Premier League season 21/22. What the media are saying on Villa

[edgysatsuma89]

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.

Ha, yeah, I reckon Sutton might tell you that Barthes was a poor goal keeper for Man Utd standards as well as his general distrust of theories.

[Footy-Vill]

Chappers was clear with what the FIFA handball rules are and stated them clearly on MOTD2
Including saying how FIFA want football to have uniformity across the footballing world leagues and competition.

Jermaine Jenas response was "why does the premier league have to fall in line ?"

That sums up the premier league attitude.
The irony it came from Jenas who once claimed "being at Newacstle Utd was like a goldfish bowl"

His dismissive and quite arrogant response to Chappers explaining the hand ball rule and giving due reason said it all.

Because he also said "we know we have to adapt our game when we play in European competition"

Therein lies the point . Shouldn't have to adapt because of a difference in footballing rules . It should be the same all over.

Yeah, but 'Chappers' is a complete ******.

Roy Keane: "Fulham are making Aston Villa look like Bayern Munich"

Roy Keane: "Fulham are making Aston Villa look like Bayern Munich"

Which is Ironic, as Bayern got spanked yesterday...

[dave shelley]

Personally I don't give a fiddler's fuck what Roy Keane thinks, yesterday's man that had his chance here and contributed zilch.

[nigel]

Have to admit I’m warming to Micah.

Well said Dave. I don't like any of them. All hindsight experts.

Roy Keane :" I think Villa will be in the bottom half, but I don’t think they’ll be in a relegation dogfight. I think they have enough quality going forward, and I think they’ve got a proper poacher, a goalscorer, I think they’ll be fine "

Keane is a first rate cnut but to be fair, the quote is probably spot on

[Sexual Ealing]

Have to admit I’m warming to Micah.

He comes across as a very decent bloke.

Michelle  Owen:
"The work that Dean Smith and his coaches did during lockdown with the players has carried through to this season. Four games in all comps, Four wins, Three clean sheets, 10 goals scored, just one conceded"

Michelle Owen is a Villa fan so we can expect her to say nice things.

[Villa Lew]

The Bookies are saying we're no longer favourites to go down, they have Fulham, Albion, Sheff Utd, Burnley, Newcastle and West Ham ahead of us, we're now 4-1 for the drop.

Gabby Agbonlahor:
"Isn’t it great when a manager can buy his own players not a sporting director called Suso playing football manager"

So true Gabby. And I would say
We can really see this window Deano bringing in Dean Smith type players. They fit the profile and how Dean wants to play.
I even think JT has had some influence in bringing in Traore.

In fairness smith said he had agreed  with all of Suso signings And worked well with him,

Which he probably didn’t have to say

Yeah comes across as a genuine bloke and gets points for ignoring the shite that Roy Keane spouts out (and he doesn’t have a bad word to say about us)
