Aston Villa 2-1 Excellent Ipswich Town Post Match Thread

[UK Redsox]

I don't agree that Jack is our best player. If I was asked which players I would most like to keep, Tammy and McGinn would be ahead of Jack.

Now I know you're on a wind up.

Villa75 is right about Tammy but not McGinn.

I'm not Jack's biggest fan but he's better than McGinn

[olaftab]

Different players really. We need both Jack and John in the team and build a team around them.

Were Ipswich excellent?

According to Alan Brazil!

See the Villa fan arrested with the knife has apologized. Seems genuine enough and he says he accepts all the consequences. Now off course he said he was never going to use which got my scepticism needle going given he was picked up doing coke in a bathroom stall. One can only assume the knife was at hand should things have gone wrong or had any met other unsavoury characters given those types of activities. He said it was a work tool...

I expect he’ll be getting a length Villa Park ban outside of whatever the legal ramifications are.

I have a feeling that I might have seen this chap and his friend being dealt with by the police on Witton Lane. I was practically the last person to leave the Holte. One of them (the fellas, not the police) was in tears, seemingly experiencing a sudden rush of the realisation that he'd been a berk. They were pinned up against the fence. They looked like kids, maybe 18 at a push.

Obviously it could easily not have been them.

Here ends my pointless post.

Thank you SE. I feel not so alone now.

It has always been about us, Olaftab.

You are entitled to your opinion but that’s all it is.

It’s a crap opinion. Actually it’s fucking nonsense. That’s my opinion.

It's also changed quite considerably since last week when he wanted to send Tammy back.

I can want him sent back, as the owners have indicated that promotion is not expected or required this season - to give our own players a chance - and still know he's a better player than Grealish.

Anyone above average intelligence would have worked that out, without it having to be pointed out to them.

Tammy has been immense this season. His goals have made the difference in keeping us mid table. But, as we're nowhere near the top 2, we're not going down with the points he's already earned us, and we've zero chance of keeping him, why not start building for the future now?

If we're talking about all things being equal, I would rather have Tammy long term than Jack. Same goes for McGinn for me. Much more consistent and valuable to the team, long term, than the inconsistent Jack.

I'm not sure why anybody would abandon a season at a point where we're 4 off the Play Offs, with 6th to come to Villa Park, our better players to come back and a chance to strengthen.

It seems to me like we have a good chance of finishing in the top 6 and only a fool would want to send the best forward in the league back.

[Clampy]

A fan saying they would send the top scorer in the league back is not to be taken seriously.

Calling Jack inconsistent sums up, for me, why you've posted so much rubbish in the last couple of weeks. If you can't see the difference that Jack makes after this period without him or the difference he made to us last season when he came back from injury then you may as well be watching a different game. Tammy is good, he scores goals, McGinn is easy to admire because he works he tits off, Jack makes everyone around him better at their game, that's why Tottenham wanted him last summer and it's why someone will offer £35-40m this summer, he's not just the best player at the club, he's the best player in the league.

With owners going all out for promotion, and a manager getting better results, I wouldn't have to be even considering it.

As it is, the owners have made it clear they're planning long term, the manager's struggling to get a constant tune out of what he has, and we're 10th having played one more game than some teams above and below us. We're not going up, with things as they are - Jack or no Jack - and keeping Tammy is no more than cock waving without any real purpose.

I keep hearing about how we're doing things a different way, but I'm yet to see any evidence of it.

Back to the main point. Tammy is the best player at the club but, he's not, and is never going to be ours.

I think you would be hard pressed to find anybody, on any forum, since the internet was invented, that has chatted as much nonsense as you have over the past couple of weeks.
