There will still be pockets of Villa twitter convinced to this day that this lad was as good as Messi, just not given a chance.

McGrath beyond everyone but that pile underneath is pretty tight: Laursen the best technical defender we’ve had but he was made of biscuits by the time we had him. Konsa, Southgate, Ehiogu all in the mix.

And I know he wasn’t a member but Andrew Weatherall is also pretty intertwined with the Scream story and he’s obviously no longer with us. An odd trend.

Vanishing Point and XTRMNTR are their best records, Screamadelica is just their most important.

It’s incredibly sad Mani has gone so young. Not a bad set of art to leave behind, though.

If he finds them somehow it’ll look like you’re planning to murder him.

If he dies unexpectedly and the police find them, it’ll look like you did murder him.

This is a perfect distillation of will be said about 2025 in political history books 100 years from now as they try to wade through the exhausting nonsense of this year.

Discard the breading or save the “peelings” for a final naughty treat after the chore of eating multiple unseasoned, flavourless processed fish blocks?

It’s wild that we’re supposed to accept Walking Dead On Tour as a thing.

And I just saw that it’s on its 3rd season???? Every single new spin-off feels generated by a turd hurled at a whiteboard made of turd covered in ideas written in more turd.

I guarantee Walking Dead In Space is on the way.

I’m more upset that we’re playing Utd at Christmas again - it never ends well for us.

That run of games - Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Forest, Palace - is going to ruin my new year.

Night and day vs the latter part of last season. He’s one of our best players so far.

BUT we absolutely needed him in order for Unai to arrive.

If we’d replaced Smith with someone with just a modicum of managerial skill, we probably wouldn’t have been in the market at the moment we needed to be to get Unai. He would‘ve gone elsewhere and we would’ve missed this last 3 years.

A necessary evil

Completely up for this - there’s no problem whatsoever switching up the styles every few years with something more experimental.

Besides, the Luke kit remains the best shirt we’ve had since since the Acorns kit.

I smile every time I see the 15/16 season mentioned. It wasn't funny at the time but the speed and ferocity of our disintegration over those last few years is genuinely laughable. It’s a wonder we recovered at all.

His remit was to make up for the contributions we lost when we didn’t sign Asensio. He is more than achieving that - I’d argue that he is actually providing more in-game than Asensio did too.

I’m delighted for him.

No question that he’s up there in the pantheons of Villa greats - much like Unai, we need a trophy for him to make him immortal - but there’s no question that he’s a club legend.

Promotion, survival, European qualification, Champions league - every one has a legendary Mcginn contribution attached.

On the basis that Lily Allen still lets her daughters stay with Harbour and Millie Bobby Brown seemed completely fine with him at the Stranger Things premiere this week, I suspect that Harbour is just a run-of-the-mill weak little man rather than a completely heinous piece of shit.

He's nothing more than the paint on the brush of that show so I’d just watch it and see how you feel.

Honestly, there are so many people in the MCU that it would be more shocking if there weren’t a number of twats in there.
