The captain gets it.

Andy Mitten told a lovely story about a few United season ticket holders playing golf in Portugal during the World Cup. United had some warm weather training. At one off the tee boxes they were close enough to the training and started singing the U.N.I.T.E.D song. Ten hag came over and invited them for a few beers with the squad watching one of the World Cup games. Itās the little things make ETH seem like a very decent man.
No matter the level wether itās junior b hurling or under 14 c football if you can get a whole squad pulling in one direction the improvement can know no bounds.
He has everyone working hard for each other and itās paying huge dividend now.

I suspected as much by the cut of those awful array of tattoos he has on himself, but this Garnacho chap doesnāt seem to have much class about him.
The Norwich scarves are put away.

The Barca fans shouldnāt be such precious little bitches.
Copying his celebration, Jesus wept 
A good intermediate match. Reminded me of Tullaroan v Fr. Oā Neillās in the 2020 All-Ireland intermediate hurling final.

@peddlerscross apparently there was an amazing moment in the directors box post game when Erik Ten Hag was being dragged left, right and centre by everyone but made it his business to seek out Kath from reception and gave her a big hug and asked her if she was happy with the performance.

Martin OāNeill played the kids in a Uefa Cup quarter final when at the Villa
Kath from reception is part of the fabric of the club

Heād want to be careful with that type of thing. Was it Tommy Docherty who got sacked by Man United for having an affair with the club physios wife @ChairmanDan? He wasnāt long after winning the 1977 FA Cup final that your uncles attended when all hell broke loose too I think.
You sure? I donāt remember Villa ever reaching a Europa quarter-final under the great MOāN. Possibly a round of 32 tie?
Could be. It was away to a former Eastern bloc club. Really pissed off the faithful who had spent loads to ho there. In fairness to him he gambled on getting into to top 4
John Gregory was manager I think
Iāve googled. Not former but very much current eastern bloc CSKA Moscow. The round of 32 formerly known as the something else
It was OāNeill sent the weakened team definitely

Villa found themselves in 4th around late February a couple of times under Oā Neill. Theyād usually run out of gas and end up in 6th at the end of the season though. A good team with that core of Milner, Barry, Laursen, Downing, Young and Carew etc.
Yes. OāNeill threw the dice and lost. He who dares
Lads trying to question @Plastic_Paddy on the minutiae of Birmingham based football. For shame.
I always have a chuckle about a time we were down there playing a match, and trying to organise another game, might have been Vs Warwickshire, I canāt remember, and one of their lads (I think it might have been one of the healys) saying āfcuk that, Im not playing then, the blues are at homeā in a full Brummie accent. I love a Brummie accent. I may wel be rare, but Iāve never met a Brummie I didnāt like.
