The amount of insane overreactions to today’s game, drawing massive conclusions about every signing we’ve made, player we’ve got, and De Zerbi…
Will hopefully be pretty funny to look back on when we’ve played more than ONE GAME.
There are many reasons to love this country. One* of them is a station announcer who always says “the next train to arrive at platform one” for a station that has…one platform.
*Another is Robert Smith

Tottenham earn over 100mil more per year in revenue than Villa.
They also spent less per year in wages than Villa. Roughly 20mil less.
And again, Villa didn't HAVE to sell Konsa. They decided to because he wanted to leave.
They didn't HAVE to sell Tielemans or Digne, they choose to put release clauses in their deals.
They don't HAVE to sell Watkins. If he goes it's because they've decided to cash in on an ageing, declining striker.
They got 117mil for an 80mil player in Morgan Rogers WHO WANTED TO LEAVE.
The level of victimhood we're seeing from Villa and Newcastle fans, two teams relegated in the last decade, because they're being foodchained by bigger clubs who have more to offer players is genuinely insane.

I’ve been asked by a few people about The Cure T shirt I wore on BBC News a bit earlier. It was designed by Marianne, who attends the Superstars centre in Worthing. Superstars provides creative projects for people aged 18+ with learning disabilities.
It’s a fab T shirt, as is Marianne, as is @thecure and you can buy them from here 👇

Listen carefully and perhaps you can hear the sound of wine glasses being clinked in celebration in Chelsea’s boardroom.
It’s some result for them if you consider the scale of offending – financial chicanery, dodgy deals, cheating, whatever you wish to call it – that was brought before the Football Association without, ultimately, leading to anything more than a £10million fine.
There will be no points deduction, in other words, for the secret payments in the Roman Abramovich era that, rather awkwardly, helped to put Chelsea into such a position that £10m is the kind of money inside Stamford Bridge to be shrugged at. Because, as we all know, if there is one way to punish a £2.5billion behemoth such as Chelsea, it is to fine them the equivalent of what they might pay one first-team player in wages per season.
It is hard to figure out how the appeals board could overturn the verdict of the independent regulatory commission, namely that Abramovich’s Chelsea had sought, and gained, a sporting advantage.
Because, well, just think about it for a second. What other reason was there if not to get an advantage? Chelsea, lest it be forgotten, won three Premier League titles and their first Champions League during the relevant period.
We can safely assume that Manchester City, facing 115 charges relating to alleged financial breaches between 2009 and 2018, will have been taking a keen interest in what has happened to Chelsea and, in particular, the absence of any sporting sanctions.

An offshore company controlled by Roman Abramovich paid £6m to Eden Hazard's agent, and the Club paid £1m that was undisclosed.
According to both the Premier League and the FA, there was no sporting advantage to a career at Chelsea for Hazard (who did not benefit financially from these payments).
Purchase price £32m
Sale price £130m
Appearances 352
Goals 110
Assists 92
During that time
2 x Premier League titles
1 x FA Cup
1 x League Cup
2 x Europa League
@FreddyLA7 If you go to the TX State Fair you should try to see the OU-TX football game. One of the biggest rivalries in CFB and always played at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas during the State Fair in early Oct. Tickets are expensive and hard to come by but worth it. Stadium split 50/50.
CLUB STATEMENT
The club would like to address rumours circulating on social media regarding unacceptable behaviour following today’s game away to Seaham Red Star.
After a brief investigation, we can confirm that Billingham Town supporter Phil Smith has received a lifetime ban from the club and has been reported to the Northern League, The FA and Cleveland Police.
Although we are delighted to see Town win, and appreciate that celebrations can occasionally go a little too far, ordering a strawberry daiquiri in a pub, with the lads, on a matchday cannot—and will not—be tolerated.
Furthermore, to ensure the club does not encourage similar behaviour in future, lager tops will no longer be served in the clubhouse.
The club considers the matter closed.
