Couldn't tell you for definite, but it could only be a week or so ago I was told we'd sold 400.

Maybe it boils down to what people want to watch in a Football team. I personally love to see someone finding the gaps that Ireland does, with a lot of creativity. Merson used to be my favourite player for example. Ireland's new found graft has added to his game as well. Some people however, love watching players like Chris Herd. I think he's useful but that's not the top of my list. In all fairness, I'm probably spouting absolute sh*t as it is a Friday afternoon, but I'm hoping you can see what I'm getting at!!!!

Did, Baz. Did. Last August nobody liked him. Are you suggesting he won Fans Player of the Year because the fans want him to do well? I don't understand that, I really don't.

How can it mean jack shit? The most votes for any player were for Stephen Ireland? Why? Because he was a class above anyone else in that team, and also added hard work to his game. Was he bollocks, and neither was Barry when he used to turn up to collect his annual award. Seems to me that more people thought he was a class above anyone else in that team, than anyone else that was playing? Or am I missing a trick here? Considering August last year about 90% of Villa fans hated Stephen Ireland, I'd say he must have done something right to play half the season and win that?

You'll be lucky. Some people would still slag him off for a single misplaced pass in a game, even if he ran 80 yards to get the ball back, took on the entire opposition and looped it over the keeper from 30 yards.

Why would he need to take a pay cut for future harmony? Surely the same therefore goes for Bent, who does about 20% of the work that Ireland does, which at the moment has the same result Goals/Assists wise. Very confused as to why you dislike him so much. Usually the sheep that follow into scapegoating, then follow when the vast majority have changed their opinion.

I have it on very good authority that if he performs as well as expected, he will be given a new contract on the same money. We're a lot better off now and can easily afford what he is on and we'd be happy to keep him as one of 3 or 4, shall we say, 'marquee' players.

Or maybe that's the initial allocation and like every other year we'll receive another 1,300 when we sell out?

We were just inside the Penalty Box on the right hand side. I just remember some lad getting thrown into our row by a dark haired bloke who I could have sworn had an away top on (this came from the front). This just before half time. Then they got taken out, the dark haired bloke came back and started speaking to the lads on the other side of the stairs about it. Then he disappeared and the lad who got thrown about appeared 20 mins into second half.

This 'langleylad' thing... Was this the right hand side of the away end about half way back? And did 'The Bloke' have the away top on? I can't remember seeing the name 'langleylad' as I was plastered but something similar happened there.

I bet they love it when you walk into the Villa Shop. :|

That surprises me. I thought we'd have taken half the end for this one!
