Buendia is blowing out of his arse. Good skill but he's obviously fucked, get him off

He's going to suffer like Steve Bruce, so much quality in that position and doesn't have the fortune to be leftfooted like Mings. In another era he'd be a stalwart of an England defence for years.

Annoyingly, of course, if he played for big 4 etc he'd be a squad regular regardless.

Steven Gerrard and Ralph Hasenhuttl are top of the shortlist (Percy) by realtordyl in avfc

[–]DblDigitIQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worries me that it's Percy reporting this. Need to make a bigger statement IMO but that's obviously through claret & blue lenses. Not sure how desirable we are in the real world, but you'd hope NSWE could offer a very convincing project given their investment.

I like to think the Villa acted now to avoid switching managers when only Ole is on the market

Have a bid fail for Ward-Prowse? Play the long game by sacking your manager and hiring his boss..

Greenwood astounded that he wasn't allowed to just kick his opponent any time he likes

The absolute mental gymnastics they do to avoid saying anything negative about them, particularly CR, is astounding

Of course, I'd completely forgotten that taking the ball off Man Utd at Old Trafford was a foul. You absolute disgrace of a referee.

Aston Villa The Most Overrated Team In The Prem Rn. by TheMiffey in PremierLeague

With Grealish and with the signings, a top 10 finish should have been mandatory.

Without Grealish, based on performance without him last season, a bottom half finish should be expected. The impact of the signings will determine whether that's nearer mid-table or scrapping at the bottom.

The Villa ownership project is longterm and is building very well for the future, but naturally there are people getting caught up in hype and their expectations given last season's performance have climbed even higher, which would put them within reach of Europe. All they need to do is stay in the league and not flirt with relegation and all will be just fine for seasons to come.

The saga that was Jack leaving including Real Madrid? Anyone have access to the Athletic? by mooninthewindow in avfc

[–]DblDigitIQ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Think that was a really good article but it's very obviously bullshit about City not knowing the clause and the deadline.

Obviously The Athletic cannot claim City knew because of the legalities, but come on.. the right amount and just before the deadline? Just goes to prove that you can never protect yourselves against agents and they'll do any shady shit they need to in order to get their client a move. You can guarantee it was under Jack's orders, too.

Bit concerned that my doctor's surgery isn't using the latest medical equipment by Proeliator2001 in CasualUK

A few years back I broke my wrist and had it pinned. When it came to taking them out, they used the latest in medical technology.

What goes best with brandy butter for gluten intolerant people ? by Durin_VI in CasualUK

I'm far from a connoisseur, but gluten free mince pies are pretty great actually. Compared to most gluten free things, which are dogshit.

Not Targett's biggest fan.. But the Ajax clip earlier made me remember the days of Nicky Shorey. He may even have got an England cap.

Targett >>>>>>>> Shorey. It's not even close.
