Dave, I sit next but one to Carl Chinn, so well versed in all the lingo, my mother was black country too......The one I like is a "Bob Howler"

how many folk know what one of them is?....even some brummies struggle, well the young 'uns.

I think its spelt "Bobowler" mate, you do mean large Moth right? 

I liked phrazes like "Going round the Wreckin" which means taking the long rambling distance around a route or taking to long to explain something.

Ackers- Money

I think most will know Barmey.

A face as long as Livery streets- means someone looks miserable.

This ain't getting a baby a frock or pinny- means this is not getting us nowhere and its wasting our time.

Donnies- hands

It's a bit black over Bill's mother- The sky is dark and it's going to rain ( My uncle Bill used to say it to me when I were a little nipper) it used to confuse me and because he worked in the forges I'd say your Mucky Uncle Bill but your mothers not lol.

Back of Rackhams- famous Red light spot once at the back of Rackhams for prostitution now House of Frazer if it's still there that is? Anyone know if it is or not?  'She'll be round the back o'Rackhams' if someone's accused of prostitution or I'll end up at the back o'Rackhams' if she felt like she were being forced into prostitution.

I still say "Bostin" to this day and because I now live in yorkshire I screw some peoples heads up with it.

I guess you struggle with Peaky Blinders then? The old Brummagem dialect is hard to emulate.

I don't think it is but I am from the black country myself and grew up with the old sayings. Some of the lingo from back then, these days you say it and people are confused as hell.

i agree but i feel the same way about english accents talking NFL...it sounds weird

they even americanise the way they say defence by pronouncing as deeefence. but it sounds just as weird if they say defence the english way when talking NFL...so not sure what the solution is.

back OT, listened to him for the first time this week and will be an avid viewer going forward. great content.

Heard pete say Walzall not Walsall lol.

Comments like this from Everton fan on there site is lovely to see:

(I was actually at Villa Park last night (Holte End) because my son lives in Birmingham and I was so impressed by the atmosphere. The Villa fans got behind their players from the first whistle to the last. They were every bit the proverbial 12th man.)

Then you get one that made me laugh:

(It's great to see that Villa players still go to the same Hairdressers as Grealish.)

Its lovely to see that Hair comments are still being aimed at us, am afraid were stuck with that despite Grealish gone

It is a garbage rule. 

I also hate that they get booked for celebrating with the crowd. 

Yet they can run along the opposition crowd flicking v's or making Zulu signs and that's perfectly OK. 

This I can understand why it should be booking for player as fan safety is a concern as neither player or fan should be crossing the barriers. We've been through it before where a player even Grealish went into the crowd did he not and got hit by a camera man. It just cuts alot of potential grief out and threats. Also as players do cross into fan territory you have mass fast stampede into one area, just a quick gathering and potential of someone falling over and being ran over. As I do stewarding we consider any group who can't be moved on a potential risk and danger. Also any group where its difficult to see waist up once your line of site can't see past the outer layer of groups gathered is a risk. 

Bailey these he's insane and I hate to being Grealish up but Bailey does what he does but only faster, better also down the line I believe. We won't even notice Grealish gone with having Bailey alone in our squad.

Loved his goals they were absolutely wonderful and wouldn't surprise me if that first of his will be goal of the season or a contender to it.

Do you know what I want to see at the end of the season is what sets both Ings and Tammy apart. Would it of been worth the extra cash or not and who out of Tammy's and Ings has benefitted there team the most.

Came onto the thread for the first time since it was created and Dave and Nick are still peddling Tammy???

Top commitment lads, I suppose. 

See you in January. 

It's a Deal

For more Tammy then, to be continued!!

Fantastic tonight from this bunch of Lads, they have worked there socks off and done a job on West Brom.

They have a good future ahead of them.

He's repeatedly said he moved to win things and play in the CL.  Why do people keep talking about it being for money?

He said he'd like to play in the champions league, never heard him once say he wanted to do it with another club.

It's the things he has said to the club and to the fans that clearly showed he traded in what he had for money and I don't blame fans one bit for hating on him for it.

Sure he wants to better himself and theres nothing wrong in that. If Jack had of just left for City and he had not said some of the things he obviously said, I doubt there'd be any problem with it from villa fans. 

I think they are coming to sheffield utd again in a week or so.

He is world class and will shine for city.

 

Looked more world class at Villa than he does at City, I'm afraid it was just a money whore move and whatever made Jack the player he were ended when he threw in respect and loyalty for the expensive way of life and medals.

In a way I don't blame him for doing it but he could of showed the world for once that money doesn't always make a player or define one and sticking by Villa would of showed that.

I'm so happy for him. He lived out his personal dream with us. He's living out his professional dream with them. 

When I retire from the teaching game, it'll be the personal memories I made outside my job that I cherish over those made in my job. 

Jack captained Villa. That will always be his personal pinnacle.

 

Doesn't look like a personal dream when ever since our Owners come in he were looking for a way out at one of the usual top finishers in the league.

I just don't get this 'not good enough for where we're going' argument. Its like an astronaut wearing his moon gear when walking around downtown Miami because he doesn't think his normal clothes are good enough for where he wants to go to. Is Mibgs good enough for where we are now? Yes. Is he good enough to try and get us into Europe? Yes. Is he good enough for pushing on thereafter? We'll see.

Welll why would you wear you moon gear around miami that's just idiotic in that heat. He probably shouldn't be going to the moon if he's making poor choices of wearing his astronaut clobber all while everyone else has F*ck all on lol. 

I think why people say it, is they are clearly stating that soon its going to become apparent that we wont reach europe having a player who makes these cheap mistakes. It's already creeping into slots minds because these simple amateur mistakes at that level cost you games and points. We are going to need an upgrade on Mings and the more of these mistakes Mings makes it only makes his weakness more of an easy problem to solve next window if he keeps it up.

I just think you're talking nonsense, sorry. 

The good work that Mings does absolutely outweighs the mistakes he sometimes makes and we'd be a hell of a lot worse off without him. Given that we've seen an inferior defender in Ben White go for 50m, it's a very good job the club doesn't think the way you do and try to replace him, because we're highly unlikely to find someone who is better than he is overall. 

Of course wed be worse off without Mings that is a stupid thing to say for a start, wed be worse without any one of those players this season that's a fact. You say I'm talking nonsense and then you are saying pointless Shit. I think you just don't like anyone criticising Mings whether it's good or bad criticism. Mings isn't perfect he makes mistakes and being the last man in the defence often and being caught out will happen, it's about finding ways of stopping it and it's like you don't want to hear none of it. If all your going to do is keep saying someone's talking nonsense as soon as they make there point then why even bother replying at all.

Sometimes it's like people can't even bloody speak around here or have a point, do I keep telling you your talking nonsense, no I do not. Just because you think tour right doesn't make others wrong you know..

Mings may do ace work but he has weaknesses and those weaknesses get exposed and no I do not believe it's worth the trade off, not at this level. If there is an answer and an easy solution as to put a fast player around where Mings is struggling under pressure, then why not take it. It just seems like tour all okay for Mings to keep making these mistakes, yet its these mistakes that keep us from reaching above and beyond in the league. If were going to continue to improve point blank Mings is going to have to cut these lapses in concentration out or we will end up replacing him if were to continue to improve. mopping up possible incoming mistakes is one reason why we have a CDM, then if your playing this down then what's the point of a defensive midfielder, they are there to help out in these kind of situations and put a stop to pressure.

And leave the team under pressure? 

He's a leader who takes charge - he's not going to sit there when another team member is floundering, it's not in his nature and it's what makes him a very good defender. 

He doesn't hide, he's not afraid of responsibility and he holds his hands up when he makes a mistake. 

We're lucky to have him. 

Sorry Dave, I think you're talking nonsense. You talk about how he can't do everything on his own and needs somebody near him to help - that's called a defensive partnership. That's literally what they do. You don't think Van Dijk and Maguire have players next to them too to do that exact job? 

Somebody who makes as many mistakes as Mings has done since joining, the only answer would be to put Nakamba or Luiz around him as much as possible. Makes sense and is logical or continue with the same problems in having Mings F*** up. It's not talking nonsense when Mings should be concentrating more and lapses. Its highlighting why he's doing it and finding solutions but sorry I forgot nobody can criticise around here. Certain people get all up in the air about this type of talk and go off on the defensive and play whatever anyone says down.

I certainly didn't say he couldn't do anything on his Own so stop putting words in my mouth, I said it's like Mings needs constant Guarding. More so just someone like Nakamba or Luiz needs to be more aware that the mistakes are more than likely to come through him being the last man and there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a player around him in his area of the field ready if it does happen. It's like a fracture in a defence, a weakspot you highlight it and you secure it abit more, it's not saying it's entirely weak but adding a different type of strength to it or around it could make the defence that much stronger. Doing nothing and continuing on and leaving things as they are will just lead to more goals against us and more mistakes by Mings.

At this level sometimes you have to change game plans around, Mings obviously has a tough time dealing with tricky players, so the best thing in my eyes is to add some speed near Mings when attacks start coming in and shut the tricky players down fast. 

Mings is hardly anywhere near the level of those two player mentioned so I don't know why you even brought them into it. They're not playing for us and were not talking about them its Mings were on about here and they are just in a different class I'm afraid.

Not on PS4/PS5.

Is it not, maybe it time release to xbox while it's under preview and it's worked on, some devs usually follow this road.

PC game been out a year now and now on consoles.

Anyone who likes building/RPG/dungeon type games then this would be up your street.

There is so much to do in this game the creativity is a level above the rest.

You can Cook, mine, fish, Build, Dungeon, Fight, Craft, Breed. Even has pokemon elements in and you use your pets for a variety of things one is to use them getting batteries by putting pets on a generator type hamster wheel. 

You can get a wide type of skills to build tour character how you'd like and you can take that character in anyone world.

By the way there is no price to the game if have xbox game pass as it's on game preview at the moment.

Mings makes me nervous every game and he's the one player in the squad who makes me feel that way everytime and were getting pressured. It's TRUE what people say he doesn't learn, he makes those soft passes all to much or clumsy passes also.

I would be down for finding a better CB next summer that's providing we don't need anywhere else which I doubt it with how the midfield needs touching up and will most likely look to sell Ghazi.

It's like Mings needs constant guarding, someone who's around him who is fast and could possibly mop up his mistakes but it shouldn't have to be like this. Mings is or should be quite capable of sorting this out but he's been doing it ever since we signed him. Maybe this is what lost him his Bournemouth spot in the end and to be fair we did buy him for a job in the championship and maybe just maybe it's a tad bit much for him to be playing a full 90 mins at prem level against teams who have tricky strikers like Chelsea do. 

So yeah maybe in a couple of season we maybe in a position to sell Mings or at least he takes abit of a bench seat for abit and see if he can earn his spot back. I think part of the problem is that Mings thinks/knows he's irreplaceable because theres no one at Villa to directly challenge him for his spot. Mings is not going to reach new levels or try to, or try push to ditch these mistakes when he's pretty much seen as the main CB. If Mings had another CB breathing down his neck at least he would want to push himself and despite his age if theres pressure there then he may just manage to wipe the mistakes out.

Thing is all sorts of abuse is thrown at the opposition during a game to put players off and its been going on for well since the game started really it's part of the game. 

Do I condone it no, but it happens.

At least John ignored it which is the main thing although he may blame his crap corner kick on that fan lol.

These fans are pissed up alot of the time remember and when they're with their mates the whole let's throw abuse at the opposition comes in to play.

I've seen people aiming this at stewards and saying why they did nothing, thing is they can't. For one stewards can't put there hands on anyone unless they are apart of an Ejection team and have SIA licence and two most stewards don't carry radios so they can't contact any supervisor. Sometimes each set of stairs has one steward at top Guarding entrance to the seats and stopping people from bringing drinks out. Also one at bottom and they can't leave there post in case someone pitch side decides to jump the barrier to get on pitch.

Also he makes a very good point about Tuanzebe.

I actually looked at Mings as the culprit for the second goals but it actually starts with Tuanzebe lol.
