There are a few things about Tesla unrelated to the cyber truck that have reminded me of that episode. I own one, some things about it are brilliant and feel very futuristic some incredibly bad and feel very backward. It’s an odd car. TBF one I own is a bit old, my old man has a brand new one and all the crap stuff seems to be gone.

Everyone loves a character only question is whether he is more Totti or Balotelli !
-
I lean towards a trophy because I hate most of the CL teams and never watch it but it would be huge for the club to achieve that I do realise. Also agree that Martinez and Luiz will be off in next few years if we can’t get there.
-
This got me thinking because I actually missed the Leicester game aswell. Its the Liverpool match for me coming up to a year ago.
-
Agreed he’s got all the ability and tools you’d want. There is a question on the mentality to be a top level player but he’s 19 so that’s to be expected. Question is if Watkins get injured can Duran do a job for 10/15 games. I’m not sure on that at all.
-
Yeah - clearly the game plan was to go all or nothing in the first half and try to control the game from there. To be honest we were lucky to go in at half time even and after that the game plan worked in our favour. Was a very good game of football. For the neutral at least. It was one of those games which had me teetering on the edge of a panic attack.

To be honest I hate to see a player getting injured but everyone knew he was going to get a “firm” challenge in the opening exchanges. I hope he’s alright though.

I realise VAR plays quite a big part in our defensive strategy but I’d be much happier scraping VAR for offside altogether. People called for it for years in order to help stop the howlers not to enforce the rules of the game to millimetre accuracy.
-
Just wait until Utd get a 99th minute dodgy penalty.
-
We’ll see. Unai was pretty explicit about our approach to selling these young players. Get some money, get them game time and retain control. I know what the Hull chairman said but I’d be happier to believe Unai than this guy at this point.

Brought up in West Midlands and now live in Bournemouth. Get to most home games. Drive seems to be getting longer every time I do it.
-
Feel bad for him tbh, very gifted player but struggling to remember the last time he went a season without a lengthy injury.
-
I dont know the rules either but I'd argue when Watkins heads the ball Bailey is not involved in the game. He becomes involved when their defender heads the ball to him.

I remember reading at the time they got banned in NY because people were filling them with acid.

Jas is turning into the Villareport of Villatalk and personally speaking I’m glad of it.
-
I know a couple who regularly go to these things. They often say they've had a great time. I had no idea. Looking at them a bit differently now.
-
I think that’s fair but he’s been so close so often I don’t think it’s mental for the fans to be thinking that way. He’s getting in the right places surely one’s got to drop for him soon. Might not be floodgates but seems reasonable to think he might be able to regularly chip in the way that Bailey, Diaby, Luiz, McGinn are doing now. Probably the most exciting thing about Villa right now is we are doing really well in an attacking sense but still leaving lots of goals out there.
-
Really hoping he’ll be too busy working on his next book.
-
Nope - next Monday according to the Villa calendar.
-
There is definitely something there. He could have easily scored about 10 goals for us so far. REALLY needs to get that first one though! He has got ability of that I'm sure - give him 6/12 months with Unai and he'll look like a world beater.

I wouldn’t worry about warm downs but need to manage your load at the beginning. Any time you work muscles that aren’t used to being used it will ache for a few days. Start slowly (in terms of load) and build slowly would be best advice.

I love cricket but I haven’t watched a single game.
-
To be honest assuming we have retained the control that Unai alluded to it seems like this transfer has worked out really perfectly for us. In pre season he looked excellent in flashes and a bit on the periphery at times which is exactly what you’d expect. To have him in a team aiming for CL places would have been a risk. For us and also for him with the development game time he’d be losing (see Duran). He’s doing really well in Championship and it looks like if we did bring him back we’d be getting a very different player. Win - win.
-
Yeah that’s crazy and shows what we are competing with that said every team only gets to field 11 players and the way a club in run is so important to getting the team right on the pitch. For example they are paying Sancho 15.5m a year right now and have completely outcasted him. As much as other clubs will want him they won’t be paying anywhere near that.
-
Yeah this was main thought too, I’m sure he’s getting paid plenty more but he’s a very big upgrade and looks a very good deputy for Torres.
