  1. 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.
  2. I remember reading at the time they got banned in NY because people were filling them with acid.
  3. Jas is turning into the Villareport of Villatalk and personally speaking I’m glad of it.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Really hoping he’ll be too busy working on his next book.
  7. Nope - next Monday according to the Villa calendar.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. I love cricket but I haven’t watched a single game.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. I think Bailey might be becoming the player we hoped Bailey would be!
  15. @Awol Do you have any idea of the numbers of people involved in Hamas? And are they mostly Palestinians or are they made up of Arabs against Israel from many different countries?
  16. Movement is medicine so absolutley it will help to build physical and mental health. Progression is all about consistency.
  17. I’d be surprised. He didn’t start all the time at the end of last season in the great run for Europe and obviously not in this run this season either. So we can not play him and still do pretty well. If everyone is fit you dropping McGinn, Ramsey or Diaby to get him in the side?
  18. I've also beaten Isabelle - which also took me ages. Can't get anywhere near Li though she is like a fortress. I've started just beating Emir everyday to build my confidence as I lose so many games consecutively against my limit opponents it starts to knock your confidence. Also set a time limit in the evenings as I started seeing chess constantly when I was trying to sleep.
  19. His game intelligence is fantastic - really shows that he has played plenty of high level European football. Not the tricky winger I was expecting but been a pleasant surprise for all of us really. Feels like he's been involved in so many more goals than his current goals/assists tally suggests. Think he's been the assist to the assister plenty.
  20. Sounds fair enough, be interesting to see if Hamas accepts this deal!
  21. City have won 21 consecutive home games across all competitions. Would be impressive if they weren't massive cheats.
  22. I wish we had a song for him based on Easy by Lionel Ritchie. Think it would fit him so perfectly. I wish it so much I’ve been calling him Easy Konsa in my head for some time now.
  23. Been anxious about this game all week, really didn’t want to lose the home run but very aware of what a good side West Ham are the moment. Wondering if Unai will ever help me to unlearn the in built Villa knowledge that it’ll all end in tears. At the moment it’s starting to look quite irrational.
  24. Tbh I was filling in the survey and I realised I really don’t give a …. about the badge. It’s like choosing cushions. Who cares. Hope everyone who does care gets something they want.
