I think we have to appeal the red card. It’s a foul and a yellow card, but a red is ridiculously harsh. 

No way on earth we would appeal that , it’s a red for me without doubt

The Villa section of the Fanatics online store.

 

No,the actual villa website store which  is still run by fanatics/kitbag and based in Manchester 

Anyone else tried to get the 3rd shirt online ? I ordered it as it said despatch within 2 days and then on confirmation said expected delivery 26 sept which is almost 3 weeks away . 
 

on ringing them I was told there is a huge backlog of orders as kitbag have moved to new depot and struggling to cope , in that case not wise  to state this items usually despatched in 2 days when they know it will be weeks .

was far better when villa did it it all in-house . 

Divock origi an interesting  option , felix very unlikely now though Emery was keen 

What is the best way of removing the sponsor name off the shirt without leaving any marks ?

Did a good job overall but he hung his hat on Gerrard and pushed hard for him , the manner in which it failed and the decision of nas to take a more hands on role with Emery meant purslow lost his power and it was only a matter of time thst this day came . 
 

He can hold his head high as we are far better off after his time here but it was time to go without doubt , Emery reports to to the owners directly and Christian wasn’t the big man at villa park any longer .I wish him well . 

Sometimes football throws up big surprises in the transfer window

purslow is not just a CEO. he is part owner, so things work differently with us. nas cannot make such decisions above his head.

hope this clears things up a bit better.

Purslow very minor stake in villa and believe me both nas and Wes can make any decisions they want whether purslow likes it or not

I think this guy see's things many don't.....Thats why he is Elite.

The next thing will be hanging on to him.

Don’t worry about that tro , he’s here and in it for the long term 100%

Not sure he’s any better than Bertie was and certainly not £30m plus 

Gifted 2 dreadful goals although Martinez was poor too for the first

I'm not quite sure on what happens if English teams win the major European trophies, but I don't think there's a scenario where Europa Conference can go down to 8th. 

I might be wrong on that though, it's so ridiculously complicated nowadays I'm sure there's a way.

 

Top 4 champions league - 5th place and 2 cup winner europa league - if both cup winners have finished in top 4 then 6th and 7th qualify for europa league and 8th europa conference league

It’s 7th, and it only applies if the League Cup and FA Cup winners are already qualified for Europe. 

Europa conference was 8th place last season - and the likelihood is very much both cups will be won by teams in the top 6

Well I am surprised we didn't bring anyone else in as I really thought we would but I'm not too bothered about it. Getting rid of some deadwood in the squad has been a big plus this window. 

I've never for one second thought about European qualification this season, even now after the decent run with Emery. We have to hope Liverpool and Chelsea don't turn things around and then still have to hope Brentford, Fulham and Brighton all have a complete meltdown? It's a bit delusional. Our form has been good but we won't sustain this, at least I'm not entirely convinced we will by our performances. 

I've said it time and time again, top half would be fantastic. Finish in the top 10 for the first time in over a decade and then think about Europe. 

Why do we need Brighton Fulham and Brentford to have a complete meltdown? There is a 3 point gap with almost half a season to play - I think 8th would get us into the europa conference league and is very much achievable

The speed that this club does business continues to impress. Purslow finally doing something to pay us back for the Gerrard debacle.

I agree Dyche doesn’t get the respect he deserves but didn’t Howe get Bournemouth from non league to premier league in back to back seasons all playing a good style of football?

No - they were league 2 and he got them promoted to premier league not back to back though

in all seriousness.. are we to believe our club has put out rumours about another club's manager and that then (somehow) helps them land the appointment of someone else..!? If that is true, it feels quite childish and small time to me.. 

you are awful but I like you

Don’t be surprised if purslow falls on his sword too
