Hopefully also means the BBC stop wasting some of our licence payers money on him. Bad news... just when you think things couldn't get any worse, the BBC have replaced him with Troy Deeney. Idiots. The assumption is that the BBC want to keep it a laughing stock segment that generates clicks for being so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if thick white former footballer pundits aren't ten a penny. Jesus wept. Fair enough if they've now got extra security on at Greggs, but maybe find something better to do with your time.

MrBlack Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Just now, calcifer said: So, Watkins could score a perfect hattrick and wont get picked Trog Deeney, bloke has 2 brain cells and they both fight for 3rd place Whilst he is indeed a troglodyte, the BBC have gone to great lengths to suggest he won't ignore Watkins. They've given him a big chunk of the article and the clickbait link that took me to the article referenced Watkins in the title. I'm not sure he'll ignore him, and I can't imagine he'll be significantly worse than Garth, but I do wonder why the BBC throw the worst option at this feature. If they don't like it, just get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an eye test that makes me question their gender, but I've not seen any actual evidence that says they're not female. And the decision by the IOC to hide what the test was and showed makes me inclined to believe its not a reliable test.

And later on in her replies she asks for proof of the tests that show they're women. Burden of proof here is that they aren't, it's really disappointing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oishiiniku_uk Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 As expected, pretty much every media outlet's predictions have severely underestimated Villa's prospects for the coming season while hyping the usual suspects (Tottenham, Man Utd, Chelsea). I'm happy for us to prove them wrong again as we did when no one thought we'd finish seventh, or that we'd balance Europe and the league, or that we'd finish above the big six teams and get CL.

oishiiniku_uk Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 1 hour ago, VillaJ100 said: I think 6th this season will be a great result Sure, but why should Chelsea with their mess of a squad or Spurs, who have only added one guaranteed first 11 player and have Europe to contend with same as us, be a better bet for top four? I don't think there's much logic to the predictions, just big six familiarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Absolute nonsense, Mainoo is obviously decent and glides across the pitch well but even Bellingham is much closer to the style and effectiveness of Zidane. Mainoo never really plays in the advanced midfield positions either. Glad Villa don't have much more that Gabby to create embarrassment like this. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
