She'd be delighted to hear that.

If his father could see him now

I'm not so sure I'd be. It's underhanded and it's gaming the system, despite it's claimed "legality". I'd want Aston Villa to be above it.

I love these scale vids

A Canadian search and rescue crew have "heard sounds" that could be the sub...

Toon fans in the comments in full support of this scheme.

I almost respect the hubris...almost.

I expect pragmatism from Emery, but he's also been quoted as saying "We aren't going to waste time", so I'm not entirely sure what to expect this summer. Pragmatic signings in Moreno and Tielmanns. But maybe massive cash outlays/bigger risks on other players?

Fair point.

Unbelievable. And nothing apparently will stop this.

Missing Submersible: Vessel Disappears During Dive to the Titanic Wreck Site - The New York Times (nytimes.com) They have about 48 hours left of oxygen if they're still somewhere down there alive...pretty grim situation.

Would.

Yeah, it's a bit flat

Wouldn't it depend on the context? For example, a white man with ginger hair was seen mugging an old lady yesterday, and police are asking the public for help in identifying him. The mugger has just been racially profiled. Is it racism? A bank has a hiring quota based on racial demographics. They are seeking to identify credentialed Black candidates. Racism? (I suppose one could argue that the hiring quota is racist in and of itself, but that's a more complex argument))

The thing with this anti-woke movement in schools is that they are attempting to craft a fantasy past in which slavery wasn't that bad and heroic white people saved the day, Indians weren't slaughtered and driven off land en masse, and historical housing/lending/job discrimination isn't even considered. *Because they don't want white students to feel bad*. It's insane, and antithetical to learning. The past informs the present, but again, the right wing also lives in a contemporary fantasy land where racism doesn't exist, Trump won the 2020 election, and drag queens are eating children.

Sadly, this is precisely a situation in which Christian Purslow would really earn his pay at Villa (as club advocate, and by extension advocate for non Sky clubs in general) Who assumes a similar position for us now? Surely not Heck. Not Lange, based on his new title. Monchi? The other guy?

I'd do all of that again minus kick and rush

He's clueless.

Neves is still a very useful player. That's a big signing for the head choppers.

The problem now is the big media players in the US and probably the UK as well reap big profits on driving the Left v Right "cold war". "Controversies" are pulled out of thin air (almost always by conservative outlets) whenever there's a lull in the action. Just the other day, Trump said to his crowd about Transgender matters, "You didn't even know about it four years ago". A glimpse of truth from Trump there. It's a manufactured outrage, just like the Critical Race Theory thing. And we see how quickly public policy is shaped in reaction to these made up issues. DeSantis literally said he doesn't think white students should be "made to feel bad" about slavery, lynchings, and what was essentially American Apartheid for one hundred years following Emancipation. I'm afraid the gulf between the sides is too massive to bridge as long as right wing media lies to it's audience for money, and the audience demands to be lied to.

Just a shame that the lion isn't gold.

Id think Forest would do everything possible to keep him.

All quiet in the Transfer Front

Hopefully with Monchi's arrival, the transfer floodgates open for real. Williams first, please!
