The ones who have talked to me so far seem to be looking for reassurance. They get a bit gobby but are really looking for me to offer some crumbs of comfort like we are not the team from last season , Haaland out of form etc. Keep saying we might need them to slip up and us to go on a great run...

There is substantial material in the CAS findings to refute this rubbish. The CAS found that “leaked email number four is in fact a combination of two separate emails” which gives a “somewhat distorted impression”, and they based their decision on the originals, rather than the hacked versions...

Think one of Mansours investment arms have set up joint venture with Red Bird to buy Newspapers and media production companies. As Red Bird are just a big Private Investment firm am assuming that lots of very rich , well known and otherwise people will have parked there cash with them and be...

I like Doku and think he will get better. I think when Sterling was at his peak there was an element of that in the crowd but can't say its the same with Doku. Think its more down to the sort of winger he is causing frustration. He will go at people and lose the ball on occasion - its his job...

Remember when he went seeing a local blue in a strange footie shirt which turned out to be a NY cosmos shirt. Thought it was a Northern Ireland jersey but had Tueart's name on it.

Totally unnecessary. Should we cap pop star's earnings or anyone else's ? Long as they pay the tax I don't have an issue . Rather it go to a player who is taxed than a tax haven or the USA as profit.

The target weight I assume is a guide to whether you are doing lots of things correctly , sticking to the dietary guidelines, resting and sleep , sticking to training regime etc. and would be one indication and measure to how you are likely to perform and how seriously you are taking your job...

Think Doku has been decent and showed signs that he will get significantly better. As a collective we tend to be pretty harsh on the wide players we have had for any drop in form or if they are ineffective in any single game. Was the same for Mahrez , Sane and Sterling even in his good seasons...

Gleghorn I think in FA cup. Was at that game , soaking wet holding an inflatable jukebox over my head. Am sure Andy Sinton was playing for Brentford but as you've mentioned the league cup game not sure if I am confusing the 2 !!

Horse ownership does'nt count nor brown bags full of cash after selling ukrainian wingers if your club plays in red.

There really are some scumbags in life , just have to hope you don't run in to too many and your never in a vulnerable position where you can be taken advantage off. Remember Villa thinking they had pulled off quite the coup in getting him but shows how quickly it can all turn to dust even for...

Thats the guy. Career turned into a non event after being bigged up as the next Pele. Only vague memories of him looking impressive doing tricks on the pitch either before the game or half time but don't think he ever played.

Saw this and desperately trying to remember the name of the African lad who was going to be the next big thing in 80s/90s who spent a very short time at Villa. Might be my memory but am sure he was on the pitch playing keepy uppy when they played us - dazzling ball skills but vanished into the...

100% this - if controls are going to be place they need to be set at the same level and the protection for the clubs should be any spend in excess of revenue should be covered by investment from owners. Unbelievable that this set of rules was voted in to effectively lock teams in at the top and...

Not sure his replacement will be any better. Think Ceferin bends whichever way he thinks will keep him in power and this may play out very badly for UEFA. Don't trust the guy but at least his motives are clear - self interest. If Gill gets in or someone of his ilk think it will be protect the...

Its a mad world where at the top end of the league you have clubs spending close to £700m and yet have rules to cap investment at clubs spending £250m to £300m to stop them closing the gap and label it fair play. Disagree on the wages issue - I know the wages are mad but market forces will out...

Prefer Jablonskis "Lets do it to them before they do it to us"

Think Rodri could easily score 10 plus goals a season if he we let him loose. Equally think he could be dropped into the back four on permanent basis and play the stones role if only we had someone to cover as DM on same level. Think thats what we might have seen if we had signed Declan Rice...

Doku is a fanatastic talent , he will have flaws , as every player does but if he does not have the tools to open up a specific defence we have other players who offer something different and we will tag another player in. Doku will carry a greater risk of losing the ball as he will take players...
