Think there’s a degree of self-fulfilling prophecy with it now (which is entirely his own doing) whereby the press have an easy narrative to slap onto anything he does.

Yesterday is a good example tbh, he’s regularly early to press conferences and a dick in them on accounts of how he’s a complete weapon but it’s perfectly timed for his meltdown narrative this time so it dominates the back pages (after the world cup winning captain gets done for drink driving)

That sort of thing pisses him off even more which leads to even more dickhead behaviour and he’ll be off.

Defs a self fulfilling prophecy. The board didn’t buy him the players he wants because they don’t expect him to last the season, triggering his outbursts. Immediately everyone just says “oh he’s doing what we expected him to do”. Will be nigh on impossible for him to break the cycle at a top club

Bolasie seems like a massive get for Villa. Should be going for auto promotion this season.

#24

He should be, but I fear that he night have lost some of his power and pace with that injury he had.

#25

we’ve signed Bolasie on loan which is rather lovely

Not really convinced Mendy is a left back.

Wolves seem pretty up for it. Phenomenal save against Sterling(!) in the first half, and could have snatched a goal a couple of times.

City rolling around in zorbs at half time. Lol.
Remember watching a half time competition at Dean court where it was a race from one side of pitch to the other between a home and an away fan in zorbs.
Not sure whether the away fan was just taking the piss, or hammered, or both, but the Bmouth fan did it in about 20 seconds. The away fan…it went on for about 10 minutes. Was just going from side to side, completely off course. Stewards intervened and were rolling him off by the end. But rolling someone away in a zorb is pretty difficult when they’re non compliant, so that went on for ages as well. Car crash mesmerick. Was the best thing about the game and never seen it since

This is one of the best 0-0s i’ve seen in ages. Hope Wolves can snatch one, they were phenomenal in that first half.

Edit: Wolves did snatch one. I might be psychic.
