They could call him "Kung Fu" Pau

Every generation has different challenges. Back in the 80s tickets for Villa were a few £ and kids could afford it easily. Try spending £60 every other week as a teen now. Unless you are in a war/starvation situation (or need specialist medical help) no generation has it easier/worse than the next.

The Villa luck. Wait years for Champions League, get it, and play against West Ham.

Anfield's new behind goal stand started being built in October 2021. It was finally fully opened only a few weeks ago? Numbers wise it looks like a similar sized project, other than they haven't fully knocked down the previous stand? It looks like it cost in the region of £80-100m.

We have to be careful what we wish for thought! Problem with beer sponsors is that it's mostly large international breweries. The piss beer that we will have to buy at the stadium.

Other than the apparent large cranes which have been mentioned in the past, I can't see how our project might be affected by demands for contractors/materials for HS2. The more I think about it, it really isn't that big of a project. It's like building a large apartment block/office building, hundreds of which are built across the country. I would hazard a guess that considering limited indoor space (hospitality suites, toilets, media etc) is is largely a roofed over terrace with beer taps. I know nothing about construction, but my idiots logic tells me that building an office 15 storey might be a much more demanding task. Stadiums are being built across Europe. We are planning to build less than a quarter of a new stadium (I say less because additional infrastructure like roads etc is already there). Now, I can see why owners might not want to spend £100m more than they expected. Its their money. But I guess at some point something will have to be done.

Probably they are currently worried about turning the witton lane toilets into hospitality areas and looking to bring in porta potties just outside of the stand.

I didn't expect a 2nd coming of Totti. I expected a filler for when Ramsey is out. And I'm still underwhelmed.

I do wonder why there isn't more talk about legalisation of weed in the UK. It has recently been legalised in Germany.

And most people who gamble don't have a gambling problem either.

Just wait for the anti-gambling sponsor minded people to destroy your suggestion of an alcohol led advert

Isn't the 'PL' the clubs themselves? Any such decision would have to be voted by 20 teams. Which in itself is silly because Sheffields and Burnley's have very different goals to Arsenals and Liverpools.
-
Sure. But why would NSWE want to 'weaken' us and everyone else? Especially as we will likely be competing in Europe?

Buying a car that is already on the market is much more environmentally friendly than building a new one, getting all the parts for the batteries, transferring everything around the world, running massive factories, getting workers to build it, the costs to environment are not even comparable. You can have an argument between a new traditional vehicle vs a new EV and EV comes out on top. I have no issues with that. But 2nd hand purchases are more environmentally friendly for cars that barely burn any petrol and do minimal miles annually. And that is before we even consider things like 'I just saved £8k, we can now afford solar panels and a heat pump'.

100% people should agree that if he was in fact going for the ball, he made a shitty job of it. And that's the bottom line.
-
You are probably right. It's not a fair comparison. I love the idea of a brand new car, but I always question myself; why. But that's just me. If everyone thought like me, there would be no cars. If I was shopping around for a small nippy town car, £15k is not the price point for me. But I appreciate there is a market for these, my close relatives are in that market. So I am looking at it from a purely subjective perspective. If I want to have a nippy weekend shopper, I can wisely spend £5-8k and still not piss off the polar bears.
-
It is still £15k for the cheapest model of a very basic vehicle. You could easily buy a used Aygo with a 1ltr engine for £7k which will burn next to no petrol (I just checked the combined consumption of 68.9mpg) and if you are green I guess the 2nd hand market is where you should be looking. And there are no downsides if you have to pick up relatives from Luton airport or want to take the family for a weekend in Wales. I am really rooting for the electric vehicles, but to me, this is not a tipping point just yet. But well done Dacia.
-
Sure, hence I see your arguments and very much sympathise with them. But as you mentioned yourself, the government looks to intervene precisely because it is unlikely Villa or Chelsea or any other ownership might want to take their money and just give it to lower league clubs. We do so already don't we? This is an improved deal. And from a business perspective (which I have no doubt is the perspective of NSWE) it is about Aston Villa having the most money to compete with the clubs at the top. And while I share your sentiment, it is their money so their thinking might be purely bottom line driven.
-
I don't have a strong opinion one way or another, but why are you dissapointed? Isn't the deal taking money away from Aston Villa towards other clubs lower down? Isn't it like Tesco voting to funnel money to Co Op? Why do you think the businessowners might want to go for it? Due to the kindness of their hearts to fund a Shrewsbury player getting a transfer to Burton Albion?

How so?

Yellow card is to pull his shirt. We see a few of those every game. Red card is to do what John did.

You can't leave the house without sugar puffs?

I can't believe the mental gymnastics we are doing to claim 'it wasn't a red'. It is the reddest of red cards. It's not accidental, he's not going for the ball, intent is to 'get into him'. It's not badly timed, it's perfectly timed to break up spurs attack. John did exactly what he wanted to do. And (other than the punishment) it was the right thing to do at the time. Break them up a little. It's just a shame other players didn't have the fire in their bellies.

I am sure plans for additional prawn filling to the pastry in the expanded hospitality suite section will definitely help.

Little spoiler about the Aston Villa Future. In the future, one day, we will win the Premier League. Also, in the future, one day we will get relegated.
