  1. What's the lowest fee we've ever got? That poster could still be right.
  2. The day I see this team 4 up it'd be time to put the crack pipe away.
  3. Bottom left looks like he just crawled out of the pool in 'Unbreakable' Shame his contract was.
  4. Four points would be monumental. Get those and I'll start to believe.
  5. This is the beauty of VillaTalk; it will be highbrow on page 59 but by page 62 we'll be on 50:50s, long throw ins and fish puns. Not too sure which page number you're on at the moment... Lost in the ether! I assume it's because I'm on mobile and post to page ratio is different. Or is that 'aether'?

    Quiz!

    20/25 Worth doing just for that mugshot of Milner
  7. Works both ways. Delph runs his contract down and gets crippled - no one wants him. I think he got a good deal with that buy-out clause. Think it doesn't happen? Think Vlaar.
  8. As you pointed out, that's not his game (ironically, running 40 yards like mad onto a hopeful punt is the only time I want to see Gabby on the pitch) . Gil's pace is only of concern over 5-10 yards. Being so lightweight will be an advantage for this.
  9. You can tell that his confidence has taken a knock. He's only human. A clean sheet may just be the spark he requires. If his confidence is allowed to return completely we'll get a very good keeper back.
  10. I want to like this for its attention to detail.... but it just wouldn't be right. Made me laugh out loud though.
  11. There are currently 7 senior CBs at Villa. 4 of these were bought in the summer. Add to that the two out on loan. That makes it 9 in total. One more and Villa can field a team of CBs in January and Guzan in goal. Richards, Lescott, Ilori, Crespo. Clark, Okore, Senderos Baker, Donacien You are Alex McLeish and I claim my £5.00.
  12. I was gutted to see him go and posted as much. He got ridiculous criticism above those who really deserved it. He's one of those players, where you can't quite figure out how he does it but he does, who beats a player with sheer tenaciousness. He gave Luke Shaw as good as he got then a few games later he was gone.... typical Villa.
  13. There's one in Stirchley next to B&Q, or at least there used to be.
  14. I think 14th would be seen as a massive achievement by all but the clinically insane.
  15. The pool is septic. I'm actually coming around to the idea of relegation. I might even go to a few more games.
  16. The PL monstrosity is a microcosm of the entire UK property market. On the surface everything seems rosy - price indices are going up all the time. But its a Ponzi or pyramid scheme and eventually you run out of suckers, however willing, able to take part and prop the whole rotten edifice up. Underneath the surface you have near-zero interest rates and funny-money being printed into oblivion. Eventually the taps have to be turned off and interest rates will be forced to rise. Personally, I hope the whole PL thing implodes so all clubs can get back to a more even footing.
