TrentVilla Posted September 1, 2015 Moderator Share Posted September 1, 2015 I think he'll play and play pretty well. I think he plays reasonably well when he's in a sulk anyway. Told you.... Haha! So you did! I came into this thread to confess my foolishness! Having said that, I still think he'll play - he's a sulker, but he's trapped. You are probably right although if he does he will have to go back on what he has said, so will look a little foolish either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted September 2, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) Having said that, I still think he'll play - he's a sulker, but he's trapped. Exactly. Er You was saying??? Now they have zero money and a player that refuses to play for them. What a complete mess He won't refuse. Young lad will get over the hurt soon enough. He has never struck me as someone who was in love with the game. You're right. "Love" hardly captures it. It's something deeper.

Zatman Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 McClean is a rocket polisher, he gets himself into trouble and while this might be a harmless prank its easily avoided and will only draw attention to himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted September 25, 2015 Moderator Share Posted September 25, 2015 Well not in itself. But it's a(n I'll advised) change of tack because it's not a banter topic. Up until now his actions around his religious beliefs have made him controversial but at least consistent and he has been able to keep the higher ground through not retaliating or sometimes through eloquent explanation. While this is what he might call a light hearted jibe, Zatman is right that it draws attention to him and it's the first time it could be said that he has gone down a level. If he starts to stoop to the level of his lowest detractors then they'll beat him with experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted September 25, 2015 Moderator Share Posted September 25, 2015 And numbers!Will be interested to see if the FA do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Christ just looked at the league table (well top half as bottom half is too x rated) and this lot are somehow 8th, Zatman will probably call for all of their results to be annualled.Anyway it does show you don't have to be anythin more than average to be around those areas, just too the bare minimum e.g keep clean sheets and have goalscorers like Berahino and Rondon in your line up.It shows how appalling we are season in season out we can't even get close to that area in the league nowadays.

StefanAVFC Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 It also shows that a good, well organised manager can take any bunch of players and make them into a team.You can't look at WBA's squad and say it's honestly better than ours.

NoelVilla Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Yes, seeing where we are now Tony Pulis would have been good to have at Villa for a few seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I would rather be 19th than have a manager like Pulis at the club, he is a poor mans McLeish who at least has silverware to show for his negative football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 as for their squad they have players in important positions that would walk into our team and a better spine. McAuley, Evans, Fletcher, Yacob and Berahino. Only Richards and Gueye are as good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Richards and Gueye are as goodMcAuely is about 36 is he not, WBA fans have been pretty critical on Fletcher this season, his best game was comfortably against us surprise surprise, Yacob's alright but get Sanchez just to purely defend and he could do just as good as job, I would've taken Evans.

Zatman Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Yaob is a dirty little bastard and what you need in midfield, cant remember last time we had one of them. McAuley and Fletcher might not be lighting up the league and bit over the hill but they are type of experienced leaders you need at this level.
