Cheers all, I’ll see what the weather is like on the day and what kind of mood my lad is in, and if he’s up for walking

I’ve parked here quite a few times, it’s usually a £10, but was a £5 for the Europa games.

Only a five/ten min walk

Wolves losing, Newcastle losing, Liverpool losing and Man Ure losing… thoroughly enjoying this!

Sheffield United 1-0 at old Trafford 

Fantastic  

He’s miles offside lol

They don’t seem terribly confident.

But I thought a team like Chelsea should be wiping the floor with us?

(I’m still bitter about the words of that slippy scouse fraud!)

Carlos/Mings/Pau and Konsa is surely enough to start the season with in terms of Centrebacks. 

I suppose some of that depends on Mings’ recovery, we all hope he’ll come back as good as before but it was a hell of an injury to get and he’s 31, so there is the chance that he won’t be able to perform at this level anymore. We would all be gutted, I love Tyrone and he’s been associated with such an amazing part of our history, but I think as he progresses and recovers we’ll need to decide if a young CB protege is worth getting in this summer to avoid being short.

I like the look of Tyler Morton at Hull (on loan from Liverpool), bit of a CM/DM hybrid but has some decent stats this season.

Yeah he does look good. 
 

I also didn’t realise Gnonto at Leeds is still only 20, he could have a bright future and if the price was right I reckon Emery could get some good results out of him

I do wonder if we’ll look at the Championship again. If so, who? 

Harwood-Bellis from Man City on loan at Southampton comes very highly rated, only 22 and could be an understudy for Konsa and Pau. Man City might want silly money for him though  

(I realise that isn’t really ‘going to the championship’ though, apols)

Chelsea look a team whose season is over and going through motions

But then against Everton they looked resurgent and like they had something to prove… a very strange team. On paper they’re good and they’ve shown glimpses, but battered tonight

Can't wait to be hated by other fans as one of the new "Top 4"  

I imagine they’ll think of another name for us, possibly of five letters, and ending in unts

I also really like that we bought a big stake in Real Union.

There aren't many ways (or examples of) clubs and owners being able to show their support for their guy. Supporting his private venture that has huge sentimental links to Unai, really puts a stake in the ground that he's our man and hopefully ties him to us a little bit longer

And his son is in our academy too.

You'd have to start at his feet, and upgrade through the season to his eyes. Free food and drinks on upgrading through each joint. 

Shotgun watching through his scrotum.

If he does stay til 2027 then he’ll be our longest serving manager since Ron Saunders! 

Yay! King Unai!

The deal was something like 10 mil up front and another 10 mil only if Sheffield survive. If they don’t then Villa don’t get the other money and are obliged to buy him back for, say 8 mil. So, essentially, it’s been a 2 mil loan. 

Ah fair enough. Like you say, it’s a glorified loan, which was clever by the club to protect our asset and clever by Cameron to protect him too

We're also getting Archer back, as we have an obligation to buy him for £9m if Sheffield United are relegated, effectively meaning it was a loan move.

I might be wrong but I read that Sheffield payed £21m for him… so that’s a tidy profit,  even if it’s £9m we’d rather not spend?

A. ****. Drop. Shadow.

I think it’s the drop shadow that gets me too… I mean, it’s not gcse coursework

It's just because of that interview where the CEO of Coca-Cola said he was a Villa fan.  Nothing in the rumours and speculation. 

Ah I hadn’t heard anything about that.

I didn’t think it was possible for a badge to look more like a Word Clipart than the Lerner badge… but there it is. The Heck badge is so shite. 

I see loads of people on Twatter talking about a deal with CocaCola is that just a rumour? I hadn’t heard anything about that but there’s quite a few mentioning it?

It said we won by 2 goals… maybe it is all a fix!?

Arguably in the top two or three seasons of my 40+ years of supporting Villa. (92/93 & 95/96 being the others)

Same here dude, I’m 38, and the 95/96 was the previous best that I could remember, I sort of remember 93 but I was only 8 so only snippets. It’s been an incredible season, loved it, and so proud of this team regardless of what happens now.
