Another Ron stat from the world cup (saw it on SSN but can't find it now) he was the tournaments fourth fastest player clocked at 20.5 mph.
No idea over what distance or how it's measured.

The three faster were all Robben from upright to turf but, of course, they were gravity assisted.
Whereas Ron just pours it on.

It's nice for fans of Aston Villa that for once we can read in the media about one of our players being spoken of in glowing terms.

I'm glad he was slow to the ball as Ramires came through

Looked like a nice bit of afters that.

You think about the impact he could have on all the youngsters . If we can keep him it could be a really good thing for us. I even put Roy Keane into a similar bracket, he's got a suitcase full of medals and that commands respect even if he is a psycho.

He'll need a couple of weeks to take a holiday with his family and regroup. He's done the club proud.

I would think he would not be back until end of July. He is not exactly going to get out of shape in that time considering the level he is at right now having played on Saturday night.

Give him 45 mins v Parma and then he should be ready for Stoke.

I see 'Arry is ready with a £4M bid - a bit derisory don't you think? Villa need to tie-up a longer deal with Ron asap, but, as usual, the club seem to be dragging their feet - same goes for Delph.

He won't got to QPR. What would be the point of leaving us for them?

As for the contract, he's unlikely to stay beyond his contract, so why tell the world about it? Just let it run and, obviously behind closed doors, try and get him to sign.

maybe I missed something and we have been relegated? I know it felt that way at times, but maybe we are having a fire sale and everything is going cheap. The nonsense in the media is astonishing at times.

New deals for Vlaar, Delph and Gabby should've been sorted at the end of last season, which was 2 months ago.

But Vlaar is good enough to play for someone better than us. That's clear to all. Why bring it out in the media that he doesn't want to sign?

Exactly, we don't need anymore negative vibes coming out of Villa Park, we have more than enough negativity around the place as it is!
