Lombardo

It was going to be JAR (the place that used to be Ciapellis). Very nice in there now.

Where is that Risso? Going over with the missus in March so will probably head out for dinner one of the evenings....

It's all falling into place now... I think I saw you alright Yillan...

Our newest signing.

Ahhh.... The Michael to Mike thing hadn't sunk in yet...

No I didn't see him nor Lichaj nor Herd as I was in the Pub by 1pm.. Was only in the fun day for about 10 minutes.. Wasn't that much to keep us there.

Oh, went into the family fun day thing in the academy, they had a life size John Carew on the wall

Why did they have a Stoke player in there?

And did you see Mike Bradley?

Who is Mike Bradley?? :?

I knew I could sense a Yillan around me somwhere over there but as I didn't have a clue what you looked like, it failed miserably... Eye contact should have been made... It would have been the highlight of my trip...

Oh, went into the family fun day thing in the academy, they had a life size John Carew on the wall with a question beside it, are you taller than Big John... I stood beside it and I was.... Epic!

So you were unaware of all of this?

We stood outside a bathroom/wudu together. Then waited for the airport shuffle together. Then got onto the same carriage together. And sat across from each other (together).

I really do live inside my own head. You were wearing a red jacket. Your friend I think had an English accent and was unshaven. He had black hair and was considerably shorter than you. Am I close?

I would say that was me alright! He had a Dublin accent though and was smaller than me. I had a Black jacket on with large red stripe down the side. You probably did see me. You should have spoken up!

I do not feel good at all. :x

Is that because we didn't meet? And now you may have missed your chance forever?

I did on the other hand stand and sit very close to Lombardo. I'm guessing it was Lombardo. He was a giant and seemed vaguely familiar and was around the airport after our flight landed and was with one male accomplice, possibly his friend.. I had to try to imagine what the person I saw would look like blurry and I'd say it was almost definitely him.

No introductions were made and I refused all attempts at eye contact.

Yes, not meeting you completely ruined the game. I was waiting with a bag of MnMs as well.

That and the fact despite spending very little, I got very drunk and my leg really really hurts.

Soooooo, nothing was thrown, no pictures were taken, and no love connection was made. WOW! I mean talk about your let downs.

Aaaw no bromantic cuddling? :cry:

I barely watched the match at all looking for any sign of a green hoody, but no joy. I think Liverpool is my next game, so fingers crossed...

I said green COAT not hoody!

A big VT welcome to "VIAGRASAMPLES"

Send some over here please, for purely research purposes of course

Surely you know already to just give Rob a call? No?

Just in case anyone spots me tomorrow, this is what I look like - I'm the one on the right.

I remember your Rogues Gallery picture so I will probably recognise you. And more than likely scream "YILLAN" at you and throw handful of peanuts at you.

Please do that to me... I love Peanuts so I do!

Yeah, he likes custard pies aswell

Custard Pies?? You've lost me now Brian....

The OS says that there isn't a tour on Saturday... That the only place you can find them or are they managed from anywhere else?

The only one I haven't been in is the North Stand.

I'm in the Trinity Rd - B2. Was going to book the Holte, but said I'd take a seat in the Trinity, haven't been in the Trinity for years...

Do they do stadium tours on a matchday?

Yep that's the one! Ryanair I presume?

No Aer Lingus . l **** hate Ryanair !!!

Snob!! :winkold:

Word removed for sure... The amount of times I have said that in publc and the bemused looks on people's faces is quality.

It seems everyones over for this game - Yillan's supposedly coming over. Is this some sort of irish Villans day out?

The keys to the asylum were left out in the open.... We broke free.

Yep that's the one! Ryanair I presume?

I'm over for the game on Saturday with a mate. Am only over for the day and the flight over is at crazy o clock on Saturday morning from Dublin... Anyone any idea's as to what to do in the morning apart from going on the lash for the day? Do they do tours of VP on a matchday?

I'm over for this game... Better be a good win.

In fairness, didn't Ged say the same thing the day before we put a bid in for Bent?

Pires!!!! haha

The worrying thing is, I could see whoever wins this game to go on and win the whole thing...

Arsenal are very shaky of late and I don't think they would like to come up against a bunch of inbreds in the final....

I think Arse will field a strong side, pretty much nailed on first trophy in 5 years.

Bet Wenger is salivating at the thought of lifting the Mickey Cup :?

We were last year!!!!

I'm the same height or taller than 6 of the Villa players in VP yesterday.

I'm shorter than all of the Villa players who played yesterday, if only Bannan had been brought on :cry:

I'm taller than all of the Villa players on the pitch at the weekend! In fact when Curtis Davies saw me he said, jesus, you're tall!

That's my claim to fame....

People are being very harsh on Petrov IMO. I thought he balanced us well today. He didnt do anything spectacular, but that's not his job. He was a calm head. Yes, I think Makoun will do a better job than him but he was no way the worst player on the pitch today.

Downing was shockingly bad. He made so many bad decisions today. He had chances to move the ball out wide on several occasions but chose the more difficult ball most of the time and failed every time. I can't see anyone buying him now. He does not really make me feel confident when he is on the ball. Always almost giving the ball away.

Gabby should be kept up front where he can do damage. He looked far more effective when he was moved up when the Fonz came on.

Carew. Sell him soon, or else we will be claiming him on a scrappage deal. He had the chance today to win back some support but his touch has gone from being good to abysmal. He should have scored on numerous occasions. Annoying that he has gone downhill so quick.

Back 4 look alot more solid. Think it could be because of Petrov's return. Dont think its any surprise that we have looked more of a unit since he came back.
