Is Jamie Hughes a Villan? He's from the Black Country, his walk on music is Hi Ho Silver Lining but he didn't appear to sing 'Aston Villa'.

He's Wolves

That said it's my experience that many trains already leave Aston with plenty of unfilled seats because of poor organisation at the station. 

Many people still don't move properly down the platform. 

Not any more, I travel towards Lichfield after the game and the train is at the platform for a good 3-4 minutes before it departs. 

They're announcing the shelving of plans via a video posted on the website & it's not been posted to any socials. It's so incredibly cynical.

That doesn't look great. Not sure if it's actually correct thou of course.

Oh it was. American fandom is a strange thing.

2nd win panthers

Bryce 6 for 6 on the final drive. Not sure how I made it through the entire game but someone had to!

FU Kermit, seriously FU

 

He was lined up in the neutral zone, there's literally no complaints to be had.

No idea how we lose that game by 22 points. It's irrelevant but the defense don't deserve to be a one win team. The receivers and o-line are just absolutely pathetic. 

Becoming very apparent that away fans are using it to get into games. I saw three blokes walking out of there before the game yesterday and you could just tell they were Arsenal.

Found this in the loft. Congratulations to our 2014 World Cup Prediction League champion, @Milfner!

I've been waiting 9 and a half years for this to arrive! 

 boy am I excited for this

Only two trains a day from Sarajevo to Mostar and they run at 7am and 7pm. Taxi between 4 is about 100 euros so that is the best option.

The presence of police on the junction of Trinity Road & Witton Lane was frankly ridiculous. Had to walk through a mass of out of town riot police who were screaming directions/asking where fans were going as if they'd never been to Villa Park before. I've never seen that before any game before. Was clear where the trouble would be, and it certainly wasn't at that end of the ground.

Cleaning house again in Carolina. What a mess.

Nothing will change until Tepper goes. Turned us into a basket case. 

I’d have done the same. Was in a similar position last year, i said nothing during the conversation but reported it. The bloke who it concerned was retiring a few months later so it didn’t get passed on. 
 

However if I knew I was was going to be in a room with them any time soon I’d be getting a voice recorder ready on my phone. **** ‘em.

Bills are getting a new one but I'm guessing that's 2/3 years away

 

Yeah it's 2026. 

Patriots you might actually be okay, they're going to absolutely stink for the next few years so should be easier to get tickets I reckon.

11 touches in 60 minutes. Lol.

Sixth consecutive losing season for the Panthers confirmed. I thought we'd get somewhere around the 7 mark. How naive I was. 

The worst tournament, glad it’s over. Feels like it put the final nail in coffin of 50 over cricket. 
 

Watching India bottle it on home turf was glorious though.

Maybe it's not a 300 wicket. 280 might be a very good score. 

Possibly. At least it is in the fun zone. Too many games have been a low first innings total with an easy chase or a monster first innings score followed by a 200 run victory. Shaping up to be a good game.

Australia in a good position here. The wicket of Kohli was massive. Not sure what a good score is 300?

Timing of the next wicket is huge. Before the 40th and delays the aggression for a further over or two. Think India would be delighted with 300 from here, and probably Australia too.

It might be one of the worst World Cups in any sport ever. A dreadful format which was designed so every team gets 9 games which left little for risk and entertainment

Might be some rose-tinted specs, but the previous world cup had the same format and seemed fine. I didn't work from home then so maybe I watched less of it and I'm misremembering. They've gotta go back to two groups of 6 and have multiple games on one day. Been going on for 6 weeks, just way too long. 

The second semi-final looks like it's already over inside the first 12 overs. This has to be the worst world cup of all time. A couple of shocks, I can think of one game going to the final over. Awful.

I used to like the song still do a tiny bit but hate it being played at the game 

War Pigs would be better, especially if they extended the sirens at the start.

How have them 1's against, crept in?

To be fair two of them were freak goals (Bowen's was either going wide/a straight forward save & then Luton's was a bizarre OG). Also doesn't really matter when you're scoring at least 3 in the last 6 home games.
