Shorts, they are called shorts, not longs or plus twos. :facepalm:

Those are are proper shorts. We could do with those players too. :claping hands:

The real issue is what the hell is going on with the size of shorts this year? Are we playing US college basketball? They are at least 2 sizes too big and look ridiculous.

15% of Brits on holiday in August so our gate will be at least 10% down on the same fixture in any other month. So 11,000 tops.

Middle of six weeks school,college, and univ holidays. It remains a daft time to start the season. It was much better when the season began on the last Saturday in August. Everything about football was better then, of course. :claping hands::guitar2:

Parachute payments are due to football in this country being a corrupt cartel.

Would save a lot in goal

Of course it is worse. Defence and midfield no stronger and attack weaker. Ricketts for Pennington? Ward and Barton replaced by Vincelot and Swanson = looks no better to me but hope to be proven wrong.

Good point. However, they are not going to be replaced unless TM is after 8 or 9 new players which seems unlikely.

The 4 players I would bench from that line up are Phillips, Stokes, Swanson and Maddison. All should be pushing 4 new men for a start. Ideally Tudgay, Burge and Johnson would not be automatic choices either. A long way to go before we will be competitive IMO, half a team in fact.

Sorry, that team is worse than the one that nearly got relegated. Minimum of 4 players need replacing and the bench is nightmarish.

FA cup semi final at Hillsboro

Villa is a big club. Villa is a much bigger club than CCFC. They are not in the United, Arsenal, Chelsea class though, but their fans who I know believe they are. There was nuance in my post not hatred.

Plus, Villa fans have delusions of being a truly big club and always dismissed ccfc as crap even when we were higher, better, beat them etc Plus, lots of Cov born and bred people supported Villa even when ccfc were on a par with them, which is a disgrace at any time, obviously.

I meant no offence. You clearly do by use of the word "ridiculous".

Gint11, I don't think we see things the same way. I don't think you get my point but I'll give up as it seems to be causing offence to some. No offence meant on my part.

We are all selfish but we don't all hide it behind "for my family". That was my point. Just be honest about your motives. Saying you're doing it for your family is just trying to make yourself look noble to other blokes, probably impresses some women too.

We agree. However, not everyone is motivated by money alone. I could have earned more by switching firms but it didn't motivate me. I have enough money for my needs. Westwood earned more by moving but he'll have few medals or memories to show his kids and grandkids when he's older. All I'm...

Great. That makes you normal not a saint. I do the same. Looking after one's own does not qualify us for any reward.

So why do people add "and my family" ?
