Stop encouraging them dam, sorry, damn it
-
Which isn't as much of an issue if played further forward, with a solid LB behind.
-
Was absolutely that half time at Portman Road, those 4/5 keepy ups and look where we are now!
-
This. For all his effort and trying (the minimum requirement for a footballer in my eyes) he sums up our last 6 years, the fact that we are lauding a player with limited ability speaks volumes. So often his 'efforts' as one of our furthest players forward have caused our poor performance in the final 3rd. I've joined in with the Alan Hutton chants and the 'Oles' but it's purely ironic, I'm sure others are much the same, he's become somewhat of a cult hero by default. Cheers for the efforts Alan but please move on and let some talent come through.

Think Mark meant the cretin that is Paul Robinson of Small Heath. Beat me to it.
-
That's the whole point though, neither are we...Ledley is one of those in between players, too good for champ, found out in prem....worry about that division when we get back though, imo
-
Really don't fancy us playing 48 games this season, unless you're counting us getting knocked out of both cups at the first attempt
-
Yes he did. He looked reasonable when deployed in a more attacking role in the 2nd tier. He showed similar attributes pre injury in the top tier, a defender he is not, but definitely got something about him. IMO
-
And bringing every f'er back to defend corners damn it! Sunday league stuff, leave minimum of 1, and for me preferably 2 up front!
-
That's the one mate just past Fairfax/JW. Interesting shout about 98/99, his absence certainly coincided with our collapse!
-
RIP big Ugochuku, very sad day and indeed few months for Villans. One from memory though is Ugo at age of 20/21 and he used to frequent a petrol station on Reddicap Road one day it wa to buy porno mags (no internet kids) now he'd always go in wearing shades and a baseball cap, undercover as it were, now as a big bloke and the fact my mate who used to serve him was a massive Villa fan, he obviously got the response of 'alright Ugo, can I get your autograph?' He naturally obliged and had a good laugh about it! A story that still makes me chuckle and well needed today
-
I've just (sadly for me, and for us) worked out how the teams around them would end up based on all of their avg pts/game since Zola took over, unfortunately this would mean they survive by a couple of points with Bristol City going down, Forest, Blackburn and Burton next......here's hoping for a bit of divine intervention then. Promising for next year however!
-
No malice or intent at all, just one of those horrible incidents :-(
-
7/10 every game he's played in my opinion, very Alan Wright
-
Would add that players earn the right to be supported through effort to be fair...as Hutton has.
-
Was an interesting one cos it seemed initially that Bree went RM and Hutton slotted in as usual but then it just randomly changed, and worked! For all Alberts huffing and puffing out side we did suddenly become more effective, I'd add that that was also Albert being more effective up front/free role...
-
Quality players signed for Villa at the end of their careers
Mammoth10 replied to Keener window-cleaner's topic in Villa Talk
I wouldn't say Merse was on a downward spiral, we signed him just after he'd had a good season getting Boro promoted and going to the 98 World Cup! -
I was thinking the same my ticket will be the same, if I buy it by 7th April, yet they specifically said if purchased by a certain date last year we'd benefit from a price freeze, no deadlines were implied however! My nephew on the other hand is down from £160 to £69 which is decent.
-
That's it though now it has come down to hope! I was naively hoping for results vs Forest and certainly Ipswich and Barnsley to keep the play off hope alive, now the alarming run in 2017 means I'm hoping for a result in the next two home games to keep us away from the trap door. I think we need to make the change before this lot are completely broken, I genuinely can't see us getting the 14-15 points potentially required for safety right now.
-
Someone to get us 15 points from our remaining games would be a start....
-
See I'm fully in the Markavfc40 camp and will absolutely renew, but genuinely do admire this stance too, I'm pretty sure I could be far happier come a Friday night, Saturday 7.30 or Sunday whenever, but for some reason it's too big a wrench away! Oh and my 12 year old nephew wants to renew too which makes me a little sad and proud at the same time!
-
Off topic ish but I'm sure I read/saw somewhere that Culverhouse is currently a 'kit manager' may have dreamt that!
-
Fair enough there mate, it's just the over the top comments like not fit to wear the shirt, there are and have been far more fitting candidates for that title
-
I see part of that very differently, a lot of the time he gets hold of the ball, he's nowhere near goal, and certainly doesn't look to head for/drive towards goal every time, in fact much of this time he'll beat a man or two with a trick but end up going backwards, often taking the momentum out of our play. Like I say can't knock his goals because god knows where we'd be without them but he very often causes any forward momentum to break down. if he was all that influential then he'd have 21 goals like the replacement of his at BristolCity has.
-
I appreciate that, I'm not hammering Kodjia, top scorer and mainly due to his own ability given how toothless we've been upfront most of the season, I do believe that he's a very naive (can seem selfish) player, depends on your take, but now he has support up top he needs to improve and adapt his game for me because I think Hogan is certainly a better footballer and even at 27 it's not too late for Kodjia to learn to become more of a team player, if he doesn't adapt then call me fickle but he can do one, I genuinely think Hogan and McCormack wouldbe a better team fit.....
