    He'll be a much better player when he's playing in a midfield 4 of Casemiro, Fernandes, Amrabat, and the Referee.

    The novelty may well wear off, you are right, but playing advocate here, it's still more than most owners do for their community. In my opinion the effort should be admired. Most owners spin all sorts when it comes to community, but as someone once said, principles aren't principles unless they cost you money.

    Apparently loads of Yank tourists now, and third party investment. A real estate company has just invested 130 million into a new commercial base there, and they have cited the Wrexham FC owners influence on the town as a reason. I love our owners, and the pantheon that is Villa Park, but walk 100m in any direction.....

    I know a couple of people who live in Wrexham, and they say that the town is seeing an upturn, shops are opening on previously dead High streets etc, and they put it down to the investments put into the local economy by Rob and Ryan. Say what you want about the football side, I can't think of many cases where the community has benefitted like that, or owners that could give a f*** about their 'environment', for want of a better word. Fair play.

    I just don’t see why everyone goes nuts for vini Jr. He's got bags of talent, but like neymar in all the times I've seen him he does not seem to fit into a team structure. He was bang average the last time I watched him.

    If you need any tips on flight school let me know. I did a ppl a long time ago. Before kids, which scuppered me on the flying front.

    Say goodbye to your wife and kids, sleep, and other trivial distractions. And never trust the Aztec dude. He acts nice and then turns and stabs you in the whatnots.

    Are the two highlighted paras said by the same person? If so they've done a 180

    Yeah we did one at that age and it properly sucks. I actually ended up hating our trip, and returned to work twice as fatigued as I left. It does get better though, and this year I'm organising a trip to Eurodisney with my 8 and 6 y/o boys. Cannot wait.

    Fragile as a glass child.

    We've won our last 4 comprehensively. If you're not confident after that you might as well go and play Cricket or something.

    Tbh I've just been using 'Liverpool's new midfielder'.
  14. Hobsons Choice
    We've had some horrendous injuries though. We've not had anything like a settled back line. You play offside trap you need that. And consistent offside rules.
  15. Hobsons Choice
    Media are loving the 'Villa found out by big teams angle'. F***ing hacks.
  16. Hobsons Choice
    Unfortunately that might be the decider. We needed the second goal. Hopefully Carlos's injury doesn't lead to the scoreline Mings's did.
  17. Hobsons Choice
    We'll get our chances. Keep the faith.
  18. Hobsons Choice
    Ah shit.

    Clinton Morrison is complimenting the Villa wtf is going on? Is down now up?
  20. Hobsons Choice
    Going to stick my neck out and say that there will be a controversial penalty or VAR decision in favour of Liverpool.
  21. Hobsons Choice
    Yes I was being a bit flippant. It would have the biases of those tasking it, i'm sure. I've added some more thoughts to the original post.
  22. Hobsons Choice
    I wish. AI would be impartial. Unless they just went on Chat GPT and asked 'Please create an refereeing algorithm that makes it possible for Man U to be top 5'. Without dodgy refs they'd finish 12th at best. Edit. In seriousness the stuff you mentioned seems to me to be an attempt to make refereeing more empirical. But that is a dumb move. Football can never be reffed like that. There is too much context involved. It's not like baseball or cricket where decisions are binary (in or out, strike or ball). And even in baseball the umpire has some leeway with the strike area. Empirical decision making doesn't make football refereeing more professional, it removes the ability of refs to act in the spirit of the game, and removes all of their responsibility for being competent. I say scrap it all. Go back to giving refs full responsibility for the game, and put all that effort into selection and training. I don't so much care if they make genuine mistakes, it has to be better than making 15 mistakes due to attempts to apply rigid formulas to one of the most complex (in terms of moving parts) games there is.
  23. Hobsons Choice
    Sorry I missed this one. Has to be the best post I've seen on here in ages.
  24. Hobsons Choice
    Flames. Subtle.
  25. Hobsons Choice
    Dyche would be the ideal manager for these lot. I mean a perfect fit.
