Sorry it’s twitter folks, but I had to share my argument with a Spurs fan after he said a Villa museum would be shit.

https://x.com/bigangecoys/status/2024945864645517600?s=46&t=GdM6cpVxe5IloByNCRheWA

I’m the guy with Salvatore Lucania as my profile pic. Good old Grok lol.

Can't read it without joining, mate. Got a screenshot?

Can’t post screenshots. I’ll try something when I’m less busy.

'Busy'. Robbing a bank, eh? You devil.

On me lunch lol.

Project B6: Villa Park and Aston Villa FC in general, need a Museum to showcase its vast and amazing history. How can a club of our stature not have one? #avfc

Levy gone: You’ve won less than Birmingham in 30 years

Me: A museum, not a trophy cabinet. Villa has an amazing history. Obviously, not everybody knows it, so yeah, a museum would be great.

LG: Wouldn’t be a very big museum

Me: Invented league football, refused to salute Hitler in Germany ‘38, (unlike England), stolen FA Cup, most top flight ssns bar EFC, most England internationals bar THFC, Villa Park hosted world cup/euros/England & more FAC semis than any ground, 21 major trophies inc European Cup.

Then LG fact-checks me with AI: @grok how much of this is accurate when talking about little Aston Villa?

Grok: “Most claims check out based on historical records:

- Villa's director founded the Football League in 1888.
- Players refused Nazi salute in 1938 tour.
- 1895 FA Cup was stolen from a Birmingham shop.
- 2nd most top-flight seasons (112) after Everton.
- 2nd most England internationals (79) after Tottenham.
- Villa Park hosted 1966 World Cup, Euro 96, and 55 FA Cup semis (most ever).
- 20-25 major trophies, including 1982 European Cup.

Accurate overall, though trophy count varies by source.”

Tumbleweed since from the Spurs fan.

Well said, Perce. Not that fucking Tottenham fans are worthy of your time.

Just read that, the title is very misleading.

Todays Newton Heath article? The new goalie is great.

Is he not right, though, that we've regressed to the mean? Or would our midfield superstars MIA have continued to defy the xG gods?

I think we where likely to revert to our more 'traditional' style of the past few seasons now that teams have sat back on us, clogging up the midfield. The three missing players however is pertinent in this instance as we can't now revert back to that lock picking style.

We have regressed to the mean, but it's not our fault we can no longer revert back to the norm.
