Morning! Am not saying I am a bad loser whose mood is affected by my teams results, but having got back from Villa Park about midnight & bad traffic this morning meant that Charlie’s little quip about Villa’s title charge meant I turned it this pod off & put 5Live’s Iran coverage on to cheer me up!
Right ok thanks, have been (sadly!) trying to work out from his injury day when the earliest he could be back heh. Fingers crossed. UTV
@jacobtanswell.bsky.social Hi Jacob hope you are well?
Have you seen that John McGinn interview today on Premier Sports? He talks about his injury and return time, hard to work out, back in 2 to 3 weeks he kinda says? Thanks, love your Villa work, Alan
Fully appreciate Villa are very much struggling recently and the atmosphere at VP has been nervy, but to not mention the bad injuries in midfield to Tielemans, Kamara and McGinn that fundamentally affect the way we set up could be worth a mention? As Villa fans we know we have to tough it out.
Great pod today.
The Barry/chicken talk is VERY close to Partridge talking about Bernard Matthews and turkeys btw! :-)

Those who know me may be aware that I am a devoted Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe fan. Just had a little play of the tutorial of this remake & have to say it gets a lot right! Gonna play some more soon!
(Only thing i miss is the player trading and money mechanic, or maybe i haven’t gotten to that yet!)
the fact my Villa Twitter feed was just full of people welcoming Luiz back and that happened on the old episode at that moment amused my greatly heh.
@footballcliches.bsky.social just listening to an old Cliches from Oct 2024 tonight and there was a very funny Villa relevant “Footballers Names in Daytime Quiz Show Couples”
“DOUGLAS AND LOUISE WELCOME TO THE SHOW”
😂😂😂

It was Villa last season in the CL quarter final vs PSG when we played the Europa anthem instead of the CL one embarrassingly.
This is what should happen to Nazis.
Morning!
Decent usage of Christmas vouchers here I thought…can’t wait to get stuck in!

@footballcliches.bsky.social COMETH THE HOUR!
That was on 60:00 on the dot wasn’t it?!
You were right! 😂
Great stuff can’t wait to listen.
Merry Chris-Woods and a Happy Sepp Maier! 🎄 ⚽️
@footballcliches.bsky.social just rediscovered these “classic” VHS at my folks house heh 👌
After you all fall in love with Rogue Trooper and demand more @2000ad.bsky.social films.
I’m not kidding you with how much is in the balance here! 😅
Pessimistic Villa fan here and had no issue with what you said re: "title conversation". Would much rather go "under the radar" heh. After the summer and start we had, any European qualification would be great still (obviously CL qualification would be amazing but taking nothing for granted).
Rob Reiner has sadly died at the age of 78.
The legendary filmmaker was beloved for such films as This Is Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, When Harry Met Sally, and A Few Good Men among many, many others.

Lindelof celebrating nice and early? Or just happy with his pass out from the back?
He did post this about the MNF Carra/Salah stuff btw
The injury time Konsa/Mings winner against Watford just before lockdown which helped keep us up was an amazing late moment/limbs/celebration even in the Upper Trinity
Buster from the tv show ‘Arrested Development’ holding an arm full of plushies while he looks at his mother Lucille, saying, “these are my awards, mother, from FIFA.“
Who has made this 🤣
@footballcliches.bsky.social not sure this is what jigsaws do?
“Accidental Football Cliches” but can anyone tell me what band/song Star has on screen behind her?
Listen, fair play if you can…
@footballcliches.bsky.social
Listen, fair play …
@footballcliches.bsky.social evening! Transfer rumour doing the Villa rounds for you, a 34 year old Christian Benteke for a ‘last hurrah’ at Villa who need cheap striker cover after his DC United contract is over?!
Quinn is not impressed with me constantly asking him “what is the threshold…?” for various things …
