  1. About as boring as you can make a Villa home kit
  2. Probably not next year, but I’ll be back
  3. Hit the nail on the head here. I think people in general love to watch celebrations because we see normally straight laced people let loose. Tom Brady winning the Super Bowl in Tampa and throwing the trophy from one boat to another comes to mind. It’s relatable. Who doesn’t celebrate big moments in life? But seeing someone who is often pissed up “celebrating” way harder than anyone else isn’t nearly as fun. In fact it’s pretty cringe.
  4. Sometimes I come read this thread just to reminisce on how beautiful my pilgrimage was.
  5. We’re, by definition of being in the same league, competing with Citeh
  6. El Ghazi having a higher goal contribution rate than Philippe Coutinho. Un*******believable
  7. I love Ollie, but his trampoline feet are infuriating. Zero touch
  8. Don’t forget their idea for “Manchester Mondays” a few years ago where NBC Sports would just replay old ManUre and £iteh matches
  9. I still don’t like him. I’m still bitter. He’s a traitor. He was quite literally bought to go to a competitor. When someone flips side in war and their side wins, losing generals don’t go “sucks we lost, but happy for that traitor, he put in good work for us.” You’re either with us or against us, and he chose to be against us.
  10. Looking back, losing Grealish, especially in the way we did (publicly and close to the season start) really stunted any chance we realistically had at improving on 11th. That’s not exactly earth shattering news, but we had no time or plan to replace him. That’s not a knock on Purslow, I don’t really know how you plan to replace the face of the club. The January window treated us well. Chambers, Coutinho, and Digne all seem to be quality additions. There were glimpses of brilliance, and plenty of lapses. This season was a rollercoaster. Hoping (and expecting) more consistency next season after a less tumultuous summer.
  11. I want the Leafs to be successful. The celebration if they won the Cup would be unbelievable
  12. 100% agree. I’m interested in Everton going down if only to see how they handle it and try to come back up.
  13. Last time Jack was in a kit reveal he was shipped off that same summer. Jack back to Villa, confirmed.
  14. You don’t have to sign anything, although I suppose people who believe in Catholicism are more inclined to work at a Catholic university than those who aren’t. The scholarship goes far beyond the school I attended though, and has an audience in non-religious schools. I think you’re also missing the point about historical Jesus. I’m not trying to say that everything in the gospels is correct. All I’m saying is that Jesus the human was likely a real person. The details of his life (just like the details of any life from 2000 years ago) are, of course, murky.
  15. What do you mean there isn’t anything to say there is no evidence there was one guy and his name was Jesus? Both biblical and non biblical sources use his name plenty. i respect your skepticism about the religion, but if you don’t believe Jesus was a real person than surely you must be skeptical about Plato as well.
  16. Well, early Christians were heavily persecuted. They weren’t able to record and proclaim their beliefs and history in public, because if they did they’d be put to death. Early texts (no matter the subject) rely on many people to copy and pass on the texts to keep them alive. Christians did not have that luxury, so they relied on oral tradition.
  17. I’ll go against the grain here… it’s very likely he existed. The majority of modern scholars would agree. Here’s a book about it if you’re interested: https://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/06/books/reza-aslans-zealot-the-life-and-times-of-jesus-of-nazareth.html Full disclosure, I am a Catholic. I got my undergraduate degree in history and spent a year in a PhD program at the Catholic University of America. So of course, I am “biased.” Although there is no way to prove he existed, the evidence is favorable that he did. Arguments against his existence focus mainly on doubt and put the burden of proof on his existence, which I can’t do. But I do think it’s very probable Jesus was a real person. Whether or not Jesus is God, performed miracles, rose from the dead, etc. is of course where rationalization has to be suspended. Christians believe in it, non-Christians don’t. It’s a matter of faith.
  18. I like his attitude too. Most winners are pretty cutthroat. I’d rather have a pint with Deano, but I’d rather have SG as manager to push for Europe
  19. It blows my mind that they spent £100 million on Grealish and less than a year later their best 11 might not include him
  20. The only yellow kit since I started following is the one that sent us down. I loved the 2013 horse jockey away kit, as well as the 2019 green third.
  21. Has to be light blue. The inside of the shirt around the neck hole is actually white, and the outside of the shirt is a different color
