"The Ron Saunders Stand" for me. Without him where would we be? If not how about for the time being "The stand formerly known as the **** ***** Stand" or "The Scottish Stand" as the present name should not be mentioned in the same way as that Scottish play is not? :winkold:
-
Saunders was the one for me and as a midfield player Platt scored as many as most of our strikers in this period.
-
A big no for me, I also think it will be a no for next month as well. Prove me wrong please...
-
By this I take it that you are referring to his signing a cheque (if he has his master's OK to do so) for some Swedish insect spray Ryu (something our incapacitated CEO was so reluctant to do). :winkold:
-
If the shares are trading at £4 and the offer is £45m would he not get nearer £16m at face value? I have gone for £80m + as I think he will ask for a sum that will make any takeover a none runner as it did last time and if it did go ahead any money potential buyers would have that would otherwise have gone to building the squad would end up in his back pocket instead. Prove me wrong Mr Chairman and do the right thing for the club, for your family and for yourself. £24m would not be a bad reward for what you have achieved since 1982 would it?
-
How about our chairman signing over the club to Ray Ranson?
-
And I think the phrase might start to sound a bit hollow next season as they could well be joining us again next season and no doubt out spending us in next summer's transfer window as well.
-
Every chance at the WBA and Manchester United games. :winkold: For us the transfer window is over, still at least we are not Leeds!
-
Or Ken Weldon? Come to think of it, given what they did to the particular clubs they did it to, then are we not in their debt? :winkold:
-
Where is the "another chairman" option? Because without one, we won't be getting the other options.
-
Ellis heard someone other than himself had made a decision!
-
Ryan Taylor looked a very good right back for Tranmere last night, almost a one man show. As they will be staying where they are (following his penalty miss) Brian Little might be tempted to cash in at the sort of figure we could afford. I wonder whether we have been looking at him?
-
Have you spotted the Chairman's master plan?
-
We have lost Hitz already and this is another contract negotiation that has been put on the back burner for way to long. We can't afford to lose another player or what money that is made available this summer will be spent on replacing players that have left our squad rather than on building upon it.

Should Villa change their badge back to the round one?
John replied to NibblyPig's topic in Villa Talk
I'm with Eston 21 & AVFC 82 on this one, so is that 3 votes for the badge that used to be on the Trinity? -
Is that what I'm using then TRL? I thought it was my radio..
-
1957 that really is old. Too young to watch our last FA Cup Final win (although I'm told the pram was placed in front of the TV) but old enough to have been at Rotterdam for the 1982 final and in Anderlecht for the semi. Being old does have those consolations. :wink:
-
Andy Gray would have run him close if he had been an option. But, I would have still gone for Brian (walks on water) Little.
-
I have gone "no" but possibly those who voted "yes" want him to take a permanent holiday? :wink: I hear he's borrowed Robert Maxwell's boat and plans to swim with the fishes on his way down under before playing in the Australian Open. Apparently he is confident of turning over Tiger Tim as well, he's like a son to him you know!
-
I'm anti-Ellis and used to play centre half, rather than on either wing. :wink:
-
You took the words right out of my mouth - with apologies to Meatloaf.
-
As things stand and as long as no other club bids over £6m then Beattie will join us, as long as we can match his wage demands as no doubt other bidders would be prepared to do and as long as Southampton will sell an unhappy player for less than they really want for him. And that's assuming Liverpool don't get in for him before we have finalised the deal, so we can't afford to hang around then folks! Will it happen? For some reason (namely our chairman), I very much doubt it! :oops:
-
Has to be the ref for me. If he had given the goal and that's what it was we would be in the semi's now. It's terrible that Vassell joined Southgate as a Villa player who missed a vital pen, but I could see it coming. Beckham missed the first one as well, so he must take an equal share for that part of our exit, as must James who looked as likely to stop a penalty as Shilton used to. We could also look at the condition of that penalty spot as well. But, to be honest our midfield did not perform and shoot out's are sadly our usual exit route. A sad end....thanks for nothing ref! :cry:

When Dennis went up to lift the European Cup I was there, I was there...When Dennis went up to lift the European Cup I was there!! I hope those of you that were not get the opportunity to see Olof do the same but one man stands in the way of that and he was not in the way on that night!
