Doubt he could strike a penalty as well as big Kev Pressman though.

It came up somewhere the other day, that that was 30 years ago.

I'm so old.

Best penalty ever. If we’d had three keepers it would still have gone in!

Looks like he runs the operation from The Jockey on the Chatsworth Estate anyway

The money they waste and it's always just ordinary people getting fucked. Cunts

Now saying it’s to stop them going bust. Unbelievable.

So we can have a mixed approach to VAR in R5 but not earlier rounds. Guess we benefited but this half -arsed approach is ridiculous.

#avfc frustrated as Premier League refuse request to move Liverpool fixture. Leaves Villa now facing 5 games in 14 days, and only 1 league game in March. Villa play Liverpool at home next Weds (initially moved as it clashes with Carabao Cup Final)

Ratcliffe is an English Shi.

There was a conversation on here a year or so ago about how big Blues were if they got things right. They are currently getting way more than we did in League 1

Very different circumstances

Are they? We bought the league, so have they.

Still one of my favourite seasons, I’m easily pleased .

It was fun in its way, even being able to only catch highlights. I think a lot of that has to do with the characters involved at that time, though. KJ was such a refreshing leader after Saunders. Sako with his happy-go-lucky attitude (and being just absurdly too good for that league). Dicko being the slightly more serious version of Sako for the second half. Michael Jacobs and his floofy hair looking like the Iniesta of League One. Carl "Better Than Hennessey and I Will Hear No Argument Otherwise" Ikeme, for me personally, anyway. Even Griffiths' antics were fun for a little while.

I never want us down that far ever again, though.
