Vacamion

No Alert up here. It rains occasionally in these parts.

From Reddit. Didn't know whether to share it in this thread, or in the Do They Mean Us thread. , but then again, on reflection

It's not even the middle of August and it has started This was in the BBC comments, but there's plenty expressing their anger elsewhere, too:

Cloudy and dull up here. I have realised why the most famous astronomers were not Scottish

He's still going to be savagely booed by Villa fans for saying this out loud instead of just thinking it :

Social Media up here revelling in the "Derek McWinless" stuff. Plenty of refrences to and comparisons with Russell Martin, as well.

If we are paying Faes and can't sell him, we should play him up front. Watching our players turn back again and again, because we had no striker, was not fun. Good show from the Academy products, mostly.

Commentator just compared Stolarczyk to Manuel Neuer

If you remove Okoli's efforts, have we had zero shots?

Okoli went to control the ball and controlled the other guy's ankle.

Pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass. Pass it back. Pass, pass pass, pass. No shot.

A Hydration Break in a game like this is like players covering their mouths in a Sunday league game.

From these small acorns ...

Playing the Russell way starts as it means to go on....

Yes lads. That's it.

Has that suntanned wazzock of an assistant manager been binned, as well?

Anyone who has seen the United Passions film* knows that Sepp is the good guy. (*no one is admitting this)

UEFA fighting back. I don't think this idea will get off the ground.

Marvellous. Henderson had a fantastic World Cup, I suppose

Get Hutchinson more minutes. He's mustard.

Throughout that half I thought the commentator was saying W4nk Ruse. Then I realised it was Juan Cruz.

Are Malaga crap, or are we good?

"Middle Eastern" is a bit imprecise.

Maybe he can repeatedly step in and shoot from outside the box for his new club, like he did for us. If one or two go in, he'll be a Goal Of The Month contender. Fair play, that goal from his own half last season was one of the best examples of that kind of goal. Stupendous. It was a small bit of light in amongst a generally crap season (2 seasons) for us all. Good luck to him, I hope his knee holds up.
