We’ve weakened our weakest area? For fuck’s sake.

I would imagine that this bid didn't go in at half-past four this afternoon, but then again with Bruce...

Attacking-wise, on paper at least, we look best in the division but I’m confused as to the gameplan defensively. Bizarre to let Elpnick leave.

Fair point. Probably should ship Taylor out as left backs are overrated

Blitzing the dining room with Pledge while listening to my oldies pop CD earlier this afternoon, I found myself singing along with ‘Tammy’ by Debbie Reynolds.

Clearly an omen.

It was followed by ‘Chain Of Fools’ by Aretha, so I’m hoping that wasn’t another comment on the Villa.

I'm just glad you weren't polishing to Maxine Nightingale's 70s classic 'Right Back Where We Started From'.

I won’t mention my air guitar to, ‘The Road To Hell’, then.

I guess he'll give Bree his head if needed and/or play others out of position. Should that fail maybe he can convince his son to help out.

Jordan Lyden off to Oldham until January.

His biggest fan, Rudy, will be gutted.

Have we? I would imagine the new Dutch kid will play there and with Abraham signing it’s made for Kodjia to raid down the left wing.

So we're now left with one recognised cb! (I've no idea where Axel is best suited). How does Bruce even get to manage a football club?

Play midfielder at centre half. Centre half allowed to leave. Don’t replace centre half.

I must be missing something as I just don’t get it.
