Dante_Lockhart Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 My lad has been watching some streamers roleplay on a Minecraft server and to be honest they're pretty funny and it's an entertaining watch. Would much rather watch that than the tripe on terrestrial TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this has been the case historically, especially Manu. We were beaten before we started a lot of games against Manu in the last 30 years.

Smith or Dyche or Hassenhuttl make a comment that a ref make an error, or refs are costing their club points it comes to nothing. If Ole, or Klopp, or Jose say it then it’s all over the news. If there’s a specific incident then it will be trawled over by everyone. This is why refs will always give the managers that generate media attention the benefit of any doubt. If not their ability is publicly scrutinised. It’s just done for an easier life. Man United have had a ridiculous amount of penalties over the last 2 seasons, what does Ole say? He says that he thinks Man United are not getting the decisions they deserve and are been harshly officiated. It keeps the penalties coming, and Ole knows it.

Add to that fergie demonstrated that he had power over the media doing bans and blackouts from the training ground and interviews if they didn't play his tune they had the ability to pay the fines to keep them out, the power to give them the exclusives if they did what he wanted etc They have huge influence that we simply don't The penalties to utd stat is mental, so mental that I expect another one this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve nothing against him personally but I do find it strange that people get paid for sports reporting that is mostly uninformed guesswork that isn’t even insightful. I also think a Villa fan would have more drive to cover the club better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think «big» club bias amongst refs is a thing, though, and that as a whole, Premier League refs are quite incompetent and lack a fundamental understanding of the game they are tasked with officiating. This has only been confirmed by how they have handled VAR. I have no evidence to suggest they are part of a criminal conspiracy, nor a conspiracy against Aston Villa FC. But f*** me, they are crap.

villa4europe Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 My social media is interesting with my younger family members, early to mid 20s, they seem to have evolved during the lockdown from nando-ites to Miller and Carter, that's seemingly the place to be (and to be fair I love that place) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Yeah the lobster side you can tell is a bit cheap and dirty but the crowd in there, myself included, won't be big lobster eaters I didn't have a good steakhouse in kiddy so it served a purpose and I've never had a bad meal in there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could take it or leave it usually, but it’s probably my favourite takeaway at the moment. Much prefer eating out for it though, same with Indian food. We are going out tomorrow night for a Chinese. Lovely place in Penkridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
