    Yes it would be a slight defence - I would say shallow. No sensible person thinks we should have followed a mad-cap policy of spend, spend, spend. Ellis could have followed a long term development strategy but he did not. There is no strong reason why, 1993 on, we did not keep up with Arsenal - we were above them in 1993 and had home attendances very similar to Arsenal. I believe Ellis was more concerned with maintaining his own position above all else. I have supported Villa for a long time and I can remember the old board of directors before Ellis arrived (he had been a director of BCFC). That old board was out of touch with football in the 1960s: the truth is Ellis was out of touch with 1990s football.

    Fully agree with this. Ellis’ approach to “running” AVFC held us back particularly in the early years of the Premier League. He was so risk averse we missed the opportunity to compete at the top. Remember, we came second in the first year of the Premier League - then slowly slid down to mediocrity and we all know what eventually happened. I could rant on but no point - we now have owners who seem to have a long term, strategic, approach to developing AVFC so let’s all be positive.

    Well said sir.

    And The Trees is redundant.

    Anyone else think Levy is Ellis re-born?
  6. PerryBarrPet
    No, this is just the latest photo of the Jasper Carrot sweet at the Sty.

    Yep, he probably thinks cunnilingus is an Irish airline.

    Drenched in golden rain and expired in ecstasy.
  9. PerryBarrPet
    Perhaps, but he is used to the occasional downpour.

    Professor Emery should be offered the Lucasian Chair of Tactics given his deep understanding of all things football.

    Tie a plank across your feet otherwise you may disappear for ever.

    Yes in a way it does but it includes relegation from and promotion into that ‘super league’. No closed shop as was expected for the ‘European Super League’.

    Has this flight arrived yet - it’s 21:42 now? Any sign of who is on the flight?
  14. PerryBarrPet
    This is from a French Football journo so who knows.
  15. PerryBarrPet
    I think it indicates he has had colonic irrigation.
  16. PerryBarrPet
    Back to bench-warming for him.

    Yes we do need to add consistency etc. but I see this as part of the growth cycle outlined in your previous post. In fact these additions will help to push us forward.
  18. PerryBarrPet
    It certainly is a gamble but what’s the alternative ? Low risk mediocrity for as long as the fans will fall for it? HDE comes to mind.
  19. PerryBarrPet
    Seems far too scientific for our recruitment system.
  20. PerryBarrPet
    Yes, they will take shithousery to a new level.
  21. PerryBarrPet
    Seems just the type of player we need.
  22. PerryBarrPet
    Agreed. Lee Kang-in in, Nakamba out?
  23. PerryBarrPet
    Jacob Rees-Mogg ?
  24. PerryBarrPet
    I think it’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka of ManU.
  25. PerryBarrPet
    Never down to you then?
