Unai Emery's Fortress Villa Park. Sponsored by Adidas. And Comcast. And Orascom.

Would Occam's Razor not suggest that he's just picked two players on form? He's picked Ollie before, and Ezri was in the squad previously. Southgate's a nob, but he's not blind.

I don't know what clarky can means.

Nah, they use knives now...much quieter.

Free brand new stadium helps too...

Ironic we replaced Purslow with "three people in the aggregate"

You are Bon Jovi and I claim my £5

Villa 2, Sheffield 0 I think...

Thanks for your input.

Honestly, this is fine. Do this one. Is it my favourite amongst the fan mock-ups? No. Is it perfect? No. Does it match the badge on a T shirt that my wife bought me? Also no. There will never be one crest that will please everyone. Even the round badge from this season that some are clamouring to now keep has previously been dismissed on here and Twitter as "too similar to Chelsea" and "the lion is facing the wrong way". Personally I'd get rid of the star as it's a bit small time (obvs we are going to win CL next season, what do we do then? Another rebadge?) and change the colour of the 1874, other than that I think it walks the tightrope between heritage and modern relatively successfully. Claret badge on a claret shirt regardless of lion colour would look crap. Especially as it will be difficult to match the colours exactly between shirt and crest materials. Claret lion on blue with no other colours looks a bit dull and boring. If darker detail is used on the yellow lion, it will still be visible against the blue at smaller sizes. I'm not sure why this version hasn't been trademarked, other than we seem to have some reactive numpties at the club. Image below is 100 x 100 pixels and bottom image is 50 x 50 pixels. You can still even see the star at those dimensions for those that still want to see it.

Maybe that "leak" on twitter was real then?

I thought he was claiming to have become clairvoyant

Are you down a well?

Lettuce hope he comes in.
