Re: ⚽ Aston Villa vs West Ham Utd: match thread

I think it's possible Bowen had time to cut onto his left and pick his spot if he wasn't fouled once he got between Konsa and tha ball. May be, but that is speculation. In my view I believe the sending off was harsh and I would be more than a tad upset if given against us. The foul on Pablo and non...

No-one is irreplaceable. Doesn't mean that you want a replacement though and you know that wasn't what I was replying to.

Re: ⚽ Aston Villa vs West Ham Utd: match thread

Away game up at Villa - 58% possession 21 shots at goal 8 on target 6 corners 4 delightful goals 1 sending off/could have been 2 1 decent Penalty shout Our attacking play looked mighty fine to me. Maybe I'm just easily pleased :coolas: What is more pleasing, for me, is that our goals are coming fro...

Re: ⚽ Aston Villa vs West Ham Utd: match thread

To be fair, most of the comments on the OV are a reasonable reflection of the game and their club. Sure, some of the deluded few need the men in white coats to come quick. Personally I thought Villa were perhaps the worst side we have played this year and I'm not sure the sending off helped us (geed...

Re: Gold & Sullivan

If Moyes left there would be decent managers queueing up to take over given the position we are in, the players we have, the media attention we are getting and the crowds we get I agree. Even without our current success there are plenty of good Managers out there who would jump at the chance to com...

Re: ⚽ Aston Villa vs West Ham Utd: match thread

Plus, Zouma played silly beggars in that first half by passing awkwardly to Fabianski, who kicked it off for a cheap corner. No matter how well Zouma plays he does have a habit of making at least one major cock-up a game. That one was down to Fabianski. Knowing that Zouma was under pressure he shou...

Re: ⚽ Aston Villa vs West Ham Utd: match thread

Pleased with the result but performance wise I thought we very, very sloppy. Aston Villa, for me, perhaps the worse side we have faced. The sending off geed them up, but they will struggle. They deserved to finish with 10, but wrong man sent off IMO.

Re: Gold & Sullivan

Opinions eh! For me, the real frustration with them is a deluded view of their own financial muscle and a total lack of humilty or empathy with supporters. That's bad business. When it comes down to it they are just not rich enough to deliver on their ambition and promises. Coupled with a disrespect...

Re: ⚽ Aston Villa vs West Ham Utd: match thread

Primarily, Im looking forward to being entertained and the team playing well. If that gets a win or draw then great. If not, then so be it. Playing poor and losing is worse that can happen.

Re: Takeover talk

I would feel fairly certain that this is a precursor to a majority stakeholding, for various reasons: 1. 27% is not arbitrary - a 30% acquisition would force a full takeover bid today 2. We know that GSB have to pay back a % of their profit if they sell now (before March of next year) 3. Paying £15...

Re: Takeover talk

Isn’t the belief that he’s investing so he can buy? I would be interested to know if the success of others coming from big money is the problem or the man himself. Whatever it is, he doesn’t look a man who’s going to revolutionise us, but he isn’t Sullivan so I can’t be too bothered. He also looks ...

There are some great posters on Bluemoon. Good blokes I’ve shared many pints with through to professionals who’ve advised me from legal stuff through to life advice.

Re: Takeover talk

If Sullivan has signed a confidentiality agreement, it looks like we are nearing the end of his reign of terror Hmm, lets not carried away. As I understand it the fella is only (allegedly) investing in 27% of the club, which is less shareholding than Gold. It of course gives him a 'say' but only 27...

A very rich persons worth can be pretty irrelevant. Its actually how much easily liquidated assets they have (preferabley cash), why are they investing, and expected ROI (if any) and when.
