Let’s hope this new villa model continues to be different.
On Facebook the Tanzanians are all wishing triple relegations on us for the mistreatment of their hero & someone responded that they ‘couldn’t give a monkeys’ what the Tanzanians thought.It has apparently gone through google translates as something along the lines of ‘Your mother is a monkey’ & there was quite the tiff about racism for a moment!

The Cahill one was strange even at the time. I think most were in agreement that he was someone we should be holding on to, maybe even starting, but O'Neill obviously saw it differently.I remember rumours about wanting first team football. If that's the reason he left, he should have been given it.

We had a lot of centre halves coming and going then, Lauren had to retire through injury and I think Davies suffered a bad injury which MON took as a sign to bring in both Dunne and Collins. He gave up on Shorey very quickly after signing him too. Lack of oversight on our transfer business was our biggest failing then. It has continued into more recent times, both Bruce and Smith have a fascination with right backs. Failing to recognise the opposite flank as requiring improvement as a priority.
Inevitably he scored for Fenerbache todayhttps://twitter.com/benardandrew1/status/1312428089897611273?s=21
