  1. This victory belongs to @whitsend. A deeply superstitious man, he did indeed give up his ticket and possibly the best seat in the Holte End for the greater good and Villa have been richly rewarded. I'm sad I didn't get one of those awful two team scarves though...
  2. We need real investment. For the price of one decent male bench warmer, you could buy an entire squad of female players. I'm not saying that to belittle women's football, but that's the truth. The fact we've lost Hampton to Chelsea's bench and no doubt Daphne to Arsenal's bench, I think shows that maybe money could help retain players here, it's not all about game time.
  3. If Ajax is anything to go by, they only seem to have one tier of shirt available and I can't spot any different between what the players are wearing and the shirt I bought. No air holes or different textures like with Villa's current replica and pro versions.
  4. Looked like he only realised after seeing the name already in the book
  5. You know, Villa have won every game I've ever been to, if anyone wants to give up a ticket, for the greater good?
  6. Villa are making it feel like Ajax have an extra player or two on the pitch.
  7. True, and I don't like to speculate on player's personal lives but going off social media posts, I think she may be in a relationship with Mayling. 33 is still young! Take that back!
  8. I just fear we will lose Daly and or Dali in the summer.
  9. "Every week I follow the boys in claret and blue and red and white. We even conquered Europe in 1971, 1972, 1973, 1982 and 1995..." Doesn't flow quite so well
  10. I tried to get a ticket via Ajax but their allocation is sold out.
  11. Basically a new director of football came in during the summer, upset a lot of players, let top players go, brought in complete unknowns to replace them and then hired a manager who had never really achieved anything of note and had never managed at a particularly high level and was known for playing defensive football, which is something Ajax has never played. A complete recipe for disaster and it proved to be. After fans rioting, the club finally sacked the director of football as they realised that he was the instigator of the problems and they gave the manager a little more time. The players were happier and the players who had left the club celebrated the sacking on social media. Ultimately the manager, Maurcie Steijn could not turn things around and appeared tactically inept, so he was replaced by club hero John van 't Schip and things have been on the up ever since. I would expect Villa to win both legs but the league table doesn't tell the whole story of Ajax's season so far.
  12. I started playing FC24 again, a bit, but it's a little tedious. I miss the customisation of the PES games, building any classic team and kit that I wanted. I miss online play just being an option and not the main feature of the game. Playing continental tournaments to unlock classic versions of the winners. Music that you don't have to mute.
  13. It's like a 'Go Yorkshire, go!' chant to represent England really.
  14. I had to get a British passport because I kept getting hassle coming back in. Last time from a lady with a thick Eastern European accent, where's the foreigner solidarity?
  15. I've still only been to see the Villa and Ajax men's teams play once each. Back in the 2008 UEFA Cup
  16. Not sure if this is the correct place but I didn't feel it fitted the main football boards. Has anyone had any experience with getting shirts framed or using kits to do so?
  17. Had a lot of Arsenal supporters sat with and supporting us. Not sure why, but they were great! Not often you can say that about Arsenal supporters...
  18. Ward didn't walk around to applaud the fans with the rest of the team like she normally does but instead brought her daughter on for a wander around. I hope I'm reading too much into that... I thought we performed very well today but Bristol took their chances and we didn't. We were all over them otherwise.
