    That was weird. Like playing a lower league team in a friendly and you just expect to win comfortably. Fairly flat atmosphere, as I think it was just so easy. Absolutely flabbergasted at how bad everton were. Maybe that shows how well we played, but conceding two goals from throw-ins like that was weird. Great to see some 'fringe' players get a decent run out. Great to see Duran score, read a poor throw in, took a terrible touch then an excellent finish. Weird but I'll take it. Bad stuff: Watkins has had an iffy start to the season, and yet another bad injury. We'll be playing the u18s and the ladies team by May at this rate. I don't like the extra 15 minutes with the injury time. It's a long time to stand, and I reckon it'll cause injuries to mount. Neither team could be bothered to play that additional nine minutes in the second half.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Liverpool come in for him, he'd do very well there I'm sure. However, we do know how much cash they have available, and I'd be informing them that any offers below £110m will be immediately filed into the recycling.

    If I was going to buy a shirt, I'd buy the training top. Looks better than the kit, cheaper, and no stupid logos all over it.

    Write the theme tune, sing the theme tune

    You'd like the think the amount of coins chucked at him would cover his wages.

    They're just a posh Small Heath

    The taking caps off bottles of pop thing always struck me as stupid - I've never bought a bottle of pop in the ground, but if it's something you do often, is it worth just taking a spare bottle top with you from home into the ground? Then you can just stick it on, as I guess they're the same bottles you'd get in the shop.

    Exactly. Before VAR the refs could and did favour the bigger team. Now, the ref AND VAR can can and do favour the bigger teams. It's just doubled the chance for bullshit.

    I feel the same. I'm used to disappointment from decades of being a villa fan, but to go from such dizzying optimism a week ago following the Europe draw, to this, it's absolutely crushing. This season felt like our big chance to make an impression on the league, to go for trophies, and now two of our best players are gone for the season just like that. **** the result, these things happen and we always lose first day of the season, but to lose Mings for what seems to be the whole season. And what sort of player comes back if the injury is as bad as it looks? This morning I'm just looking at articles on the Saudi league and thinking '**** it, just take the **** lot'.

    I think we need to ring the changes after that farce, as much as we can anyway. Martinez Cash Carlos Torres Digne Luiz Tielemans Diaby Coutinho Philogene Watkins Squad already feels thin now when you try and make a bunch of changes with the injuries we've got. Any optimism about a successful league campaign alongside a shit at Europe feels long gone.

    The season starts here maybe?

    That's enough for me for today.
  13. blunther
    Yep

    Well said. Does my head in. The 1992 beginning of history is **** stupid anyway, but epseically so when the leading scorer's goals don't count in May 1992, but magically do from August 1992. WTF.

    Be interesting to see where the club pitch this in terms of ticket prices...

    We play away on the 24th, home on the 31st, regardless of opposition.

    Agreed, would love a big 256 team unseeded, straight draw one-leg mashup. Win 8 games and you win the trophy. Lose one and you're out. Simple.

    Giving up at half time, this stream is making me feel sick.

    I like the personal touch of 'Dear Supporter'. Cant even run a mail merge.

    I think the draw logic is now the same as it's always been in this competition. We can beat any of them. We can have any of these teams whether two legs or one. We have a manager who is built for this. Let's win the word removed.

    I talked about booking a room in London when we drew Bradford over two legs, but didn't. Look how that turned out. So I've got flights and hotel booked for this one!
  22. blunther
    That's my plan too! Guess I better get on it.

    Couldn't get on last night due to the volume, and now it's under maintenance. I did actually manage to order something once, a villa hoodie. But had to pick it up from the club shop and never got round to it.

    Wouldn;t be surprised if it was more like 5k.
  25. blunther
    I wonder if it's possible that they know that 50k is basically maxed out and the fan experience of getting in and out will be shit, so they're having one last look around for a site for a new ground before committing to VP.
