Unai Emery - our manager

[Ger Regan]

I take it his coaching staff are still waiting on their work permits?

Makes sense. Scorpios are deeply intelligent, brilliant people.

Sure, but all the best people are Capricorns obviously.

The title of this article feels like a wind up but it has to be said it goes on to make some interesting points.

Yes, a few interesting points made. But this article feels rather pointless, with spurious / irrelevant points being made in support of an ill-defined argument.
It seems to argue that bringing in a foreign manager with limited or no Premier-league experience is not going to solve Villa's woes and that Villa does not deserve to have ambition; I think!

All big but down-at-heel clubs will attract criticism - Barcodes being a good example; particularly if they don't know their place in the new order of things (defined by the Scab six).

[PaulWinch again]

I think if you assume it’s a simple case of equating winning European trophies at a couple of clubs then he’ll do it at Villa, then yes it’s spurious. I like to think it’s more that we clearly need an astute coach who can get the best out of players and adapt to match situations. In that sense he has every opportunity to succeed.

What a fucking biased, sneering, and patronising pile of shite that was.

Yeah, the 'dumb luck' of developing a player and selling him on, fuck off.

Author is a West Ham fan and it shows. What he fails to point out is how the PL is attracting elite managers/coaches or as one of those Spanish football 'experts' said the other day, 'the European Super League has already arrived and it's in England'. The same goes with players, last night I watched three journalists representing Benfica, Porto and Sporting. All agreed that today it's impossible for their respective clubs to keep their best players. TV money changed all that.

I wonder when Declan Rice pisses off he'll be talking about the 'dumb luck' of West Ham pocketing a truck full of moolah.

His boiler looks in good shape.

Coming from you he should be concerned.

No chance. I've signed it off and guaranteed any repairs. If he's got a Mexican phonebook I should be easy enough to find.

Corgi or Gas Safe registered?

Our company uses Corona gas, it made some anti-vaxxer colleagues nervous.
