Oh I not s familiar with his play so can't totally suggest what his strengths are but research has said he can play with his feet as well as what he himself has mentioned.

“he can play with his feet as well”.
That’s the type of innuendo we want mor of on this thread.


He’s lucky to be able to reach them.

Of course it raises the question who will be in nets for the first leg against Olympicao: Olsen or Gaucci? I suspect Olsen but Gaucci has to be ready.

Nigel Spink came on for Jimmy Rimmer and that was his debut!

Wasn’t his debut.

Oh I thought it was his debut but it was before my time so I'm not going to be totally accurate on that one.
But yes Ten minutes into the 1982 final against Bayern Munich, Villa's first choice goalkeeper, Jimmy Rimmer, was injured and substitute keeper Spink was called into action, having only made one previous appearance in the first team!!
That's still some achievement!

Emi is in our eyes the ‘Worlds number 1’ and officialdom backs this up, have we ever had a Worlds best in a position before?

Possibly Paul McGrath, but I can’t think of another, therefore is Emi in the conversation for greatest Villa player of all time?

His debut was at Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day 1979. Admittedly his only game until 26th May 1982.

The poster who mentioned Sid James has wittingly or unwittingly turned the attention from a poster or posters who is/are wittingly or unwittingly attempting to apply his/her/their own moral standards to the rest of us. I am confident that the mods will step in to adjudicate or clarify when necessary, be it to prevent abuse or 'pile-ons' or to confirm that posts, albeit a tad ribald*, are acceptable or not.

*I don't see how a simple mention of 'Pornhub' or 'Babestation' can be construed as such.
Look at the posts over a period of time and you'll see the pattern.  Instant responses, primarily mocking, rarely funny.  Mike isn't the only one to have spotted it and it's been discussed before.
I disagree. When they post about the Villa they are often complimented on their posts and proper discussion ensues. When they start whining about innuendo, telling people how to post (I have been reprimanded myself for this) or thrusting religion-based morality down our throats then they get a response from other posters.

I was never a big prog rock fan. Was that on Nursery Cryme?

I liked the one with the boat and all the horny animals.

I know naff all about religion, where was the destination point for this swingers cruise? As a kid I saw drawings of them going in but I don't recall seeing them get off. Are they still out there?

I think the whole idea of them going on the boat was so they'd get off at some point, multiple times probably.

Highly offensive. And disrespectful some of these posts.

Why don't we focus on the fact Martinez has prevented XG of the most on the league at 5.
That of course is the best by any keeper.

8 clean sheets this season in 32 matches
And no goalkeeper who has played 30+ Prem matches this season has conceded fewer that Martinez.

I'm not sure xG will get people on side but yes, I did see that stat and I wasn't surprised by it, either. He is after all the World's Number 1. We've also conceded more chances than I'd like since the turn of the year.
