Yep, good news is that's stretch of very winnable games.

We really miss Buendia..

Looking like we'll have to bring on players we were hoping to rest.

Probably ethnic Croatian

Tielemans...he looks like his mind is somewhere else.

Duran just called that defender a "motherf*cker"

The only way to build a new stadium would be to do a gound share for the bulk of 2 seasons with West Brom or Coventry while VP is demolished and rebuilt. Can't envision that happening for at least another 20 years.

I have 4 viable RB's. I'd love to start 3 this week, but I have to start 2 TE instead.

These 2 talk over each other too much and it gets annoying at times. Decent pod otherwise.

Good club for Dean to give it another go.

I don't like the shine effect down the middle of it. Makes it look a bit chintzy.

I wonder if we were ever close

I'd feel happier for them if I didn't know anything about who and what has funded them. I'm so grateful Villa are owned by relatively normal, private people.

PSG fans providing most of it, tbh

Dembele might have done better there

FTFY

Oh no, it's Andre Cordero and Ray Hudson on the American feed, might have to mute.

If he "felt something" after Chelsea, he should've had imaging done straight away, not after playing another game.

It's been a concern of mine for over a year now.

I must admit I miss the full WR/TE/RB Flex option. Maybe we can revisit it next preseason.

A couple of years ago in Portland, Maine, a young American guy in his early 20's saw me with my noticeably original Reebok AST shirt on and he stopped me to inspect it. He was really awed by it, lol. A lot has changed here over the years with the Premier League and global football in general having permeated the culture somewhat now, particularly among the younger generations, who have watched the Premier League every weekend since they were little kids.

It also lacks yellow.

I'm not sure who you're referring to when you say "we", and I'm not even sure what country you're from, but I'm assuming the US or Canada? Anyway, I grew up in Boston and I can assure you we in Boston had very tribal and reciprocated animosity towards fans of all of New York's major teams with the exception of the Islanders, who were nothing to us. Bruins fans and Montreal fans despised each other. Patriots-Jets and later Patriots-Giants was intense. Celtics-76ers in the 80's was bitter, as was Celtics-Lakers, but that was more "abstract" being so far away from each other. All that said, England is about the same size as New England, and all their clubs are jam packed together so their tribal animosity is probably based on more of a contemptuous familiarity due to geographical proximity. The Boston-New York rivalry would geographically be like Newcastle-Plymouth Argyle having a massive rivalry lol. As far as being a Villa fan in the States, I may as well be speaking Urdu to most of my friends and family if Villa were to be mentioned. But I connected with a Brummie Villan living in Boston back in the 90's when we watched games on satellite at Irish pubs. There was great camaraderie among all the English football junkies back then, a mixture of Yanks, English and Irish. If you wanted to watch Villa, you had to hope their match was being shown, which wasn't that often, and you had to go to the pub showing it. Nowadays, I can watch every Villa game on my phone without getting out of bed, which is fantastic, but it's isolating as well. My primary lifeline to Villa talk over the years has been..... VillaTalk, so cheers, all!

We have an antiquated system, in every conceivable way.

Maudlin McCarthy laying it on thick in a long-winded "farewell" speech. So embarrassing.
