Is Tom the son of Pau Torres? I thonk he must be because I never see the amazing player he adores, I just see a slow defender with no vision.

You are not on your own fluffy, he is and always will be a defender without a clue and no pace.

My uncle actually if you must know ?

How did Flemming of Burnley not get sent off for that elbow into Buendia's face.
The ref didn't even give a free kick. Surely VAR should have had a look.

Hi, I think what is really annoying about villa and it’s player recruitment policy or lack of is the fact we never bring through any academy players.
The last player to come through was Ramsey who once he got fit was sold, before that it was Jack. Barry was talked about by Klopp as the next Vardy, he went on loan and most people thought he would be at least in the squad but no, farmed out again probably to be sold. Fin Aziz went to M’boro to get experience but then sold for next to nothing. The same with Kaine Kesler Hayden.
You look at Man City, when they are playing well they have some academy players in the squad, look at Foden, McAtee, Rico Lewis, Oscar Bobb, Nico Reilly and the list goes on, and when they do sell they sell for good money not 2 and 3 million.
You have to ask what the point of our academy is if no players progress to the first team. The worrying thing is that parents see no progression so at 16 our kids who have been with Villa from 7 and 8 are poached by other clubs.
Villa seem to ignore our kids and buy from Europe, loan them out again and then sell for little or no profit, what is the point?
Garcia, will he replace Cash, doubtful, the other lad the Czech lad was loaned back then sold for what we bought him for.
Rant over, sorry it’s been long and winding.

Why is club debt never taken into account when the fair play figures are calculated?
The latest figures show that Spurs are nearly 1billion in debt yet have spent in excess of 200million, Everton with the new stadium are about 500 million in debt yet have spent 85 million.
They are not the only ones, even Brighton had 300 million debt.
The cost of servicing the debt each year should surely be taken out of the 105 million 3 year loses or it is just a farce.
Perhaps it is time clubs were treated as businesses or every club was told how much could be spent and it was the same for all.

If you are not 100% certain you just guess, that appears to be what VAR does, totally corrupt. If not 100% sure you should go with the onfield decision, but I didn't think the job of VAR was to check throw ins.

Hi Shew, don't know if you watched the Man Utd v Fulham game? Utd given a pen which never was, VAR ruled no penalty but then decided to re referee the game by giving a free kick outside the box. United scored of course.
The Villa game the same, the guy running the line gave nothing the ref gave nothing but then VAR decided they were the Ref and without 100% proof ruled it out.
Perhaps we don't need the old fashioned linesmen, they don't give offsides, they now can't make decisions on throw ins.
The authorities won't be happy until the top six are the top six again.
I don't suppose we will hear about the case against Man City any time soon.
Rant over.

Hi Scotty, Tom forgot the Torres mistake that cost us the Everton game.
30 Jan 2026 08:24:42
Hi Tom you do talk some rubbish. Mings made the run to get to the ball and made a good header to score. When talking of brain farts you will find all players have them, didn't the Torres brain fart cause a defeat against Everton?

To be honest I would rather keep Malen than lose him to buy Gallagher. Malen is starting to play the manager wants and fits in with our style of play. Gallagher might be a reasonable player but is he better than what we have already?
