  1. I just looked at Newcastle next 6 fixtures and apart from Man United the other 5 are against bottom 5 sides. They also seem to be picking up a bit of form.I do worry that fatigue ,injuries and loss of confidence in defence may mean we finish the season poorly.
  2. Think there is a gross overreaction to this on here for a change. I remember many times in the past we have done this but under Emery it’s a rarity. Lets not make a problem of it now by overt negativity.
  3. I love Villa park and I was lucky enough to see us in 80/81 in the Holte End . Every time I go to the ground I feel privileged to watch our team play in a such an atmospheric environment. This is a new feeling for me if we want to be competing in”the top six” we have to move to a new stadium.if we want to be a club battling it out midtable and possibly being relegated we stay at Villa Park. We need a stadium that is easily accessible,has improved facilities and has the ability to make money with hospitality and other uses. Considering how poor other midlands teams are we could be a much more major force.
  4. Had to sit in the Johnny Haynes end was very difficult to control my emotions especially when Watkins was wiped out in the penalty area and no pen awarded. Fulham is a great ground very old school,the whole stand I was in was wooden didn’t think that was allowed after Bradford Fire. Wasn’t Luizs best game but he reminds me so much of Dennis Mortimer in the way he runs forward with the ball maybe it’s the beard.
  5. So other figures you can lambast must Bernardino Evaristo,Jeanette Winterson Mark Rylance etc very much establishment figures. I must admit whenever I hear of some writer or musician accepting those honours a small part of me dies.
  6. Conservative with a small c.I wasn’t talking necessarily about what party people vote for in a particular election.Many people who voted for Blair probably voted for Cameron.They favour middle of the road,retain the status quo.The BBC cannot be seen to be too far away from that position.
  7. I just think he would not be a typical establishment apologist and would probably speak freely about what he believes. I really like the BBC.I don’t agree with all of the views of the political presenters,I can see that people of many different persuasions can see bias but they have to walk a very difficult tightrope.A majority of this country are conservative supporters and have been for the last 50 years.They are going to have to reflect that.
  8. I know the Tories always think the BBC is full of lefties and the left think the BBC is establishment but maybe that tells its neither. The Today programme before Christmas had Hanif Kureishi and Andrew Malkinson(who spent 15 years in prison wrongfully convicted) as guest editors.You might say it’s tokenism.
  9. Lazy,bottled it,gave up couldn’t be bothered,did it purpose because all of our players are Man U fans. We were beaten by a team who we have beaten once or twice at their ground in the last 50 years. We didn’t play well but McGinn scores that chance we win the game. My worry is Duran,Diaby Ziannollo look way off it.
  10. Was just about to make a post about how I think he is incredibly underrated by Villa fans and by the wider football community. I was worried when Mings was injured because I thought his presence was crucial to Ezri but recently he has been outstanding. Easily our best defender but his forward distribution is not as good as Diego or Torres.He will only be really appreciated when he is not playing.
  11. Yes so many happy memories of singing “win the league,win the league “ etc probably my all time favourite chant.The fact we did win the league probably helps.
  12. I remember in 80/81 we beat Liverpool 2-0 in early January and the players and the fans began to believe it was possible, To beat City today in such a dominating way can only be good for the players that anything is possible
  13. Confucius (or was it Clint Eastwood in Good,Bad etc)said he who seeks revenge should dig two graves.One for himself and one for his victim.
  14. I thought Djemba Djemba was going to be our Roy Keane (only joking) I thought spending 7 million on 31 year old ex alcoholic,drug addict Merson was a mistake I thought signing legendary drinker McGrath with dodgy knees was a mistake I did think Douglas Luiz was overrated and we should sell him for 20 million I thought Mcginn was finished What it makes me realise when people talk about what team had a good transfer window is total bollocks.You cannot judge a player until they have played at least one whole season or in some cases more to judge it a success or failure
  15. A complete and utter disaster? No.We were out muscled and out fought by a very strong team. For me the worst thing about today is the loss of Mings.Many opposing fans and some Villa fans criticise him but to me he has been a rock in defence and we always seem weaker without him. We need to stay loyal to the general direction of travel and not shit the bed.
