Please tell me people can more strongly substantiate reports that Douglas Luiz is coming back, beyond telling me Alisha Lehmann has been spotted shopping at the Fort 🤣🤣

I appreciate I have rose tinted glasses over ex players but I'm still not over him going

Low odds on Buendia scoring/being fouled etc today on betting sites - do they know something we don't about him starting?
I'd be really pleased if he is.

Does anyone find it weird that if Duran scores, any interview with player/Emery makes a huge thing about how he is a work in progress, his attitude not quite right.
Is it such a big problem behind the scenes that we're not just able to say well done, he's a huge talent?

Great result, and choosing to ignore we still have the fewest clean sheets.

Maybe they removed the bonus for getting one and the players are protesting 🤣

So pleased to see Mings do well. My next wish is a Bailey goal - we've seen his potential and his confidence is a huge part of that.

Does anyone have on sale dates for the Villa v Leicester game? Have been told for members with booking history (which normally sells out so it doesn't go any further).

Surely I've got that wrong as website is going to collapse!

Does anyone have a quirky "meeting player story"?

Mine was bumping into Savo in the carpark by Villa Village on a random Tuesday. I didn't have any paper to get an autograph so me and my mum searched the car.

Result was our 1996 Birmingham A to Z ended up with a Savo autograph on its front page...

Tentatively joining here, have always wanted somewhere to join in Villa chat but was offput by Twitter. Very first day in new school vibes... Will see how it goes
