i bet you're a brummie

I have the unfortunate scenario of working with Trotsky (aka Robathan). Although on different teams now, I worked with him for 2 years until I moved to pastures much quieter. Had the pleasure of being on his domestic Stag doo and attending his wedding reception, that was held in the Black Country Town of Dudley - even after he has the nerve to take the piss out of my Yam Yam accent. Believe me he is just as bad in the flesh.

?????? Yes it is the same Beattie - or where you on about Kevin Beattie, ex of Ipswich. We all wandted Beattie, but that wasn;t the question. Short Term - Phillips Medium / Long Term - maybe James Beattie

Considering thar we have got him for £700k , when 2 seasons ago he cost £3.5M.

What's it about then?

You mean Graham Taylor - the guy that perhaps was the Saviour of AVFC in the late '80s and is one of the reasons that you are watching YOUR club in the Premiership. None of us can argue that his second tenure was a mistake ( and we know who to blame for that), but have some respect - he always talks the Villa up and considers himself a Villa Man. :roll:

Wrong - they largely played together (fnarr fnarr) until Phillips got injured towards the end of the season and they had Camara replace him. I like the disgusting option - 3 people voted for that

Ellis doesn't need the money - it's the prestige that he thrives on. He will continue until he keels over.

Exactly Drat, but judging by some of the views above, I just hope that the Burberry brigade at the back of the Holte End do the same.

Why don't we give Berger and Hughes a chance, or will they take the mantra as the UDLC boo boy award before we even kick off the season

Darius for me - give him someone to play off.

Oasis hands down.

As long as Norwich or Palace stay up I will be happy - I hate Soton and the Baggies - hope both of these buggers drop.

Robben is an awesome player.

What? Lower than the noses? :? No-one is lower than them. :wink: They are at least on a par.

Another vote for Lampard. Good to see that there are 4 Englishman in the finall 6.

Wash your mouth out .. the only the end for the Tesco boys is the road to oblvion. They are the lowest form of life.

Can't believe that anyone would want the Tesco's to stay up they are on a par with Small Heath. END OF Palace for me

Doesn't the software that you install "fool" the xbox when booted in normal that it has a 8GB disk, rather than just an 8GB partition. hence you should be able to play XBOX live. The only way I can think is if the game actually reads the firmware of the disk to see if is actually 8GB. Anyway they are that cheap by another for online gaming

Even better with a 160GB one .. wish I had done it moons ago, as only had mine done recently Top notch machine

But if they are going to change it, then lets make sure that it's traditional rather than drop out that purple garbage they put out a couple of years ago - along with that stripey rubbish also.

Remember Gareth Williams who used to play for us in the late 80's ( left back). broke thru into the 1st team and had some good games - me and my mates used to call him Gripper Stepson(?), because we thought that he looked like the bully off Grange Hill. Whatever happenned to him!!!

Agree with that. Oh, and welcome to VT Lee. Thanks Bud Up the Villa !!!

I think they may be confusing his first term with his second, but if his first term was included in this poll he'd be my number one choice because he did more for Villa than any other manager since. How he managed to turn around the sinking ship that was Aston Villa, get us promoted with a bunch of journey men (with a couple of gems as well) and turn us into title challengers was beyond me. He's a Villa legend and always will be because of what he did for us, I just wish he hadn't of blotted his copy book when he came back for the second time, but still who in their right mind would turn down the Villa job if offered? Too right AVFC1982 - the return was a mistake, but if it wasn't for GT we could have been wiped off the map. Ellis has a lot to thank this man for, and so do all Villa Fans.
