I agree, some companies need to be kept in check. (Neslte and other companies selling baby food where it is going to mixed with bad water being the obvious example) But there seems to be a massive chunk of people who have the opinion that all globalisation and big business is bad. It's not so long ago that Thailand was full of sweat shops with, compared to the Western would be considered appalling. Now I believe they have a GDP comparable to Spain's. It's a part of industrial revolution and needed to attract FDI, without which any under developed country will struggle to grow. And people in these sweat shops may be subjected to what we would consider unacceptable conditions, but who are we to say that working for 10 cents a day is really worse than a child having to work on farm or their family, or worse young girls being sent out to prostitute themselves for a family that desperately needs money. The majority of profit does end up back whatever global corporation has put the FDI in place, but why should that matter if the country t(and the people of that country) are still getting richer than they previously were from it? I believe that globalisation and FDI by large multinational companies has done a lot more for bringing people out of poverty than any amount of charity ever will.

Because all big companies are inherently evil aren't they. Never mind that provide jobs for thousands of people, make massive contributions to the economy where ever they are set up and in many cases spread wealth to poorer areas of the world by outsourcing factories and other parts of the business. They make a big profit so must be evil.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

I don't see why it's seen as such an invasion of privacy / liberties etc. Most countries in Europe have them and no one I know has a problem with that. It's a uniform ID that everyone will have to carry making security much simpler and could well take the place of a passport for at least travel within the EU.

Now that I like! Could catch on if you could get it going.

Didn't he play in midfield (very poorly) for England in the last game at Wembley when England lost to Germany?

Rooney, but had Heskey been fit I would have played him with Owen, with the same logic as Barry gets in ahead of Lampard. I don't feel Crouch brings much to the team (his goals have generally been in friendlies and against sub standard opposition)

Do we need a new chant for Barry now? Barry for England seems a bit out of date now he's an established regular!

Other -Beer. I helps me forget that it's the last of my money. Although of course its not my money, its the banks and the student loan company's. Spent the last of mine quite some time a go.

That does not excuse making poor substitutions and surrendering a 3 goal lead.

General. Are there any plans to extend the capacity of the ticket office? It's great that you are bringing the fans back to Villa Park but it's becoming increasingly difficult to get through to the ticket office on the phone. (Although I should say that once through the staff are always friendly and helpful). Thanks

Yes, still have it, still use it as I have loads of old videos and would take forever / cost a fortune to download all the films or get them on dvd. Obviously anything i get now is either downloaded or on dvd.

Or how about the Browns playing some sort of exhibiton game at Villa Park? Allow us to go and see them?

A teacher asks her class, "If there are 5 birds sitting on a fence and you shoot one of them, how many will be left?" She calls on little Jack. He replies, "None, they will all fly away with the first gunshot." The teacher replies, "The correct answer is 4, but I like your thinking." Then little Jack says, "I have a question for YOU. There are 3 women sitting on a bench having ice cream: One is delicately licking the sides of the triple scoop of ice cream. The second is gobbling down the top and sucking the cone. The third is biting off the top of the ice cream. Which one is married?" Th e teacher, blushing a great deal, replied, "Well, I suppose the one that's gobbled down the top and sucked the cone." To which Little Jack replied, "The correct answer is 'the one with the wedding ring on," but I like your thinking."

My clothes won't stink every morning after a night out so great!

From that list I have a team of: *************Boruc************* Baines Woodgate C. Davies L. Young Kightly Kallstrom Sneijder Wright-Philips **********Bellamy Kone********** Not to bad eh? Especially with any players you like from the current squad to be added to that!

General, I'm delighted to hear this. In years gone by our old chairman would have wanted to get involved and have his say. Our new regime know when not to get involved, they know this is not our problem and are leaving it alone. We can concentrate on our own team all summer. Bravo General!

I think the fine is about right. The deal was done by people no longer at the club, but its enough of a deterent for other clubs. How would we feel if we were punished now for one of Ellis's dodgey deals?

Ridgewell, although Bouma has improved alot to.

Thanks General Thats great stuff. I have to pinch myself that we ask our clubs directors for these things and then they happen! I take it he will be out on the pitch at some point?

General I don't know if you know much about him, but Ian Taylor served Aston Villa with loyalty, passion and great football from 1993-2003. He's a real Villa fan loved by all the clubs supporters as much as he loves the club. He's currently playing for Northampton but retiring at the end of the season, and I think it would be a fantastic gesture if Villa could give him a testimonial? There can't be a player who deserves one more and I think that if it were possible you would see a very full and emotional Villa Park for such a game.

currently at 97% sma and 2% wba, now I'm no maths expert but shouldn't that be adding up to 100? (none of the other have any %)

Never forget that shot against Athletico, could have put us in the semis. All the best Lee, you'll be a class above everyone else in the Championship.

I agree, but i hope its a move abroad. It wouldn't seem right to see him playing for another Premiership club and you know he'd score a shed load against us as well! There only one Pablo Angel!
