  1. Actually feel pretty sorry for him, must be gutted that his body gave up on him before he even turned 30. Seems a decent lad and if we're being honest it took humility for him to move here in the first place, as he still had a profile at that point. Not his fault we signed him, but what the **** were we thinking. His medical must've been a giant red flag
  2. Always remember him on the pitch with Grealish after the play off final and some pundit made them both wave to Prince William 'our future king'. McGinn definitely didn't look fully comfortable with it
  3. Looks painfully 2020s, like the outside of a massive street food market. Dreadful
  4. Unless we move to somewhere further north of Aston in Sutton Coldfield or Erdington (which we won't be) the exact same will be true of any new stadium. Really don't get the fuss with that Lucas Oil stadium, ugly as hell IMO, would no sooner trade Villa Park for that than one of the identikit bowls Edit: and anyone who thinks BCC or WMP would allow us to move closer to the city centre is living in a fantasy world, chances are we'd be out by the NEC somewhere, which would be pretty soulless. It's redundant anyway, we aren't moving anywhere
  5. Alternatively, they have a longer time period and a more extensive breach that they need to build a water-tight case against. I'm not optimistic that there will ever be justice for City's cheating either, but there are obvious differences when comparing their case with the likes of Everton or Forest (edit: or Leicester for that matter!)
  6. Our modern day hooligan faction is definitely small in comparison to the likes of SHA, but very much on the far right, and this is coming from personal experience. Not speaking to anything historic as its far before my time, but I had heard that about C Crew and can well believe it Edit: IMO no club has a 'firm' anymore, which is why I tend to say hooligan faction
  7. Our hooligan element is proportionately much smaller, but very much of the EDL variety
  8. Brigada made a lot of enemies within our (unfortunately still substantial) neanderthal element with their anti-fascist stance and were effectively banned from attending Villa Park while Lerner was still in charge. A few of the lads still go to the games, just not as an organised group. Always found B6 Project pretty cringy tbh, crowdfunding to get banners printed, it's always felt a bit plastic to me. Not sure why they've given up, but they only ever got a lukewarm reception from the fans in general IMO
  9. The media love in with him may be a bit nauseating, but Spurs were on their arse at the end of last season and lost Kane in the summer to boot. He's evidently done a good job there, as he has done in every league he's managed in
  10. It's because he's gotten the Klopp treatment from the media to a degree. Do get the sense that its less of a nice guy act with Postecoglu and have respect for the way he's worked his way up to a top job in the PL
  11. I agree for the most part, do think it's unfair to call him most overrated in the league though Be interesting to see how the English media react when they hit a real bad patch and his matey routine starts to look a bit more passive aggressive
  12. It hasn't been a one team league since he left in fairness. Easy to look down on the Scottish league, but Celtic were on their arse when he came in and he did a very good job That all translates into him being a decent upper-midtable manager in the PL, he has been overhyped by the media this year though
  13. Very sorry to hear this mate - my Mrs is from Wolves and when we saw the news yesterday it hit her as she would go and hang out there at around that time after school Thoughts with everyone involved, but especially hope that your lad can bounce back from such a traumatic event
  14. In much the same way that Jesse Lingard is a promising youngster
  15. Could well have the record by the end of next season
  16. I don't even give him credit for the signing, but probably one for the unpopular opinions thread
