  1. A different version of this could be cool if you lose the crown, change the posture of the lion, and change the entire artistic style of the lion and ball.
  2. What I mean is that fan groups in Europe (even ones with no actionable power or Ultra menace) can make owners and executives uncomfortable in a way that just doesn't happen in the US.
  3. Damn, him and Zaniolo would have been a thrill.
  4. Just needs black boots to complete the look. He already has the 90's hair style!
  5. We need to get back to this shade of blue, not the powder style of recent years.
  6. Picking up from the fan consult thread, one of the things that is a concern about Heck is that American sports executives are not held to account by fans the way they are in Europe, so he might be bemused by Villa supporters who demand transparency and accountability.
  7. I've been Villa-obsessed since 1994, but I've only been to Villa Park once, and that was 24 years ago. So as up-to-date as I've always been with Villa on the pitch, I've been very much the outsider looking in on matters pertaining to ticket prices and the match day experience, things that do not effect me directly. That said, I commiserate with all of you who feel aggrieved by the club over these issues that have cropped up lately. Purslow always struck me as someone to be wary of, despite his credentials and the positives he brought to the club. And I'm also wary of Heck. I doubt either had/has any authentic affinity with Villa supporters. The disconnection has obviously led to a chasm between the brass and supporters. It seemed to me from my vantage point that the long term Villa supporters were the glue of the club over the tumultuous late Lerner-Xia-relegation-early NSWE period. But now that the club has it's shine back, that supporter-led stewardship gets short shrift by the people crunching numbers at the club. And that disrespect is a damn shame, as expressed so well by Mr. Fear. I understand the economics involved and why the club is desperately trying to maximize revenue. But the lack of transparency, insensitivity and disrespect shown towards long time core support damages "the brand" in ways are more difficult to gauge than a negative quarterly P&L report.
  8. Pats with the fumble recovery in Eagles half, proceed to go 4 and out. The Brady to Jones trajectory is kind of disorienting. We haven't had a starting QB this ineffective since Hugh Millen.
  9. The Clash Van Halen (w/Roth) Bowie Prince The Clash and original VH both broke up around the time I first started going to concerts (with adult chaperones ) But Bowie and Prince...just didn't expect them to bite the dust so young.
  10. Just read the quote and I'm not impressed. We've played 6 games. He needs to shut it and keep that stuff in house. Hopefully Emery has an effective conversation with him.
  11. Doesn't have to be attacking players. Flashy can be any player that arrives with some combination of hype and reputation and skill.
  12. It's so much more than that. The Glazers are parasites on the club. Buying flashy players is meant to obscure the true nature of what they've been doing.
  13. Just gonna keep adding to this- Invited a convicted paedophile to be a special guest at the biggest women’s football match in the club’s history.
  14. I'm more into House and lo-fi/ambient than trance type stuff, but yes, that was impressive quality. Top notch, @osmark86 !
  15. I've messed around with a couple of DAWs over the years but found them hard to get comfortable or proficient with. Im sure theres a big market for the novice/casual that is underserved. I'll check this out.
  16. It starts off on the chorus, but then that verse it jumps to sounds a mess. The pre chorus does something interesting, there's an odd note you don't expect. And then the chorus again which is pretty meat and potatoes.
  17. You know, after I posted it here, I listened to it til the end and it's not that bad. When Keith plays the lead part it sounds more like old Stones.
  18. It turns out that IS Charlie doing a approximation of the Charlie Watts style
  19. The United fans would be up in arms (more than they already are) if they signed Anwar. In a way, I'd feel better if he didn't go there, because he'd get abuse from them.
