Haha they both left mate. Also get every single one of those graphs and stats for 07/08

What are your player expectations for this season? I think Watkins and Diaby should be aiming for 20 goal contributions each. Dougie should also be looking for 15 now he's on pens. Martinez should be looking for 13 clean sheets. But is there anymore, i cant really think of what to expect for Mcginn in numbers.

Jack was superb in the lockdown season. A lot of players numbers was skewed that season. Of his 16 goal contributions almost a third of them were in one game. But i think he would have sailed past 20 goal contributions even if his numbers did slow down. Theres only 5 Villa players who have done that in 30 years of the premier league. Yorke twice, Young, Benteke and Watkins last season. Unfortunately injury stopped that. I still pick Bosnich as my best keeper in my all time team. The amount of seasons he's played and ive seen him life 2 trophies, but Martinez is definitely a better keeper in 2 of his 3 seasons ( he struggled his second season for many reasons), he can kick a ball for one. It takes more than a season or 2 to surpass Bozzie and probably needs to win a trophy,

He classes a striker as a number 9 or centre forward i guess. I would class Salah and Son as forwards but not centre forwards, i guess theres no right or wrong answer, There's only 2-3 elite centre forwards that have been better than Ollie in the last 3 years. For me he has plenty in the bank to get him through a bit of bad form. Emery is more than happy with Watlins as he hasn't signed someone to push him.

Whenever i put this on, its always Walsall fans on. Do they now have the largest fan base in the area?

1. A 15 min sin bin for cynical on the break fouls. 2. The first person who picks up the ball at a throwin or corner must take it or is booked.

I agree with Yorke, but you cant compare the way they both left. That Everton game and saying he never wanted to play for the club again, completely different.

I effectively did with this post.

The woman who he allegedly raped said she had a very positive experience when they first had sex, but then said he was very different when she said no

It was a joke i agree its not serious just a debate

My point is not his ability as a player he had a superb 18 months of premier league football, i just need more than that after watching 30 years of Villa playing. Its one of the reasons why i was upset Jack left, i never got to see the peak Jack as that was when the stadiums were closed, but still his fleeting peak might have been way higher, but others have just contributed more to Villa on the pitch and thats just a fact i think.

He played 26 games

This 100%, it winds me up when fans whos seen them both play put Jack in the team over Young. Their raw numbers are not even comparable.

He would choose Watkins as we have other players that could fit Diaby's role easier. Diaby however is a better player. Another silly argument.

He's nowhere near our best player in the past couple of decades. He has a great 18 months in the premier league, but that's nowhere near what Benteke, Ashley Young, barry or even milner did. You could debate most gifted sure but i just cant accept that at all. Could still change if he does come back however.

Tbf its the difference between the positive and negative xg which is still an issue but certainly getting better.

Hes done quite well to score 40 premier league goals in 3 years being "one of the worst finishers in the league". Hyperbole like this is just ridiculous as much as i agree with the end of the post.

Honestly i think its why the top sportsmen deserve the money they earn. I cant comprehend what his mental health is. He's either very strong or more likely really affecting his career. But it makes me feel a bit backwards but its part of football. I cant say i haven't had a go at opperition players. But its not his fault he's still getting picked.

If you think Ollie is streaky you didn't watch Deano.

While i think the VAR explanation program is actually interesting insight, the biggest insight in got from the conversations is the fact that although referees know the laws of the game, i dont think they understand the game itself as much as they should.

Newcastle play like Newcastle

Kicking the can down the road and concentrating on getting reelected isn't just this terms issue its been an issue really since Thatcher if now longer.

I think this is what the biggest issue is. I think he would have played the Everton/Burnley games but i think it would have been Mings and Konsa vs Newcastle and Liverpool. Weve seen the good and the bad, we are probably going to have to live with it for a few months unfortunately.

I will say it quietly, but we didn't have the same issues when Dendonker played at home vs the 2 uniteds.

Yet he's picked someone whos scored 6 goals in the last 12 months playing for the second best team in the country.
