"calling for curbs on immigration" in the current climate is still a dog whistle, and, what makes it worse, is you know that.
Shame.

In many ways, I couldn't blame them. They're on a terrible run, and sometimes, you have to earn the right to play football.
We didn't quite do that- plus I don't want us to turn into "Big 6" fans where teams are supposed to come and roll over.
(So I've just argued with myself ha ha).

To be fair, his game plan of kicking anyone in a Villa shirt nearly worked.
In a way, Hinshelwood scoring the goal felt like payback.

I think there is. He's also pretty tied in, with the Real Unión deal etc.
I think also that he's trying to deal with it by not answering questions about other teams and stupid title talk. Fact is, even our best team shouldn't be anywhere near where we currently are.
Let's try to enjoy it.

I dunno, maybe #r4today should speak to more ordinary people.
People are struggling hard out here - Lord Jim, millionaire business leaders, and obscenely paid BBC presenters have absolutely no idea what it's like in the real economy.

I'd say those are fair points David.
He obviously does feel the pressure (largely self-imposed of course)- the "Bizot, Bizot..." Interview for example.
I suspect he, like us, is massively frustrated that we can't compete on a level playing field - and that might be why we lose him.

The most powerful man in the world is a fascist, pædo-adjacent billionaire. The richest person in the world—who owns the most important global news-aggregation source—is a fascist, pædo-adjacent billionaire.
So, if you're a fascist billionaire, why not just say what you like? You're safe as houses.

You have my sympathy. I'm at the other side of the Iberian peninsula, and the weather has been relentlessly pants here too.

The football media (sorry John) is so ridiculous anyway.
Under any other manager, I'd have written CL off with our injuries (and the fact we can't spend like the others).
Fortunately, Unai isn't any other manager! #UTV

Unai Emery emphatically told reporters he is not bothered about Man Utd, Chelsea, or Liverpool's results - full focus on #AVFC as it should be.
"No way. I don't want to speak on other teams. We focus on ourselves, our way, our points, and how we build."

It was absolutely a tough watch, but it felt even more like a must win.
We were devoid of ideas to be honest.
Bailey and Barkley helped, but we really never looked like scoring.

I remember when the hideously wealthy stopped short of giving us the full extent of their loathsome opinions, because they had a slight concern their business might be damaged.
Now they own everything, they don't care.
