The RJW63 Official Jack Grealish Appreciation Thread
Sam-AVFC replied to kevangrealish's topic in Other Football
I’ve always been a Villa ‘fan’ and used to go to a couple of games a year with my godmother but never had Sky so only vaguely remember some of the players from that era and wasn’t a big football fan at younger ages. I started to take much more of an interest around 13/14 a little bit before O’Neill took over. -

Now you say it it does make sense Very surprised you think he was better for us than Grealish though. Grealish is easily the best player I’ve seen play for us since I’ve been watching regularly though. -

No idea. Who is it? -

Fair enough. Tbh I think the general standard of refereeing in this country is dreadful. Don’t watch many European leagues nowadays so for all I know they may be exactly the same.

Obviously work rate has nothing to do with experience, but... ...you are contradicting yourself a bit. FWIW I agree that it’s an overrated concept.

Good going! Coming from Somerset I always wanted Bristol City to make it to the premier league...until I realised how much they hate Villa, now it’s Rovers all the way! What is the Keith Stroud thing? Seen a few posts by City fans about him screwing you over. I might be making myself look silly here as I vaguely remember we may have benefitted from one of the bad decisions.
-
Have the club said anything? Sounds like it may have been precautionary but him grabbing his hamstring doesn’t bode well.
-
I was thinking the captain would make the call in football too but considering the captain in cricket is near enough a manager it probably wouldn’t work.

I remember going for a lunch with some colleagues to this little pizza place around the corner from work and Rio Ferdinand walks in with three others. It’s a very popular spot only taking walk ins and always busy but it still made me laugh the hilariously sour manager just shouts “no room” from across the restaurant without even bothering to do more than glance their way. -
All sold out already I know they are subsidiaries of Yum! (maybe just in this country) but no idea if there is a link to Pepsi.
-
I hadn’t realised they’d chucked up a paddling pool too but I guess that didn’t need to be in the planning application.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi 2019/2020
Sam-AVFC replied to villalad21's topic in Other Football
Messi on a free would probably pay for his astronomical wages from a commercial point of view. Knowing how much every footballer wants to play for us we should start tapping him up... Shame this didn’t happen a few weeks ago as we might have been able to swap him for Lansbury and Hogan in the January window. -
Just been looking at the plans for the extension and I see they’ve finally added a sandpit in the new gym area.

@tonyh29 worst one I had was when in the way out of the office I said goodbye to an ex colleague that always worked late (didn’t normally start to 11:30). I ended up standing there for 40 minutes while he told me a story about the time he was telling a taxi driver a story about a story he told another taxi driver before. It was like inception for dullards.

Girl I went to school with had two wombs. I always though the second must be a bit redundant but you’d be laughing if one got crushed in a swing bridge and still had a spare knocking about.
-
I find it quite funny too. The thought that you both know one (or both) of you don’t know the others name but can’t bring yourself to actually address it.

So this morning on the tube I was stood next to one of the most repellant beings to grace this earth. She was stood next to me (head basically on my shoulder) with no room at all loudly chewing a smoothie. Literally taking a gulp then chewing it with her mouth open 20 times. This was a premise supermarket smoothie so no reason at all to chew.
-
If someone did it to me outside of work I’d snatch the phone out of their hand and hang up for them. I’m probably a bit odd with this but I generally have no issue with someone being willingly rude whereas someone displaying bad table manners or ignorance of others around them drives me mad.
-
I’m with Bickster. Guess I have to be as I picked up the phone mid conversation earlier. I might say a quick ‘sorry’ as I pick up but that’s as far as I’ll go. To be fair I think I’m being pretty generous by not telling the guy next to me to shut the **** up as I’m trying to work. Only my second month so I’ll get there soon enough.
-
The only calls to my landline used to be an old lady ringing at least twice a month trying to get hold of Ethel. After a year and realising she wasn’t stopping I just unplugged the thing.
-
Love that @chrisp65 Reminds me of that person in the office you speak to at the coffee machine on day one and two years later still don’t know their name so you just go for “heyyy mate”. Thankfully my new company has everyone’s pictures online so I can stalk to avoid the awkwardness...unless they walk behind me when I’ve got a photo of them on my screen. I hope your wife does do the introduction thing. I got someone with that before. He got away with it but was fun to watch the squirming.
-
I’m with you. Was thinking recently this might be the best resolution. Just look at how dreadful umpire decisions barely (relatively) get talked about in the context of officiating mistakes, most of the discussion is around the captain wasting a challenge on a stupid call earlier so not being able to overturn.
-
I specifically look for someone a bit crazy which is probably where I’m going wrong...
-
Reckon he’d be interested in someone with 3 out of 4?
