  1. As an Australian im embarrassed my country both produced this ref and that he is also considered to be the 'best' Aussie ref
  2. Torres is an absolute liability playing out from the back. Being outplayed all over the park. If the game keeps up like this it will be 2 pastings from teams we thought we would competing with.
  3. Good recovery from last week, though it felt a bit like kicking puppies after iwobi went off.
  4. Changing the ball won't save you this time
  5. Learnt something new out of this at least lol
  6. Maybe I am seeing patterns where they don't exist, but when 'freak' occurances happen often enough they become a pattern. Isn't the point of the sport science side of the medical department to look at player work loads and adjust accordingly to reduce injury risk? I would hate to think what our injury list would look like if this is the system working.
  7. Honestly, the fact that an injury like this seems to happen to us every season makes me really question what the hell our medical department is doing.
  8. The only relevant question about a backup keeper is this: Does the prospect of said keeper playing a stretch of games fill you with dread? If yes, you need a new keeper. I don't think anyone here is ok with the idea of Olsen having to play a string of games if Emi is out of action.
  9. Thanks to everyone who has provided some insight on this. Seems like there isn't really a clearly better choice( from a non football point of view anyway) but I must say from the descriptions the Birmingham vibes kind of sound like Adelaide when I'm from, which is a big plus. Will keep you updated if a move eventuates. UTV
  10. Hi All, Through my work I may get an opportunity to study in the UK for 12 months. There are 2 similar courses I am interested in, one is through University of Birmingham and the other through the University of Manchester. While Birmingham obviously grabbed my attention as a Villa fan, I wanted to get a feel for the reputation of both universities from people in country and anything else worth knowing, as far as living in each city, to help the decision making process. Thanks in advance
  11. Given the stage of his career I can't see him asking for 6 figures per week, I guarantee he is realistic about how much he is worth, plus he is really the only one on the team who is fluent in the dark arts on the pitch, so I wouldn't be worried about paying overs for another season
  12. The only reason I would be ok with this is if Ash has told the club he wants guaranteed first team football next season, which you would hope we would not be in a position to guarantee. Any other reason for not renewing his contract doesn't make sense.
  13. While a draw serves our purpose following spurs, that felt like a loss
  14. Hopefully Unai has a plan to exploit the massive hole Liverpool leave in defence when TAA pushes up, kind of like how teams could do to us when old mate was in charge
  15. And that right there is the problem, no ref should ever give a pen for blatantly manufactured contact, but when they do you can bet its those in sky6 badges that benefit more often than not
  16. Different manager, same old villa, can't do the business when it matters, mods may as well lock the Europe thread now
  17. Poor all round. Cant let your full backs be dominated for 60 minutes and expect to get away with it. Buendia and Luiz only two that looked like they gave a shit today. 1 point more than our play deserved
  18. Both of our full backs are getting rinsed, going to blow up in our face sooner or later
  19. Well...now we're ****, especially if we keep playing like the first half
