I watched the rerun of the BBC announcement followed by the dirge, I mean national Anthem.

Absolutely nauseating.

That back-heel by Traore

Same moyes who they criminally underperformed for last season, mad

Shows how much the boo boys were crippling them 

Yeah it will be interesting to see how they perform once their fans are back inside the Laahhhhhhhdan stadium.

Why? because it’s his first year in the league? There’s actually 10 outfield players that have played more minutes than him in the league. Some that have also played in Europe. I think if we included all the European players there will be quite a few that have played more than him. 
 

He shouldn’t really be knackered. 

Precisely because he is new. Just made the step up.

He must be mentally fatigued. It's not just about how many yards he has run (and he has run a lot.)

No-one deserved to win that. Both teams were awful until the last inexplicable 15 mins.

Before that, we weren't even challenging for 1st balls let alone 2nd balls even in their box. Awful. I know we've been poor since Covid but this is the 1st time I've got really irate.

I'm glad Dean changed it. We've needed it for a while. Ramsay was the difference closely followed by Keinan. Those 2 actually had some fight to play for the shirt and of course Trez popped up in areas where before we'd had no-one. But kudos to the products of our youth system - they made it happen.

Ollie has played every minute of every game in his 1st season in the the PL. That's shocking management IMO. He must be exhausted. He needs some help and I think Dean should stick with Davis alongside him up top with Ramsay up behind for the rest of the season. Also stick Barry on the bench and bring Ollie off for some rest. He's knackered. 

Oh and please get rid of Barkley, thx. We have better in our own youth ranks.

Finished season 1 of handmaid's tale this week, been on the list for a long time, its very good, not sure if it attacks religion or the class system more but I'm enjoying that, it's very cock on the block in places which gets a big tick from me, moss is always superb 

It's incredible. My wife and I call it "trauma porn."

S1 is Attwood's book. S2 sees the writers take over. It's pretty damn good and also very disturbing - Especially between OfFred & Aunt Lydia.

S3 I really didn't like. I thought it was a jumbled mess. However, I rewatched it last week as S4 is coming out in a few weeks and it seemed better the 2nd time through.

Well Pep doesn't like nunber 9s and hates Raiola. Apparently they will try sign Lukaku instead since he left Raiola

I can't see Pep signing someone who receives the ball and it bounces 12 feet away from him (most of the time.)

Can someone define what a "Smithista" is please?

As a kid I thought the Manuel portrayal was really offensive.

I grew up in the UK. It was just considered normal make fun of the Irish, Scots and the Welsh. As for Europeans......

I loved this show as a kid. Seems pretty dated now though.

Yeah there's some pretty racist stuff it in tbh. The "Major" character in particular.

I know they were poking fun at that generation of "English Colonist" but it's pretty dated now. Also the Spanish Manuel stuff is cringeworthy.

You don't need them any more now you've been microchipped by Bill Gates, right?

That was my joke. Not sure it really landed though.

Oh well!

It would surprise me. That’s just crazy talk mate.  Jack is 100% going to the Euro’s and will most likely start against Croatia. 

I hope you're right because he deserves it and of course it means there is more chance of staying at Villa. (If BigNose leaves him at home maybe he will think he has to move to cement an England place.)

Phillips in the squad at all, nevermind starting is the biggest joke of all 

Massively, massively out of his depth. 

Yup.

Just now, Vive_La_Villa said:

Not really but I got this feeling it could be a poor tournament in general so the best of a bad bunch could win it.   Plus still got Jack to come in to team and options such as Rashford. 

It would not surprise me in the slightest if Lingard is taken instead of Jack.

Just now, Genie said:

Absolutely, if he leaves Rice and Philippa on it’ll be madness.

Is Phillipa his drag name ?
