  1. I think unlike Beye he'll want to play week in week out and also he'd be keen to get back in amongst the Scottish International team. This will likely drag out until the end of the transfer window and the fee if any will be miniscule.
  2. Yes it's a nice style with a great history. I have a few friends who study it, one of whom teaches. Unfortunate that, are you not in Birmingham? How about Shuai jiao, Aikido, Jujutsu, Brazilian Jujutsu are any of these listed around where you live?
  3. And what is so remarkable about that? Considering the catchment area of the 'Second City' PL surely would not be mistaken in trying to harness that.
  4. Choose a martial art; i've been practising since I was a very little kid and at 34yrs now I still find this stuff inspirational. Sure throughout life i've also had things that have held interest such as mountainbiking, the gym and playing a musical instrument (amongst others) but there is nothing that compares to mental, physical and spiritual benefits attributed to studying martial arts. In my humble opinion of course...
  5. I'd pay good money to see Leryn Franco spearhead our attack :shock:
  6. Comfortable top ten finish, however if Bent stays fit he could get us higher. League Cup and FA Cup are a lottery and it depends on the draw but it would be nice if we had some luck for a change in these competitions!
  7. 'Slowly, slowly catchee monkey.' I like this though: What he has done, though, is tell the players exactly what is expected of them on and off the park. He wants good professionalism and 100 per cent commitment. They know the consequences if they don’t.
  8. Based on the name alone we should sign this player...
  9. Malaga are Qatari owned but they're not the oil-rich Qataris like at PSG.
  10. ^ Handbags at dawn again on VT... Anyway, Collins is likely to score from a set-piece now; gentlemen place your bets!
  11. It's a friendly it doesn't have to be. Fair play, I guess it's all about game time as the Americans would say. I hear Herd's CB tonight?
  12. So our back four is: Herd---Baker---Stevens---Lichaj Not really very experienced is it?
  13. The Man With the Golden Gun is also excellant. Christopher Lee was Ian Fleming's nephew and really wanted to be part of a Bond movie.
  14. It's too tough to limit this at three... Yes new Bond is highly polished but I grew up with Roger Moore so he'll always be my favourite! People said he was too campy but there were elements of his character which went against that stereotype; especially For Your Eyes Only which showed Bond as closely resembling the character from the novels. A working top three could be as below (however I change everytime I see a Bond movie) - The Spy Who Loved Me license to kill Goldeneye Skyfall could well be awesome from the looks of it.
  15. I wonder if Bannan and Holman will be fighting it out for that spot?
  16. I think Albrighton is a poor player - who happened to have a good few games for us. I remember a few games where he's plyed very well; one of note was the 2-2 draw against Man Utd where he was unplayable. Albrighton has played over sixty games (only starting 41) and he has 9 goals and 8 assists. That's good figures for a player still very inexperienced. I also think his crossing is very good. I wish people would lay off him, if he reads this his confidence will drop or he'll just leave and be a success somewhere else!
  17. Awesome movie...whatever happenend to Nick Coppola after such an illustrious beginning to his acting career?!
  18. Regarding the renovation of the ground whether that is the North Stand or possibly Witton Lane I think the potential is massive. Corporate facilities, museum and even a leisure centre/gym etc would all bring in huge revenue. For instance Villa's corporate facilities are already widely regarded as being some of the best in the PL and we could capitalise that even further. The museum would be of interest to old and new fans plus the many visitors we have on stadium tours or who visit Villa Park for the first time. Personally I don't live in England anymore and people are always asking me about Villa and when I'm taking them to a match! Finally Gym and leisure centre memberships are through the roof and surely this would be a great investment; I think people would fall over themselves to have membership of an Aston Villa gym or leisure centre.
  19. I maybe a bit late here but did anyone notice Leryn Franco and her entrance with the Paraguay team last night? Think I possibly will watch a little of the ladies javelin competition! :winkold:
  20. GG's wiki page has him at 6ft 2in tall; supposing he bulks up a little he could be a real powerhouse of a midfielder in years to come. As has been said earlier he does need games to shine and hone his craft.
  21. Somehow I'm not the least bit surprised about this retort...there must be some cartoons on? I genuinely don't know why you're so angry about this. I think he played one of the Zombie extras and you missed the psychological distress of having no morality that he so subtly but superbly portrayed Oh look it's one of the clique arrived to save the day! I can see what you're getting at but you have no idea at how to compose a sentence.
  22. When you stated that the programme wasn't well-scripted I addressed the themes of psychologial, philosophy and the moral implications moulded into the fabric of the protagonists via script and dialogue. If the programme was terribly scripted they would not discuss these issues and instead possibly discuss much more trivial matters. Philosophy and the whole moral question is paramount to the programme and this could have been up to the viewer to draw their own conclusions and indeed it is but the characters are also discussing these matters through the script which brings the writing to the forefront. Somehow I'm not the least bit surprised about this retort...there must be some cartoons on?* *Only joking 'Stevo' :winkold:
  23. I think any Zombie TV show keen to talk psychological, philosophical and social commentary is fairly unique not wholly but it is sufficient enough. Endless cliches? It is a Zombie TV show after all. However there are a few twists and as yet the viewers are still in the dark about many aspects of how, why etc. Now a cliche would obviously use aforesaid plot and scenario from other media in this ilk but we are yet to know full details... So i'm not allowed to debate with you and bring forth material as to why you are incorrect based on the aforesaid script incorporating characters and their symposium on moral obligation, philosophy and such forth? Argument, point of view, debate they are all interchangeable words to denote the nature of our communication upon this subject Again, please note I am not ear-marking The Walking Dead as a piece of TV history like The Sopranos but I think you do it an injustice to say the script is poor considering the range of topics covered etc. FWIW, the end of Season 2 redeemed itself as the beginning of the season seemed to be heading for overplaying the morality of the situation and the consequences of the characters and their actions.
