    Make your mind up, mate.

    Ooh - I love an exciting transfer window. Bring it on Nas, Wes and Steve - I'm getting the tingles.

    For the first part - he has the opportunity to show he's still got it and get a permanent move back to the PL/away from Barca. He'll have plenty of incentive to do well IMO and should have 2-3 more years at a top level. And for the second part - no reason this loan means we won't go for a DM as well - I'm certain we will.

    Spot on I think. It may be a gamble, but even if it doesn't work out, as another step in showing we can get big names here it could be invaluable. And it may well be that we have a longer term target in mind for Summer so this really would be just a stop gap. Big name, plenty of experience and hopefully a point to prove. I think it's exciting.

    That's a new name for it.

    Most worried about the defence holding out and not giving away a pen or switching off for a second. Need to a) not let them score early and b) keep the concentration right ot the final whistle. They've scored a ridiculous number of late goals and we always seem to have one mistake in us. IF we can start on the front foot, rather than being overwhelmed like against City, we can definitely trouble them on the counter.

    Would be amazing to get a point here, but as long as we put in a good performance - and start well in particular - I'll be happy. We're in a good place to chase down Brighton and Wolves now. They have Spurs/Man City next then play each other while we've got Norwich. Exciting times.

    I think your analysis of the rule is spot on. It's really badly phrased, but the intention is as you describe and why the goal was not given. Ironically, if JJ had been a split second later to the shot, I think it's likely that Schmeichel would have lost control of the ball from under his fingertips and the goal would have stood. As said though, it galvanised the crowd and team after the event, so in the end, no harm done.

    Was tempted to leave it at half time, but what a superb second half. Really had them rattled. We were worth a point today. Luiz excellent, Ollie back on form and starting to see Buendia make things happen though still sloppy at times. For all the chat about our midfield, I reckon if Sanson stays fit (big if I know) it's going to be tough choices who to play. He has some lovely touches. Feeling positive after that.

    Strong side. God I hope they finally click up front.

    Just got out of the pictures (ghostbusters - meh) What a good result against a real bogey team. Well in Gerrard and the lads. Don't things look a but rosier now.

    What a massive relief. 3 very welcome points and a clean sheet. Let's take that positivity in to the coming games. Welcome to the best club in the world Stevie.
  13. rubberman
    Smash them.
  14. rubberman
    Think that's probably the best side for now. New manager bounce time please.
  15. rubberman
    Can we please just not concede in the first 10 minutes. Thanks.

    Minimum 9 - have to be picking up a point a game, and if we can't do Brighton, Burnley and Norwich then we really are deep in the do-do. 11/12 would be par I reckon. 14+ and I'd be very happy with the way things were going.
  17. rubberman
    There's no limit!

    To have been supporting through an era with Villa fans as captain and manager is really unique in the modern era at this level (or at least highly unusual if there are stattos out there who know of others). We should look back on that as a truly fantastic time to be a Villa fan. Back to the more usual process certainly feels there is that extra something missing...but new adopted heroes will come along, whether that is from this bunch or the next.

    As long as we beat Liverpool by no less than 7-2, i'll be happy with this appointment.
  20. rubberman
    Welcome to the next run of hte Villa rollercoaster. Actually pretty excited by the potential. First 5 games are really tough though so hope everyone can stay positive while the team settles in. (Spoiler - they won't).
  21. rubberman
    I really don't think that's the perception from outside the club.
  22. rubberman
    Because they are still a basket case cmub likely to be relegated. We are just a bit lost currently.
  23. rubberman
    It's one of the things that makes me more confident in Gerrard. He is obviously happy to use a team (and they are happy to be led by him) even if he doesn't have the specific skillset they have. And from all accounts he has assembled a pretty good team. That's the sign of a good leader and manager.
  24. rubberman
    ...But this is a bit 3-2-1 levels of puzzle.
  25. rubberman
    Well, if nothing else, the Jan window (and probably summer) will be super exciting again as I'd expect SG to get a bit of backing for new players.
