Don't mind McCoist, find him to be fairly neutral on English footie.

Keown was an embarassment though, yesterday. In addition to the unapologetic Arsenal bias, there was also the double standard of him also being a former Villa player.

All that offset obviously by the sound of him moaning as Tielemans almost poked it in at the end, capped by the subsequent silence...
Quite like Ally's commentary on our games, seems to have a soft spot for us, might have been from when he stood on the Holte back in the day

He annoys me when he's commentating with Darren Fletcher, he must say 'I agree Fletch' a couple of dozen times during match.

We will rotate heavily for Basel. I expect us to rotate the midfield, Digne/Maatsen and Watkins/Malen in the Chelsea/Arsenal/Forest/Palace games but not change too much else.

I'd definitely give Lindelof a go against Basel. Done nothing wrong in his cameos, and would be good to get some minutes in his legs and out of Konsa or Pau's.

Lindelof Bogarde Sancho Digne Garcia if fit. Maybe even Bizot too.

I’d forgotten all about Lindelof until he came on yesterday.

Didn’t he score a great goal from outside the box for Scotland at VP in Euro 96?
Not sure but I do recall a tap in for Sunderland at the North Stand end.

Watching the celebrations of the winning goal yesterday is giving me the goosebumps.

Fun fact:

Because of Villa's victory over Arsenal... the team with the longest unbeaten run in British league football is now...

Clyde.

Okay maybe it isn't that "fun", but I like it...

John and Roger Taylor from Duran Duran both at VP yesterday. Two  more Brummie celebrity fans that Small Heath ignore when trying to claim the moral high ground. My dad saw them at VP in ... was it 1983?
Yep 83, I was there in the Trinity as a 12 year old. John Taylor wore the classic Le Coq Sportif two tone claret shirt

Some extraordinary antics there, never seen before, they learn this in training? Its like they are blaming the pitch they way they go on hammering it. Very funny, thanks for sharing.
