Lovely

The Mirror have done an exclusive and mentioned, in passing, that we’re prepared to ‘Blow Villa out of the water’.

Narrative of greed being written already?

Or we've bought a gunship.

I was only 14 when he left but I remember feeling conflicted. Absolutely devastated he'd gone when I saw the news on fucking Ceefax but I was also happy for him that he'd gone to a better team with a serious chance of winning things. Obviously didn't work out how he would have wanted but I couldn't blame him for going*.

I'm not sure why a club who would more than likely still be in the Championship without Grealish would begrudge him a similar move. Then again, I had a quick flick through their forum last night and it looks like a lot of them have completely overcommitted to the whole "he's definitely staying to win more meaningful trophies" thing and will probably feel embarrassed and let down as a result.

*Although going off later interviews it looked like it wasn't exactly his decision anyway.

Same happened with Clive Wilson, was gutted when he left. Great LB for us.

Nothing new there then.

This has made me think of Bullseye. It was always the couple from Brum that won the speedboat wasn't it!

For those who remember, losing Paul Stewart to Spurs was a huge blow to how we saw ourselves back in the 80s. It was a bitter blow that told us we were no longer one of the big boys, even though it should have been obvious long before then. I feel sorry for any side that loses their best player, regardless of how much money they receive etc.

Think anybody who lived in a landlocked area won the speedboat and anybody from a coastal area won a new dishwasher and fridge.

Also back in the day, Peter Barnes and Garry Owen, WTF was going on at the club, what were they thinking?

Remember seeing a picture of Owen signing at the Hawthorns, crying his eyes out, so sad.
