it's def the Torygrpah when I fly , none of this take it from the stand as you walk on the plane , someone irons it and brings it over to me with my glass of bucks fizz ...

I use the internet so don't use newspapers but when i fly BA always give The Telepgraph so I guess thats what i read "most often" what do Easyjet give you when you fly Drat ?

I thought it was the usual Villa this season a la West Ham & Watford where we could have (and should have ) been out of sight but in the end had to settle for a draw. I have to also say that I hope Sheff Utd go down , this long throw and bombardment of the box should have died out with Wimbledon in the 80's ..The Sheff utd team that played us off the park a few seasons back under DOL played with flair and skill ..the current team just made me want to switch channels at time. So on to the match and my TV ratings Taylor 8 Thought he made some vital saves , is improving for his run in the side and it would be interesting to see if Tommy is an automatic return to the team (assuming Taylor isn't himself now out injured) Bouma 5 - I think he's proved beyond doubt he is not the left back for us , out of position too many times and his lack of pace really counts against him in the Prem Cahill 6 - 2 own goals for him but not really a lot he could do about either ... Shows he has some work to do before he becomes Terry's partner in the England back 4 , but he has time Ridgewell 6 - the usual Jekell & Hyde , something good followed by something bad ..he kind of reminds me of Brendan Ormsby in this regard Olly 5 - Showing again that he isn't comfortable as a Right Back , often out of position and his distribution was awful .. Early in the season he was bringing the ball out and pass on the deck , now he's gone back to the big hoof ..move him back to the centre and lets have the composed Olly back Davis 5 - faded as the game went on , not sure how he fits into our current squad and the way MON wants to play McCann - 7 more noticable on the TV how much work he did and how many vital tackles he made ..got in where it hurted , keep it up Gavin Petrov - 6.5 the spark that we have lacked for years in midfield , now MON just needs to keep working on how we get the best out of him Gaby - 4 not really a threat , not really in the game (not all his fault) his pace may eb a threat but yesterday the ball seemed to get stuck under his feet ..probably more likely to be a threat as an out and out striker ,I'm sure his time will come but we shouldn't expect too much from him this season Sutton 7 a threat througout the game and a good call by MON to play him over Angel Baros 6.5 looks a bit laboured when running to my eyes , but the goal will have done him good and he put a lot more effort in today Subs not really on long enough to rate I will say I thought Halsey did a great job yesterday , he tried to let play go on wherever possible , he used his common sense on the whole regarding tackles and fouls so a big well done to the referee

and how about if he positioned himself correctly and made a challenge and won the ball ?? it was bad becuase he decided to play the man and not the ball and then thought of the repercussions and pulled out .. great run by Distin and not having a go at Ridgewell here I just doubt you will see a worse example of defending all season

My ratings : Stuart Taylor - 6 – started positivly when coming out for a cross , does tend to parry a lot of shots though . some good saves but I also felt maybe , just maybe he could have done better with the barton goal ?? Olof Mellberg - 5 – Vassell seems to give him the jitters and he never looked comfortable Liam Ridgewell - 4 – the worse defending i've ever seen in the Prem for the Distin goal , a night to forget for Liam Gary Cahill - 6 – This guy is going to going to be better than John Terry , does seem to look as though he finds it all to easy at times and switches off a bit , almost the same thing that Rio Ferdinand is often guilty of ..now lets move Ollie back into the middle with him and give Villa a aprtnership to conquer Europe with Wilfred Bouma – 4 – it's no secret I don't rate Bouma .. this performance showed why Gabriel Agbonlahor - 4 – gave us nothing tonight , not the lads fault , just RM doesn't really suit him Gavin McCann - 5 – wasn't in the game for the first hour , then scored and played like his early season form . Stiliyan Petrov - 5 – really want him to be a big big player for us , didn't show enough last night to suggest MON has find the right role for him yet(hint he can play RM) Gareth Barry – 5 – probably the worse I've seen him play for years Milan Baros – 4 – will be gone in the new year ..a shame as I think he could have been good for us Juan Pablo Angel - 4 – his best work as always was being done around the half way line with some nice touch play , a good link up player , but not what we need and another player who may be under threat coem Jan Substitutes: Steven Davis – 5 - briefly helped us rally until Distin made the game safe thought City played some nice slick football today.. kind of how we started the season with the ball on the deck .. last night for some reason we decided to aim it pointlessly in the air ... and watch it come straight back at us . Our brief rally where we made City look average was when we played the ball on the floor and kept possession .... a lesson to be learnt me thinks Under Ellis we would have been worried as we knew it wouldn't get any better , at the moment we are all just hoping we can stay in touch until Jan and then push on with the new signings ..let's just hope those new signings match our dreams ...

I agree and I'm sure we only signed Sutton cause MON is not convinced by Baros and his attitude and therefore felt we need some cover , Agathe was a kind of stop gap for Milner I guess ..both out of contract and better options (although only just) of MON having to put his boots on turn out for us. Lerner came in too late for Aug deadline , I'm certain we will sign 5 players in Jan with possible only Baros leaving . Who the 5 are i have no idea but i expect it to be 2 strikers , 1RM ,1CB & 1 RB ... the only question being are the players that MON wants going to be available in Jan Keane seems to be one name , is Keane the man to take us to European glory ?? I'd say no but he's getable and will do the job for stage 1 as will the other 4. Our brand name is still too low to attract the big names , this season is to get us on the map , following season is where we go for World domination

guess Blackbeard regrests having his hideway in Bangkok :-) Treasure hunters diving on the wreck of Blackbeard's flagship have found evidence which suggests the pirate captain could have been suffering from venereal disease. Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge ran aground off North Carolina in June 1718. Among the objects recovered from the wreck is a urethral syringe used to administer mercury into the penis for the treatment of vd. Divers are making their first full-scale attempt to recover artefacts from the vessel since it was first discovered just over a mile off the coast, reports The Times. Previous expeditions have found cannon, grenades, platters, flecks of gold, wine bottles and hundreds of ballast stones that give new clues to the lifestyle of 18th-Century pirates. The period between 1689 and 1718 is known as the Gold Age of Piracy and Blackbeard was perhaps the most notorious pirate of the era, attacking merchant ships off the east coast of America. He is believed to have worn two swords, numerous pistols and knives and a crimson coat. He would take all the possessions of those who surrendered, but burn the boats and maroon the crews of those that did not. It is also believed he would tie slow-burning cannon fuses to his long black hair before battle.

When he comes back find out if we can call him "Chuck" , General just sounds so formal :-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_C._Krulak

Welcome I'm sure you've get everything in hand regarding players and our push for world domination so I wont tell you to sign Ronaldhino and then you can claim it as your own idea when he signs :-) Just one thing I'd like to suggest .. Take a trip to the Ajax stadium and see how they handle half time refreshments .. No excessive queues over there . They use a system of pre paid cards so you place your order and it deducts it from your card , no wasting time in queues waiting for change ... a minor grip i know but the amount of times i miss the start of the 2nd half cause of the queues at half time

you laugh but I had to go to a conference where a poll was shown to gage how market research is perceived by the general public the poll showed "25% of repsondents don't do market Research polls"

well thanks to new law he has to sit in a child seat until he's 12 , so i'm sure he will wear one , but i suspect by the time he can drive the do good anti car lobby will have managed to get the speed limit fixed at 4 mph so he probabaly wont need to wear one

or maybe don't have an accident and then it's not an issue as for it being law , It is illegal to be drunk on Licensed Premises , Any boy under the age of 10 may not see a naked manequin and No cows may be driven down the roadway between 10 AM and 7 PM unless there is prior approval from the Commissioner of Police so UK law isn't the smartest thing known to man

never wear one so cant vote either

from the some what pathetic list :winkold: i went for turkish Delight but Reese's peanut butter cup blows the competion way out the water

:shock: .. Not sure any man should be doing things Greek style

went for money cause I like living an expensive lifestyle but to be honest I've only ever worked in jobs I've liked .. 4 companies in 20 working years .. i wouldn't work at a place if i didn't like it , i'd just walk out as I'm a bit headstrong on things like that

things are starting to happen ...one of the big players has made a move :-) 11:27:56 07-Aug-2006 503.50 10 50.35 Ordinary Trade 10 less shares to get :-)

though If it was sprint training the 2 old ladies would be in front

might be of interest to you wow people According to Symantec, a new trojan called "Infostealer.Wowcraft" is making the rounds. Unlike many malicious programs, however, it makes no attempt to steal your credit card information. Instead, it goes after something much more personal—your World of Warcraft account. The trojan, which is a modified version of a similar piece of nastyware that had already been detected in the wild, installs itself in the startup portion of the registry, disables any running anti-virus software it can find, and launches a keylogger process when it finds any windows labeled "wow.exe," "Launcher.exe," "signup.worldofwarcraft.com," or "www.wowchina.com," the latter being Blizzard's official Chinese web site.

Jam wont reform , too much bad blood ... Foxton's new band The Casbah Club wrote a song that sampled the baseline from "Start " and Weller banned them from using it , (even though he "borrowed" it from Harrison's taxman :-) ) song is called Anyway She moves Me have a listen ..it's not a bad song link is here , it's not breaking any copyright as it's a legit independant artist web site ... http://iacmusic.com/artist.aspx?ID=26519 extra credit if someone can name the other sampled song :-)

If i was a potential buyer i would have waited to see if Villa were going to stay in the prem or not ..if we had gone down then they could have got the club for a far far cheaper price ...now that Premiership football is secure I expect a few more people will take a look at us ....

Henry is the best player in the world by a country mile ..cant believe he didn't win haven't been that impressed with Gerrard this season ..last season Gerrard was awesome but not so much this one

ISn't that last one Bouma's slimmer brother BTW ....

Series 1 was like the Beatles White Album , not everyone got it there are some gems in it Voted Blackadder myself ..series 2 in particular being the stand out ..thought Hugh laurie ruined the 3rd one a bit .. He only wanted to pay 1500 but i manged to beat him a little ... well credit where credit is due , i just named the price it was Baldrick that actully beat him up
