So there is a 'bidding war' hotting up, now? Good, oh!

Aston Villa are only the fourth side in Champions League history to score twice in the opening five minutes of a game, after Valencia v Lazio in April 2000, Standard Liège v Arsenal in September 2009, and Borussia Dortmund v Zenit St Petersburg in February 2014.

was not happy being likened to a preserved lemon. Allegedly.

Might be unavoidable.....

I wonder if noted Villa fan, HRH The Prince of Wales, will attend. It could get interesting, if he pitches up.

Mind you

Might be a tad tricky for you, if you are in the 'fanzone', down Digbeth:-

I note with interest, and some amusement, that The Man Who Invented Attacking Football is under pressure at New White Hart Lane, and that Okkerball no longer seems to be flavour of anybody's month, not even of those who take an homeopathic view, and aver that dilution of quality is the way forward. The gravy boat has not sunk yet, although the players, allegedly, are bitching and complaining behind his back. Frankly, he has never impressed me: up here he had -by far- the largest budget, scared, compliant, officials and his record in European competition was nothing to write home about (and that for a mob which tells us that it is out to show the world what it can do). To be scrupulously fair, his captain advised us, displaying not even the merest hint of a speck of a scintilla of irony, that rasellik is refereed to a different standard by continental officials, by way of explanation of recurring failure. For the avoidance of doubt, this standard, of course, means the application of the Laws of the Game, objectively, without, ahem, fear or favour. I concede that I am inclined, naturally, to take a disapproving view of any anybody who has any involvement with that outfit, viewing them as complicit in decades of child abuse, its denial, and its concealment. Laying my distaste aside, however, as far as football goes, I have a sneaking suspicion that he is being found out.

Diomande, obvs. Lad needs to learn how to punch, mind.

They may have to rescind, without the formal appeal process.

Wow! Prejudging an appeal!! It will be interesting to see how this plays out now.

The fact that you have to ask speaks for itself. I think that it is satire, because who from the SFA would be available to comment on a Sunday? And, of course, to make such a statement would prejudice any appeal.

Walsh is a bigot and a cheat.

Satanic intervention, there

And no Professor Bell to deliver a series of lectures

Well, I never.....Presbyterian goal frames!

His name is Declan Gallagher; the opposition is Rangers. Or was that a rhetorical question?

They are playing a Cup Final; we urnae.

Your thesis is that the fhilth would not allow then to play well. Yet you imply that they do play well against them.

I was confused about how many, and in which part of the pitch you wanted reinforcements. As for details, etc, surely all we need for any acquisition is the chop of @Rousseau

I thought that they were better than us for, oh, about an hour of the match. In fact I thought that they were going to win. Let's see if how they play against the fhilth, the next time they meet. Did you not declare, baldly, that the fhilth would not allow them to play well, yet, here you are lauding their record, as better against them than ours.

So, at least one cb, and two attacking players?

So: no defensive reinforcement, but a couple of mystery ball juggling forwards?

I am not so sure. It won't happen, of course, but that is more down to the the Hibs than to the Pederasts.
