    You turned the telly off early, didn't you?

    Sky just cursed us handing Unai a Peaky F****n Blinders tree decoration. Bet it was soaked in Barry Fry piss

    I think top 4 (or 5 if it's enough) reduces drastically the possibility of any of our best players leaving, at least for another season. Not saying it wouldn't happen, but I think Villa playing Champions League football would be a hell of a bargaining chip if anyone showed interest in Emi M, Dougie or Diaby for example.
  5. Pongo's Socks
    Exactly. It's hardly 'luck' that we've got a manager experienced and intelligent enough to manage a squad properly, and who can come up with a winning formula that doesn't require players to go full throttle for 90 mins. But yeah, poor old Spuds and Newcastle

    Agree that the expectation and desire of some fans to lump it forward has reduced drastically. Hats off to Emery for converting (most of) the fans to this style. I'm not that old, but no spring chicken either, I could see from the off that we'd have to get used to this new style, as it was here to stay. At the beginning, I'd hear lots of fans near us moaning and groaning, shouting at Mings, Konsa and Emi "stop f*****g around with it!", when it was clear they were under instruction from Emery to play that way. It's heart-attack inducing at times, and after decades of watching less cultured football I kind of understand the panic. But it's definitely better, Emery definitely has most of us on board now.

    The cov fan has calmed down a bit in the last year since they're back at the ricoh. I think the foul air/damp/asbestos had got to him when they were lodging at the sty, the bitterness was hilarious, even calling us the 'vile'. Small Heath had obviously rubbed off on him, a bit like a nose rubs off on his sister

    Had to listen to a nose and a cov fan arguing at work. I had to remind them that winning tonight's game is the same as being the shiniest turd

    Yeah I keep seeing comments about how many of their key players were out. Well the way I see it, without all of their financial doping inflating their income, allowing them to spend obscene amounts on star players, that team last night was the sort of team they'd have to put out if they'd not been cheating for the last 10 years. F**k em, f**k their plastic fans, f**k their mercenary players, f**k pep and Up The F****n Villa!

    What's your favourite Beatles album?
  13. Pongo's Socks
    Not sure he'd suit our style at the moment, from what I've seen it's all playing down the line, stop, play a square ball. Rinse, repeat. Shame really, the way he used to link up with Taylor and later on Targett, makes me think him and Moreno could wreak havoc.
  14. Pongo's Socks
    Kind of agree, I just think the lure of the champions league might attract more of that type of player. But you're right, we already seem to be attracting quality at the moment
  15. Pongo's Socks
    Grew up in the 80s when the FA cup was massive, so would love to see us win that. But thinking about it, champions league qualification would probably attract the quality of players that would enable us to go on and challenge for a trophy every season.

    Was that the day they got relegated? I remember trying to get up to Witton Station from the holte and then saw the line of police horses charge. Like you say, scary to see, you wouldn't want to be in their way
  17. Pongo's Socks
    Clearly been on the sauce

    The North stand thing was because of a Legia fan celebrating their goal. One villa fan pushed him up the steps towards the exit, then a few more villa joined in when they realised what was going on. He had to run towards the bars/exits and we lost sight of him then (sat in mid trinity B7 with the lad). Loads of villa went after him. Then looked behind us and the same thing was happening in our block, Legia fans getting dragged out after celebrating. Stewards were slow to react.
  19. Pongo's Socks
    Great start to the evening then
  20. Pongo's Socks
    No legia fans in their seats yet

    Some of us said before it was introduced that it wouldn't fix things. As long as there is human intervention mistakes will happen. And that's my point that I will keep repeating. Its a game played, reffed, and watched by humans. This expectation of perfection is unrealistic and, to be honest, typical of today's arrogant, want-it-all-now society. One thing we agree on is the need for better officiating, and to stop pissing around with the laws of the game. But you'll never convince me the game is better than it was before VAR, and it never will be. Just give us our game back.
  22. Pongo's Socks
    I'm not saying that because it's crap everywhere we must accept it. I'm saying every country should f**k it off where it belongs, in the bin, and give us our beautiful, but sometimes flawed, game back.
  23. Pongo's Socks
    I used to think the same, he was the equivalent of Jeremy Kyle. Lazy, bear-baiting, sensationalist crap. But I actually don't think he's too bad since he's given up that drive time slot and just commentates. And he agrees with me on VAR.
  24. Pongo's Socks
    Just heard Adrian Durham on TalkShite saying we shouldn't fall into the trap of believing this is only an English problem. He's just given some examples of terrible VAR decisions elsewhere in Europe, apparently someone smashed up a VAR pitch side monitor in frustration.

    Very good sir
