I think he does everything right except for his corners, they are simply awful..

When was the last time we had a good constant corner kick taker? Tonev looked good in the Malaga pre season game then suddenly became sh** and Albrighton is gone now..

Haha laughed for a long time when a parent behind me thought Bent was injured because of his way of walking.

He played well today, what I liked about him was his coolness and not the typical Villa way of sorting our problems (which is getting rid of the ball as soon as we get it). He got control on the ball, looked up and often found a pass instead of hoofing it up!

No words can describe my love and respect for this lad. Thank you for the autograph and photo today!

Yippi aye eh, yippi aye oh,

Holte Enders in the sky...

COME ON LIONS!!

3-1 Villa win 19.273

I'm in love

 

I want Holtby at the club very badly, I know for 100% that he would fit perfectly in our squad. I've been following him since his move to Spuds and even though he never got the chance from the two ex managers his always been performing well when he came on or started. Had a great partnership with Defoe and with a player like Weimann and Gabby running down the wings with Benteke upfront he would find key passes all the time!

Didnt impress me much at Fulham.

 

The funny thing with him at Fulham was that he was the only player actually fighting and caring. He got frustrated and showed much more caring for the club then the players in it did. Of course he didn't look good when more then half of the Fulham club had given up hope for survival. He did lift the quality in their midfield though no doubt. Holtby has been excellent in Spuds pre-season matches and the majority of the Tottenham fans want him to stay at the club!

Why are we wasting £1.5m a year on Lambert

 

Haha i would gladly take the job and work for free at the same time as my studies. Some kind of hobby I guess!

To be fair do you think any of you could play for Birmingham???  I think I'm a fairly level headed bloke, late 30's, work in a global company at senior management level and standard family life but I don't think I could play for them.  Obviously if my only source of income anywhere and it's my family's only way of living then obviously but that is an extreme.  

 

Under normal circumstances like this guy whose coming through and probably believes he could play at a higher level then I'm not sure I could play for the rival team.  Growing up it was ingrained into me to dislike the Blose and that emotion stays with you.  I don't care about their results anymore, don't care what league they are in, enjoy the derbies when we do occasionally play them but never really pay much interest in them but playing for them would be a big no no for me.

 

What about others? could you play for Blose? or I know other Villa fans have more of a rivalry with West Brom or Wolves, so the question is if you had the ability and played football at a high level could you play for the rivals of your childhood team.

Even though I love Villa, my answer would be yes. Being professional means acting like one as well and football player play football for their living. It's their job. Just like referees. Everybody support a team but cannot underperform because of the fact that they aren't playing for their favorite club?

I'm from a small town in Stockholm named Sollentuna. We had three teams before. Two of them joined together and became one club instead. I was in one of those clubs. First two-three weeks was like an audition to stay in the team so the rivalry between us was a lot even though we would end up playing together. Not because everybody wanted to get past the audition, it was mainly because of old derby feelings between the clubs.

This story is about boys in the age of  18-25 and 26. The club is now up and running and all those feelings are gone. Two teams that hated each other are now playing together and going up to a higher divison.

This is about young unprofessionals, if we managed to play with people we "hated" (of footballing reasons) then professionals can do it with ease. So my answer to your question would be yes, I could imagine playing for the blues if that was for the better of my career but I would never change my mind and love for the Villa. I would be playing football as a professional for them and support Villa when outside the pitch!    

Any news on Holtby/Chadli?

I think Pochettino likes Holtby, been playing a lot both in pre season and played in their first match this season. I love to see him here as he has a eye for that killer pass and literally works his socks of every game. Becomes fan favorite pretty fast as well, mostly because of his passion for the game and the way he performs!

Played further up the pitch today, can see him even further up and more often when Sanchez comes in to the lineup!
