There's a different Leon when he's smiling. He's clearly a player who thrives on confidence. Unai is the perfect manager for Leon, to give him that confidence. We signed Leon along with Emi Buendia and Danny Ings. They were supposed to fill the void left by Grealish leaving. In his last season Grealish scored 6 in 26 Premier League appearances. Leon has 5 in 13 PL appearances so far this season. I think it's fair to say that when Leon plays like he is now he's looking every bit the perfect replacement.

Imagine playing against McGinn when he's like he was tonight? He must be an absolute nightmare to play against. Absolutely brilliant captain for our club.
-
I think Unai realised he needed Diego to go toe to toe with Haaland and he's probably the only defender that competenwith him physically right now, with Ty out. Diego was fantastic tonight. Ezri at right back made sense because we know he doesn't get dribbled past.
-
I'm ashamed to say I gave up on Leon. My God, what a player he looks right now. I just wish he rolled his socks down from day one. He was unplayable tonight.

This plus the keys to the safe and artistic license for everything that contains AVFC.

Spot on! The high line is the reason for our success. We are playing in the attacking half of the pitch. I love Unai. If he asked for my hand in marriage I'd say yes. The man is an absolute genius. He's a freak! I was surprised at the team but the man absolutely knows what he's doing. Carlos against Haaland - beef vs beef. Put is faith in Bailey. Pushed Tielemans further forward. It was perfection. That's the most complete Villa performance I've seen in many years.

Nothing wrong with getting stuck in. It's a contact sport.

Believe it or not, a Villa fan I know at work said to me after the last game "I am glad we won but when is Martinez going to keep a clean sheet?". I commented that I thought there was nothing he could have done about the Fulham goal and the guy replied "yeah but, what about other games? You can't be given the best keeper in the world award and then not keep clean sheets". I just gave up trying to reason with him that we are extremely lucky to have Emi. He is a big personality and gives us a lot of exposure. I think that our players gaining recognition means we are heading in the right direction.

Believe it or not guys, we have a linesman who currently works matchdays in the Premier League, who used to live on Dovedale Road Perry Common as a kid. His name is Mark Perry. I think he lines the Palace v Everton game yesterday. He was a sound lad as a kid.

I too was born in Dudley Road.

I grew up in Dove Dale Road and used to spend most days playing football in Witton Lakes Park or the rec between Witton Lodge Road and Perry Common Road. When I was a kid I got run over by a car on Perry Commom Road lol.

Horse Racing - the good, the bad and the ugly
Villarocker replied to bielesibub's topic in Off Topic
Summerville Boy is without doubt the class act in his race. But, the drop in trip and top weight are putting me off. And old favourite of mine goes in that race - Drop The Anchor. He's well down the weights these days and it looks the right trip for him so I've had a go at 28/1. -

Paul Nicholls had a great day at Wincanton yesterday. He rules that track so it wasn't too surprising. Today, Nicholls sends a few runners to Sandown. He has the favourite in the last race, which is a 2m bumper. Interestingly though, he has sent just one runner to Ffos Las for their final race, which is a 2m bumper. The horse is owned by JP McManus and a debutant - Jalila Moriviere - and currently at 6/4 with Bet365. It's French bred so maybe he sent it there knowing it will get softer ground, which French bred horses seem to relish? It's also Lorcan Williams' only ride on the card. Also at Ffos Las, Donald McCain has sent just one runner on a 7.5 hour, 280 mile, round trip. It's ridden by Theo Gillard - his only ride on the card. The horse's name - Gold Emery. I'm all over that at 6/1. -

In races over longer distances, so 2m 6f+ over the jumps, on soft worse ground, I like to look for horses with lower weight who front run. I just think they're harder to reel in. -
I was born in Aston, grew up in Perry Common, live in Shard End now. Brummie all the way.

You make a very good point, mate. I was watching us against AZ in the week and thinking about the way in which we build our play from the back with its slow and deliberate pace. Us dictating the pace of games pretty much means we exert ourselves as much as we want, pretty much. I think this philosophy will help us keep players energy levels at a good enough level throughout the season.

Did I hear right that Spurs only have 4 players on the pitch who started the game? Two sent off and five subs? That was brave if so. What if they got an injury?
-
Surely VAR are going to rule it out lol
-
Each time I look at Cuccerella I see someone who looks like he's wearing a blindfold, pulled the pin out of a grenade and can't tell if he's holding the grenade or the pin.
-
Mudryk is absolutely appalling. He's got more pace than anyone on that pitch, they give him from the halfway line to run into and he's offside lol. Chelsea are soooo abysmal. Imagine watching this! Spurs are playing unbelievably dangerously on the halfway line against pace such as Sterling and Mudryk. It's a ridiculous tactic that's working because of how bad Chelsea are.
-
I can see the Spurs goalie screwing up big time in this game. They're playing such a high line that he's acting as sweeper. At some point he's either going to miss the ball and they'll have a free net to aim at or, he's going to take someone out and see red as well.
-
Spurs are in meltdown mode. One centre back with a hamstring injury, one with a 2-3 game ban and, a full back on a ban. Hopefully, Chrksea will go goal crazy.
-
Fantastic. I love seeing him looking happy because there's no doubting he's better when he's confident and smiling.
-
He's good. No doubt about it, for me. He's got some kind of aura - exuberance - about him. To go with that he's a physically strong guy who tracks back and does the harder side of the game. A year from now he'll be a beast!
