    Chris Nicholl. That's who he runs like.

    I believe the full game will be available Saturday on club site. I've seen Sat May 29 ok 7.00 for the Final - not sure how accurate that is. Anyone else reminded of a great Villa centre half from the mid 70's when they see Swinkels ?

    Arjun Raikhy is being mentored by Neil Taylor - who has a Bengali mother. And I agree - he is an excellent all round player

    Could not agree more re Gidman - attack or defence - no problem.

    Puts me in mind of the HK sevens a few years back Johansson ( now with Rotherham) went off injured at HT in the semi. Only GK in the squad Mitch Clark played 2nd half - and all the Final in goal. We won it all.

    I haven't watched any of the ladies games - but I would agree and go further. The gap between the divisions is matched by the gap between the Top 4 and the rest of the division. 2nd 10pts ahead of 3rd & 4th who are 7 pts ahead of 5th. The only close positions are at the bottom.

    The problem with Indy is that no-one really knows his best position. He is NOT a out and out striker - more of an attacking MF - possibly playing wide as a winger. I think he has to come to terms with the fact that he is not top class - and possibly more important for him, he has been overtaken in the USMNT pecking order for players of his age group. Sad.

    @BOF I've seen 23/4 as a birthday for Ruben Shakpoke - and when we signed him in Oct 2020, he was supposed to be 16. Wouldnt that mean he was still 16 - too young for a pro contract ??

    Don't think it was played at BMH - due lockdown. Hnec no cameras
  15. SirSteveUK
    He's No. 2 GK in the Academy - and we have 2 more following him - so you may be right. Our best young GK is Viljami Sinisalo - on loan at Ayr Utd. Onl;u 19 - and already 6'3"

    Of course - I remember the right headline (for the 2-0 defeat in 1962) but the wrong match

    1. Strangely, the 4 managers who has the worst win ratio over at least a season in the Ellis+ era were all Scottish - Tommy, McNeil, McLeish & Lambert. 2. Undoubtedly, Tommy - although ultimately unsuccessful on the field - did indeed seem to ignite the club (and the fans) from a collective slumber. 3. That Spurs team also included theexcellent Scottish inside forward John White - hence the Argus headline "WHITE makes it HARTbreak LANE"

    Ok - I've read the thread - great time.....about time we saw this guy. One Villa Legend - not because of longevity - in fact the opposite. But possibly, the best CF I ever saw play for us. And the only ex-coal miner to have a section in the Inter Milan museum I wont post the link here - but you can search YT for "England 8 Mexico 0 1961" and see Gerry's debut. He never left Italy as a player - retired there. It is easy to see that he loved the Italian lifestyle - Went to '62 WC and took 19 Italian suits with him.

    Douglas >>>>>Blackburn (loan)

    Seb Revan & Mundo Bridge are interchangeable - both play either LCB or LB
