    Here you go then, 10 or so minutes later: For me, there isn't yet a Good or a Bad Tim: It's good, but possibly fatally-flawed Tim, and we just have to wait and see if he really is fatally flawed.
  2. CrackpotForeigner
    Maybe not much good today, but still our leading goalscorer. He has a lot of skill and pace, although his vision and physical size maybe limit him a bit. He's frustrating, because in many ways he's just a couple of skills away from being a truly great player. Some of the tricks and passes he pulls of are wonderful to watch, and I put him in the group of our best attacking players along with Grealish, Traore, Ayew and Gil.

    Tim has been good in the transfer market overall, and he has some good players now. It just seems he doesn't have a clue how to get the best out of them. Jokes aside, if we ever manage to get Traore, Grealish, Gil, Sinclair and Ayew on the pitch at the same time we could be truly frightening for defenders this season.
  4. CrackpotForeigner
    Ayew's performance is the best thing about this game.
  5. CrackpotForeigner
    Rudy Gestede is the worst player I've ever seen. He is so useless he's never going to score if the game goes on for another thousand ye...
  6. CrackpotForeigner
    Veretout was pretty anonymous in the first half, but bloody hell he's picked a couple of good passes since then.
  7. CrackpotForeigner
    Are they saying we are worse than watching tramps drinking Strongbow out of each other's arses with straws? If so then yes. That's not so bad then.
  8. CrackpotForeigner
    His whole psychology looks wrong at the moment. He has no swagger whatsoever. He walks on looking like the kid who wasn't really invited to the party, when he should be Hugh Hefner.
  9. CrackpotForeigner
    The question is whether the growing pains are the problem, or the manager. Probably a bit of both. Hopefully TS can improve on his reading of the game. I'm giving him time because he did very well in the transfer market and hoping against hope that Ayew will make him look even better.
  10. CrackpotForeigner
    If he can play more than 20 X 90 minutes this season he probably will save Sherwood's job. But more likely he will get the Bejeesus kicked out of him every game and spend a lot of the time injured, like right now.
  11. CrackpotForeigner
    Yes he actually said that .... Sherwood said that? Or a fan? Well, both really. (actually I've no idea)
  12. CrackpotForeigner
    No it was definitely four at the back.
  13. CrackpotForeigner
    Pray we get Traore and Gana back pronto, and that they somehow stay fit. If they both do we'll get so many crosses in even Ayew will score goals. If it doesn't work out like that it's probably curtains for Tim. Apart from pretty good work in some departments of the transfer market his good work as manager so far amounts to two Premier League games and two FA Cup games. Grim.
  14. CrackpotForeigner
    It was definitely more than two, and I'm a fan of BG (but not a fan of his distribution).
  15. CrackpotForeigner
    Better that they score first than we take the lead early and watch ourselves bollocks it up.
  16. CrackpotForeigner
    How much of a look have we actually seen? Give the lad a chance. No villa89, it's clear that most of our signings this year are massive flops, and we should sell all of them, bar Amavi, for £1m each just to cut our losses and get them off the wage bill. Lambert out! Everyone out! Whilst your sarcasm is clearcut, I'd bite your hand off for 1m for Ayew.. Good job you're not in charge of negotiations then. Too right. Aston Villa would get a bad deal and some poor bastard would lose a hand.
  17. CrackpotForeigner
    They're. Bad grammar can ruin an otherwise formidable argument.
  18. CrackpotForeigner
    IMO yes. Kindof quirky at times, but the plot is very good, the script is occasionally brilliant, and the story is plausible thanks to a decent amount of research and budget.
  19. CrackpotForeigner
    I believe he was heard to say "Ooh, Jesus Christ", which reinforces the metaphysical element to the story (though adding "Holy ****", as he did, introduces some doubt).
  20. CrackpotForeigner
    And as per the excellent quote in Off Topic a while ago, those who can are condemned to stand helplessly by while others repeat it.
  21. CrackpotForeigner
    Obviously he's got deficiencies, but at least he's recognised that he needs plenty of help (which Lambert failed to do). He seems like someone who will make the effort to learn how to play a tactical game. If he doesn't he won't last, and I hope he does. His heroics in the transfer market have won him plenty of patience from me, anyway (but then I'm a patient guy ).
  22. CrackpotForeigner
    I too will hold no truck with it.
  23. CrackpotForeigner
    There's only one Adama Traore One Adama Traoore The End.
  24. CrackpotForeigner
    Please make it stop. Help yourself to speculating about other players, but please leave Jack Grealish alone ffs. He's grown up at Villa, his family are Villa through and through. He's notorious for living and breathing Aston Villa. Maybe one day the years of speculation will wear him out like they did Dwight Yorke, but for now I'd imagine he's a very happy Villan. Way too early for Sale-by-Internet-Messageboard.
  25. CrackpotForeigner
    Don't take it personally. There's a strong argument for him playing for either country, football reasons aside.
