Was he even playing today? I didn't see him or hear his name in the 2nd half.

I don't think come the end of the season we'll be anywhere near European places, but just the fact we're talking about it at Christmas is a huge achievement.

Blair pretend playing lifesaver and looking for more work in the afterdinner speaking and mandarin world, no thanks.

I read an autobiography on Blair. His housemaster (at the Scottish version of Eaton which is hilarious for a 'labor' leader) said, "What you have to remember about Tony is that he is an actor. A really good one, but first and foremost an actor."*

Take from that what you will.

2020 strikes again! I agree with Trump on something!

Congress found plenty of money for foreign countries, lobbyists and special interests, while sending the bare minimum to the American people who need it. It wasn't their fault. It was China's fault.

"I am asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low $600 to $2,000 or $4,000 for a couple.

"I'm also asking Congress to immediately get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items from this legislation and to send me a suitable bill, or else the next administration will have to deliver a Covid relief package."

 

He also says "the next administration." He's conceded!

Also pardoned, George Papadopoulos who was convicted for lying to the FBI about the Trump campaigns ties to the Russian Intelligence Operation to discredit Hilary Clinton.

But there was no collusion.

Trump has been busy pardoning people today, including two former Republican congressmen convicted of financial crimes (Chris Collins and Duncan 'The Vaping Congressman' Hunter) and four Blackwater security guards who murdered 14 unarmed Iraqi civilians.

EDIT:

 

What really boils my piss about this is that Eric Prince the head of Blackwater Mercenaries Inc. at the time, is, oh yeah, Betsy Devos's brother. 

But you get Trump supporters going on about inane conspiracies that aren't real but they can't see the obvious nepotism in these kinds of things.

Why do people think Saka is interested in moving from London to Brum? My experience is that players aren't. 

Then again we're better than Arsenal and we did sign Emi.

See... now you got me all confused and excited.

Grealish convinced Barkley to move up here for now.

If you were a good young player on the books of a Rome club going nowhere and had the chance to play with Maradona* in Napoli what would you do?

Just in case you're troubled by asthma. Or... nervousness. 

I'd get bloody nervous if someone came at me with one of those things.

For me it's Jack, Gazza & Best as far as attacking British Isles based players who have played in the English 1st Division.

His technical ability is above and beyond anyone else playin in the PL right now. No-one glides across the pitch with the ball like him.

He's in that company.

I'd love Villa to test Arsenal with a serious offer for Saka in January and/or the summer, he would be perfect for us.

They obviously wouldn't be looking to sell but they need a huge rebuild so would be good to tempt them with a big offer.

 

I've been thinking about this myself - ever since I saw Saka and Grealish playing together for England. They were on the same wavelength and seemed to be enjoying playing together.

Obviously in modern history Arsenal would be see as the bigger club but they so seem in an awful mess since Wenger left. I wonder if they'd entertain an offer and how much it would take?

With Utd & Chelski coming so quickly after this game, I would really like 3 points against Palace.

Although our road form has been great Utd suddenly have decided they want to play a bit (typical) and Frank Lampard's ChesleaTM are a good side.

Wow - a better start than Saint O'Neil had.

Aston Villa winger Anwar El Ghazi: "Amazing night for me and Aston Villa, another derby we have won. I am proud and happy.

"Against Burnley we were unlucky and I was a bit upset and played a good game against them and should have scored two. I could have done something against West Brom and I did.

"We had space in the second half and it could have been faster but it is a good result.

"Before the red card it was easier and after they sat back, playing on the counter so it was harder.

"Bertrand Traore scored an amazing goal and we have learnt from last season. Aston Villa were afraid and shaky but we have to keep working hard and looking forward to what the season brings us."

Do we not play again until Saturday? Boooooooo

Zero back lift which is why Johnstone was rooted to the spot.

We look up for it tonight
