    I wonder if we voted with Man City and Man Utd last week in return for them voting with us on this?

    I thought this was just referring to different rules for uefa and the premier league
  3. Deano & Dalian's Umbrella
    What about this though ? https://x.com/johntownley11/status/1784962074273026206

    Only manager to never criticise a referee or their decisions, no matter how bad. most times needing an interpreter to understand Tom Ross in a press conference without Tom attempting to modify the pace of his speech or phrases used whatsoever

    Did anyone manage to buy the limited tie before it sold out in the 50% sale????

    Thanks for sharing that. This youtube link skips straight to the Villa bit for convenience:

    On a serious note, has anyone received a confirmation email after booking? Edit - come through now.

    How do you usually put an Ender to it?
  12. Deano & Dalian's Umbrella
    It is doing that for me too and lots of other people it appears.

    Fair enough - I am an idiot.

    Aston - 5 letters. Villa - 5 letters. How the holy f*** have they managed to not get the text centered?

    There is a very long Daily Mail article published at the end of last month called "why Premier League Clubs want to kill off season tickets". It says how the clubs want to get rid of season tickets and sell tickets at full-price every week. Villa get quite a few mentions for how they are pricing fans out. I can copy and paste the article if someone can tell me this is allowed?

    I was thinking just the other day how long would it take Heck to think "why are we giving these season-ticket holders a discount when we could sell their seats at full-price each week instead?"

    Are points for a win or a draw awarded at full time, or after extra time, or after penalties? I’m sure somebody’s already said this but I’ve forgotten, thanks
  19. Deano & Dalian's Umbrella
    So are there no points for actually winning the tournament?

    While the BBC are reporting the current rules will remain in place next season.

    Although what you suggest is very logical, there are a number of things to consider here. Firstly, Emery did not say that the scan showed a small injury he just said that there was a small injury, so they may be purely going on the players symptoms. Second, MRI is able to detect very small changes in muscles. For example delayed onset muscle soreness, which is what you feel The next couple of days after going to the gym, will show up on MRI but you would definitely be able to play a few days after that. Hamstring strains are graded on a three point scale ranging from grade one which is microscopic tearing, to grade 3 which is a complete rupture. The healing time For a grade one strain isn’t really that long, but even then, studies have shown that the average return to play time in professional footballers Is about two weeks. But I agree with you that if the MRI is showing an actual injury, then Saturday would be either too soon or too risky or both.

    There was a point around 20-30 minutes before kickoff where they were playing highlights of Villa goals with really loud, tinny commentary while at the same time playing horrendously loud dance music. As my headache got worse and worse, I literally wanted to find the person responsible for this and kill them.

    I worked with Gordon at Villa in the late 90s. He is such a nice, mild-mannered person - a real gentleman. His teamtalks to the youth team were very different to some of the other coaches at the time. This is really sad. I am increasingly becoming aware that getting old is no fun at all. But my most vivid memory of him is years before that when I was about 10 years old and he was sat behind me at a Villa game in the late 80s, presumably injured as he wasn't playing. I recognised him because he was one of the current players and I asked him to sign my programme for me. He then held onto it for Des Bremner to sign who was sat next to him. Unfortunately, and to my shame, I didn't know who Des Bremner was as I didn't start supporting Villa until 1987. Gordon and I then entered into a tug of war with the programme with me trying to pull it off him and him trying to give it to Des until he said "this is Des Bremner!"
