Aston Villa U23s, Academy & Ladies - 2016/17

[Dante Lavelli]

It's also a bit dodgy, they go back over 30 years and give Arsenal Keown but ignore Walters, Daley etc for us.

That's science for you...

The U23s lost 2-1 this afternoon at Bodymoor against Swansea.  Gabby played for around an hour before being replaced by Rushian.  Keinan Davies scored our goal.

Gabby looking a bit out of shape (shock) from the alleged picture of him on twitter.

I have a feeling he might be on the bench Sunday.

Nah...not till he can last 90 in the stiffs!

He wouldn't need to play 90.  The fact that he's there and could come on might be enough of a psychological factor.  And, with the game 1 - 1 at 80 minutes and him warming up to come on....who knows?

[GordonCowansisthegreatest]

Would be interesting;-)

Generic term for any reserve side.

Not very nice when talking about your own. Just my opinion

[PeterWithesShin]

Reserve sides have been called the stiffs for decades.

[Witton Warrior]

Reserve sides have been called the stiffs for decades.

Always been a term of endearment.
Aka "the crocks"...

Giving my age away:-)

I've honestly never noticed before

And as far as I'm aware nobody has any idea where it came from or why.
