Cereal boxes. Specifically, opening cereal boxes without tearing the top of the box

Its ridiculous how difficult this is EVERY time. Sort it out!

So fatigued by all this now.  It's on practically every channel.

Almost like a perfectly staged distraction from other important issues we should care about.

Brentford just spent 22 million on Schade and Leeds are spending 30 million on Rutter and neither have the same pedigree as Bailey

25 million was really nothing in the current market

We'll be lucky to finish 11th this season imo. How many more 25-30 million pound players do we need before this is achievable? 

West Ham have spent a fortune in the summer and arguably look worse for it. Sometimes its the right combo of players to get a solid foundation that is most needed, we haven't had that since O Neil left.

I'd have Trez and El Ghazi back over the useless gits, at least they showed passion and gave their all

The problem with losing El Ghazi is that we haven't got anyone else like him at the club during or since he left.

If he was a 10 million pound signing you might be more forgiving for the massive swings in his performances.

25 Million for the Bailey we have seen so far is a rip-off in my eyes.

Traore was better for my money.

Slightly disappointed he hasn't kicked on. Not a great defender or attacker at the moment.

Thought Gerrard's awful system was hampering him for a while but not sure what to think now. 

Wolves just the better team today, it happens. Let’s not get on the players backs. We can still win the 2nd half.

I really like the idea of Cash in an advanced role.

Not very often you are confident as a Villa fan but even money on us today is incredibly tempting.

Is this not on Telly tonight?

It’s on multiple channels if you have the correct source but not on UK TV.

It doesn’t matter if Guardiola decided to drop Man City and come to Villa Park, we simply don’t have the squad for 6th place, we don’t even have the squad for top 10 in my eyes. 
 

There has to be some more quality signings made before we kick on.

Thought we played ok and at least we didn’t sit back and just take a 2-0 loss like we may have done in recent years. If we want to improve you have to go for a win in most games regardless of the opposition.

Were still one quality player short in all 3 areas of the pitch, obviously the keeper today as well but that was just one game.

Nobody likes to lose a game but this was an acceptable loss for me as we actually had a go at them and on another day could have bad 2-3 goals. Have to just take this one on the chin unfortunately.

I’ve just finished Pinocchio as well and thought it was fantastic. Some of the voice acting was superb and the themes of life and death went far deeper than I was expecting. The star of show is of course the amazing stop motion, it’s some of the best I’ve seen to be fair. Aside from a couple of songs that didn’t really hit the mark and maybe as Mike said above there isn’t a clear target audience, it’s certainly not a kids movie and is actually quite weird in general but I would expect nothing less from Del Toro, I think it’s great he was allowed to make it exactly how he wanted without a box ticking exercise going on.

Watched Midnight Express last night. Great movie. A real classic.

Truly a great film for getting into the Christmas spirit.

People who live out their entire lives through social media just baffle me, its truly one of those things i don't understand.

Just live in the moment for Gods sake!

If the Fury Uysk fight doesn’t happen I think we can safely assume it’s because Fury bottled it, Usyk absolutely wants that fight.

Jezza as well, aka Jeremy Kyle. He did that 2 strangers and a wedding stunt. He ended up marrying the woman afterwards.

Yeah i think he came after Tim, right?

Wasn't as good once it changed IIRC.

I used to like listening to BRMB, when it was a local station. Now, I think most are just broadcast from London.

I always have the radio on at home when i'm working - Absolute 90s is my current choice. Sometimes i'll switch to 80s. 

Tims confessions was excellent, used to listen most nights while playing on my dreamcast.

When the supermarket own brand fizzy drink is 60-80p you would be mad to pay the branded prices. Apart from coke there’s barely any difference in the flavour, especially if you drink sugar free.

Decorations up and Christmas songs on the radio ok from tomorrow, i guess?

Wasn't talking about you at all mate. Just how sensitive fans are en masse to any perceived slight - even when factual or debatable - against the club. 

Also people take just the snippets of spoken words and put them into quoted text to get reactions. I'm sure Bailey in his interview was essentially meaning "I had a bad season in my first year at Villa and even then clubs were interested in me and I could have joined Ajax a Champions League club. But I want to stay and prove my doubters wrong that I can be a success here at Villa and in the Premier League"

 

I totally agree.

It's so tribal and without merit half the time. Same goes for comments on referee every week because he's blatantly against Aston Villa for some reason.

Yet we declined

Yeah, a manager like Gerrard will do that to you.

Deano is a top manager.

I'd gladly take him back as a manager one day.

Norwich fans certainly don't think so and you could argue Brentford only improved once he left...

Hes a good man but clearly not a top level manager.

Just watched the midnight meat train. How the hell have i not heard of this vinnie jones movie?

Bloody good horror flick

It's a bit of a hidden gem that movie. Early Bradley Cooper pretty good as well.

I know we've all come to expect Americans to say and do mad stuff but that is incredible. At least he's not gay is all he could say to that.....
