Getting sloppy now.

Did Olsen just take the piss out of Cash’s bald spot

And we are on a Aston Villa forum, my point was more about people desperate to anoint spurs 4th place whilst getting outplayed by Everton  

We’ve been crap for weeks and Spurs have overtaken us. We’re still in the race but we’re going to have to significantly improve to get back to 4th and maintain it. 

Poor DCL, they’ve taken his goal off him and awarded it to Harrison.

Spurs's luck needs to run out eventually

It did, they got a load of injuries and really faltered, they’re coming out of the other side. We’re still in our slump but hopefully will get stronger again.

I love McCoist and dislike Ange.

Spurs have had 2 proper attacks and scored 2 goals. 

Frustrating. Everton have been the better side. 

Everton finishing is abysmal.

This is the speed and intensity we need to start at later.

Spurs are looking miles better than us at the moment.

I actually think Konsa could generate a bit of interest this summer but I would be absolutely gutted to let him go.

Why is that a screenshot from a note on an iOS device? If they were posting something why not post it on the platform directly? Bit weird. 

It’s not uncommon when people have a lot to say that they screenshot a note rather than do multiple short tweets.

Surprised so many tickets are still available. 

Morgan Rogers might get on the pitch for us sooner than expected.

Sounds like with the FA negotiations on going and being the cause of the reveal delay, I suspect it will be going to a vote.

I don’t think it will go to a vote. I think if they can evidence that they have been monitoring the social media responses to the leaked badge and they can satisfy that I they are mainly favourable, I think they will just go with it. I think it makes sense of the leaks.

Well, it's improving slightly. 

Lerner's badge - 1/10

Purslow's voted badge - 7/10

Heck's badge - 2/10

Heck's forced v2 badge - 4/10

 

 

I much prefer this to the round.

Now we're no longer unbeaten in our fortress, can we risk knocking down the North stand? Or is it still the 200 empty single seats that noone previously knew existed that make it non-viable?

I’ve been thinking that club would have been idiots to have cancelled the stadium redevelopment based on us wanting us to have a good atmosphere in the CL only for us to miss out on said CL a few months later.

Can anyone confirm if Pau Torres will be fit or should I start an online order for 'drowning the sorrows' beer?

Even if he’s not injured anymore, he’s barely played since early December so I can’t see him featuring much.

I don’t begrudge him keeping hold of his PL wages in the short term but surely the smarter move long term is to put yourself in the shop window with a view to securing your next long term contract, even if that means Championship wages for 6 months. If he’d have gone to Hull or Baggies, there’s promotion potential and possibility of a permanent contract (also why I’m surprised we were insisting on no loan).

He obviously has his reasons and I don’t like it when fans expect players just to leave their contracts but seems a big short sighted. I don’t know when his contract is up but I’d be surprised if he’s still here come the end of the summer window.

Hmmm, maybe.  I think the strategy is to buy these youngsters and hopefully one turns into a first team star but with the knowledge most will be profit generators.  Even then, like Grealish, they could then be sold.  So I kind of agree with you but not the clear cut clinical buy then sell.  They will develop in the aim of first team football because not only does that increase their resell value but cheaper developing a star than purchasing a star.  I also think Rogers has been brought to be a first teamer over the coming 18 months, from all reports they have real believe in his potential.

Yeah I think the hope is there they can make it but given the end of the table we want to continue competing at we would be extremely fortunate if they all made it to the level we need. I think they are sensible low risk signing tho and I like that.

I think every single purchase we’ve made this window has been made with a future sale in mind. I’m not convinced any of them will become first team regular starters but if their development is right should net us some profit in the future. 
 

Still looking forward to seeing Gauci and Rogers though.

"his sir-name"

I was going to just  ask how is name was pronounced and knew I’d get comedians saying Joe so thought I’d avoided the lame jokes by specifying surname

How is his surname pronounced?

There’s been so many updates on this transfer I feel like we signed him about 3 years ago.

Oh wow, I thought it was still a mega popular place 

It is on match days but quiet outside of that. Shame. Iconic place. Had a Christmas do there once, lovely food.

Might turn more people towards the Lower Grounds.

Tottenham are the team we are up against now, media saying they will be top 4  all day long, no mention of us......................again.

Well we need to prove them wrong but I’m not convinced we will which is annoying.
