Some players have no problems putting a decent cross in from a dead ball. Some fail to beat the first man, more often than not. It just makes me wonder, why? I should point out, these are the same players that play a 50 yard pass right to the feet of their team mates. But I guess it must be a combination of factors.

It wouldn't surprise me if he turns out to be quite good at it. He at least seems to have some personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted July 21, 2019 Moderator Share Posted July 21, 2019 Oliver Holt. What happened to him? I used to love reading his work, I always liked him on Sunday Supplement and considered him to be measured and knowledgeable. The last couple of years though he seems to have become a bitter, patronising arse and some of the stuff he puts out is absolute garbage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 2 absolute moronic comments of talksport transfer zone just now Talking about free agents they mentioned sturridge, balotelli, Ben arfa, cahill, welbeck and a few more and why no one has picked them up, Darren Lewis (chief sports writer for the mirror) "I think they will drop their wage demands in the last 48/24 hours of the transfer window to find a club" Free agents Darren. They can join a club at any time Ray Houghton starts talking about sturridge and welbeck "the thing is with goalscorers, they are the difference between winning 1-0 and drawing 0-0" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very bitter about wages these days. So takes it out on every player every match, slates everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Just checking. This new Athletic website that all the writers have gone to. For some reason they've hired Gregg Evans as a Villa writer. Isn't he a Representative for Wellingborough Wolves fan who cried all January Tammy was leaving? What a shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I'm not sure what the athletic is I just know they were making a lot of noise on twitter and they charge you to read the content (£30 a year I think) not seen too much click bait nonsense from them yet but there's no way I'm paying for content, too much available for free and no confidence they will be any good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
