  1. And because Emirates has been here for 18 years now, I no longer see it as a 'soulless bowl' but just an Arsenal stadium.
  2. I'd say it's more likely for Luton to finish 15th and overtake Brentford. But that's for another topic.
  3. What we have to remember is that we are no longer aiming to compete for places between 12-7th. In those places, a swing of 5 positions with 4 games to go is very possible. We are talking about overtaking teams who lose 5-6 games all season. Liverpool lost 4. We are 99% not overtaking them.
  4. No, it's not possible. He is either a messiah or a fraud. That is the Villa way.
  5. The only way I would take Toney is if he was made to bet £1m of his own money to score a goal in every game he plays.

    Porto

    so much better than Lisbon!
  7. Yup. Will get an interim manager and Southgate in the summer. Please make it happen.
  8. I get what you are saying, but a new stadium is not a weekend thing. It's restaurants, gyms, offices, hundreds of jobs, concerts, maybe a smaller comedy/small show venue. It would be a 2nd (much grander) NIA. It's also thousands of people using surrounding pubs, public transport, going shopping after, using hotels, etc etc. It's exactly what a big city needs. I don't think it will happen, but it might be a boost that the city needs.

    Unai Emery

    Great. That means season 2041/2042 will be shit once he leaves.
  10. Personally I think he would have as much of a say in the matter as Watkins has.
  11. There is no way a manager (regardless of how good he is) has any say into the infrastructure project of building a new stand.
  12. That's like saying 'my wife hasn't been great recently, I know I have had 7 divorces in the recent years, but she just can't do the job. I think I should go for Monica Bellucci'

    Liverpool

    There might be another bold Dutchman available soon.
  14. I reckon if Barca players all chipped in 15% of their weekly wage, goal line technology could be introduced. You know, as a 'make-up' present for all the fuc*ery they are doing to la liga.
  15. Even if we time wasted in the first game (we didn't) what relevance does that have to a game played a week later in a different country? The yellow in 2nd leg was the ref being an idiot, a theme he kept throughout the game.
  16. England is a very interesting country. Tea with milk, flat beers, fans prefer to have a pie than support their teams. But I wouldn't change it. (maybe some more fan engagement would be nice!)
  17. Nope. Let's win a European trophy. We are 4 games away. This is what you'll tell your grandkids about, not about Villa finishing 4th.

    Arsenal

    I mean, I wouldn't say they "battered us" but I thought it was a matter of time before they score. They were good, even if we defended well.
  19. Yeah, because it's a squad game - just because you play Tim rather than Luiz against say Derby County doesn't mean it's not taken seriously. You can't play the same 11, and even if you could, it's not a good idea.
  20. So you would rather have the money generated in order to win trophies rather than... winning trophies?

    Arsenal

    Here is my take - I hope Bayern win 7-0 and we get 4th. If we are 'hoping' for things, this is my wish.
  22. I mean, sure. I don't disagree. But there are levels to it. One person might feel watching Barca and PSG play is supporting the slow death of football. Others might say me typing it on a phone built in china is a crime against humanity. I just watch the show of football; the players are not to blame. I don't get emotionally attached to it. I could watch CL football or put Netflix on. I like live sport and this is some good football. That's as far as most people, including me, go.
  23. It's the best football in the world, no question about it.
  24. Honest question with no sarcasm intended. Considering the expansion of Birmingham and its growth over the last 200 years, isn't it likely that Solihull becomes Birmingham within the next few decades?
