  1. Yeah, and honestly I think penalties are given way too easily these days. I don't enjoy matches with loads of pens
  2. Ach, all our crosses seem about 3 feet behind the runners in the box.
  3. It was all technically correct, but horribly soulless and they don't really deserve to be behind. We've looked very ponderous going forward. Players isolated, chasing long balls, not much movement. There's no pace at all.
  4. That sequence was very harsh on Haiti. I feel quite embarrassed to be leading now.
  5. Good luck Marv! Good honest pro who'll have a good career I'm sure.
  6. I was pretty complimentary about this guy earlier in the window, but as each day passes it becomes clearer that he could actually win a tw*t-off with Mbappe.
  7. And ultimately us, too. Warm waters off the US can re-energise recurring storms heading into the Atlantic after they have headed up the US coast.
  8. Ooooooh yeah! This window just got real(er). This is an excellent signing, We are going to absolutely muller some teams next year. ITSOTP, but assuming it's done....Big Welcome!!
  9. No other bastard teams worry about FFP. It's a joke of a joke. Or at the very least a meme of a joke.
  10. To be fair, 49 goals and 48 assists in 4 appearances is pretty good. That's over 12 goals per game.
  11. Well I started following Villa in 94, so I missed the early one, but I didn't pick up on the 99/00 incident. I will have to go and investigate that, so thanks. The only caveat I would use is that we were under Doug (bicycle kick) Ellis at the time, and he was never really known for his drive for professionalism.
  12. Oh, i'm not embarrassed, and it's not the end of the world, but it doesn't give off the air of professionalism that we all suspect we've been trying to achieve.
  13. In fairness, this is the think that's been most noticeably missing since his appointment. I've never known two badges, two representations of the club, to be used simultaneously in my lifetime supporting Villa.
  14. I seem to remember it did to some degree. Asked about history vs modern etc. Asked about the star.
  15. The know inflation is still >8%, right? Prices are still rising, but slightly less fast. Costs are still rising by more than (aside from this year) they have since 1982. Either they are idiots, or they know their readership are idiots.
  16. Unsurprisingly autocorrect just spat it's tea out as I was trying to write that.
  17. Not sure if he's in UE's plans, but personally whenever I've seen him he's never not looked quality.
  18. Not about the money, though. If the Saudi league ends up being perceived as a retirement league for players, like the MLS he'll struggle to get a move to a credible European league, and NO ONE will be able to afford the ludicrously inflated wages, so he'll stagnate in a league where aside from maybe 4 teams, the standard will be like the Championship or League One. In short, it's not good for his career. Money or no money.
  19. You can spend billions on players, but you can't buy heritage, and you can't buy credibility.
