  1. I've had a couple of alcohols, but shit. Am I actually a Villa fan right now? Like am I fan of a real club that does real things. I feel like I might be for the first time in my life - what a strange feeling. I think I like it...
  2. We have a top 8 squad. We just need someone that actually knows football to lead them...
  3. For me part of his firing was the inevitable let down after Wenger. Same with Moyes after Fergie - if he had been given more time, who knows...
  4. Highest pedigree manager we've hired at Villa in my entire time as being a fan. This pips MON for me, and I was blown away with that. Feels like a real hire for the first time in over 15 years... Emery must be impressed with the squad and the budget offered...
  5. And that's my breaking point. I'm done. Toast. Finito. I always want to be a voice of reason, and having been talking my dad and my best buddy off a cliff for weeks. But I can't any more... GERRARD OUT!
  6. I don’t remember being as excited for anything related to Villa as much as the day MON signed for us. It felt like a new era.
  7. Potter has proven himself at a number of levels though. I think he’d be just fine. Much better resume than LambHurt
  8. Agreed. There’s no PL jobs coming up soon that would interest him other than Villa in terms of budget.
  9. Ten Haag was hilarious the other day. I’ve never met a Dutchman that I didn’t get on well with!
  10. This is the frustrating thing. I thought they were told to not flag and whistle and let it play on if anything near to a goal scoring chance and then let VAR clear it up after the fact.
  11. I remain to be convinced if he lucked into that midfield setup through literally having exhausted all of his other options that he thought would work, or if it was by design… but I’ll be damned if I’m going to criticize it. Felt like we were solid in the middle for the first time under Gerrard - maybe a little exaggeration. But it worked. Got to stick with that setup until it’s not working again. Very competent and solid. I pray that Bailey stays fit - I think he could become a Villa legend…
  12. I know I’m going to get wrecked, but just a half of not conceding against city. It feels a bit more hopeful…
  13. Feels like we are playing like a League 2 side against City in the FA Cup
  14. Anyone secretly hoping we lose 9-0 today? Seems to be the magic number...
  15. To win over the last 0.3% of Villa fans who think he needs more time??
  16. Gerrard shortened from 6/1 to 5/2 overnight to be next manager to go. Rogers is 5/4. Frank 8/1.
  17. I want to be supportive… And if we’d had a good end to the season then I might have been. But I’ve seen nothing to show that he knows what he is doing. My only real hesitancy is over who we’d get to replace him… Brighton would want a stupid amount for Potter even if he wants to come (not clear) - I think they are guaranteed to drop if he leaves…
  18. He’d make a good head of recruitment - I’ll allow him that…
  19. This… At least the highlight of our last 10 years isn’t selling a player for 25 million. So much so that we had to retire his short!
  20. Damn… Purslow should’ve been on the phone to United and offered them McGinn for 50 plus add ons…
  21. Or because we have players coming through the ranks that we believe will fill gaps, in which case filling that gap now versus saving the cash for a future upgrade is a consideration.
  22. I swear Wolves are going to turn out to be a big money laundering scheme.
