The ultimate power trip. To have control of life and death over your followers. But it's all god's will, so hey ho!

Having read through most of this now, I can see what has happened. Someone has googled the web to defend anything said about them. Fair enough. A bit like those men who shadowed the BBC reporter everywhere some months back. I do like the idea that the media are the manipulators, not the religious leader. I would err to the side that both are the manipulators, one for entertainment, one to create his own fiefdom.

I'm dumbstruck by all this.

Yes, I expect there to be life. But none that can travel the huge distances between or within galaxies. Evolution is a very slow process, so to get that advanced something odd would have to happen.

No. I'd rather have a summer training and tactics camp for two weeks. Or an England v England B international. Waste of utter time. The only reason it will likely happen is so the FA can get their hands on more revenue.

This ones going to run and run!

It is also possible that we have only shown interest and not made an approach. His comments are not about thinking of a Villa offer, but thinking of his future.

You are very, very aggressive today. I think the reference you missed was the "season ticket holder". People who watch games week in, week out. I don't profess to know much about many players because what highlights packages I see on TV, West Ham and Spurs would be Champs League, Villa relegated, and Stuart Downing the new Maradona.

I think West Ham fans needed a scapegoat last season, found him and will not acknowledge that it was a team effort that kept them up, not just Tevez. And remember - one word - Mascherano. Utter crap at West Ham. Excellent at Liverpool. Some players excel under different conditions. And whilst at it. Everyone I spoke to at a wedding yesterday reckon Bent is an accident waiting to happen for whoever pays the inflated price. As most were Arsenal season ticket holders, they are hoping he goes to Spurs.

Well, if all goes according to plan expect: West Ham fans - Parker is brilliant, Villa and Newcastle are mugs Newcastle fans - Barton is brilliant, West Ham and Villa are mugs Villa fans - Re0-Coker is brilliant, West Ham and Newcastle are mugs

If Parker leaves, I can see Barton go to Newcastle. He just seems the type to go for the biggest wage packet, which I'm sure Newcastle will continue to do. That aside, is Barton a reasonably disciplined player on the pitch?

So if I find a designer that says opposite will you "grasp" what he says? Do people really, really believe that a board containing an exec who is CEO of one of the biggest sports marketing companies out there will throw something together? Granted, I don't give a damn about design or advertising (advertising I despise) but to use the design of a badge for more one-upmanship (not a real word I think) between villa fans is frankly insane. This is not aimed at you jamaica, but at all sides of the "argument".

A good article and interesting. I don't mind the new crest bar a few small things. And I csn see why they did it, but its good to have a reply with more weight than "it's designed by a 10 year old". The Star?? I like to think that the Lion is reaching for another European Cup success i.e. ambition. As I say, I'd like to think that. And I doff my hat to anyone who can make hundreds of morons queue for hours for a Kate Moss label. We really are a nation of idiots who follow everything the media tells us to do. So, I have jumped on the bandwagon http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220108526125

It has set a precedent for the future. Any team at all can now play an ineligible player and if docked points take the FA to court. Swindon were sent down because of a previous managers dodgy dealings, not the manager at the time.

Källström is not a better player than Gareth Barry, trust me I have seen and followed him since he was about 16 years old and broke into Häckens first team (did you know that "Häcken" translated to english is "the Ass".... It´s true ) Kim Källström is a great player, but no way I would pick Källström over Barry. Did he play for Djugarden (spelled wrong) and a good prospect some years back?

This is exactly the reason Man Utd have shipped so many goals this season and are doing crap.

That would be hilarious. Also to see Newcastle go down as well, both of their wage bills would screw them in the championship and also losing all of their good players as well Don't say that, you'll be told off for disrespecting other clubs.

Damn your posts are so depressing, lighten up there is still plenty of transfer window left!! Its probably still dark most of the day up there in Sweden. My Scandy mates say it can drive you mad...or to drink.

prefer chow mein myself Korean footballer/Chinese meal. Don't see the connection myself. Care to elaborate? Oh lighten up. That goes for everyone not just you. There's the Man Utd song about Park... Park, Park, wherever you may be, He eats dogs in his own country...

honestly yess I do. I suppose the idea is to see who is getting dropped from their teams as December makes its course. Or who gives emotional applause to the fans at the end of December.

And they've said they'll go elsewhere if they don't get Villa.

Whilst I'm open to hearing what others interested in running Villa have to say, I must admit I find AV06, even with their promised millions, unprofessional. "We are solely interested in strengthening the team..." Bad, bad, PR. So you're not interested in marketing, infrastructure, the future? "As regards Lerner, so many questions remain unanswered." As regards to AV06 not one question has been answered. If they are that professional, they should get a decent PR person involved. Everything they say has holes in it. Of course this could be to do with not wanting to reveal their plan until a bid is accepted.

All depends where the £70 million comes from. If its a loan, no thanks.

Don't agree otherwise every news paper would be full of racist, bigotted crap!

I think the way that D'OL is bigging up the Phillips/Angel partnership we may not be getting a striker. But saying that, there's been more smoke layed the last few weeks than in the entire Battle of the Atlantic.
