my understanding is that is the advantage of having these horrible identikit stadiums, they're future proofed for expansion, they can just raise one the stands, they dont have to demolish it completely redo the foundation for the additional weight and then spend months co-ordinating how to co-ordinate it all with the remaining structure and make it structurally sound, half the work is already done

they can probably do it for less than half the cost of what we can, maybe more

Yep, you are correct.

Would rather us spend three times the amount and keep a bit of character about the place though than have one of those soulless bowls as our home ground

What has fully convinced you, out of interest?

Just gut instinct really.

Really hope I'm wrong 

I'm fully convinced he's off.

Just hope if I'm right that it's done and dusted in the next week.

Really hope we spend the money wisely and don't do what Spurs did with the Bale money

How are we going to cope with only two assistant managers?

A swing and a miss.

I honestly can never understand people starting tweets by clarifying who they support... Who gives a sh*t 

You see it all the time on social media (respect from a blah blah fan etc) like it makes you some sort of national hero being a decent human being despite supporting a rival club.

The tweet above though is just plain weird.

Amazing to think that our goalkeeper regularly plays in the same team as the world's greatest footballer.

And also occasionally with Lionel Messi.

Take off your claret and blue tinted spectacles...

Keinan Davis has another season to go before we can declare him the world's greatest footballer 

What a man.

If he stays around for a few seasons he has the talent to go down as one of our greatest ever keepers.

The trash talking before the penos is a sign of the huge growth in confidence he's had over the past year. 

Even sweeter that he backed it up!

Cant believe that we are going to be seen winning the Premiership, FA Cup, and League Cup in this top! 

If my mum was still about she'd be telling them to go back inside and put something decent on! 

Horrendous. This season will cover 40 years since both the last league win and the European Cup win - was really hoping we'd mark the occasion and go retro.

A revamp of the Witton (Doug Ellis) and North Stands would massively improve the ground. 

Surely a name change from the Doug Ellis Stand too..

Paul McGrath Stand? Gordon Cowans Stand?

Milner on Loan then we signed him for around £8m, a season later.

Steve Staunton was another example which I think someone else has mentioned already.

Sid Cowans another one as well. Twice!

Just rewatching the 2019 playoff final on Sky here.

He was unplayable 

So frustrating that we mess up every single corner kick we get trying to be clever. 

Just whip the ball into the box!!!!

Gareth Southgate claps when a plane lands

He really must regret not sticking with Ireland now.

In a weird way the international situation should serve as a warning to him as to what could happen at club level.

Stick with Villa/Ireland and become a legend or go somewhere else and get no game time...

As I just read on Twitter - the door handle Vs the shirt size makes me think this is not real...

I hope you're right

Really hoping that's not it myself 

Both home and away are horrendous. 

Really cheap looking and that sleeve sponsor makes them look even worse.

Just watched the Ming's interview where he's wearing this kit and it looks horrible imo. Last season's kit was one of the best imo, shame we're not using Luke anymore.

Not a fan of it at all myself. Think it looks really cheap and tacky, but sure no biggie - I'll just buy the away/third kit

Me too. Some of the best we've had. Shame I couldn't buy anything due to the absolutely ridiculous sizes they offer at the club. They must think every single Villa fan are fat and unfit or absolute giants. 

Luckily enough for me I fall into all three of these categories 

Any word on a release date?

Nice to see Tonev return in an El Ghazi mask 

Jedinak should not be in the team regardless of what position he's played in.

Age has caught up on him - so slow and his distribution has been woeful today also.

In block 247 myself. I'd imagine it'll be packed full of Villa fans. Can't wait
