Well thought out post WBA. Very easy to keep on criticising but reading your post is very sobering. So much dross in the squad.One point I'd make on WBA's post - I think it's a bit unfair bracketing Maja as injury prone at this stage. He's been the victim of 2 on-field physical assaults which would have had similar results on anyone.
No, and he wouldn’t play under any manager with any sense either. Simply not good enough.He's obviously a big underachiever as far as the 6 year contract on relatively big wages goes and it's clear he doesn't figure in CC's plans BUT I'd say he probably is a championship standard player....it's just we expect more due to his deal.
Is the Cardiff manager in danger of sack then? Mid table for themHe's meant to be in demand elsewhere.
Grant scored a decent goal for Cardiff yesterday, shame it's only number 6 for the season or something.I had a beer with 2 Cardiff City season ticket holders yesterday. They were assessing their team and rated Grant as one of their better players and they hope he can stay but see it as unlikely.
Former Villa defender Chris Nicholl has died aged 77, diagnosed with dementia 8 years agoAnother sad loss. I saw an interview with him where he described how he and Dave Watson when they were at Southampton, used to play head tennis by heading the ball the full length of the gym they used. Both gone to dementia and I suppose another sad example of players in those days being totally unaware of the long term effects of repeated heading.
RIP
You cannot put any blame down to The Liquidator, this is a song that has been played for years against all types of opponent without any trouble at all.Have to say, I don't think anyone, including myself, has suggested that the liquidator was to blame for Sunday in any way.
One isolated incident albeit a serious one is just that, an isolated incident and hopefully those who allowed the seats to be taken by away fans will be dealt with and anyone involved will be dealt with appropriately but trying to put any blame to a song is desperate nanny state clutching at straws.
I hate to delve into other things but are we going to request the banning on any songs that glorify knife crime or mention it as there were more stabbings over the weekend where people died.
I can see I'm going to need to go back to adding smilies and winks to posts, oh wellI do know which bits of your reply were tongue in cheek and which weren't...we move on..
It doesn't need modifying it just needs singing with the correct word. Villa. In all seriousness football has become far too sanitised as it is and the song had no impact whatsoever on what happened. Unless of course there was a delayed reaction which covered the halftime period as well.I obviously wasn't suggesting there was a direct link between the liquidator and what unfolded on Sunday. I'm talking about our look going forward with reputation tarnished and prospective buyers looking on.
I think it's just their number of injuries driving this. Occam's Razor- sometimes the simplest explanation is the correct one.but as mentioned above De Zerbi quoted as saying: "I think he goes to play on loan to another team." I heard the de Zerbi clip where he said that. It's also sounding pretty nailed on that he's going to Ipswich.
i think this is where sports science needs to be looked at.or certain players have a physical make-up which makes them more prone to certain types of injury.
player x has same type of injury around same time of year most years. why ?
is it the training they do, is it a reaction to the climate/temperatures
Swansea sacking Michael DuffYes Duff was known for pretty direct football in previous jobs which made it a surprising appointment in the first place given the Swansea blueprint of passing football. Mowbray to Swansea maybe ?
I'm still waiting for an answer as to why Swift tried a circus act rather than having a crack on the volley !I need to see it again. It looked to me that it was one of those that don't fall quite right to be smashed with a first time volley. It's a split second decision and he obviously thought he had a better chance trying to manouevre the ball. It's one of those things but personally I don't think he deserves any pelters.
Tractors manager Kieran McKenna said our team were technically very advanced with many of our players having Premiership experience.He also then added 'or top experienced Championship players' which Wallace and Swift would come under.
Got me wondering exactly how many of our players on the pitch yesterday actually have experienced the Premier League?
I'm prepared to stand corrected but there was no such thing as an International break-even as recent as 20yrs ago. Just add it to the list of things that have deteriorated with time.You are correct that there wasn't one in the UK. It was introduced because of lack of preparation time before international games and late drop-outs due to injuries picked up in league games played 3 or 4 days before the international. We fell into line with other nations by introducing the international break. Whether it's better or not depends on individual view and the club/country priority.
I'd be disappointed to see him go. He is a better prospect than TGH in my opinion as he has genuine pace and not afraid to use it, and he's one of our few local lads. If he were to be sold, you'd hope we'd get a top price for him. By the way, Bundesliga clubs generally pay much less for transfer fees than here.It sounds as though he's out of contract at the end of the season so doubt we'd get much for him in January unless he renews before then. He sounds and seems an intelligent player from his comments and awareness. Would be nice to keep him here and in the picture.
