Wasn't the first game though because it was the day England won the Ashes, further into September.

pretty sure it was the after the international break

Correct.

12 September 2005: West Ham 4 (Harewood 3, Benayoun) Aston Villa 0.

5th game of the season.

League commish will need to send you an invite via e-mail if there is any spots left.

No worries, I'll wait it out and see if I get lucky.

How do I join?

That's for the suggestions everyone. I'll check them out.

I'd just like to avoid a period where we cop Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City, United etc in the space of 5-6 games. Seems to have happened 2-3 seasons in a row now.

It might be nice to actually see some villa shirts in the shops over here.

I saw a few in Melbourne when we were with Nike & doing well. As soon as we began to slide down the table we disappeared.

Has always shitted me the amount of West Ham stuff I see over here compared to Villa.

Hope Holman is a big success, though, he will put Aston Villa on the map in Australia, possibly for the first time (football is bigger here since the Bosnich days).

Be nice to see a few people walking around in Villa shirts with Holman on the back as opposed to all the Everton (Cahill) & Liverpool (Kewell) I see.

To be honest I don't think he had a lot of competition this season.

I'm up for it if there is room for me.

What websites do the Browns fans on here use for Browns specific news?

I've been reading Dawgs By Nature but I was wondering if there were any better alternatives.

I'm not sure what was more depressing. Living through it in real time or reading this thread...

Hopefully brighter times ahead.

Good luck to Lambert, hopefully he'll be able to pull us out of the pit of despair we are currently in.

Oh and credit to Faulkner for taking advantage of a loophole in his contract instead of paying through the nose like we have been for players/staff.

Hi Goose! Welcome

Hi Tegis, thanks! New season can't come soon enough!

LOL, that's fantastic.

For Aussie Villains Makoun has been named in the squad for Olympiakos' friendly against Melbourne Victory on Saturday night. Mellberg has also been included.

Browns fan here due to the obvious connection. Hoping the additions of Weeden & Richardson can get the offense going this season! I could handle the losses a bit better if we could at least be a bit more entertaining and put some points on the board (same goes for Villa...).
