  1. Purely as a fan of football, I wanted Villa to equalise and win. I understand the inter-PL hatred but PSG embody so much of what is awful about modern football. I think if anything that will fire Villa up for the weekend, they’ve absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

    I remember him having a few dodgy moments when he first came back, didn’t take long for him to catch up though, I agree with that.

    Our CB pairing has been working out pretty well lately so I just don’t see the point of taking the chance unless we already have the game in the bag.

    Nice problem to have! certainly you’d not drop either of Schär or Burn right now on form.

    Because qualifying for CL is that important. If he is a professional Botman will understand that and not let it demotivate him.

    There is not enough games left to justify letting him get up to speed.

    Disagree, looked plenty up to speed when he came back in after a much longer lay-off. He was fantastic both legs of the semi against Arsenal. He's easily one of our best players, if he's fit then he should play.

    Yeah, we were apparently close to signing the Inter midfielder whose name escapes me then all of a sudden up pops Sandro!

    Barella, Italian for “smokescreen”

    When was the last time we signed a player out of the blue? 

     

    Usually the names we end up signing have all been linked weeks and months before we actually sign them.

    I think it’s normally a few weeks in advance since the takeover. Tino felt like the longest-mooted but never seemed in doubt. 
     

    Maybe you are right, but my sense is that things are normally quite advanced by the time reporters are consistently saying the same thing.

  6. We don’t leak our real transfer targets to the press months in advance. May well have interest but the fact Hope is saying it makes me think we’re not going to buy him, hopefully a misdirect while we get someone of better value.

     

    However, in isolation, he’d be a cracking Newcastle player I reckon.

  7. Pints probably 12-15 sing dollars now? When I lived there when you adjusted for currency it was about the same / a bit more than London. 
     

    Best way is to just get some cheap bottles of Tiger (produced there) and drink amongst friends in one of the many nice warm places to sit. 
     

    Re: humidity we used to aim for one glass of water for every pint. You piss all evening but really helps with the hangover.

    Anyone else reckon the score draw retro shirts club shop sells are crap? Bought the yellow green striped away one and the material is so thin, started to fray and nick within a couple of days, seen better qualities off DH Gate.

    My yellow and green is holding up great, no clicks yet, material feels fine to me, just like a 90s football shirt really.

    Howe has tried to bring him in twice. 

    Not to disagree as you seem connected, but was this because of PSR limits / trying to do some sort of player and cash exchange? To my mind it only makes sense if he’s Wilson’s replacement.
