4chan are claiming that they made up the #watersportsgate report that is now being reported as genuine intelligence. Seems someone on there made it up, sent it to an anti-Trump reporter (Rick Wilson) who in turn passed it on to the authorities and now it's being taken seriously. Hence Trump's rebuttal of it as fake news. Rick Wilson has tweeted to deny that he was duped or that it's come from 4chan, and some media sources have dug around on 4chan and not found anything concrete to suggest that it did originate from there. The plot thickens. I really want it to be true though!

You're doing well. Our nipper is in one of the more affordable nurseries near us and it's around £350 a month for 3 mornings per week.

I can imagine that would change the mood of the room pretty quickly...

He looks like he might be having a stroke.

Looks like a picture from a barber shop window!

Lovely effort from Gidman.

His head is very wide at the top, and I fear his chosen style only exacerbates the issue...

Back in the days before average footballers would swarm to Toni and Guy, some of them still had their hair cut by their parents...

Andy Gray looks like Lion-o from Thundercats

Why do they bother with the computer generated faces for regens? They're terrifying...

With the links to Henri Lansbury and his remarkable man-bun, and with Amavi and Bacuna already sporting more tramlines than Snow Hill, are we entering a new golden era of hairstyles at Villa Park? As a kid, the summers were filled with three moments of excitement - new signing, new kit, Tony Daley's new lid. So this thread is a chance to post your favourite (or least favourite) Villa barnets, from Andy Lochhead's half-a-combover to Nigel Callaghan's spikes to Kevin Gage's mullet. Have at it!

Laursen and Mellberg. One arrived here from Milan, the other left here for Juve. Might be a while before we get to say that again about any of our players.

I wouldn't trust that shitty rag to tell me the right time.

Imagine going for a pint with Mark Lawrenson and Danny Murphy. Monotonous boasting with no attempt to engage in anything insightful.

Tish > our other midfielders

Our passing at times is dire. People can knock Bruce for the standard of our football, but the quality just isn't there.

A ceaseless appetite for craft beer and carbohydrates.

The 12th Day of Crapness, and another gift from Paul Lambert. Even in his best days he wouldn't have been good enough for us, but we signed him on loan when he was past even that. Fat, slow, no composure. None of the qualities you'd want in a striker. Yet this guy had them all. The only positive is that his surname was Villa related. I'm signing off with Grant Holt...

It'd certainly take our Meinhoff how bad Gardner and Westwood are.

I've definitely had second thoughts on Scimeca. He did always try, and went on to have a good career really. I always felt he just wasn't anywhere near the standard of central defenders he was playing alongside, and was too slow. He was far better than Richards and post-injuries Okore though I suppose. I'm standing by Leonhardsen though. I tried to find the quote from GT at the time saying he went to watch a Spurs reserve match, saw Leonhardsen on the team sheet and though "I forgot he was still playing" and signed him. Bizarre. A few other names I had on the list were Isaiah Osbourne, Dave Farrell, Simon Dawkins, Carl Tiler, Yacouba Sylla, Salifou (I can't even remember his first name), Emile Heskey, Alan Lee, Fabio Ferraresi and David Ginola.

Cheers mate. It was a labour of love, but I enjoyed it. In some ways it was easier than the crap thread. We perhaps have had more crap players to pick from than great ones!
