I’m sure most Aston Villa fans are aware of the current state of play in the battle for safe standing in football.
West Bromwich Albion saw their application rejected by the Government the other week and Tracey Crouch MP blathered her way through some excuses as to why there was neither the evidence to support such a move (Celtic anyone?) nor the desire amongst fans to actually stand.
The latter claim seemed to come from a very small respondent survey carried out by the Premier League itself, and their statement as covered by ESPN is interesting given everything we know about the campaign.

There has been a lot of talk surrounding Jack Grealish’s future over the past week to the extent that Steve Bruce felt pressed into saying something about it before the weekend win over Ipswich.
A £20m move to Leicester has been suggested, but the Sunday People (via the Birmingham Mail) say our no.10 is set on staying at the club even if we remain in the Championship next season.

A lot of thumbs up for this. Although some of the angry reactions were pretty extreme. For me? If we win and the kit doesn’t look like some of the old pyjama monstrosities, I’ll be happy!

Transfer talk. Not convinced on any of it until we know was division we are in to be honest.
