I cannot believe that first we're being lumbered with this 1997 clipart that doesn't even look like it was made by a graphic design studio for the next 20 years AND, to absolutely take the piss, they've not even bothered to announce the new crest because they know there's been a backlash against it AND Heck is flexing his muscles in a marketing magazine about the whole thing where he gaslights the fans.

It's a complete farce. I hope he completes his remit here in raising revenue, but I won't be sad to see him feck off somewhere else to ruin them instead.

We're doing it. The ten minute Chris heck drop shadow lion. We're doing it, we're actually doing it.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

It is absolutely 100% Aston Villa to have a big kit provider, to make the kit actually look like a decent template and then to put two logos on it that were pasted into Microsoft Paint

Sorry to say this once again, but HOW did we let these total chumps take 6 off us?! With one of them being a classic 2-0 to the Villa, we're done here.

I hate this club. I hate their stupid stadium, I hate their stupid fans, I hate their players and I hate their curse put on us. I hate this club more that Blues. At least I don't have to actually hate Blues because I think they shouldn't exist as a club, but this lot have been nothing but complete and utter misery for me since the mid 90s

If we're really going to have a go at this Champions League madness then we need to put teams to the sword at 2-0. 2-0 is our cursed scoreline.

OMG IT IS APRIL WHAT IS OUR NEW BADGE GOING TO BE PLEASE FFS

Man United, the ultimate "nope, not investing any time watching this one, next" fixture continues to deliver.

Oh good, it's my favourite fixture.

Either 0-1 to Man United despite us outplaying then or 2-3 after us being 2-0 up

When I created my VT account: 101 miles

Now: 8 miles

I hear Klopp is leaving? Had to find that one out myself

This has been dragging on for far too long. Someone, please say something. What an absolute shambles.

The usual Liverpool it's more important bigger better more prestigious etc etc because it's Liverpool bollocks.

Can't **** stand it.

I once chatted to a bloke in a pub that kept on insisting that Anfield was "a magical place" and there was no other team even close to their passion and culture.

He did not accept my thoughts on the matter. That about 80% of fans think the same about their own clubs.

Put aside the Saudis, Stevie. Become the manager you were born to be.

Eh, it's largely overrated.  I like at least the illusion of everyone involved having a good time, not sobbing their way to climax.  God knows I get enough of that by myself.  And don't get me started on their haphazard approach to mise en scène, pfft, Truffaut and Bazin would be spinning in their graves.

 

I've not interacted with your for -years- and yet you've still got the magic gareth touch.

How do you know that? The trial hasn’t begun yet.

The bigger the case is, the more likely whoever has the most money and time to spare wins/has the most favorable outcome.

They're going to bankroll this to make it continue forever

These are getting away with their FFP breaches scott-free.

Bit petty no? 

Yes I agree the badge is shite but it's still a villa shirt.

It's part of the shirt. If I don't like it, I don't buy it. Not really petty, just standard consumer actions really.

I mean, I'll just buy other merch instead?

The one reminder that I enjoy about this is no matter what we do, ever, nothing we will ever see on one of our shirts will ever compare to how absolutely appalling that club's badge is.

They can't the kits are going to be in production.

This part is criminal.

It's almost like he KNEW there would be a backlash against his actions, so went "sod it get them made ASAP so it's too late"

It is absolutely 100% Aston Villa to finally sign a deal with a big supplier - the first major supplier we have had since Nike ended in 2010 - which will feature something I've always dreamed of (i.e. Addidas 3 stripes in claret and blue) and we're going to put a clipart badge on it that will render it unbuyable for me.

According to the article, Dundee are being eyed up by Burnley's owners, but it doesn't mention the other two.

Isn't there a story that we got our colours from Hearts and Rangers? If so, it must be written in the stars!

I was sure it was the tiling in the Bartons Arms
