RIP big man - 3 years to the day OS On this day in 1992, Villa played their first match in the newly-formed FA Premier League. Dalian Atkinson had the distinction of scoring our first Premier League goal, his late equaliser earning a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town at Portman Road. The two subsequent home games also ended 1-1 – with Atkinson scoring against both Leeds United and Southampton.

Mentioned it in the press conference, couldn't see anything on the OS or youtube

WOW, who is this guy? After listening to that I’m almost compelled to create a Twatter account just to follow him

Sorry all, next time I'll produce my own infographic rather than relying on something I found on the internet, I though I would post for info rather than accuracy of scale Anyway it was from the Sun so I guess you won't be too surprise.... And before anyone starts slating me for being on the sun site, I only happened on there as response to a question that came up in another thread.....

NSFW - You need to get a Danny in your Home

All though we seem to be veering OT I was looking into this a little earlier before coming into this thread. Apologies it's the Sun but an okay article on it... https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/9625785/var-premier-league-rules-2019-20-video-referee/

same as me, size wise, I went for an XL after reading the size guide and getting the tape measure out, and it’s okay (although I would like a little more breathing space but that is my personal choice) my pot belly doesn’t stick out anymore than a generic large sized t-shirt does, seems a little long below the waist though

Sorry didn’t know how to react to this so gave the confused reaction. Over the few years that I’ve been on here, how many times, when there has been a rumour of one of our ‘what has been perceived/evidenced as a ‘complete/total/partial dog shit’ players been sarcastically big’ed up for any visiting/guest fan to read and cream over. We are in a rather, I don’t know how to describe it other than ‘safe zone’ to a point where the we are protected except from the occasional troll, where as Twitter is open season. But anyway you did highlight ‘fans’

So although some may be a little disappointed there hasn’t been a signing today, maybe we were doing a big FU to all those that were saying ‘doing a Fulham’ by not actually signing anyone today let alone signing 5 players on deadline day...

I feel bad for posting in the Chant thread after the Charlton friendly, I thought it was funny at the time, on retrospect it was inevitable though. Good Luck to him and hopefully he can step up his game otherwise another ex villa prospect not quite good enough

To begin with I thought this was the beginnings of a chant suggestion but then you lost me, Sorry

Some funny f***ers today started some chants - Andre Green, he is one of our own... turned into Andre Green he is going out on loan If Hogan Scores, I’ll suck his d!ck. Same tune for both I think....

Hey fella, I think I saw you rushing to find your seats a couple mins before kick off, hope mini Rugeley, had a good day,

Anyway, training top fit - I’m usually a M/L depending on the cut/make, this is (XL) feels a little tight but considering what others have said I’m not overly surprised, seems a little long in the body for me as I’m just under 6ft but not as tight around the arms (not a gym goer), but all in all not bad, sponsor logo looks like it could come off after a couple of washes though )maybe the way it way folded ) which maybe not a bad thing for some....

Update for anyone interested - received an email from Hermes with a picture of the delivery driver, the same person as yesterday’s email. I was nearing home and I spotted some punk that looked similar coming out of a van with one of those mesh back packs, waited (10-15 mins) for them to return to the van, finally got the parcel rather than wait for them to say no one was home ( there was a longer version to this story but thought why bother)

Not my first negative experience with these muppets unfortunately... wish I knew it was going to be them delivering before paying for the order....

Totally agree if I had known it was going to be them delivering I would have just got the train from London and bought it at the club shop...

F***ing Hermes, ordered a training top yesterday morning (next day delivery) in the hope to have it for Saturday but also have input to this conversation. But no, bunch of words removed, saw the tracker update ‘Delivery attempt made....’ F@&£ off I’ve been home all day and not heard a squeak....

I was just typing the same thing edit - Bugger missed the goal

I know this is only a pre-season friendly but I'm looking forward to this game (I joined signed up for the Claret Membership to ensure I got a ticket (still 24 left by the way)), I don't often get to see the Villa in the flesh, and I used to go to the Valley many years ago when I worked with a Charlton Fan, and the caretaker at my kids' primary school used to get cheap tickets. Last time I saw the Villa at the Valley (at with the home crowd) was the 2-1 defeat (The Barry Game score a penalty and then got sent off) and I would like to have to opportunity to give him as much $hi+ as possible, even though that was over 13 years ago.
