  1. Agree with a lot of points here. For me it is a simple fix… We have two train stations….they need to run more specials (with more carriages) to and from Villa Park. Obviously they don’t see the congestion as a big problem or else this would be already done.
  2. El Ghazi scored 10 premier league goals last season and one in the league cup This year 3 goals in 6 appearances I’d argue it’s only three because he has only played six times. Of course he is a limited player you only have to watch him play to see that……but he really is under estimated on here. If we signed a player with his stats now most would be happy.
  3. Can’t see a win there….no matter how hard I try. Not twice in a season.It’s just not possible….
  4. I think that it is clear Dean Smith had assembled a lot of good players and staff around him at VP. The set up at Bodymoor Heath is also very good. This was an open goal for SG. Dean Smith can consider himself very unlucky i don't know how he let it slip but he did. I would have backed him to come back from it too like on the other occasions he rectified a loss of form. However the owners want consistent improvement and slipping back once a season and having to find your way back is not this.
  5. For me when he came into the team for the Wolves game (did we win one nil) he wasn’t spectacular but looked like he “should” be there. He did all the right things. Hes not another Jack who could be? However he will have a very good top level career. Hopefully with us. UTV
  6. This is exactly how I think. What is the point of being the type football supporter who is constantly pointing out how bad things are going to be and how things are going to fail? Joyless
  7. I am constantly surprised at the negativity and maybe I shouldn’t be? it’s the easiest thing in the world to be a naysayer…..just say something won’t happen/will go wrong and then sit back and wait for something to actually go wrong (generally a good chance of that happening in football! so no real risk….) ohh look at me I’m so clever…… “told you so it was never going to work” All this hope I’m wrong rubbish too…
  8. How can something that hasn’t actually happened be a real cock up? There has been nothing from the club about this…..nothing. On this thread we’ve talked ourselves into a world where Gerrard has been approached and he’s rejected us all before a single fact has been announced. Crazy
  9. I can understand why people feel a little down about the window. It can be summed up in two words Jack Grealish.
  10. Last year was a stunning start to the season.It shouldn’t be used as a benchmark. We are not Man City.
  11. Whenever I have watched this guy play he’s been top drawer. Admittedly I don’t watch Bundesliga often. But when I do it’s usually a big match (Dortmund v Bayern etc) Seems to me to have been i high level performer in the last five years for Dortmund and Belgium. Villa can’t sign these players at their peak so if we have to do it at the end of their careers then so be it.I would love him at Villa.
  12. Ben Mee has played a big part in this move. Thug.
  13. Caleb Chukwemeka looks like a player.Direct and dangerous Archer great,hatrick on your debut…it doesn’t get better than that! JPB looks very lively. Carney was the least effective but still showed good touches. The centrebacks backs were given a difficult physical game and looked uncomfortable at times. Love that we can despatch these type of teams with an under23 side now.We’ve come so far in 3 years.
  14. This thread started 18 months ago with a discussion about Sheffield Utds possible Champions League qualification. Take nothing for granted in football!
  15. This guy will shine with Ings,Ollie and Bailey all showing for the ball in front of him. Now…. if they aren’t we need someone who he can confidently give it to who can hold play up and wait for the right moment. Fast forward two years and Jacob Ramsey could be that man. For now we need to bring someone in.
  16. We won today and there were a lot of good performances from our players out there. Newcastle we’re poor second half which was similar to their game against West Ham last week. I like a lot of our players they clearly all have ability, though I think we are missing a midfielder who can get on the ball and “boss” the midfield. A player like this would allow us to push into the top half for sure. Easier said than done I know…but I can’t help feeling that we haven’t made our best signing yet.
  17. I’m quite happy it’s Citeh to be fair. There something less real about them then Utd Liverpool or Spurs.
  18. That's semi finals in both cups......or final in one and quarters in the other. Ambitious but i guess we have to hope for it!
  19. Top striker in his prime. Knows where to be... Knows where the ball should be.. Know what to do when he gets the ball. Most importantly has the ability to to put this knowledge to good use. I'm going to enjoy watching this guy in a Villa shirt.
  20. Yes he was stand out for them in that match imo
  21. I must have too Having said that I have been working away from my PC….so that puts me at a disadvantage
