Eames

I feel like I've woken from a coma to find everyone in space cars and jet boots.

I couldn't disagree more. Think back to last season. When did our charge to safety occur? When Sherwood was appointed? No, we suffered two or three disappointing defeats after his appointment. Was it when we beat Albion twice in a week? Yes, it was. Those wins gave the team confidence, and created a great atmosphere around the club. Beating Birmingham will do the same. On the other hand, losing to them, especially losing through stupid mistakes and amateur hour performances, will badly damage team confidence. Look, normally, at home in the third round of the League Cup, against lower-league opposition, I would never suggest a full-strength side. But this isn't a normal fixture, and Sherwood knows that (just read his quotes on the tie if you don't believe me). He also knows that losing this game would be a quick ticket to sections of the support turning on him, or at least becoming disillusioned. Trust me, there's no way we'll play a significantly weakened team in this fixture. None whatsoever. I hope your right mate but sherwood is unpredictable you never know But your are right if sherwood loses this the fans will turn on him The "the fans" are an unbridled collection of idiots.

No way we should play a full strength team. This result is a no win situation for Villa anyway. **** it and **** them. It doesn't matter. 3pts the weekend after means everything.

what if they've taken loads of pictures at the Swedish sun tanning teams open day ? After much consideration I feel my earlier statement was a little rash. Your wife showed me the pictures. I'd say the rash is quite significant...... I'd have it looked at if I were you.

There's no way I have. Although it is something I need to improve. Drink addles the brain and all my inside memories are fading. I'm determined to take more. Its amazing how few I have of my brother in recent years.

Berahino isn't coming to Villa. You don't play the games he's playing and act like a massive cock to move from the Baggies to us. He's going somewhere like Spurs.

/ghey

I once uncovered a Paedophile who'd been hiding in my town under an alias for 5 years - with his cupboard under the stairs plastered with Level 5 images of children. That and the lady whose children reported her for shagging the family Labrador. 2 of the reasons why I don't work in Child Protection anymore.

You know they made a third series right?

Yeah but Grealish is "one of us." He has already taken possession of Gabby's "Get Out of Jail Free" Card - noone's told Gabby or Tim yet though.

Is HurrDurr Hodor's US Cousin? "and so its time we handed this AR-15 over to our tame simpleton.....all we know is he's not Hodor, its Hodor's slack-jawed redneck cousin."

Dammit. "Former employee with grudge" was my next guess. US Gun laws are ridiculous. The right to bear arms is ridiculous. Unfortunately there are enough loonies with legally acquired military hardware to make any attempt to curb firearm ownership impossible.

It's irrelevant in terms of football and his career, ability etc. But no-one is criticising him or even judging him (yet). but would you be able to do you job with a clear head every day if you found out your partner was about to reveal your affair? This is probably a big deal in terms of his country and national team mates. footballers aren't robots robots would be cheaper Probably not....but that is the consequence of his actions. It's a different debate to the "should we even know in the first place" debate.

Cooper seems like the best option IMO. Even if her judgement in marrying the appalling Mr Balls is extremely questionable. Corbyn is the heir to Michael Foot's throne. All very sensible and well intentioned but ultimately too nice and too principled to win anything. Andy Burnham is scouse and responsible for PFI in the NHS. Although he would be the best prepared for Armistice Day duties. Kendall is too Blairy.

Lets play a game of FBI Profiler. Shooter will be a white male. 25-45. Bullied at school. Low level white collar job. Hates women. Gun fascination and owns a shit tonne of them.

This sort of shite really pisses me off. Its got **** all to do with anyone else who or what Ayew chooses to sleep with in his private life. I really don't care how much of an arsehole he is. I hope he settles down in the UK and becomes a quality player for Villa.

"Attitudes are Contagious. Mine might kill you"

1st proper LOL in days.

We'll lose. Simple as. I **** hate these games.

Simple fact of the matter is that he shouldn't even be considering it. It's a terrible idea.

Thank you all. You're all lovely. Totally and utterly ghey. But lovely.

My mum and dad split up last year after his second affair in 5 years. Stay away is my advice. Far away. Its their relationship not yours. Do not get stuck in the middle.

Just an update on this. My brother died yesterday aged 29. Thanks for all the kind words guys. I know VT is a hive of scum, villany and degeneracy.....but you really are my scummy villanous degenerates and I'm proud to be one of you. Rest in Peace mate.

They hand them out like sweets with no support, direction or challenge.... its basically heroin.

Sorry to hear that mate. I'm assuming the codeine was from Cocodamol? The only reason I ask is that I had a (relatively mild by comparison) addiction to them a few years ago after a couple of operations in a row got me hooked, and that took me a while to break. Fingers crossed for your brother. Thanks everyone for the kind words It was straight codeine originally for a back injury. Dr prescribed 100 or so pills and then repeated and he's been hooked ever since. He basically rotted his insides having taken it with ibuprofen (neurofen plus) up to 100 tabs at a time for a few years.......
