Stephen_Evans Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Aaaaaanyway……..must be at least a week since I posted that claret detailing is essential to make Mr Heck’s badge work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Has anyone got a mock up of what the badge should look like? We haven't had one of those for a while. Or have we finally run out of permutations of claret, blue, Aston Villa, and lion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano & Dalian's Umbrella Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 There was an episode of Seinfeld where George let rip at his boss and resigned, then realised he had made a mistake and so went back to work the next day, pretending it never happened. I think this is what is happening with the badge. It will never be mentioned again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good points made of course my friend. Just highlighting these as they are fundamental, no? I am sure we can both agree Mr Steven Gerrard did not know how to cope tactically in the Premier league and, for example, failed to utilise Leon Bailey properly. That period was a very frustrating one in which we saw the club we support stagnate and go backwards. It was deflating. In Mr Heck's case, he arrived the year after the club had promised a fresh rebrand. (Parking the round badge) all indicators are that Mr. Heck's own vision of this process is a style reminiscent of the old badge we thought was about to be consigned to the history books. Likewise, in 2022 we had stunning renders of a redeveloped Villa Park - all done with taste and a nod to the historic aesthetic of the stadium as a traditional four stand affair. This too has been jettisoned as is Mr Heck's perogative and he may well be right. But to some it feels like the club is making missteps off the field and it has been a bit deflating. Everyone just wants the best for Villa and from those who work on the football and non football side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was in the Directors Club hospitality area where people are a bit more civilised, and simply want to say hello and have a 30 second chat. Christian Purslow was always happy to, as was Pitarch. Heck, never. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are people still harping on about this? 25+ years after they increased the amount of teams. The old European Cup was a joke. Have you seen some of Liverpool's runs to win it? Beating absolute shit and even a bye. They changed it for the reasons you said, that the UEFA Cup was harder to win (ignoring how you qualify of course) because you had to beat the second best teams in Italy or Spain instead of playing Ferencvaros and Sparta Prague. Increasing the amount of teams in the CL improved it exponentially. It became the elite European competition again. Yes its called the "Champions" League but who gives a ****? Semantic rubbish. UEFA have ballsed up a lot of things in their time but this wasn't one of them. Edited February 10 by R.Bear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would dare say the “absolute shit” they faced were able to keep hold of their better players than would be able to now. So, say, Anderlecht, were probably on a closer footing to the likes of Liverpool and AC Milan back then than they are now. Plus, as you say, you had to win the league to be compete. Man Utd supporters I imagine probably consider 1999 as the club’s pinnacle. Well, under the old piss easy way, sorry Fergie, no treble for you. We should discount all those Madrid wins in the 50’s and 60’s. Sorry Puskás, sorry Di Stéfano, R.Bear thinks your competition were basically as good as the lads from the Dog & Duck. That being said, I don’t think the new badge needs to wedded to the 1982 win. So I agree on that front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how you've completely misinterpreted what I've said to suit your own narrative so trying to "argue" your points will be a waste of time. But I am amused by the 1999 point. "If the rules, werent the rules, then it wouldn't have happened." What a great take! I was merely pointing out that the changed to the CL were nothing but positive. Villa fans moaning because you had to be champions when we won it is exactly what Liverpool fans used to do, right up until 2005, funnily enough. It changed, its better, much harder to win. Get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
