Patriotism. The love of country, it's people, community, a willingness to challenge its imperfections and change them for everyone's benefit. Nationalism. The harking back to a fantasy land that never existed for most, an irrational fear and hatred of others. Be a fucking

DE KUIP STADION, ROTTERDAM 😍

Here we gooooooo ⚽️

Matchday 3 and we've had enough shoddy decisions to last a season. One could be forgiven for thinking that the referees aren't up to the job. Time to go back to training these chimps to referee again. Their personal tools are blunt and they're overreliant on tech.

The Premier League need to get a firm grip on refereeing standards and decisions pronto, because if I'm right ( reading a lot of tweets from supporters of ALL clubs since the King decision) the concern about standards is at, if not beyond tipping point. We no longer know what is

Because as a cohort, ex players demand almost zero say in the sport when playing or post retirement. Yet every significant innovation on the sport came from "football men". We have people like Infantino, zero understanding of the sport as its head who's only interested in

This is honkingly bad timing for Nuno.

Trickies. Fleshed out squad, strong bench, unbeaten going into the game. What went wrong? Any signs of more ball dominance?( 58% posession) Timing of subs? Any big names looking strangely "off it"? Would love to know. 🔴⚪️

UP THE FUCKING VILLA!! 💜 💙

HT 0-1 Palace just need to sit in, pick us off and counter and they'll canter to a win. We look passive, lacking urgency and almost zero threat from wide positions. Rogers could be a tale of second season syndrome, struggling to make any impact. Ollie getting no service but

The truth is he's been a breath of fresh air since he's been at the club. The fact you'll see so many kids around town wearing goalie tops proves that, so he owes Villa nothing at all. But it's obvious he wants out, United are a once in a career move ( regardless of where they

The obligatory Sarr goal.

FT 0-3 Winning breeds confidence, you feel you can do anything and everything. Losing the opposite, you're anxious, ponderous, take too long to do things you'd do eyes closed any other time. Villa are in that space. Managers like 2-3 top notch players in a summer window. Why?

In my experience when you go back to pre season and see 2 or 3 incomings, you're like " great, we're much stronger". Everything looks and feels slightly different because of new quality faces. I guarantee that the seniors in the dressing room are thinking " we're weaker than we

Nobody's suggesting writing the season off! But wages to turnover isn't sustainable, we've had to sell women's team, several young players to balance the books. All for rules we know existed. So either we focus more on gems, lower wages, promoting youth and raising sales now

In other industries it has a name.
