Antoine DuPont, having a positive effect on the sevens. He’s not starting every game, but France win their first title in 19yrs.

Anyone been to Lye Town before? Tempted on Wednesday, what is parking like?
There’s a road off the back that you can easily park on.
Also if you want the train it’s a 2 minute walk from the station- 1

Matt Kendrick interview with Big Rob is good. Yes BR is proper old school and couldn’t do what he did now. But comes across well and knows how to spin a yarn. At times did think he was sounding very old (mental lapse etc)

If it was the other way around Klopp would be crying for a replay now
What and add an extra game on his schedule, na he’d just be demanding the points are given to them to tiny unfortunate Liverpool

Another decision to give Klopp the title on his fairwell tour, only for him to say he’ll stay on another yr

“As per question 2, the technical seating bowl optimisation study on additional seats will be completed by the end of March”
Lets hope this isn’t making current seats slightly smaller, so they fit extra people in per row -

I came back to read what other people have thought of Dune, because I started trying to watch it this afternoon and fell asleep in the first 20 minutes
Will have to give it another go when I'm more prepared fore the lore drop, but that opening is hard **** work.
Did you go back to it? This evening I put it on and turned off after 20 minutes as well.

It does get harder for the youth as we get stronger as a team.....JJ was very lucky, as he has grown with us. This team now, will be very hard to break in to.
Yes and no. If the team are winning games comfortably on a regular basis, it is easier to give youth 10 minutes at the end, for example if you are 3-0 up, than when they are scraping for results at the lower end of the table. But then there is the added pressure of making sure you win.

He may be registered since Jan, but I’m sure the first stage he was omitted from. It’s because he hasn’t been at Villa long enough to count as an Academy player so had to be registered.
heres a link
“Despite making his first Villa start in the UEFA Conference League qualifying round against Hibernian — providing an assist for Leon Bailey on the night — Kellyman’s participation in the competition has been curbed. An oversight resulted in him being omitted from the group-stage squad as he had not been at Villa long enough to qualify as an academy graduate. Director of football Damian Vidagany and president of football operations Monchi explained that the 18-year-old should not take it as a slight, given Emery wished to involve him.”

So apparently a stand out performance for the u21s, I’m convinced if we had t done the paperwork wrong and he hadn’t got injured we’d have seen him get first team minutes this season. Hopefully we will soon .

I doubt Buendia is in full training yet maybe light/non-contact?
Hause has been back in full training for 3 months now (unless he suffered a setback that's not been reported?)
Failing that I would of presumed he would of got some U21 minutes?
I’d imagine he’ll never play for us again. I’d guess Unai is allowing him to train to get fit for a move in the summer as he wouldn’t take a contract termination. He won’t play first team, and u21s we like to use for the u21s, we give very few first teamer fitness games

They did have various kids playing as subs (especially in extra time), but can we please not build a myth of the cup being won by their u12 team?
Their starting line up was this:Kelleher
Bradley (kid, but with PL/Europa experience, a little like Tim I guess) Konate/Van Dijk/Robertson/MacAllister/Endo/Gravenberch
Elliot/Gakpo/Diaz
I refuse to buy into the 'kids won the title' BBC headlines. On paper, that has go to be one of the most valuable teams in the league.Agreed, even Elliot many are now trying to say he came through Liverpool even though he’d okayed for Fulham and they paid £4m for (which should’ve been much more).

If Ollie is to take one, he has to go first. I'd also feel sick with nerves.
- Watkins
- McGinn
- Doug
- Tielemans
- Bailey
----
- Digne
- Torres
- Konsa
Would be my order. I think Tielemans would do well to make it through 120 mins.
I think a ref would love to send Martinez off in a shootout to get a bit of attention. We'd be so so confident going into one with Emi in net. And the effect on the opponent! They'd feel they were going up against the unbeatable.
Konsa over Ramsey? Na not for me, think Konsa would be poor.

In the US tour we saw Mings at LCB and Torres at LB. I think more than anything that was a recognition from Emery that Konsa and Mings as a partnership had been so good, that he could not split them up, and he wanted to find a way to get Torres into the team.
It was because of the partnership, but also we were looking to sell Digne and Moreno was injured so it was to test Pau at Lb. But he is no LB and will rightly keep the lcb position even when Mings back

This Klopp retirement tour is absolutely going to power Liverpool to a season treble. The media love fest is going to be insufferable but to make it bearable go ahead and make a little money off of it along the way. Already have a decent wedge on Liverpool to win the PL. Going to do the same for the Europa League.
I’ve already heard (before today) that they are on for a famous Quad, like the European trophy they are going for counts in the quad.

Delighted for Chelsea. They are everything that’s wrong with football.
Billions of pounds and they can’t beat Liverpool’s u21s!
Because Liverpool side cost nothing?

Moussa clearly has talent, the prem is a steep learning curve but he has the master Emery guiding him, this time next yr he’ll be unplayable

Got caught out for the second goal, but other than that did well again

Going by Jimih-Aloba now

Did well, showed the importance of the squad

What an assist, and then got a goal as well. He had that impact now when he gets the ball, everyone gets up off their seat expectation, we’ve had that since Ashley Young first stint (yes Grealish, but he didn’t have the pace).

Season tickets 2024/25
in Villa Talk
Posted
I’m expecting a 7% increase in price
Friend of mine is a spurs ST holder, he’s missed loads of games this yr and can easily sell his ticket every game. He gets 1/19th of the ST price back every game missed. We should do the same, we have the demand if it was easy to do.
Just as an FYI, you can get transferred to friends by emailing the club a few days in advance, they normally reply quickly. But yes it would be so much easier if I could click a button on the website (which we all know is and has been rubbish for yrs).
You can get 8 month interest free which is pretty good.
