Re: Steve Bruce: The Gloves are off
I, for one, am shocked that Bruce has allowed those tyrannical players and negative fans to inflict this upon him. Also, seems like this is a familiar tune to the one he's played out at previous clubs, some nice Villa fan reactions here - https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news...

Re: Could it happen? Next manager suggestions
Something I hadn't previously considered, but the whole brexit thing will make it tougher to hire managers and coaches. Not that we really seemed to look to the continent much at all. The qualifying criteria for managers are simpler than those for players: 24 months consecutively or 36 months over t...

Re: Match Thread: Sheffield Utd v Newcastle
If they actually did want to get a hungry younger manager from another (or lower) league, you can be sure they could attract one, since they all see how risk-adverse most PL clubs are and how few openings will come available to them. Though I don't trust us to have anyone in a decision making role ...

Re: Match Thread: Sheffield Utd v Newcastle
Wilson has zero confidence right now and I'm not surprised. You go game after game barely touching the ball and your confidence goes. He must've had other options in the summer and right now I bet he wishes he'd taken any of them. Villa were the other option right? And where are they now? Just chal...

Re: Match Thread: Sheffield Utd v Newcastle
Has anyone worked out what position Longstaff is playing? I think it's right mid, but he's chasing the ball all over the pitch

Re: Match Thread: Sheffield Utd v Newcastle
Bruce has keenly identified that it was a bit embarrassing to give Derby all those points in the record setting season Sheff Utd are trying to match, so naturally something that looks vaguely like a 5-4-1 is the only way to go to avoid that again.

Now our usual set up makes sense I thought before opening the article and he was talking about covid pandemic.

Villa have to olay youth team in fa cup. Obviously a serious situation.... But if this happens six times to certain clubs we could get to the fa cup final?

I disapproved it because it was needlessly antagonistic. There's no need to police the language on here.

Re: Match Thread - Brentford v Newcastle (LC QF)
It's great to see that our game plan continues to be to pass along the edge of our defensive third before punting it long at a short front four.

Re: Match Thread - Newcastle v Fulham
Turns out that if you run at their defence, sometimes things happen.
