  1. I wonder if we've ever had a manager that the fans didn't ultimately want sacked?
  2. General, I have a question... How come you can buy a Half Season Ticket for the second half of the season but not for the first half? I won't be able to go to most of the games after christmas so I had to give up my season ticket. A First-Half Season ticket would have been ideal! Theoretically there's a risk that people would buy a first half season ticket and then simply not renew it if the team were doing badly (which would be a good reason not to sell them) but you could limit the number of Half Season Tickets to prevent this. Food for thought, at least.
  3. More points than this season. Wherever that takes us.
  4. Let's be honest, it's all a bit far fetched...
  5. i'd rather not publicly tell any of our players that they 'used' to be shite. surely it makes far more sense to sing that he played for the shite, now he's alright? works on many levels for me Yeah, I was kidding...
  6. We could use the "used to be shite" song for Petrov
  7. He used to be shite, But now he's alright, Walkin' in a Heskey wonderland
  8. Technically I agree, but if you think about it Arsenal almost certainly cheated at some point during that run of 50 to win them a game they shouldn't have won.
  9. I quite like the fact that the game of football is pretty much exactly the same at all levels, ages and countries. A veeeeeery very small percentage of the world's football games would have the luxury of video replays whilst the other 99.9999999999999999% were stuck with lady luck. I'd rather keep it how it is. However frustrating that can be.
  10. I love his arrogance, his wit, his attitude. But I don't think he's as good as he thinks. Better than most though.
  11. Out of all the names on that list, I'd have Heskey. We need someone to 'make it stick' when we're under pressure and if Carew isn't around to do it, step forward Emile.
  12. My own theory is that the X-Factor powers that be assumed that Diana Vickers was going to win. They chose Hallelujah as the X-Factor song knowing that her rendition of it was awesome (in my opinion anyway). By the time she was kicked out, it was too late to change the song. Anyway, that's beside the point. I voted Rick Astley because it would be funny.
  13. General (Or anyone else that might know), Who is the guy in this photo holding the phone? Whenever Randy is shown at a game he's either sitting by you, or sitting by this guy. I'm just curious who it is.
  14. This has been in production for years. Jeeez how long does it take??
  15. He came third iirc. lol Noel Edmunds did it too on Noel's House party. Lost a Noel Edmunds lookalike contest.
  16. Owing to Sky TV's unique use of initials to represent team names on their on-screen score display, if Colchester United played Northampton Town, the scoreboard on Sky would read "CU - NT".
  17. That is one of the funniest things I've seen on TV...ever. Paulie: "The guy was an interior decorator!!" Chris : "Huh? His house looked like shit!"
  18. The Sopranos was the greatest TV programme ever made - and nothing even comes close in my opinion. Shame on you for not putting it in the list!!
  19. General, why do Villa's transfers fees tend to be 'undisclosed'? In the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter of course but I'm just curious why that happens in football. Does it benefit the buying or selling club?
  20. Not my place to answer for the General of course but I believe the reason for this is that Nike/Villa set the recommended retail price for a shirt at £45 therefore they have to charge £45 (unless it's on 'Sale'). It would be a bit unfair for Villa to tell every other shop in the world that they should sell it at £45, only to then sell it themselves for £30.
  21. See this is the thing that bothers me. Everyone is absolutely convinced that the asking price is £18 million when really we ain't got a clue. So if in reality the asking price is, say, £17 million and he goes for that, everyone's going to say we're weak or we caved in or Liverpool won because we lowered the price. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter but I can just see the comments from the press, scousers - even Villa fans.
  22. Nobody's tried Acid??? Y'all haven't lived!
  23. Um, the sax player in UB40 is white with ginger hair, name of Brian Travers and a Villa fan Really? I never paid them that much attention TBH. Wasn't his name Astro or something? Could have sworn he played the sax but I'll bow to your superior knowledge on the subject Astro plays various brass instruments occasionally - but not the Sax. So there
