The first ground I visited after the Goldstone was Dynamo Dresden, had an aura to it in those days with the big giraffe floodlights and Eastern European bowl terracing.

I imagine there will be plenty of spares advertised for sale on here 👍

It does, but French people choose to holiday in France, for starters. Brits tend to go abroad, if they can. France has a better climate, Mediterranean beaches, cities that were not carpet bombed, better wine/food, the Alps etc etc. It is true that we still have other things to offer too...

The ideal scenario is that we make the Europa League at Villa’s expense with a Villa goal not awarded because the referee’s watch didn’t bleep when it had clearly crossed the line. I’m neutral on whether this could send Villa to the Conference League or out of Europe altogether, I’d be ok with...

‘Villa mates’, an oxymoron if ever I heard one.

True, but I guess you get swayed by your own experiences and interactions, that’s all.

I had reason to phone Santander in Liverpool and got speaking at length to an Evertonian. He also blamed Kenwright. Before the call I had wanted Everton to go down, but if 1 conversation can change things it was this one - he was such a normal, friendly bloke, just loved his football and his...

Villa are already working on turning off the VAR screens and goal line technology, it worked pretty well for them doing that before!

On the referees training course: ’Look at the way Dunk intimidates the poor, defenceless United player, a certain yellow card offence for being that much taller and arguably should have been a straight red. It’s this sort of leniency that gives us a bad name and gets us accused of bias against...

Not sure that ‘going Labour’ is the answer to all your prayers. From one set of incompetent buffoons to, most likely, another. The weakest opposition party for a long time, at least partly culpable for allowing the Tories to also be so incompetent in power for so long.

Good job we don’t take our lead from La Liga. I checked the scores last night, the Atletico Madrid game was just coming up to half time at around 11pm local time - and it can’t be to protect them fro:the excessive heat, which is not much of an issue in early May there!

You sure you weren’t at a Chelsea training session?

I later went to Belgrade and funnily enough they give a very different take on it and are keen to tell you to ignore all the anti-Serb propaganda like what you see in Dubrovnik! Not a conversation to get into too deeply if you want to have a relaxing trip!

Wolves 1982 - 1985 shirt?

We did a day trip into Montenegro (Bay of Kotor) and another into Bosnia to visit Mostar, both were very interesting.

Mine shows FA Cup semi final Wembley - will it still work for tonight?

Traffic can be a problem sometimes but these are at the Uni and so not as bad as the Bridge imho. Only 4 left now anyway.

Ah no, not me then! But that’s just when I bought them!!

Martinez is right up there for me. Still not a big fan of Greasy but I can see he is getting there slowly with help from Uncle Pep!
