  1. Can we also ditch BK8 after this season for a blue chip sponsor?
  2. It comes with the territory. People want to jump on the good vibes bandwagon, and why shouldn't they? Life is hard and the world is f*ck*d, but if Villa can distract you from all that and make you happy, I say jump on board. All Villa fans started at a particular moment in time. I've noticed there are now about 25 Villa podcasts and YouTube channels, half of which have seemed to just appear out of nowhere. The interest is definitely cranking up. I think there shouldn't be any gatekeeping, and I think most Villa fans would give a warm welcome to bandwagoners.
  3. I'm excited about this deal because I've always wanted to see Aston Villa decked out in Adidas. I really, really hope we get bespoke designs and not their cookie cutter stuff off the rack. For the home shirt I want something fairly conservative, but smart and classy. Yellow or gold stripes and a white collar with a cool, subtle design on it. Yellow or gold sponsor logo as well to keep it matching. And a blue chip sponsor would be the icing on the cake.
  4. Not good. Ecuador Plunges Into Crisis Amid Prison Riots, Kidnappings - The New York Times (nytimes.com)
  5. I'd prefer yellow trim, and yellow sponsor graphic. Also a collar, and the old style trefoil Adidas logo!
  6. I'd take him as squad depth if the price is right, and part of the equation would be how much we get for Durán.
  7. That's what people said about Boaz Myhill, but lo and behold...
  8. Jonathan David would be a great signing, especially if he knows he's not going to be our top striker unless he wins the job.
  9. New Balance makes quality gear across the board, but in terms of football shirt prestige, not yet. So probably 1 of the other 3, my guess is Adidas.
  10. I loved that Stevenage song performance in Spinal Tap
  11. I hope nobody looked up Bilbo Baggez from Universidad de Chile..
  12. Lots of buzz over Ligue 2 phenom Inigo Montoya from FC Florin. Left footed striker. Could be worth a punt?
  13. Why did people say Alan Shearer had a robotic personality back in the day, I find him more engaging than most commentators.
  14. Another Arteta masterstroke signing Havertz.
  15. The yellow is way too faint, IMO.
  16. If Maidstone can figure it out, why can't we?
  17. Arsenal wearing their home Spurs strip I see..

    Yeah, I hadn't considered the cost..

    Jhon Durán

    Look at the stiffs he's forced to play with. I think the smart move was to keep all three and see how the two youngins panned out.

    You should do a helicopter tour to feast your eyes on the enormity of the L.A. basin.

    Live Cuban music is always a good option there. Plenty of swanky hotel bars if that's your thing. If the Dolphins are playing, you could catch some live gridiron. The Hurricanes are the local college team as well.
  22. Proudly flying the Villa flag in America since 1994.

  23. Yes, it's quite likely this. And to be fair to Heck, who is presently facing a brewing storm of hostility, his fundamental remit with Villa is to work every angle he can to save and pump more cash into the club's coffers. If people are displeased with Heck so far, and I'm one of them, perhaps more scrutiny should fall upon Wes Edens, who is apparently the one who pushed for the hire, and Sawiris, who signed off on it. If the owners are willing to let the new commercial guy blow up the new badge that supporters just voted for, only to be replaced by the previous **** badge, what else will they let this guy get away with? It's the badge that represents our lowest point in decades. And we want to return to that image? If the club values a cohesive and coherent "brand identity" as an important initiative as Villa reasserts itself on the world stage, then the last few months have been an abject failure in that regard, and because it's happening in conjunction with the positive and exciting results on the pitch, it makes it all the more frustrating, and a reminder of embarrassing episodes we've had to endure with incompetent regimes in the past. From a marketing perspective, this badge calamity is making Villa look like rank amateurs. Edit: And then there's the whole stadium redevelopment reversal. Really flimsy stuff from the owners.
