  1. Wigan won the FA Cup a few years back, and where did that propel them to as a club? We need CL above all.
  2. Getting CL money and signing players we'd be unable to sign if not in the CL means we'd be more competitive in all competitions going forward.
  3. Of these, I've only seen Air, which was an enjoyable little movie.
  4. Qualifying for the CL. It will give us the opportunity to sign a few elite players who can help us go far in the CL, win the FA Cup next year, and win the Premier League too!
  5. Scores the game winning goal on his return, so happy for him. It'll be interesting to see how Emery approaches these upcoming league games, especially Man City and Arsenal. I think he'll probably revert back to giving Digne and Moreno 45 minutes each vs Bournemouth but giving Digne the bulk of the gametime against Man City and Arsenal.
  6. It took me decades to appreciate Country music. I still think the overwhelming percentage of it is rubbish, but some of it is redemptive. I'm partial to the Western Swing style as opposed to the cartoonish Nashville stuff. The early Bob Wills stuff is very interesting. It was kind of urbane, with elements of jazz, Mexican and even Cuban music, in total contradiction to the prevailing perception of Country as simplistic, backwoods redneck music. Contemporary Country radio is a vortex of vomit.
  7. Yep, the good news is that he's **** dead.
  8. At the end of the day, V-Sports is a money making enterprise, and it's hard to argue with the success and stature of Emery and Monchi. But if an academy player is good enough, I'd expect him to be given the chance to be a first team regular just like any of the players from the V stable will. The cream rises to the top. As for Ramsey, if he stays fit he can develop into an England regular and many clubs will come knocking. And if the offer is good enough and fits in with the long term strategy and FFP parameters, I'd think that he, and any of our other players could be sold. I expect Monchi to be ruthless and unsentimental. We probably won't like to see some of these players moved on, especially Ramsey, but if a deal makes sense, they'll do it.
  9. His flame has been snuffed out because he's been forced to think and not just feel. A fantasist like Jack needs freedom, not rigid, restrictive systems.
  10. That Donnarumma howler was so bad it truly makes me wonder if it was intentional. Nobody wants to admit that games are fixed.
  11. I was pleased that the Guardian Football podcast mentioned Villa-Spurs first.
  12. 5 straight losses, and all not even close. I think I'm toast!
  13. Except that we are presently equal on points with Liverpool. It's a slight!
  14. And they've lost to worse sides than Villa.
  15. On Premier League Extra, they had a segment about title contenders, and they put up a graphic with the badges of Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, and....the Premier League trophy. No mention of Villa during the segment.
  16. Wow, Fulham equal on points to Wolves now. Big win.
  17. Yes, but the Conference League is the tricky bit. Those games will get harder the deeper we go /Kenneth

    Elon Musk

    American right wingers are interpreting this tweet as a call to kill.
  19. Kennedy was shot from behind by Oswald and from the front by unknown assassin, with the CIA pulling the strings by pinning it on Oswald and then killing him before he could talk.
