and finally they're up and running! a 3 goal win and a clean sheet at Villa Park! only Rotherham I know but i'm not used to this shit. didn't see the news yesterday so James Chester was a lovely surprise; might actually have a proper defence for the first time in 3 years. congrats to NV and calzino too. been a good day.

i rate Chester pretty high, we could certainly do with one or two like him

We play both Villa and Wolves in the next 3. The last time we played Villa is probably in the Pathe archives.

at the risk of blowing my fun new gimmick, i should say that ime Villa fans are not feeling particularly entitled or superior this season and plenty of people are feeling pretty pessimistic about our chances of promotion. we're not Newcastle

Alan Biggs @AlanBiggs1 7hNow hearing suggestions of Newcastle interest in Fernando Forestieri. Ready to pay £12m apparently. #swfc
Rob Staton @robstaton 5hFernando Forestieri NOT in the #SWFC squad vs Norwich. He hasn't travelled.
Rob Staton @robstaton 5hIt's my understanding #SWFC have done everything that could be expected of them regarding this Forestieri situation. He didn't travel.
Dom Howson @domhowson 1m1 minute agoCarvalhal said he and Glenn Loovens persuaded Forestieri to play against Aston Villa. "He changed his mind," said CC. #SWFC #starlive

Sílvio returned to Benfica on 10 July 2013, joining on a season-long move.[13] His spell was again marred by injuries, the most serious occurring on 10 April 2014 in a Europa League quarter-final match against AZ Alkmaar, when he fractured both the fibula and tibia on his right leg after missing the ball and kicking teammate Luisão instead.[14]

Benfica captain Luisao, 35, is reportedly set to sign a two-year deal worth £100,000 a week with Wolves.

lol.
we certainly need at least one central defender, but i'm starting to take these links with a pinch of salt, Talisca is still out there in the contractual ether allegedly. E&S had us competing with you guys for Alfie Mawson yesterday.

we'll have a sizeable dot in there soon enough
i'm chill at the moment because a) what can you do? b) at least one of the loanees already looks excellent and c) hopefully this is a means to an end rather than an endgame
Zenga is v likeable and people are finally getting something to enjoy at the Mol after a really drab 12 months, the rest is in the lap of the most fickle gods in the pantheon

yeah for sure, i mean the watford model is quite sensible in many ways... never know, do well enough and maybe u get to be top of the pyramid
too many more luisao type deals might be of interest to interpol tho

don't really buy the mawson rumour, he's supposedly homesick (hillingdonLAD) so idk what appeal wwfc might have (well let's pretend) but with lynch in we don't need a first choice cb even if caulker does leave. p sure we've also had aaron pierre at wycombe lined up for months too
suspect gossip sites just copy over the names between us now to get irate clicks

If someone would have suggested 4 pts against Villa and Newcastle Utd Away I'd have demanded a steward's enquiry why we haven't got the full six :p No obv not really :p
― calzino, Tuesday, 16 August 2016 20:53 (seven years ago) link
Gollini seems to have had a really great game tonight but whatever it is these players have got seems to be catching. Such a shame, it sounded like there were some very positive vibes around the ground tonight. Ayew with a shot cleared off the line, Tshibola with a header ruled out for offside, should've won it. otoh Nakhi Wells hit the post so i suppose i should be glad enough of the point

I actually have gone through many periods of L1 and L2 nostalgia, as soon as our rich owner snuff's it we'll soon be back there. That much is guaranteed. My favourite promotion campaigns have been from L1/L2 in my lifetime, so I get ya.

It's a sad state of affairs really. Balotelli has been linked to practically any club with a professional license this summer. He's even been named a target for Ajax in faux reporting like that. (they went for Chelsea's Bertrand Traore in the end)
Would love to see Balotelli at Wolves though. Surely it would break the critical barrier of twelve or so EPL ilx posters.
