  1. I like what I’ve seen from him and I still want us to be shopping in the championship, there are good young premier league players there.
  2. Yep agree with that. They are different players and I’d love two more.
  3. We lost something when he went off, that Diaby didn’t replace
  4. Yes that’s exactly what I’m saying
  5. I didn’t say you wernt allowed to criticise people for their opinion it’s a forum after all. Your point was this is why we support and don’t criticise. The point is that blind support isn’t always correct if a player isn’t up to it then they deserve criticism. Bailey wasn’t up to it and I’m sure Unai criticised him and did drop him. Are you supporting Dendocker, Traore, Chamber et al? Bailey has turned the corner and come back stronger and I’m all for it, happy to give players like Zaniolo the benefit of time aswell but at the moment his performances don’t deserve blind support either.
  6. You’re allowed to criticise players, he was really poor now he’s playing great, absolutely deserves the praise and is impacting games.
  7. I missed the second half thought Kamara was the stand out at that point
  8. I really dont think this is the point. As stated they broadcast across lots of different mediums in genres to suit everyone and everything. The question for me is could you now create a "free" thinking organisation that has its hand in producing new tv, shows, artists musicians and culture that it does, the simple answer is no. The value of something is not always in the profit it makes and the BBC does and has had an immeasurable positive impact on the UK. The attacks they receive is due to the tories when the BBC says something true and they dont like it, even though they give more than enough time to people like Kussenberg and Question time to spoute positive spin for them. Everything is not about profit and your point about performing in a private market is perfect conservatism. Close the care homes, the youth and after school clubs, remove benefits because they dont make profit. When in fact they impact positiviely much further down the line as does the BBC everyday. Saying that the BBC obviously has its flaws but it is idolised all over the world for what it achieves.
  9. I was in the north lower with the entrance on the Doug Ellis side, if we had been a minute later we would have struggled to get in I think. They were shutting the gate and stopping all fans coming through. Rushed past a police man on the floor surrounded by colleagues and there did seem to be panic from everyone. Sounds a bit of a perfect storm, Villa riled fans by lowering the allocation, fans turned up on purpose hoping to get in regardless, police didn’t manage it properly. No doubt there were normal fans wanting to come in and probably some roudy ones but nothing wrong with that. Others were just there to cause trouble.
  10. Got my yearly pension statement today, went down by 30 quid
  11. Has he had that lion tattoo done while hes been here?
  12. Didn’t realise he had a son who has been picked up by Salzburg which is a good sign. Only 16 but I’d love him to end up at Villa.
  13. He’s clearly got ability just isn’t doing it for villa at the moment. His performances and more importantly Baileys impact probably justify him being dropped. Got no problem with Emery trusting him and I expect him to make an impact at some point.
  14. Ive seen things stating that Gaza is blocking a rival project for the Suez Canal and that it has geographic control over a potential off sea gas field, proabably just conspiracy theories. I dont see a scenario where Israel take Gaza completely, they probably want to but I think it would be all out war in the region if they did.

    Arsenal

    Rice has been generally good. You cant strengthen everywhere all in one season. Raya, Timber, Rice and Havertz seemed to strengthen the spine of the team. Two big mistakes that they have made is making Raya number one and signing Havertz. Ramsdale is a better a keeper and more importantly his personality made a difference.Havertz has been terrible for his whole time in the premier league I have no idea what he is or where he fits in any team. They definately could have got Maddison over Tottenham. As for a striker Balogun should have been kept and Toney has to be the one for them, Watkins could also have been that man.
  16. Maguire has actually been pretty decent so maybe a concussion is what he needs every game. Antony is hilariously terrible.
  17. I think the problem is conservatism doesn’t work. At its base ideology it is austerity of public service privatisation to big business to generate “wealth”. Not that any of this lot necessarily believe or understand it and as you say will say anything as long as they deem it popular. This is always doomed to fail over a long enough period and create inequality. The idea of empire and nationalism fits perfectly into this and strikes a cord with people wanting to be part of the mega beast the UK once was. You see it in the US people are happy to say they are the best when equality and public services have never been lower. Similar things can be said of socialism but what was the labour ideology of being on the workers side seems to have been lost as too many of the workers like the idea of empire. On a side note I really like Rory Stewart and they made a massive error to turn back by not appointing him when they had the chance in my opinion. He even has the teeth for the stereo typical Brit.
  18. Amazing news, get those scarfs out lads.
  19. Seeing himself as the big fish was part of the reason that made he him great for us. Its horrible seeing him play now, hes a consistent footballer now not a consistent match winner or consistent moments of magic which is sad to see. Strange to see players like Doku being lauded over him as he takes on a man, that was what he was great at. Id welcome him back with open arms on a free, I assume he signed a 5 year deal so that would make him 31. Unfortunately I agree with your points, hell be playing in Miami by then.
  20. Tories stole Covid money to back Hamas to attack the Israelis in order blame Corbyn and bring labour down. Simple’s.
  21. Because of his fame it’s forgotten just how good of a player he was. It wasn’t just his free kicks. He worked hard, he was pretty fast and had a nasty streak alongside delivering pure quality, the way he struck the ball was a joy to behold. Also blaming Victoria for the way he grabbed fame, he says in the documentary it’s what he wanted and he sort it out. I think marrying her is a result of that not the cause.
  22. I’m confirmed reports Hezbollah have attached aswell, so fighting on the Lebanon border now aswell.
  23. Both from the I had a nap speech I think
