  1. Can anyone saying it's a tough draw a) name 1 player of theirs without looking it up and b) tell us who of our starting 11 that player replaces were he to play for us? I'll wait They're a big name...that's it
  2. interesting. i heard (can't remember where) that the reason the buy back was so low was that there were discussions around the wage he would be coming back on however as i type, it might have been the archer deal they were talking about
  3. media reporting on him means they're either totally oblivious of any buy back (entirely possible) or that the clause is complicated. as others have said, there's no standard, it can be structured however the 2 clubs like it could've been something like "villa have a buy back of £15m but if a champions league club offer £25m then that trumps villa's buy back" for example
  4. clearings in the woods. glad they're going out. edit: 3-0 molde...lol
  5. huge that is. though selfishly i was hoping for a trip to seville
  6. this is it for me. and it doesn't come across in a way of "just my opinion, i'd like to know what you guys think" but more like "this is how it is" but it's been a while since i listened to him to be fair
  7. that's a shame to hear. they always seemed like nice lads.
  8. diaby and bailey have been rotated throughout the season, in the league and cup. it's not that simple. IMO anyway if we're talking villa players, i actually think JJ could be a good differential. zaniolo is out of favour so he's a nailed on started at the moment, and he has started putting in performances more like those we were seeing pre-injury.
  9. big maybe. no returns in 6, and 3 of those were sheff utd, bournemouth and forest. wonder if palace have a new manager bounce as their fixtures aren't bad gross has done well for me last 2 weeks and fixtures remain ok for the short term
  10. When the European games start up again Bailey becomes an immediate rotation risk
  11. I actually feel like he's trolling at this point and it's like Dan can't see it. You can tell he doesn't watch villa anymore and knows that the fan base generally doesn't like him so he's just on the wind up
  12. Really is marmite this guy. Never met someone say "he's alright" about him. Everyone either freaking loves him or can't stand him I'm in the latter group
  13. Love villa on tour. Watch the matchday vlogs religiously and all seem like great lads But weirdly I really don't like the podcast. They don't seem to offer much different to the others and feel like they're missing a trick in not talking enough about things like ticket allocations, transport, away fan experience etc etc. The last two get mentioned but I feel this should be their niche. There are 7 other pods I can listen to to hear about what happened on the pitch.
  14. It's less valuable now than it used to be as there's such an obvious choice now. I remember a few seasons ago salah hauled in a DGW and number of folks tc'd which helped rank massively
  15. foden didn't fare much better either. despite my haaland TC i think i was better off rank wise before he scored as i've got flekken in goal. oh and my solanke to adebayo transfer has just been a disaster
  16. i can't even pick a highlight. that was indeed an amazing episode but i spent the whole family flashback one getting moaned at by the mrs because i'd promised her a brew and couldn't tear myself away from it for 2 mins to make her one. it's not just great tv, but some of the best tv i've watched in my lifetime. really deserving of the accolades it's received.
  17. emi even admitted as such in his post match. took 100% ownership of it.
  18. the tories have lost the next GE. whether that's in a month from now, or in december. there's absolutely no coming back for them. they know it, we all know it crap like this, i honestly believe, is a very deliberate ploy to **** this country up so much so that labour won't even make a dent in the problems they inherit and ultimately look like a failure. it's the only play they have left if they want to regain power in 4 years or so.
  19. finally got around to the bear series 2. better than the first IMO. great TV.
  20. I'll never forget last summer when they did a podcast to review the USA tour and greggs opening line was "I don't watch friendlies dan". I actually didn't used to mind him but since he's stepped away from covering villa I've got no idea why he's still on 1874
