  1. Hopefully that goes all the way to penalties which they win after the 20th penalty is scored and theyll be knackered and happy to think they’re gonna win the League Cup which hopefully they don’t depending on who they get in the final?
  2. I live in the Highlands where my Scottish wife spells the shorter version of mother Mum but the Brummy in the house, me, has always used Mom which is common in Brum and the midlands, you should come sometime and you might learn something but I doubt it, you have to want to learn and be ably to learn.
  3. Was that the day we signed KDB and Messi?
  4. Is shagging his mom bizzare? It’s hard to say unless you’ve met the lady in question?
  5. Two words you don’t usually see in the same sentence!

    Unai Emery

    Unai is Villa now it’s already seeped into his heart and soul he’ll take us with him forever and thst will hopefully be right to the top!! NSWE will get a huge bill from the cabinet maker for trophy cabinets over the next few years!!
  7. Is this the room for an argument?
  8. I couldn’t agree more! And you can bang on about the early 80s as often as you like for me! I think it’s that spirit that won theleague and the European Cup You can talk about ability and skill sets for as long as you like but what always matters most is the heart and soul that players bring with them and the best managers recognise and nurture. That was true back then, is true now and always will be. Of course football talent is necessary too, or you and me would get a game, no disrespect to you mate but I wouldn’t pick me, in fact even my lovely Mom, if she were still with us wouldn’t pick me!
  9. I’m not sure we want him to totally eliminate it, it’s his aggression that elevates him above many of his fellow PL midfielders both in our squad and the opposition’s!
  10. I’ve accepted that we are third in the PL!
  11. Hopefully Slippy G will snap him up and take him to the riches he deserves!
  12. But would he (Tim)become home grown again after a few seasons not being on loan?
  13. We could sell him to Man City then!! They love an expensive bench warmer without the worry of ffp to which they seem immune of punishment!
  14. A mere technicality, on football computer games online, trickier for Unai in the real world!
  15. Hopefully he can reach the @TRObase line of 7 ft in the near future!
  16. Missed the boat on the need for cabbages as part of the match day experience I’m afraid.
  17. Perhaps that’s why we have appointed Heck? Let’s see what our figures are when they’re released. Since Heck has sided with punishment for FFP transgressions, I’d imagine that our figures are reasonably healthy or at least he expects them to be in the near future.
  18. I thought he was pretty clear about wanting to get to know the club and fans before saying anything much. It appears that in here VT his biggest mistake is not being Christian Purslow and in that respect he has a similar problem to Monchi. I’d imagine that isn’t a problem as far as the owners and our Manager is concerned, just the opposite I’d have thought!
  19. Whilast you may be right, there’s no denying that was a tired performance after a long run of difficult games most of which we did very well in. It’s the stage of the season when injuries amd suspensions start to really hurt the less experienced and less expensively built squads, like ours. Why do you think that the FFP immune Man City consistently win the league and late season cups? This January Pep the Cheque will be up to his usual tricks of strengthening their squad wether they need to or not and weakening their rivals, I hope we’re not stimied by the usual ffp nonsense designed to protect the hierarchy amd keep the likes of us in our place. I’ve no love for Newcastle and particularly their state ownership and how it conducts it’s sport washing nonsense to hide their sins but it’s noticeable that they’ve been fairly aware of ffp and haven’t used their full financial muscle as they know the world is watching, However their results and performances have dropped off at this stage, the PL and European football is as bent as a fishing rod with a good fish on the hook. I hope we can find a way to strengthen in January, central midfield muscle is always handy and Sorry @TRO a fancy Dan winger who scores and creates goals would be just fine. Control and fear is a great combination for a team like us.
  20. Absolutely spot on they always say that 2-0 is the hardest score to defend and that was certainly the case last night, but our disappointment is probably a measure of how far we’ve come under Unai and that shouldn’t be forgotten. The truth is they have a much stronger squad than us, particularly at this stage of the season when this becomes more obvious once injuries and suspensions are more problematic to smaller, less expensively assembled and experienced squads like ours. It happens every year when the likes of Man City are always very strong. Hopefully we can quickly bounce back and can also strengthen in January if ffp restrictions allow. Hopefully we’ll find a way but I read somewhere that our commercial revenue, in august 2022 at least was still £12 million behind our 2016 levels, I don’t know how given we had a good CEO running the club?
  21. Blimey Chris either lay off the booze or open another one! Whichever cheers you up? Don’t be sad at Christmas this is the new Unai super powered Villa! Merry Christmas and UTV!!!
  22. I’m hoping that there isn’t a shock and we win easily!!!
  23. Me too mate, if we build it they will come! Hope you’ve had a great Christmas and the best bit is yet to come!!!!!
