Jas10 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Just now, sheepyvillian said: Bailey is quite a decent player at VP. Tbf to him, he has contributed and made an impact in home games. But Diaby and Zaniolo are on another level in terms of game intelligence and skill. Leon needs pushing… we have several players who should not be assured of a place in the side unless they’re are performing and training to a high level. Also, he played for Jamaica and may have had more travelling/jet lag to endure. I think we need to get Nico settled and integrated asap, he’s going to be a big help to us.

It's not the same Town as it was back in the day but there were plenty of pubs that Villa fans frequented, Hole in the Wall, The Windsor, Mr Bill's and The Ben Johnson. I was trying to remember the name of the one that was above the Old Square by the Coster monger, it was shaped like a square box. Such a shame how the Town has lost that once special atmosphere. Even though a lot of the Zulu firm were really good friends of mine, I was firmly in the Villa corner when it mattered. Bloody mobile phones, spoilt everything! The Cabin was Villa as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started getting a bit hairy for us in 1984. The season after we smashed the fledgling Zulus outside the hole in Wall when they came a Zuluing round the corner form McDonalds They started landing us after games quite a lot. That said we used to go for a quite pint in the Crown from time to time Edited September 16, 2023 by Follyfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The C Crew would always be in the Windsor before the game. I remember the Cockney Reds coming in there before one game with Utd. They were downstairs, we were up, it soon went off after a few pints, also, after that game, the same two firms had a battle Royale, all the way from VP to The Crown and Cushion.

MSvillain Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Hogdson won't be on the sidelines now either as he has been taken ill, we need to win this in impressive fashion all things considered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Best wishes to Roy. No Hodgson as well means this absolutely has to be a win I'm afraid. That'll be unpleasant for the Palace side if he's been ill this morning. If we play well, we will win. Let's do that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Can’t wait to see Zaniolo from the start, and amazing to have Moreno back in the squad. Give him 20 at the end to ease him back in, hopefully while we’re 3-0 up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
