I remember him playing at Fratton Park with Swansea years back, scoring to help knock them out and ssshing their fans. Lovely stuff.

They've also spent circa £400m in the last 5 seasons on players.

May as well give us the title now.

One of the worst defenders I've ever seen play for us and my word there's some competition. And we thought the B team conceded lots of goals last season...

Having a shocker v QPR today. He looks awful every time I see him play - avoid.

Given Galatasaray's performance in the Champions League qualifiers last night, I can't imagine he'll be in a rush to go back out there again to play. Was like watching some of our defending from last season.

There won't be, that's why there's so much outcry about it. Labour and the Lib Dems plan to vote against the proposal as it currently stands and there will be plenty enough of the old guard Tories who do too, so it's very unlikely to pass a commons vote in it's current form and be made in to law.

Is there any indication at all that we're going to play more than the 2 games currently announced? I know with travel restricted and a long season in 20/21 there seems to be less PSFs in general but 2 matches is hardly ideal prep for the new season, especially with the risk of them being postponed (as we've seen with others recently) a real threat given the current COVID case level in the UK.

Depressingly short of depth in some key areas. I'm sure we'll add one or two more but if it remains like that I'd be inclined to go with 3/5 at the back to negate the lack of quality in RM/LM positions. --------------------------------Forster------------------------------- ------------Bednarek--------Vestergaard-------Salisu--------------- ---KWP---------------------------------------------------Perraud--- ----------------Romeu-------JWP-------Armstrong----------------- -----------------------Ings------------Adams-----------------------

Which is never.

Sounds like the strategy they adopted for their recent manager search, except all of them apart from Nuno said no.

I presume we won't be staying at the Marriott in Swansea this time?

He really didn't have that good of a season. He turned up and looked decent against the 'big six' sides (surprise, surprise) but when it came to the crunch he was anonymous as usual. £5m and I'll give him a lift to wherever it is.

It's this basically and is as much as Martin Semmens said at the Fans' Forum. I think we were clearly 'picked' by Gao because he had connections to the city through Sunseeker but once he bought us (or not long after), it wasn't what the original investment was intended to be and he wanted out. Those running the club like Semmens and Co denied Gao wanted to sell for quite a long time up until recently but it's clear that has been the stance for a while.

Would prefer Neco over Brandon of the Williams's. Don't think I've ever seen Brandon have a good game.

Christ knows where Villa have got such a sense of delusion from. Smith-Rowe and JWP? 🤣

That's a pretty horrendous start for a team that never starts well anyway. I can't see us winning until late October. 1) Ground we never win (last win in 90 mins back in 1997) at with new manager bounce and fans back in 2) Team we concede against for fun 3) Ground we never win at (won 1 of last SEVENTEEN trips) 4) West Ham before their EL campaign kick-offs 5) Man City away Don't really need to go on. Hey, I may be pleasantly surprised....:)

We've got two hopes of signing Sabitzer and sadly Bob Hope is dead.

Kieran Maguire. He's a big football finance guy so I guess not surprising that he has some knowledge of the situation. He's very much towing the line that the club were at the fans forum - something is going on but they don't want the bidders' name in the public domain. Hopefully that's a good sign that they're serious backers and not trying to negotiate via the media like DeGrosa was.

Who exactly were you expecting?

Well it's common knowledge that Howe went for the job when we sacked Pardew so there's clearly interest there but I'd like to think we'd be setting our sights higher than him should Ralph go early next season (whether it's realistic for us to or not is another matter).

Another Southgate f*ck up. If he'd have just picked Tomori, who was exceptional for AC Milan towards the end of the season, rather than Mings who isn't even the best CB at Villa he wouldn't be in this situation. Hard to feel too much optimism about the Euros with a man who got relegated with Middlesbrough and failed with the Under 21s in charge.

Surely even Southgate can't make the same mistake twice and leave out JWP again.
