  1. Apologies all round if this has been posted - but to illustrate the point on squad turnover that many are making, this shows the %age of last seasons minutes played by players STILL at each club. Obv this may change through the window.
  2. Equal to a training camp in say Portugal - and not playing any games. It's not just the game we are going for. Also brand awareness.
  3. There is no trace of any tweet re this on Baileys Twitter account that I could find
  4. I've read that same article in more than one place - probably doing the rounds of Trinity Group newspapers. A tour-de-force of a reply. Bravo
  5. Sirrah - withdraw that disgusting slur at once ! At once, I say ! Agree - the most underrated winger we ever had. Great to watch
  6. My God - 360 posts in 24 hours ??? and few of them of substance .....how many would there be if we ACTUALLY announced a signing ???
  7. Stagecoach for Sheffield Hiw about "Dancing Round Wolves" ?
  8. "West Ham want a player in return in any potential deal that would see Diop depart for Old Trafford but United not willing to give the Hammers the player they want." I wonder who that could be - valued at approx 15M ??
  9. Well, he goes by Wesley - so that's all you need to pronounce.
  10. No, nor the Knights who say 'ni'
  11. Old but perfectly compos mentis thanks , I own and use an IPad, an IPhone and a laptop - but not all at once, mind. Gerry Hitchens 23 (25) R.I.P. Peter McParland 22(25) Bobby Thomson 20 (22) () incl FACup 1959/60 My first season as a fan - and my first away game - at the Hawthorns. But - quiz question - who did we play?
  12. I am old enough to remember a season where Villa had THREE players who scored 20+ league goals. #differentera
  13. I'm so excited about this Brazilian, my pubic hair is standing on end.
  14. It was terraced on the front but the back was just raw earth bank - to avoid the queue to leave, Dad and I would scramble down the back - ankle-breaking territory. I believe the last piece of the old Lower Gounds amusement park was a stretch of wall along the backs of the houses in Nelson Rd. I remember seeing that. It in turn was part of a raised walkway which exited the Witton End where it joined the main stand. In fact it was part of the long building shown in the picture posted by MARVILLA above I can also remember the Argus headline "Villa 11 Hitchens 5 !!. Rather confused me as I thought we were playing Charlton! Hitchens was a God to me for the short time he was at Villa
  15. Mike - you beat me by a month - December 12 2-0 v Cardiff (with whom we were promoted). I was 10 and I was parked down the front of the Witton End by my father to watch the game through those railings that showed about 20 coats of paint on them. The players looked like giants with thighs like telegraph poles and a young kid would instinctively take a step back when they came to get the ball. It was a few years before I was trusted in the Holte.
  16. Not much mention of our need at LB - may I recommend a player whose current club is in a "need to sell" FFP situation ? And one I think would fit into DS system...and not unfamiliar with AVFC
  17. well, to wear the shirt, you don't actually need both legs ...........
  18. I too am in the same canoe - ESPN+ was very good
  19. We didn't sign Tulip from Blues - he went there from Villa
  20. Apparently Ryan Kent from Liverpool may be the first signing, followed perhaps by Joe Aribo (Charlton) and James Justin (Luton)
  21. Not really - just looking at him in goal - he';s F***ing tall ^^^^^
  22. Its just a list that eddiemunster sent me - saying they were all in last year of contract. I have no idea - but feel releasing players like colin and dmitri is no good
  23. Really ?? - we've released them ALL ??
