I don't agree with this statement tbh. If you are a ST Holder, frequent games or have been down the ground anytime recently, then you'll realise that actually we have a very diverse crowd these days full of ST holders under 40. You'd have to be near on 50 years old to remember 82 or that period and many of the ST holders I would gather came after that era. I don't know where this idea has come from that it's only middle aged blokes down the Villa but it's total nonsense. As for social media and branding blah blah blah.... who really gives a shit. Aston Villa is Aston Villa and ST holders are as good a judges as anyone to be asked their thoughts on the process and decision. If I wasn't an ST holder I'd still be happy for those that were to make the decision for the general fanbase. I think opening up the poll to club members etc would have been a good idea but where do you stop.... By allowing every random on the internet to have a say.

There was a point last season whereby I thought it must be external reasons for him still looking overweight, not match fit or just off the pace. I actually felt a little sorry because he is, above all a trier. And God loves one of them. However, that's truly gone now. There is no sorrow only ruthlessness for the apparent lack of discipline, intelligence, or indeed a will to resolve the weaknesses in his game. His passing is atrocious, his inability to slow the f*** down when challenging for the ball(before clattering whoever) is atrocious. We could literally go on and on but the bottom line is the cons far outweigh the pros these days.

I think the atrocities in Kherson when known will be far higher than elsewhere when uncovered, being a very pro Ukrainian City. The good news though....

He was excellent today and is having a decent season considering. Easy on the legend though.

Smuggling Iron Brew into the canteen. Treasonous if found guilty.

Thank f*** I'm innocent of terrible thought's like the one you had

I think the easiest way to describe McGinn at the moment is like watching an old timer playing with the kids.

I'm truly not that fussed about tonight. Unai will have found an awful lot out tonight from those on the fringe and those in the starting line up. I think only Young gets any credit at the back. Dougie, Kamara and JJ looked good together in parts. Ollie starting to gain confidence again. As for McGinn, I don't see a long term future for him under Emery, I just don't. Augustinson, Olsen, McGinn will be freeing up spots in the squad come the summer at the latest. I think there will be some cut throat decisions next summer with our owners backing Unai to put this right.

Can't remember a forward pass from him. He's like a shitter version of Neil Taylor. Bloody awful.

Enklemann 2.0

Just dreadful. Telegraphs every pass.... literally, taking an age to send it. It's like watching someone pass in morse code. Looks overweight and has the temperament of a hippo with the speed of a snail. I used to call Trez the headless chicken, but McGinn has stolen the mantle. Thieving a living for real.

I agree. It was a much stiffer test than Brentford in all fairness and there were periods where concentration levels need to be high. For the first time in a long time we can honestly say more than anything, concentration did not drop throughout the game. Even their goal was fortunate. I think apart from individual performances the collective performance from back to front was tip top.

Love to see this prick's reaction at FT.

Numero uno in midfield. And about time he started getting the recognition for just how assured and composed his is. Class player and another great game.

Some serious drama queen comments in here.

I'm not sure but funny how kicking to the Holte End in the first half has given us impetus to start quickly the last 2 home games.

Wow..... Just back after watching us look superb. Great atmosphere and watching us counter Utd like that and clinically dispatch them was a joy to behold. Magnificent.

I think it looks stupid, like the lion is now running away lol. I think it should be facing inward imo.

My thoughts are that I'm not over pleased at either but the round is better than the shield. I'm also confused as to why the lion on the badge has been turned to face the opposite direction. It looks weird and unnecessary.

Why, what has he done?

No.... From my understanding... He started on Monday, waited in a hotel on Tuesday, took his first session on Wednesday, and on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, he prepped for Sunday.
