Mjvilla

Newcastle philosophy of not buying players over 26. Callum Wilson and Jeff hendrick. Danny rose ended up there on loan too.

He's had 1 domestic management job and got sacked after getting relegated. Taking his team from a 12th placed finish down to relegation. Bit in bold is simply not true and, in fact, is completely wrong on every level.

I don't doubt jack's drive for villa will always be good wether it's to show England or not. The question is, will he have his head turned if he keeps getting overlooked by England? That's the big worry for me. He clearly wants to play for England, alot.

Jack isn't stupid. He will see himself putting a MOTM performance in and then the next game, dropped to the bench and not getting on. He will look at the players that started in mount and rashford. He will realise he is clearly behind them. Then, the players to come in. Sterling, greenwood, foden, Sancho. All 'top 6' players and all will be considered ahead of him by the manager. (I use that term loosely). I'd be amazed if he's in the next squad if they are all fit. Amazed. Is that what we want? Selfishly, yes of course it is. Save him for villa. But is that what jack would want? Absolutely not. And that's the key bit for me. Would jack wanted to have played tonight? I'd put my life on it he would've. So, that's what I want for him!

I think it's more to do with what jack wants. He wants to play for England. If jack is playing for villa and getting regular minutes for England then happy days. If jack is playing for villa and not getting a look in and sees the players ahead of him all at a 'top 6' side then his head May be turned. To suggest that villa fans have forgotten about jack in a villa shirt is a pretty outrageous claim. I think we just want what jack wants.

Looks like one of the most famous par 3's in the world at pebble beach to me!

By paying 30-40 quid though, you get the atmosphere and experience. It's, obviously, a completely different thing. It's the morality of charging a struggling economy an excessive amount of money for one game, when you can buy passes etc for a third of the price. You don't think sky and BT make an obscene amount of money from their TV rights? Of course they do, to then make us pay £15 if we want to watch the team we love for 1 game is obscene. Like others have said to watch villa for the next 3 games, it'll cost you £45 on top of any other subscription. To watch Everton's next 3 games, it'll cost you nothing on top of your subscription. It's exploitation. If you see nothing wrong, then I really struggle. I hope NO ONE pays £15 for a single game of football on the telly. NO ONE. and that idea is binned forever. Money grabbing bastards.

£15 is an absolute joke. To view on a sky sports channel too. Sky making money from this. **** THEM. They demand enough in subscription fees. Bunch of **** arseholes. Wish we could shut sky down. If EVERYONE stopped paying for it. It's the only way. Scumbags.

I remember a couple of years ago, I was going to play golf at the belfry. Me and my dad were very early so went to bodymoor just to have a look. We parked up by the gate and just had a look what we could see. The old man has been inside so was telling me bits and bobs about it when a jobsworth security guard came out to tell us to leave. So, in answer to your question, I very much doubt they would allow you to visit.

I stopped reading here as I couldn't agree more with this.

Hope Grealish and Mings have been giving all the Liverpool lads absolute pelters.

Grealish in the midfield 3? The place Southgate said he doesn't see him playing??

I've just done that BBC select the XI to face Wales tonight and all I could think when selecting was 'id rather konsa', 'id rather konsa' when going through the list of defenders.

What on earth is the lineup? Calvert-lewin and ings? I've of them will play wide?

Watching the sky sports deadline day with the 2 redknapps (ugh) and they were asked this question. Jamie said Everton and was talking about them and the signings they've made when Harry shouted over him 'villa'. I usually think he talks aloaf of old bollocks but I though he spoke really well of us and our dealings.

Has Richard O'Kelly taken over Smith's role as the man that sets up the cones?

Sanogo? Is that yaya sanogo who has done nothing of note at any level?

Very true. But despite this comment, I also remember a few people commenting on the board and how they weren't trusted. How purslow can't be trusted and he is using the club as his plaything or something similar. We had no reason not to trust them. None. Let's hope we live and learn though. Like you said a few posts back, let's hope when we suffer defeat that we look at it more objectively and not start throwing disgusting accusations towards our board and asking for the managers head.

Liverpool lost 7-2. 7-2. They completely gave up and lost with a whimper. But in the post about it you said 'allison, mane and Henderson loss didn't help them'. Agreed though, and like a select few on here suggested, it was the players and not the manager who was our downfall. The players weren't good enough. Takes a big man to admit theyve changed their tune though and changed their thoughts, so will commend you on that.

Not my intention at all. Trying to point out the hypocritical nature of some of the views from last season. It's easy in hindsight definitely, but I thought it was quite clear how difficult Dean had it last season. Imagine if, like many wanted, Dean had been sacked. I wonder where we might be and how bad things could've been for us. I'm glad, for starters, that the board saw the future with dean. It's good we have the people at the top of this club making the right decisions.

A bit like losing Heaton, mcginn and Wesley for large parts of a season? Yet you heavily criticised him a lot last season. Completely ignoring the mitigating circumstances.

How does this side compare to the one that lost so convincingly last time in this competition?

Well, we have mcginn, Doug, Barkley, hourihane, Ramsey, nakamba for the midfield role. Lansbury can be got rid of so not sure We need to upgrade him.

Where have you seen these numbers?
