Garth Crooks team of the year

Hi Footy; Do you think Our Garth is going for the statistical best, like Jack, or that he just likes Mings? As we do, of course! 😊

MOTD very complimentary to Villa with their "players to watch in 2021" tonight. Martinez, Matt Cash, Doug and Jacob Ramsay all featured.

Yes, I’ve just watched that, Not3bad, it was very refreshing! Hope the respective players feel that way, as well.

Yes, in a two or three minute slot practically all the talk was about young Villa players. We're making a move, we're making it now...

They have Liverpool losing only two games all season... both against us.

I would be pretty seething if we lost the league to them by three points and not one other team bothered their arses beating them! 😄

Kinda how Ipswich must have felt in '81 !

I know it was over 10 years ago, and the media is now more intense, but we seem to be taken more seriously already than we were under O’Neill, and it’s down to the style.

With the news the first game of the season against City has been re-scheduled for Jan 20th, we are really going to see where this team is at over the next 31 days - 6 PL games against many of the big boys, plus an FA Cup date with Liverpool. I think 10 points will be a fantastic return in January given our squad size/depth and the need for some rotation - will keep us on track for a top half finish.

But this is what we all wanted  - beats Rotherham, Burton, and QPR any time!!!!

That and hammering Liverpool and Arsenal and beating Leicester too. We're credible now and can match any team in the league. We've the youngest squad in the division too.

Going places we are.

Just listened to today’s Guardian Football Weekly. A bigger bunch of condescending ****** you will not hear especially some no name Arsenal fan called Jordan. Dean Smith is only doing an ok job. One of the questions asked of him was along the lines of if your house was on fire and inside was Dean Smith and a stick of butter what would you save. That while we have some good players basically Villa are lucky to be in the PL and should have gone down but for a scandalous decision (assume Sheff Utd). But it was more the stuff about Dean Smith that made my blood boil. And this wanker Jordan made out that Villa fans are needy because he’s being challenged on his hate of Villa.

Oh and right after in previewing the Spurs vs Leeds game - all games Leeds play are great. Of course they are. Tossers

That prick has had it in for him from the off, when we beat them the others on there were ripping him about it. It's 100% percieved bias against Brummies, and the idea that we could be intelligent enough to compete with others.

[Risso]

He must really fucking hate Arteta then!

So new year new hopes wishes to you louzi

So It seems that the perception of Mings is mainly highly regarded outside of Villa circles. How he's progressed his career at villa and became a recognised full England international.
And as you say how highly regarded we all see him at Villa.

Haven't looked stats wise from Jan to Dec but I can imagine he's high up for tackles, clearances, blocks, interceptions.

Jose Mourinho has just said that Aston Villa are his favourite team in the Premier League

Thing is he’s embarrassed himself now. He started with a view that’s been proven to be wrong and just dug his heels in. He sounds more like a fan talking on a message board, rather a professional journalist.

Hopefully he won't feel like that in a couple of week's time!

I am quite honoured  that Jordan the Arsenal fan has taken the time to give a toss about us. Given the state of his club I would have thought he would be too busy worrying about 'The Arse'.
