Rogers great pace but lack of experience showing there.

Diaby offers nothing 

FTFY

(This is usually where he scores.........)

What are we doing. We can't sit back against these for 90 mins, they may get embarrassed on the regular but they still have dangerous attacking players in their team.

Wrong strategy so far, lucky to have that early goal  

Great start. Please keep the pace up Villa. Let's go to town

But it was a choice. By fans.

And both options were much better than this supposed tweak we're getting.

If we do unveil an actual decent badge, all good. Crossed fingers.

This argument is tired and doesn't really go anywhere. The original Lerner badge was the result of fan survey also. The shitness of a thing is not mitigated by the fact that people voted for it. Telling people who didn't vote for and weren't happy with the outcome to suck it up because majority rules is not the way. A majority of people voted for Brexit. And dozens of other examples of terrible things being chosen through voting.

We need to get past this endless cycle of design by committee. The fans need to be consulted according to rules, but to what extent is unclear - I would argue more than Heck has done, but less than Purslow did. 

I also just think the whole thing is a bit of a farce now and we need to pick something and **** go with it, because apart from anything else, look at the state of this thread!

FT - they'll need to win on the last day - hopefully Hull keep Norwich honest.

 

 

No doubt the spawny little **** will 

In a way a Yanited win could've been good for us.

Puts added pressure on Sp*rs, but from behind - and we know what Sp*rs do under pressure.

Honestly can't believe people were worried about Man United.

I don't think they were.

I think we just **** hate the goblins.

Yesss take that you manc clearings in the woods

Racism FC have scored I see.

Boy am I glad those toon goblins are going to run out of games this season and can no longer mathematically catch us.

The round badge looks good. 

The lion looks great. 

The issue is it looks to similar to Chelsea. It's not really a fault of the design company. The other option they provided was also good. 

I would go further and say that the other option was better by half. It's what I voted for and I would do again if given a choice between all the various possible badges.

But the most vocal and proactive elements of our fanbase get swept up time and again in nostalgia and that's what happened again in this case, to our detriment.

The letter spacing / tracking on the Villa word vs Aston is very very poor, I can't unsee it and looks very amateur hour.

It's what has to be done if you want symmetry.

Villa fans often talk about how our name is beautifully symmetrical, but it's not - only conceptually. Five letters in each word and it begins with A and end with A, but in practice it's completely assymetrical.

It was in the online media at the time that we had to pay around £2 million to Castore to get out of the deal.  That was apparently what triggered the c***suckers rant from Heck. 

Some of the people at Castore do suck cocks. I can confirm.

I love this kid.  Proper football brain. 

He's very, very good.

Attributes are a little staggering in some ways: he's fast, tall, strong, has a mean first touch, can dribble, knows how to turn his man, picks out clever passes, and can finish.

Plays with a confidence that belies his inexperience at this level, too.

Goodness me.

Huge huge huge, I could not be happier.

Takes thirty seconds to send an email and cancel. I guess some people don't have thirty seconds spare, each to their own. 

You've never had to deal with Villa customer service if you think it's all as simple as that.

We are supporters. We don't change any situation by doing anything. Why post anything at all by that criterion?

It's not that deep mate. Try to have a bit of fun with things sometimes. In the grander scheme of things, this is small change.

I'll leave it there

Looking unprofessional is H-i-larious. 

Sorry for trying to make light of something that people have gotten carried away about, I'll never do it again

Here's the thing: You're not changing the situation or making it even 0.1% better by complaining. There is a thread here with 230 pages worth of posts, months and months of people complaining, and it's been silence from the club. It's almost as if they know they're damned if they do and damned if they don't!

I don't like any of the 3 badges but what I've learned from that is that the club is not going to be able to please me while also pleasing everybody else. You might want to think about that for yourself. It's literally impossible. Someone will say in response "it doesn't need to please me it just needs to not be shit", but I'm sorry, that's just not true, this thread proves it. People (by which I mean "the majority") will not be happy with anything less than the image they have in their head of what the badge should look like. Their idea / preference is the right one.

Yes Heck's badge is crap. Yes, so are the others. Yes it's all very frustrating. But if you can't, after 230 pages and endless moaning from countless posters, throw your hands up in the air and try to have a sense of humour about things, then I feel sorry for you.

Hate these types of posts that try to muddy the water.  
 

People might have had issues with the Purslow badge (lion facing right, similar to chelsea, not being bold)  but it was professionally designed.  The Heck badge is totally amateur thus the uproar. 

Or you could choose to look at the situation with a sense of humour.
