It wasn’t just nasty comments, wasn’t it a full on smack in the face at Walkabout in Birmingham? Suggesting, just perhaps, that Warner’s character flaws were not just an unlucky one off as some would have us believe!
A few weeks later, we were having dinner at Gauchos in Manchester during the...
My only visit to the old Victoria Ground was with a mate who was a Stoke fan when I lived in the Midlands to see Stoke v Norwich in the mid 80s. When Stoke scored it was like the mosh pit and then from nowhere some fans were being crowd surfed down the terracing. You couldn’t make it up.
Being...
Only went there once but walked down towards the ground from where we’d left the car and had the old ‘got the time on you mate?’ from a group we went past. One of those situations you felt very lucky to get away from. That same group were trying all the door handles on the parked cars, luckily...
Just watching his last innings, the commentators are making him sound like Mother Theresa.
I would have expected that from Kerry O’Keefe but even Isa Guha is salivating about him ‘he’s a great character, we need more characters in the game’! Hmm, that’s one word for him I suppose.
What gets...
I was hearing that from tonight they have an additional VAR official, VAR support, to handle communication from all the other VAR officials and assistants back down to the referee.
It’s getting ridiculous, let’s just keep getting more and more cooks into the mix, that’s bound to help!
Wolves may get through. They are reasonably placed in the League and don’t play again until they come to us on the 22nd so will put out a full strength team I would think ( though have lost a couple of players to the Africa and Asia cups)
I feel your pain. Having to sit in amongst Villa fans must have been torturous. I’m sure they outed you the moment you didn’t start hurling vitriolic abuse at families in the away end?! Or singing about winning trophies before colour TV was a thing …… 😆
I imagine it’s a hot topic at most clubs where demand exceeds supply. I saw that Villa have a ‘ticket consultation group’ and recently made some changes but it didn’t sound like anything that Albion weren’t already doing and it seems their fans are not happy bunnies on the system either...
My opinion, for what it’s worth. I am a lapsed season ticket holder, due mainly to health reasons at the time, but a member and still a regular attendee with 240+ points. However I fully get that it puts me behind season ticket holders in any queue for scarce tickets.
I do believe that having...
I think it’s a fair comment though. I have been to some games there like the Villa games in the early 2000s or the Carling Cup semi final against West Ham and the ground was literally shaking (probably structural defects!)! I have been to around 125 grounds home and abroad in much bigger...
Looks like Tony Mowbray will be replacing Rooney, if the rumour mill is accurate.
It seems Steve Cooper is waiting for a Premier League role. As he always wears a black ‘ultras style’ jacket, I think we know where he is likely to be heading …..
