Could be a useful player for one of the relegation teams.

Soton defense holding firm

Looks like a cycling shirt

This is the shade of claret that Villa need, not the dark pink claret they we usually get saddled with.

The Arsenal gear looks really good this season. Imagine what they might do for us for '22-'23?

I do not like these swimming pool jerseys that Liverpoop are wearing.

I like these Soton kits with the one cross stripe. If I were a fan, I wouldn't mind making it a permanent thing. There must be twenty English clubs with the vertical red and white stripes.

Boris making an announcement tonight...say bye-bye to football for a while.

The one position for which we currently lack effective cover is striker. Davis doesn't score goals. Loan him out or sell him outright and sign Josh King or try to get Diego Costa on a 6-18 month contract.

They seem to be finding their appropriate level as a club again.

Teams with winning records not qualifying for the playoffs in the AFC while NFC teams with losing records win their division. I hope this spurs calls for a restructuring. Divisions don't mean what they used to mean. Teams switching divisions and conferences, moving cities. Why have divisions when outcomes like this happen. I remember the Pats didn't make it after going 11-5 because some other division was weak. It still bothers me. That was the season Brady got hurt early on and Matt Cassell played really good and deserved to lead the team into the playoffs. He got robbed, we got robbed. My fix: Scrap the divisions. The teams with the best records in each conference advance to the playoffs. Simple. Of course, it will never happen.

Lampard on the chopping block?

Anything longer than a month suspension will be pretty catastrophic with the Euros looming. Players will be keeling over and dying on the pitch from exhaustion this time next year.

I think it's possible, in two weeks time, that the UK is under total lockdown again and the football season is suspended.

Maybe not all of them. Some of these guys are total idiots.

Buendia not for sale, says Farke. And why would he be when they are chasing promotion?

Villa News Now I don't know why I return there day after day thinking it's going to suddenly not be complete and utter garbage.

I bask in the sunray of never doing this, and recommend to everyone on here to follow suit.

Half the time when typing "thanks" in an email, etc., I type "thnaks".

Or Traore.

Nice finish, but that pass is giving me a boner

Its strategic to play some of the bench warmers for this in case they are called upon again if a regular starter is out injured, sick or suspended. Get Heaton in there. Rest the fullbacks, Jack, SJM, Ollie, Luiz.

It's why losing on Friday was doubly bad. Had we won, the board would likely feel more compelled to strengthen the squad than they might now.

Strike while the iron is hot. I'd love to see it from the board.
