Hope we can improve that (if we haven't already, the figures are a year out of date). Could someone ask Villa what they plan to do to improve at the next club meeting, please?

Spurs top after pouring concrete for three years.

Very unfair. Our energy efficiency is great - McGinn and Cash never stop running. As for waste management, we've got rid of pretty much all our rubbish very smartly - there's only really Lansbury and to a lesser extent Taylor to go.

Fuck...I thought being carbon neutral was the ONE thing we could take from the Lamberk era and hold our head high with.

(In fairness he did pioneer the short sideways pass from goalie to centre back half a decade before its current fashion. Folk may point out they were more like backward passes but whose to say that too won't catch on?)

Hopefully being bottom of this particular league table may give cause for the club and the authorities to reappraise the way in which games at VP are served by public transport (or not, as the case may be).

This is a regular bugbear, and it's out of the club's control. I've mentioned before that the train companies, in particular, were happy to co-operate for the Rugby World Cup and concerts but won't do anything else  for our games.

To be honest I'm more concerned with the "sustainability table" that shows us having the least debt in the PL.
