Premier League season 21/22. What the media are saying on Villa
« on: September 21, 2020, 01:17:03 PM »
Our first game is upon us!
This thread here is to give comment, discussion and debate to what is being said about us the mighty Aston Villa this season.

For me I think we'll surprise a few people and receive plenty of positive noise . At this moment as we haven't kicked off yet the comments on Aston Villa seem to suggest we'll be battling relegation again.


Gary Neville
"I’m going to say West Brom and Fulham [for relegation],” says Neville. “And I’m also going to say Villa, because I said it a couple of weeks ago, even though I don’t want them to. I just think they’re going to struggle"

Robbie Savage
Says Aston Villa will finish 18th and be relegated

I'd say Newcastle and West Ham have more to worry about than we do.

He did a piece suggesting Leeds would be bottom, maybe relegated,  but hedge bets saying although probably finish mid table !
Then suggested Villa as the third team with Fulham And WBA

Gary Neville can suck my balls, Robbie Savage would if the price was right, and Michael Owen is a successful limited example of AI, based around a ZX Spectrum.

I'm not sure he's had the upgrade from ZX81.

Lineker said this earlier in week

"Punditry’s immensely competitive. If you go into TV punditry now you can’t be lazy, or clichéd because you won’t last.
You’ve really got to work at it. Go back 10 or 20 years and you could come into TV and blag it. Not now.”

Talk about a lack of self awareness.

Ha, you can't be lazy or clichéd in punditry anymore so its a good thing Lawro and Owen have something fresh to say.

On BBC radio 5 live:
Chris Sutton : Dele Ali needs to prove himself all over again and it doesn't look like he'll do it at Spurs with Mourinho
I can't believe he's being linked with the likes of PSG
Mark Chapman : where will he go in the premier league
Sutton: Aston Villa ? (Can hear 'chappers' containing himself  being amused at the thought!  Don't know why so)
Sutton continues "I don't know....He's shown so much promise actually needs to find a club where he'll get regular playing time."

Sutton basically went on to say the clubs competing at top end wouldn't be wanting him.
Seems to think Villa would be a good fit.

Interesting to hear Sutton . one of the better pundits , who will give forthcoming views and honesty . EX professional seems spot on how he sees where Villa are currently which I think is fair assessment to where Dele and Villa are at this time.

Mark Chapman. Doesn't really get football a lot of time.
Pretty low level insight and not much clue outside of the top 4.

Sutton is categorically not one of the better pundits. In fact I'd say he was one of the bigger bell ends on the circuit and it's a difficult crowd to stand out in.

yeah, it's a crowded market for bell ends, but Sutton stands out like a turd in a punchbowl

I like both Sutton and 'Chappers'. Sutton brings a kind of post-modernism vibe to the job; everything is laced with irony and we have to think about the meaning of 'meaning'. Very Roland Barthes/Jacques Derrida.
