  1. I agree, Newcastle is certainly a one club city. Birmingham and Brummies generally aren’t particularly overly showy about where they live, the general perception of the city from non Brummies and Brummies alike is that it’s a dour sort of place with an accent to match. So we’re unlikely to ever sell ourselves as cool and trendy. Huge Appologies to any of you that are cool and trendy, I assure you that I was largely speaking for myself!! But hopefully you get my general drift? Perhaps we should embrace AI, and create anything that we want??sorry I’m just a boring old Brummy rambling on about nothing!!
  2. I remember a bloke behind me on the Holte who had us to win 4-0/1 or something like that. All was going well until we scored our 5th!! UTV!!!!!!
  3. Whilst I think what you say about Aston is largely true, that could also be said about lots of areas. I had an old aunty that lived in Alum Rock and my Mom used to say that the area used to be nice and regarded as quite posh in the past. That’s just the passing of time, if we could see into the future we’d be very rich! I’ll let you know if I ever master the trick!!
  4. Fair comment but I think we should try to give the “10 Champions Leagues in a row”, idea a go all the same, you never know?
  5. The official word may well be a fudge but Heck had just walked through the door and the truth may well be thst he needs more time to assess what the best strategy is, especially given that it will affect us for a long time. He may not like any of the plans he’s been presented with but he doesn’t want to rush into another plan that could end up a poor and unproductive and expensive plan that doesn’t take us forward in the short, medium or long term. I’m sure he and the owners have penty of ideas but they want to take time to get them right before any big glitzy announcement thst they later regret. Which I’m sure with regards to the bigger picture I’m sure is why Chris Heck has been appointed and why Mr Purslow was allowed to leave, without much effort to retain his services.
  6. That begs the question, “why?” Away fans aren’t supposed to enjoy themselves!! Ok, I’m partly joking an overall good experience, ruined by the result for them would or should be the ultimate aim. A new stadium in town isn’t a terrible idea and has plenty of merits but would we be able to go, “up town mate?”
  7. 1970s or 80s that should say my texting whilst not around back then doesn’t improve with the passing of time!!
  8. Yes I’d agree that most things point towards our future being a good one. Ok it’s not likely that we will win the PL or CL anytime soon but the dreams should never be dismissed completely. In my lifetime we’ve been in the third tier and almost bankrupt on a couple of occasions and yet have won the league and been champions of Europe. I saw my first ever Villa game at Villa Park when we were in the third division, it’s had its ups and downs but never been boring. We’re like no other club on earth, nothing good, bad, glorious or downright disastrously depressing can ever be ruled out and that’s as true today as it was in the 2970s and 80s or more recently. I think that Spurs have a chairman/CEO that’s similar in his mind set to Doug. A good businessman but frightened to spend money on footballers, that being humans aren’t always reliable. I hope he stays at Spurs for a long time yet! Doug did a lot for our club but his faults are well documented, so I won’t go over old ground again! The worst thing he ever did was possibly to sell us to Randy, who’s heart may have been in the right place on the face of it but he wasn’t a proper businessman, who’d msde his own money, things went from bad to worse though when he sold to Xia, who didn’t actually have either money of any idea how to make any. It appears now though that third time lucky we’ve got it right in the football ownership lottery, which our history will tell us that anything could happen but I’d prefer to hope that my glass is half full rather than half empty. Athens in May? Would you bet against us?
  9. Fortunately he’s in the right place to get all the Unai he needs and I’m sure he’ll improve as a result. A diamond that needs a cut and polish to really sparkle!
  10. True this is the part of the season when they tend to go very Spursy too.
  11. Yes but the best centre half we or anyone else, ever had used to play in midfield for his country, so perhaps it shouldn’t be an idea to dismiss so readily? Perhaps as a one off for this game considering the circumstances?
  12. Oh maaaate!!!!! The gift that keeps on giving is never too away when we need them!!!
  13. He’ll have to wait his turn, there’s a queue you know!!
  14. There was an appearance of Kenneth, who I thought you were looking for earlier Jim.
