Ironically I think Smith needs a break. He's lost his Dad recently and seems to have lost his way as well. wonder if/when relegation is confirmed he can hand over duties to JT until the season is over then we can take stock.

I cannot help but groan when he comes on. Sorry Trez.

I can't imagine he'd give up on us even if the UTD rumour is true. Can imagine he is very frustrated though. Also, perhaps he knows he will be playing every game so is conserving energy?

Hi all, I'm in Brum tomorrow and would like to get my 9 year old a top. Any advice where to get one from? Last time I came down sports shops (JD/ sports direct etc.) Weren't selling. Is the club shop at the ground open? Or any alternatives? Cheers!

If this is the case then they all need a kick up the arse. Why isn't JT getting more involved- even if its dishing out bollockings? They're just all so passive and apathetic.

I apologise to all the idiot drivers on the M62 I ranted about under my breath whilst listening to that shite on Radio 5. I should be used to it by now.

Mine is my name, my beloved team and how many more points we will get this season

Just couldn't put it in the onion bag

Spoken like a true Bluenose

Send him on as sub, he will be like a puppy let off its leash!

Have to say my own personal dealings (through work) with the police have been positive, I have had to call them a few times when dealing with volatile young people and they have never exasperated the situation and have been respectful and dealt with things well. Of course, when I've attended matches I've been spoken to and treated differently and appreciate they have a job to do. There is of course good and bad in every job and walk of life.

Well, Reading the last 10 or so pages of this thread has really depressed me. Think I'll go and cheer myself up by reading the Generic virus thread instead.

Respect to TM for taking part, he is a human first, footballer second.

I wear a snood that I got for completing a race years ago. When I shop now, I wear it and it definitely reminds me not to touch my face.

Has Dominic Cummings got a prescription Windscreen?

One of the most difficult periods of a lifetime and we have a total disgrace of a man and party in charge. This is a time for leaders, people of honour and steel. We are lumbered with a lying, dribbling, public schoolboy who thought he had a pubic hair until he peed out of it.

Has to be Yeadon

Henry for me. Loved him until his goal against Ireland

Its has been - Shrek

Never thought I'd say this about JG but what a prick. Sorry he got caught. The fact that he made the post about staying in hours before would have surely meant it was fresh in his mind and to then go out and try and drive whilst pissed. I'm sorry but there is no excuse. Sod being young (24? Is that really that young) he will be media trained, have all he needs at home, mentored -after his misdemeanors before - surely. No excuse Get him volunteering in a hospital until he can play again. People making excuses for his behaviour are part of what is wrong with society today.

This is why this has peed me off (again, if true) Just spoke to my son who lives over 2 hours drive away from me and I've not seen for 2 weeks due to isolating. He's written 3 poems: one about De Gea, one about Ramos (I know!) And one about Grealish. He's reading the Grealish one to me with the hero worship and innocence of a 9 year old, I'm thinking I hope he doesn't find out about this and it isn't true as I'll be embarrassed and ashamed for him. Like it or not footballers are role models and now even more so kids need people to look up to - perhaps we all do. Grealish will be absolutely slaughtered for this - the public outrage will be huge if this is found to be true, and if it is Villa's best player, fan or not I certainly wont be defending him.

So annoyed at this (if true) the vast majority of us are complying and staying in, not seeing people we care about etc and he goes out to a party with guys over 30 (who should be mature enough to know better) This is our captain ffs. No excuse and undefendable.

Well if he counts Mccormack as one of his mates then he will get in bother. Absolute idiot if true.

Just went and did the biggest of big shops, great set up in my local Aldi, social distancing observed, and not too busy. So surreal seeing people wearing masks, gloves etc but also good to see them not taking chances. Ended up going to the co op and sainsburys mini markets as unable to get gluten free stuff from Aldi. Really feel for the retail workers at the moment, in at least 2 stores a couple of staff visibly shaken/ scared about being at work, horrible situation to be in.
