Almost Gareth.  Some days he wears his Steve Bull shirt some days he wears his Jeff Astle shirt.

Lol

My local paper this morning is full of praise for Villa, describing Grealish and Green as "outstanding talents" and RH-M as "Sterling like".  Ipswich could only squeak a draw with Cambridge so there is line of form there.

If RHM is "Sterling-like" we should offload him to Walsall now.

Yes, before the value of Sterling drops even more.

I am starting to get a bit of a sick feeling again though. 

there's something odd about Director switcheroo

Tony is at best naive with his Twitter posts.

Gana is off.

Ayew links still not going away.  I just hope Tony is true to his word with that.

Less than 10 days before we kick off and most if not all of the complete wasters are still here.

And over a month until the transfer window closes. And there was a major tournament in the summer.

Exactly. I think people should stop acting like big girl's blouses.

The last person to accuse me of being a big girls blouse got a cupful of piping hot lavender tea in their face.

Yet another blot on this once wonderful club. Shut the fuck up Tony , talks cheap, beer costs money!!

You'd know what is fucking embarrassing, finishing bottom on 17 points when your name is Aston Villa.

That's the sort of thing somebody should feel embarrassed by, not shite on social media. Perspective.
I did say another.

Being reported that Chris Samuelson is no longer a director, and Tracy Gu has replaced him on the board.
At least she has a really Brummie sounding name.

People keep saying this.  How many times in the past have we lamented that new players have not had time to settle in?

We will have played 5 games by the time the window closes.  Then how long for new players to properly bed in?  Realistically, we could be looking at a third or half the season before the team is settled.

Fucking great.  But at least you're not a girls blouse eh?

I disagree, why should we skirt round the issue?
