SteV

Or we just went for Hall instead.

Or a message to Juve to pay up or he stays? Or more likely no message to anyone.

Too much nervousness I fear. Probably too much expectation too (even though we are genuinely in a position where we should get through, so not unreasonable expectation). And expectation is the biggest atmosphere killer going.

Do these supposed bids for Turkish clubs ever amount to anything. Seems like they leak the fuck out of them and then bid £3.50.

Stopping off at Guantanamo Bay.

Aye, you’re probably right. It wouldn’t really be on to suddenly make Mags+ a requirement in relation to getting tickets when that wasn’t advertised as such. However, they can’t really be letting people buy a membership next week and have the same chance as someone who’s had one all season. Anyway, let’s just hope this is all still a discussion topic come Thursday morning 🤞

They did last time. Obviously there was a bit of uproar about how they went about, and no doubt there will be again, however they decide to do it. If I remember correctly the allocation is slightly more than (what we believe to be) the number of ST holders, and that’s without considering that not every single ST holder would apply.

I think it’s more likely related to potential cup final tickets

Big game coming up for them today. Whilst obviously hoping for some injuries/suspensions on the back of it, I’d take it being really intense with some controversy coming out of it.

I have no idea how Villa are intending to manage this turnover to wages ratio business that’s coming in?

Lewis and Lascelles are out of contract.

Why are there over 10k seats not available for sale?

Long as fuck, and utterly pointless. Could have just been: ”Ever had any drones spying on your training?” ”Nah” ”Think this Bev Preistman should have been banned?” ”Couldn’t give a fuck”

And probably did less damage than McClaren.

That our transfer budget was surprisingly small.

Purely in terms of results given the quality of squad he had available, it’s a fair shout.

Agreed, he has looked better in the last 20, especially of late, but probably all season, in comparison to last season anyway, when he was often completely spent, and pretty much a passenger. Albeit, he was probably being asked to keep going whilst being well short of 100% fitness. But having Wilson to come on, even if it’s to partner him if we’re chasing, will be a help.

Quite probably, which is why it would be helpful to have someone a little better suited to those situations.

Yes, because unfortunately Isak’s race is generally run after 70 mins of most games, as shown by his extremely low goal output after that point.

So therefore he is GUARANTEED to be out the rest of the season? As I said, I totally understand the reticence towards his fitness, but it’s still a very negative take to completely write him off for the rest of the season.

Tbf, Hope still seemed fairly convinced it would be Arsenal in his post-presser video.

Whilst I understand the frustration with his injuries, that’s an incredibly negative take.

Why is he going to miss what remains of the season?

Yes, I suppose so. You’d think that’s just roughly levelling out though, rather than actually making reductions?

So Villa were at like 96% wages to turnover ratio, and now they’re taking on someone that’s on £300k a week? Alright, Man Utd will obviously still be paying a chunk, but I’ve no idea how the hell Villa are intending to comply with the new rules?
