I saw Paul Robinson in the flesh, well Stefan Dennis obvs, at an under 18s disco in Brechin. He was there with Sonia, it was a good night.

I saw the bloke who played Alf Stewart in that curry house near Five Ways*

My mate's wife's sister played one of the Lucy Robinsons. I even met her at their wedding.

Was listening to an Argentinian football podcast today, bloke who presents it is a Villa fan, he said he was in Argentina just before the World Cup and was surprised at how popular Emi is, said he’s really well thought of by fans and pundits alike, he’s at the forefront of the team, behind only Messi.

The calls for him to join a so called bigger team will be loud and after tasting World Cup action regular Champions League football would be a natural progression.

He’s had a lot of knock backs before finally establishing himself as number 1 both domestically and internationally. Hopefully he’ll think that the grass isn’t always greener and he’ll stop where he’s settled but I’d be surprised but delighted if he’s with us next season.

I had a piss in Cilla Black's toilet once.


No innuendo intended there, it was just honest to goodness pissing.

They'll soon quieten down once we have João Félix on board.

A lot will depend on how Unai's first six months go. Does he like Unai's way of playing? We know they didn't have a brilliant relationship at Arsenal, but I suspect that's as much to do with him not playing under him as anything else, and that's been fixed here.

Despite everything this season, we are still only 3 points off a European place, so a decent unbeaten run and some good form (even for a month or two) could easily see us in the mix for European football come May.  Not the top four, obviously, but we could easily be looking at scraping into one of the others.

I'd hate to see him leave, but if he did, it would be for massive money.

Wouldn't surprise me if he went to Manure it has all the content of a story after his shithousery at the league game last season.  I think offers will start to come in, end of the season.

He's going nowhere. Loves it at the Villa, we got him his place as Argentina Number 1. And we're going places too..

Great shot stopper and presence but his constant time wasting antics concern me.

Is it because he loves the camera and being in the shop window!! Is it because he is uncomfortable using his feet and playing out from the back?

Naturally, would prefer him to stay but think he will have to get on the same wavelength as Unai or it could be curtains. Either way, we should be discreetly checking the market for a replacement as I have no confidence Emi is here for the long term.

Baldy that’s a shithousery of a post. You can do better than this.
Love Emi and all that comes with him and he’s ours forever.

Sorry Olaftab, I will try harder.

Footy-Ville is a bad influence on me.  :)
