    Probably for the time being that may be the case, but conservatives won't be in power much longer so if Labour get in after then he's the right colour to get the support when it will be time to start doing something. Not like any major progress was made under Street, although we've no idea how much was impacted by the club changing their minds on the wider stadium redevelop. I'll be surprised if nothing happens given the latest news coming out of the Edens camp and the appointments made to the board.

    I imagine this is a little morale boost for the squad / fans ahead of Thursday. Would be great if he genuinely is back in team training as that would mean a potential return at Palace, but I'm thinking we'll be looking after him over a fairytale return.

    But its been through the PL's fair value committee and ok'd so it's definitely legit, and they definitely could have got that 3 million from some other non-saudi airline if they'd wanted to. Stinks of corruption. We can't compete with that, or what Man City et al have built up over decades of domination. But we can improve what do have. So Heck needs to find some more of these affiliates to pay us 1 or 2m. And try and eek what he can out of our current sponsors. The stadium expansion/migration is getting close to being a no brainer as its going to be the only option left to us soon.

    This would be brilliant. Although they might have to do it again the next game because its 115.

    What did their owner say? I've not seen the tweet as every account I've seen that shared it had a broken link.
  6. MrBlack
    You have your answer.

    Terrace View sounds like a much worse value offering than the Lower Grounds. And can't believe the bars are more expensive. Captive audience I guess.

    Yes, he was. 6 month ban. I know this because he was also shit i one of West Ham's game last season and it came out in the post match furore. He's a corrupt ref, and a notoriously crap arrogant one too. We're f%£ked if we got on the wrong side of him. And we no doubt will when he gives some dubious decisions their way. He'll let us implode after a few basic errors.

    Maybe a metaphorical swing rather than a physical one.

    We haven't lost more than 2 games in a row all season. I'm fairly sure we haven't gone 3 games without a win as well. So if we manage to do either of those now then it would be a pretty big diversion from our 36 game norm. Spurs, on the other hand, are on a 4 game losing streak and rarely win 3 in a row. Let's see how the next round goes before we start the panic.

    Another overlooked point in what he brings to the team beyond his creativity, is the pressing of the opposition. It's not a coincidence to me that we've conceded more goals than we did last season. He harasses the opposition defence and DMs and gives them far less time to pick out the long balls over the top to the strikers. With only Watkins really able to emulate what he does (who plays when Buendia does anyway), they get far more time to pick out their long balls. If he gets back to full fitness, I predict he'll be in the starting 11 far more often than not.

    Looked amazing pre season. Core part of our team that went on that amazing run last season. Madness to say he won't fit in if he gets back to to his pre-injury fitness levels. Not sure what game people watch that claim he's not good.

    Unai Emery

    MrBlack replied to PeterSw's topic in Villa Talk

    Working miracles still. They can only get you so far when half your first team is injured. Overdue a bit of good luck which hopefully arrives on Thursday night and gets a reward for his work this season. Love the post match comments, but a shame the gameplan got shafted by yet another njury.
  14. MrBlack
    Our good run to set us up for being top of the table coincided with Pau having an extended run in the team. Our form suffered from the point he got injured. Coincidence? Yes, he hasn't hit those heights since, but if he was rubbish we wouldn't have been fighting for first place with him as a core component of our team. Bizarre.

    It's definitely not worse than the Lerner one. That's insane. Lerner's lion had no claws, a gammy leg, and looked like a 2 year old had drawn it. This may be too aggressive, and not to your taste, but to claim its worse than Lerner's effort is truly insulting.
  16. MrBlack
    Absolutely **** cursed. Emery, you miracle worker, please get us one more win.
  17. MrBlack
    No point replacing him. They'll lose whoever is in. Far better to give someone a clean slate. I'm sure you're supposed to get more pro tory as you got older, but I'm sure I'm finding them more repugnant by the week. Not that I like Labour either. Politics is shit. But thankfully so are SHA so what a glorious day!
  18. MrBlack
    I just liked the fact Andy Street didn't charge us for his work Seemed to be doing a decent job from my perspective, but then I'm not sure where the remit of the Mayor ends and theres plenty of shit to sort out. Not sure it needs to be taken as a sign labour are winning the next election, that was already a forgone conclusion. Let's hope being Labour brings more advantages than having been Andy Street would have.

    Underrated comment

    Think we would have done if the ref didn't want them to win. That penalty call would never have been given at the other end of the pitch. Whether you feel it was a penalty or not, Villa would not have got they penalty off this ref. That killed us. My view was his arm was already there before the ball even reached the opposition. It was protecting his face as he jumped and turned and then momentum carried it to where it was. Totally natural and no movement towards the ball that then hit him at point blank range. Arguably stupid by Luiz and he should have been braver and allowed his pretty face to get a ball in it, but not a penalty.
  21. MrBlack
    Oh Ollie. So close. Did the hard bit.
  22. MrBlack
    Wouldn't it be nice if we can beat Brighton, Spurs lose to Liverpool and then we can focus on the second leg and not worry about 4th place.
  23. MrBlack
    Luiz totally lost his confidence. Slow to do anything now.
  24. MrBlack
    He got back with Lehmann?
