Out with a bad throat. Only at Villa could a new signing be out with a bad throat

Is he out of the game? I haven’t seen that confirmed.

Am I the only one who hates the term 'Double pivot'?

Probably not, but it's the easiest way to share an idea that almost everyone on here will understand.

Like what Southgate does with England with Rice and Phillips. Except Southgate's full backs actually defend.

Welcome Clive!

I saw this and it took about an hour for it to sink in why you were calling him Clive!

It took me a minute or two to get it. Its marvellous and I shall be using his new name at every opportunity.

Mendonca?

He hasn't even got to move house, he should be able to settle in easy enough.

Just made me think though, who was the last player signed from one of our nearest and dearest? Chester from the bog-eyes?
Hause?

Sorry, the lady in the green shellsuit shouted it first

Surely you're not allowed to pick two players with the same number?

Only if you add in 5 defenders. Then it's the Southgate.

Picking three 6's would be numerically beastly
