Rodders Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 for me, for the next few games, I'd go three at the back. Not ideal, but we can't be leaking goals left right and centre again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showing support for one of our most iconic players in years is not "negative" Showing support and that he is in our thoughts, is so far the opposite of that =] Edited August 13, 2023 by Demitri_C 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People really think he's some kind of villain because he is very vocal about his beliefs. These are the same people who harp about leaving politics out of football when there's any little gesture they don't like, but they can't leave their goofy ass politics out of it when a human being suffered a nasty freak injury on live TV. The guy's as close to a saint as you can get in this game. Yes it's true that it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy you freaks. hope something hits them bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 SSN Super Sunday raving about how Newcastle have "lighted up the league, blew Villa away, couldn't handle them in the last half hour, amazing signings".... No mention of Villa, signings, or more importantly our guy Mings who is now not going to play, in what should still be, one of the best Villa seasons for years. Though I guess if it was a Rashford, or or a Saka, it'd be the headline of the day, disgusting really, was totally ignored!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always surprises me when people are surprised by what people say on twitter. Most football twitter is done by kids who are 13-19, they've never had a voice before, so they say outlandish things because they don't understand the context and haven't developed enough empathy. They don't realise that people suffer and lasting damage is a thing, they're 11-19 and have probably never lost a grandparent. I think people probably forget in the early noughtys, they were the ones going on rotten.com having a laugh with their mates at someone else's suffering. Just ignore it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf if we'd beaten them 5-1 and they kept talking about their player getting injured in the 1st half when we were already winning how would you feel about that? We're everyone's dark horses this year and Newcastle just pulled off a hugely impressive win, of course that's what they're talking about 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have been mentioned we lost the fight because we lost our tailis man to a season ending injury. But no, it was all about Newcastle and there amazing new signings.

CVByrne Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Well if we assume Mings career over or essentially over. If they see it's all his ligaments we know it's a 16-18 month recovery. We can look to replace him this window if we can. Laporte is still available or we can move for Foyth possibly Issue is we only had Mings and Carlos as the strong ball winning physical players. So we are back to being a team in transition with so many new players trying to get up to speed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
