  1. Just had a look quick look, and it looks as though there’s just under 900 left, but just over 300 of those are in the Upper Holte. I can’t make it unfortunately, as I’m at a wedding in Italy in the morning. Absolutely gutted. Do us proud, lads!
  2. Three game suspensions when it’s only a 22 game league is nonsensical.
  3. I’ve been thinking about it, and I’m not sure that a points deduction is enough of a deterrent. Say you give Everton a six point deduction, that would be fair in this instance. However would that six points deduction be fair to give to Man City (as an example)? No, as they’d have gained far more of an advantage from breaking FFP than the punishment. For Everton, six points would mean potential relegation, Man City would mean maybe coming second rather than first. So I think it needs to be a two pronged punishment, points deduction and transfer ban. Maybe three points and two windows ban? Otherwise taking the punishment would be worth breaking the rules for. In my opinion, anyway. Either way, the Premier League need to be strict with Everton, otherwise it becomes meaningless.
  4. Yeah I imagine we won’t risk him until Digne is suspended, which is probably the first game after the international break. I’d rather he was fully fit before we played him, can’t afford to risk having him out for a prolonged period.
  5. He was the best player on the pitch in his full debut against Man Utd. If we judged all players on how they played at St James’s Park, well, not many Villa players would come out with much credit. I’m more convinced than ever that he’ll be a very good Premier League player.
  6. There is zero chance that Milan will stump the money required to buy him. And Chelsea won’t see him as the right profile to sign either.
  7. Saved a penalty in the first half.
  8. I mean he was quite comfortably our best player yesterday, but you do you.
  9. I know this is going to be an extremely unpopular opinion. But I’m all for them having more kick off times to show more games. I don’t think it’ll be long before every game is televised live, at a separate time so that there’s no Premier League clashes. You could have one game on a Friday and Monday evening, and then four each on Saturday and Sunday. Bring it on, I say.
  10. Couple of mine have been suggested already, so I’ve got just one new one: Penalties are weighted too heavily to the attacker. My rule would be that the keeper can leave his line as soon as the penalty taker has started his run up. Would most likely put an end to all these nonsense run ups and make it fairer.
  11. The Chris Woakes of the Villa team. Thought he was excellent when he came on. Competition for places can hopefully bring the best out of him.
  12. Yeah I noticed that, too. It would work well if we had a Moreno or Digne on the right, but Cash isn’t the right profile of player there. I do feel it hampered McGinn’s game, too.
  13. West Brom released him, so we didn’t pay them a fee. They would be owed a small percentage of any fee, but it would be probably about 5% maximum.
  14. Watched the game last night. Thought he was really good. I’d start him at the weekend. The thought of him and Diaby supporting Watkins is giving me special feelings.
  15. Yeah agreed. They were awful in those first few months of the season before last. Howe comes in and they still struggled. They then went on a training camp in Saudi Arabia, and came back as absolute animals. I’ve no doubt they’re at it.
  16. Apologies. I forgot the number one rule, that everyone was entitled to Bickster’s opinion.
  17. I have been to all types of venues, and seen all types of artists. I’d say 90% of them were average-disappointing. The other 10% I’ve loved. So it’s not as if I’m averse to enjoying them, just that my [unpopular] opinion () is that they’re generally poor.
  18. Music concerts/gigs are rubbish. The quality is never as good as the actual album, surrounded by pissed up loud people singing along, or worse talking through each song. Difficult to get a drink, toilets are a nightmare, and it’s way too hot. I should caveat this by saying I have enjoyed some before, but usually it’s very disappointing.
  19. Hoping he’s okay enough to start tonight. Get some minutes in those legs, and give Kamara a rest. Also wouldn’t surprise me if Fulham target him to replace Palhinha if he goes.

    Ezri Konsa

    Konsa playing at right back will massively increase his chances of getting called up to the England squad.
  21. They have to give at least six points deduction at least as punishment, otherwise it won’t be a deterrent going forward.
  22. If Pavard goes anywhere, it’s Inter. However Tuchel said last night that he’s decided he wants to keep him for the season, even if it means he leaves on a free at the end of the season.
