The Moustache of Teale

You missed out the bit where it’s ALWAYS more than the 500kb limit… which is why I want the GIF keyboard back, but I seem to be the only one. I tried to find a gif earlier, tried 4 different ones, all over 500kb so gave up 

I’ve never had an issue with mine being too big. Are you sure you’re doing it properly?

I was born in Birmingham and have lived in the south or west of the city most of my life. My parents are from Ladywood and Great Barr and I have relatives and friends in north Birmingham. My view on how local team support is spread is this:

North: Kingstanding, Streetly, Perry Barr, Great Barr etc - heavily Villa

North East: Castle Vale, Erdington, Sutton etc - heavily Villa

East: Chelmsley Wood, Castle Brom, Stechford, Sheldon, Yardley etc - heavily Blues over this side

South East: Acocks Green, Solihull - again, a lot of Blues

South: Moseley, Kings Heath, Kings Norton etc - quite a mixed bag but I’d say Villa fans outnumber Blues

South West: Selly Oak, Northfield, Longbridge etc - again a mixed bag but these days more Villa than Blues

West: Harborne, Quinton, Bearwood etc - more Villa than anything else but some Blues and also Albion due to proximity to the Black Country

North West: Winson Green, Handsworth, Handsworth Wood etc - majority Villa but also a fair few Albion

Not even going to give my view on spread of support for Liverpool, Man U etc as the glory-hunting words removed can’t be taken seriously.

WTF is that

Viewing this on my phone and after a few drinks it looks somewhat like a bunch of unkempt straggly pubes.

Summonsing his transport to take him to Birmingham as we speak

It’s a war of attrition between us and Sevilla. Gorilla warfare.

Aston Villa, according to Brian Wilson.

God only knows where he gets his information from.

I will never get the obsession with this shirt. It’s absolutely gopping

It was so different at the time. For me, part of the affection for it was that it was under the Big Ron era, when we played some hugely entertaining football. I saw us win twice at Highbury in that kit in the 1993/94 season. So for me , it’s a kit that I associate with good times.

This is one of the best gifs I’ve ever seen. 

Although it has made me slightly nervous about my next visit to Sainsbury’s in Selly Oak.

It’s pronounced Monchee, not like Mon-key. You all had the awful puns correct the first time around.

I apologise, and retract my statement. For some reason I was thinking he was Italian, rather than Spanish. 

All 'monkey' puns are OFF, 'munchie' puns back ON. 

 

So you’re telling me has wasn’t born from an egg on a mountain top?

Seems that every player speculation thread involving a non-British player descends into a “why would he choose Birmingham over [insert name of European city]”? debate.

If that was the be all and end all we’d never sign anyone and might as well give up.

Players can choose to live in the sort of luxury most of us can only dream about whatever club they play for. And they have most of the rest of their lives after what is a short career to live in or experience whatever cultures or locations they desire.

There are so many factors that come in to play in a player’s decision as to where to move next and why, that there’s no point in over thinking or over analysing it. 

As a club, we’ve got to be an attractive proposition to any player right now, and whilst we have to be realistic, we shouldn’t put ourselves down. We’ve got as good a chance as anyone of securing Tielemans signing, if, as reported, we are interested in him.

I think Ange is in for a shock if he thinks he can play all out attacking football in the Premier League.

Well it worked for Bielsa. Oh, hang on a minute…

Whatever's going on their fans having an absolute meltdown on their forum, calling Radrizzani all kind of names, 'rat', 'toad', 'amphibian,' swear words, and as bad as Ken Bates. Seems like jeopardizes sale to 49ers as well.

These Wind in the Williows / Captain Beaky and his Band themed insults seem a bit tame for your typical Leeds fan.

Open your back door around 8pm and if you're very quiet and very lucky you might just hear his agent laughing all the way to el banco.

win or bust for them next week then.

tbh, i have no idea what is going to happen in that spurs game, Leeds can be terrible but also are at times capable of wacky results, you would expect Spurs to beat them, but Spurs are also capable of wacky results/losses.

Who knows what is going to happen.....

Even if they win you’d expect Everton to get at least the point they’d need to stay up against Bournemouth
