A'Villan

A foul is a foul. If Grealish wants to be the best, he's going to have to be the best, and play to the whistle. Here's why.. The 'Bad Boys' philosophy and strategy for retaining their title and continuing their dynasty was to stop Michael Jordan. The very reason the Bad Boys enjoyed two consecutive titles in the first place, was their ability to quite literally beat the Chicago Bulls, in particular, Jordan. The Chicago 'undeniaBulls' met the 'Bad Boys' for their fourth straight year in the postseason playoffs.. The last three had seen the Jordan led Bulls eliminated. Something had changed. Jordan and his now untouchaBulls had come of age. No longer tinged by frustration and disappointment, their focus and strategy was on their own game. The incrediBulls went on to achieve the greatest dynasty known in basketball history. Which all started when the Bulls mentally saw beyond the Bad Boys tactical focal point, denying Michael Jordan. This allowed the Bulls to realise their strength.. Literally using 'foul tactics', and at times sheer unsportsmanlike behaviour, the Bad Boys came undone when Chicago learnt this.. Wishing that the Bad Boys and their tactics were not a reality of the game was useless. Overcoming them was the only way. Jordan had labelled the Bad Boys an "unprofessional and classless" team. When the Pistons walked off the court before time expired in Chicago’s clinching victory without congratulating or acknowledging the Bulls, it only backed up his words. Leeds couldn't beat us despite their dishonesty and an extra man. They are now without Bamford for their next two decisive matches. We're a team.. and a bloody good one as is. We'll take the set piece opportunities in our final third like we have all season. We're number one at that.

"There must always be a Stark in Winterfell" - Catelyn Stark This line has had quite some significance.. Bran held Winterfell when Theon took it for the Ironborn. The Night King was seemingly defeated when a Stark was in Winterfell.. This never would have come to be, had a Stark not been in Winterfell. Weirwood trees are very significant in this story. I am suspicious of the Night King using 'the vision' to lure the Starks out of Winterfell.

You never know with this show. I feel like it constantly delivers. Half expecting the Night King to return.. Surely the Mad King saying, "Burn them all" means something. That happened in King's Landing. I know a story and therefore the show has to come to an end at some point. Still fully expecting some serious twists and turns, or at least a decent finale.

Had 20 chicken wings at a cost of $20 today after basketball. Good times.

I'm pissed about getting a taste for Leeds' ethic and morale. It's like a bucket of piss somebody farted in. Very unpleasant and I'm slightly resentful for the experience. I shouldn't be though. F*** Bamford, we're going to be the one's who hit the ground and cause them to be sent off next time. Hit the ground running we will, and send them off back home to Leeds for another year in the Championship!

There are no pointless fixtures. Can't help but just enjoy the moment with what's happening at Villa now though. Be interesting to see how those selected go against the highest points earner of the competition.

They kept saying, "change is going to come". We said, "when?" Dean Smith said on March 22, 2019, "People are having to work very hard to keep their shirts.There's a competitiveness in training, and I can see in the matches now, that people are playing to the top of their abillity and others pushing to get there, and you know, want to push the boundaries of how good they can be." The Villa faithful began to see, Smith's words had meaning, that change for the better had been bestowed them with the arrival of one of their own, a fellow faithful, Dean Smith.

Bielsa gave us some justice in the moment by showing leadership and instructing his players to give a goal back to make things somewhat fair. Automatic promotion was on the line, aside from top spot, the pinnacle for any club in the division, everything to be gained and a season of work on the line. Bielsa's blood would have been both hot and rushing, same as everyone on the pitch, in the stadium, and concerned by the fixture. He didn't have to tell his players to step down.. So credit where it's due, we owe him that.. We also owe this, due to the nature of the game and the actions of Bielsa's men, we owe Leeds a thorough beating next encounter.. Playoffs here we come.. Congratulations Dean Smith's Aston Villa. We're down for the crown.

Most emotional I've been all season and for the wrong reasons.. Bielsa at least showed his leadership.. Fuel to the fire for the playoffs..

Ripper game so far..

So looking forward to this!

Episode 3!

Plain porridge for breakfast. Get it in ya.

Also, could the 'Mad King' of been shouting 'burn them all' because of similar circumstances to Hodor being told to 'hold the door'?

Little finger was from Braavos apparently. He also met a girl in the stables right before he met his end and paid a Braavosi coin to that girl. Was it a paid of faceless man who took the fall for little finger? I think that would be too much to throw in with the time that's left personally..

I know that times were hard, I know that you been feeling down, if you only knew how I'm feeling for you, If i could take your pain, I wish I could wash it all away, if you only knew how I'm feeling.. Razorblade Salvation - Jedi Mind Tricks

Wake up, don't cry, so sad inside, I still get through the day, I'm going to make it anyway, Wanna give up, feel like hidin', yeah I get down, but keep fightin' I still get through the day, I'm going to make it anyway..

PG played good D, so his response is understandable, purely on the basis that he was eliminated by the shot.

Lillard please..!! Some of the best highlights I've enjoyed recently.

Absolutely, Rob! Sound advice.

Yeah, I don't know Demitri. I don't particularly like telling people that I lost my marbles. It was all quite unpleasant. I'm just grateful they didn't throw away the key like yesteryear. I guess the reason I ask VT is that relationships are all about feedback. So to give some context to my question.. A previous relationship was a part of the onset of my condition. When my psychiatrist and I were discussing moving forward and where I wanted to go, the discussion of allowing new people into my life came up and psychiatrist told me that I would have to tell these people that I have this condition, I'm assuming because of the emphasis this psychiatrist placed on the 'fact' that the condition was permanent and despite my improvement, the likelihood of relapse. Do you inform lovers that you have terminal cancer? STD's? Of course. Thanks for your comment, I think I will keep it on a needs to know basis in my dating life. Whatever that means haha. No, it probably means that as long it doesn't compromise anyone's quality of life or emotional well-being then I think it can be kept between me and all ten of my personalities (a bad schizophrenic joke).

Deserved winners. Record broken (for the better). Playoffs bound. Can actually reclaim 'Prepared' motto. I'm in bed by 1am. Most of all, enjoyable football on display. Revel in it Villans. This is football to be celebrated. Let's see what Leeds have got!

I'm in Australia brother. I'm sure it's SKY or whoever rather than AVTV who would frown upon a VPN.. Business is business.

No complaints from me. We are looking in very good shape for double digit victories and as Rob said, sending me to bed happy! Have to say, excuse me if it's not allowed, but had my first experience using AVTV. Absolutely perfect viewing and money to the club.
