  1. First player I ever saw score for us live and at Villa Park. Will have a small spot in my heart for him because of that but otherwise not sad to see him go. Don't think he and Kodjia in the same team work together.
  2. Glad we'll get another crack at him if he deserves it. Will be interested to see how he goes for Forest.
  3. Scored the most goals in the league (80) and still got relegated!
  4. Watching the Bundesliga highlights program, Julian Brandt has caught my eye a few times.
  5. If he is suffering from depression or has another kind of mental illness he has my sympathy and I hope he recovers quickly to help us and more importantly himself. Otherwise this is just another of chapter of 'Aston Villa: A laughing stock... (2010 - ?)'.
  6. Managed to get across last year to sit in the Lower Holte to see us lose 2-1 to Swansea. Had the stadium tour the next day after it had been announced Sherwood had been sacked. Also managed to get into the away fans area for our following trips to Southampton (Cup) and Tottenham. Loved all of it apart from our performances. Would love to come back and see us win a few and be there when Villa Park is really rocking. Don't think it is high on the list of the missus priorities though...
  7. Would be looking for a pool and sun, relaxing kind of honeymoon based on our previous holidays but also with the option of 1-2 day trips to landmarks or scenery etc. We've been to Karon Beach (Phuket) before and we are headed to Fiji in May of this year. At the moment we're considering Hawaii (Honolulu and Maui). I thought of Mexico but a friend warned us off it due to the Zika virus. Missus wants to go to the Greek Islands so maybe that's what we should be looking into...

    Podcasts

    Not for everyone, but big fan of The Dollop podcast. Comical and often sad look at stories from American history.
  9. He's been out for a long time hasn't he? Even if he were to come back he'd need quite a bit of time in the U/23s to get his match fitness back before he's ready for any first team action.
  10. Got engaged at Christmas and perhaps the only thing keeping me sane about the initial stress of planning the wedding, is the honeymoon ideas. Anyone got some good recommendations for relaxing locations?
  11. Realistically I'd like to be back in the premiership and stable, looking to push on to bigger and better things in the next 5 years. If we don't get out of the Championship within the first 2 seasons it will be interesting to see how we all cope with the situation - we could be trapped down here for some time in that case.
  12. Would be smart to include a recall option then, if we can.
  13. Is it strange that he was in the starting line up against Spurs? I'd have thought if initial game plan is to sit back and try and frustrate a 'superior' opponent, it's not really playing to his strengths and he'd be better off the bench when you're trying to nick a goal in the 2nd half.
  14. Got pretty fortunate with the finish, but they all count.
  15. I saw near the start of the window there was a rumour linking him to a Chinese club for 8m. I was very excited until I realised it must be bullshit. Even a Chinese club wouldn't be that loose with their money.

    FIFA

    Would rather earn qualification. The qualifying games mean less and less as it is.

  18. Nonsense! He'll be sculling pots at the cricket when he is 100
  19. I'm keen to see what he can do with a bit more exposure but I understand where the club is coming from. Why develop him any further if he doesn't want to be here beyond this season?
