  1. It was funny to watch but what a bloody stupid thing to do. Zero respect for the fans that cheered him or the club that paid him tens of millions in wages
  2. I'd be trying to shag my wife. But I have Jack on the TV and Fulham teaching the poor neighbours a lesson on my laptop
  3. Yeah, it is good for him to lose his Champions League virginity against a weaker team, he won't be as nervous when he has to perform against a hot team
  4. Playing very well and does not look out of place, we couldn't offer him this opportunity and we got 100m. Win Win
  5. Fulham fans singing "Your just a shit Aston Villa" to the Blues
  6. The upgrading captain doesn''t really bother me too much to be honest, it doesn't exactly mean too much at a club imo. I wouldn't like losing his leadership skills on the pitch but these are secondary to footballing skills to me but a replacement would need to be a vocal leader type person and not a quiet get on with the job type person
  7. I would say that there is a direct relationship between money spent on a defender and a reduction in the amount of mistakes made. Yes there will always be some exceptions but the better players make fewer mistakes and these players tend to cost more money.
  8. Wes is starting on the bench against PSG this evening
  9. Exactly and that is why we need to upgrade Mings and get someone that makes fewer mistakes so we can push on for a European qualification
  10. Jack will probably make his Champions League debut tonight. A big night for him and I know a lot of people won't share my view but I wish him well and hope he has a good game and I would like to see him score.
  11. If being okay means avoiding relegation I believe we are at zero risk of relegation, even if we have a few key injuries. We have more strength in depth in the squad that I can remember for a very very long time, if not ever. There are 3 worse teams than Villa this season and I am not considering relegation. I am more concerned about our ability to finish in the top half and if we can push for 7th in the league.
  12. Even with the errors I think we will be fine. We have a good squad and can score goals and are going to finish midtable at worst. If we cut out the errors then we can push for a top half finish and with a little luck we could pinch a Europa spot
  13. It sounds the kind of thing that Danks may be looking at
  14. That sounds like something the coaches should be addressing
  15. Every manager in the PL is under pressure to get results. If the results don't come, then regardless of performances the manager / head coach is likely to be sacked. It doesn't matter whether that is Pep, Dean or any other manager. CP and the club will have a level of points that Dean must get, if he gets those points he is safe, if he doesn't get them he will be sacked. If we are in the bottom 3 at Xmas I expect he will be sacked. The earliest he would be sacked I would say would be after about 12 games and we would need a really horrendous run of results for that to happen/ I don't expect our results to be that bad and as such I don't expect Dean to be sacked but there is nothing wrong with discussing it and assessing the performances and results and speculating as to a potential sacking or otherwise
  16. Wes is due to play against PSG this evening but unfortunately he is doubtful with a knee injury. I would love to see him play and do well
  17. He is out for an unspecified time but it is said it will be a number of weeks
  18. Well the likelihood is that it won't be the same team, I expect they will have 11 players playing against us for the full 90mins as opposed to just for 35 mins
  19. I agree completely. But isn't the plan for us to move into competing for European positions. To do that I think we need to improve our overall quality and particularly at the back. And due to Mings age and length of time at Villa it would make most financial sense to sell him next summer. We need him with us this season but to move up I think we need better.
  20. Yep, need to hope Arteta keeps his job for a little longer
  21. Everton W Man Utd L Spurs D Wolves W Arsenal W 10 points, but Spurs is a tricky draw so it could be 9
