just buy the houses around Villa park and expand.

Two railways stations within walking distance, a major UK motorway on the doorstep...

Yep, I know that place 

And yet getting in and out of the area on any mode of transport is a nightmare. 

I'm all for a new stadium. Villa Park hasn't the facilities needed to kick on and keep us financially in line with the other clubs. We grow or stay as we are, it's simple.

A goal and a yellow for Zaniolo, who has that in the sweepstake! 

Zaniolo probably did 

Diaby has been great today 

We're not making top 4, it's over. 

Needs to be changes at half time because this hasn't worked. If they score another it's over.

Needing far more movement from Duran. No need for him to be so static. Needs to pull some players around a bit. 

I actually think he's playing well. He's way too strong for their defenders to handle 

I want to see Cash in the second half 

I don't think I'll ever not chuckle when the commentator says "areola"

Do you think it’s Heck and the club or the FA final approval process which is delaying this ? Or is this  an excuse to bash Heck cause he cancelled your hallowed new north stand ? 

Hi Heck. Where's the badge? 

Was it the end of December they said this was imminent? 

Every single player has been atrocious in this second half. 

Crap from Villa. Just shows we haven't got the squad for a league and Cup campaign.
