I'd put them as favourites at the moment. Pep doesn't know the league and has got to buy a lot more players, Arsenal are arsenal, still haven't got a striker. Spurs are Spurs.. Chelsea could be up there but again Conte doesn't know the league, and I think Leicester will fall down..

Yet he got an assist today so his crossing can't be that bad.

So it seems so far that RDM is favouring a 4231 formation. I think the spine of that will be the new players: Gollini Hutton Elphick Toner/Okore Amavi Tshibola Gardner Adama Grealish Green Ayew Doesn't look too bad to me. It means that we wo t be playing too many of the losers from last season and hopefully the newer guys bring a winning mentality to the team. The youth players can then come in to help out the squad out. Obviously, if we could get a top championship midfielder and goal scorer it would be better but I'm not too disappointed so far. As long as we don't see Lescott, Guzan and Bacuna I'm happy.

The other day it was you wouldn't look out of place as a player... Now you're a top manager?

I'm putting it out there he'll be our player of the year this season.. front four of: Adama (if ever fit) Grealish Green Ayew with Gestede/Hepburn-Murphy and another (hopefully a good signing), will create and score plenty in this league. We'll still need other options but it's a good start.

James Richardson now presenting britains strongest man.. What a waste..

Wasn't that half the bench of the Telford game? Whos johansson?

Anything over 200 and England won't chase it.

According to reports it was the first proper pre season game in a very mish mash side, just gaining fitness and learning a new managers way.

Thing is, I'm not pretty certain villa will sell out for every away game irrelevant of price. The owners know this and thus have put the price high. I don't agree with it, but that is why.

There are other Frenchmen/French dissent people in the squad. They and anyone else will be equally effected, unless one of the players relatives/friends were involved.

You obviously haven't read the thread much. If you had you would see that at times he has been massively overrated, to the point that he was going to our saviour. As for injury prone I've seen very little posts indicating that. The reason that people don't like him is that he just isn't very good. He is slow, his hold up is poor and touch is terrible ( as an example there was one instance last season he was centre of goal, edge of the box, the ball was played to his feet, and his touch sent the ball out for a throw in). Yes he may finish the odd chance, but he is just a poor man Darren Bent who needs them put on a plate. We need better if we want to go up.

Which was still louder than the Emirates

**** disgrace... They only do it to certain clubs.. Apparently did it to Bristol last year as it was first time in championship...Football league needs to do something about this..

It's lucky he's from Newham and not Africa then

Chinese window closes today... Come on guys, last minute bid for Lescott and Bacuna??

Anyone watch containment last night? Thoughts? Some of the acting was a bit wooden, but not too bad. Be interesting to see sheer it goes.. Hopefully just not copies films of similar mould

Mine came today... Roll on the season!

Aston Villa player being professional in shocker

There is so much they can do with prequels: They can back to the start of when man first arrived in Westeros (I think that's how the wall and white walkers were made) They can show the rise of the targaryeans. They can show Roberts rebellion The show is making that much money and is that popular they'd be stupid not to do something ala Better Call Saul.

Maybe not won, but Brazil got to the semi final last time round (yes I know what in the semi) by playing a very regimented style and scoring from set pieces. Most tournaments are won in a different style than the previous one

I'm 99% certain a contract will be offered

I don't get this post. Nothing wrong with them bringing in an ex player as ambassador, we weren't the first and won't be the last to do this, so they are hardly copying us. As for spending more than them, I'd bloody hope we are, we've a new owner and have just come out of the prem..and even so we don't know how much more Xia will spend. There are plenty to mock blues about, but I don't think these two things are that.

Not this again.... 4 goals is not proven for us

Yep I was going to put a bet on championship player of the year, but couldn't find it on the site I use. Jordan Graham was absolutely dominating for Wolves last year, and Jack has always been higher rated.
