I think SJM might well have surpassed Gareth Barry last season in that best Villa team of last 25-30 years debate. Two lads well able to use their ass to shield the ball! It's a close call but SJM showed great versatility and quality last season to get us into the CL.

Interesting to hear Richards talk about Barry on the MOTD Golden Boot episode. Reckoned Barry liked the bevvy and was last to leave the bar,, but first into training without it affecting him.

Apparently that was a factor in Fergie keeping Robson of the three boozers, alongside McGrath and Whiteside. His ability to sink prodigious amounts of beer and still be at the front in all training exercises the following day was legendary - amongst those that give a shit about Manyoo.

Robson used to run a pub team in West Bromwich, the Four in Hand IIRC, and was well known for his drinking ability in there.


Met a former Albion player who played under him and said that no one would ever touch him for drinking capacity…but what really got me was…with every take he told he said…” with no drugs”…..leaving me to think that they must have been pretty rife….

Over the weekend, I heard rumours of a triple unveiling today. Two announced this morning, so we'll have to wait and see.

Yes, so not the same as Barkley - as we've not had anything like the "10th June for Tielemans" thing for Barkley.
