Hi General,

Not sure if this has already been raised or not but RE the black training kit:

i recall you saying that measures were being put into place to ensure the colours

remained consistent in all things villa as part of the "Branding" process.

Unfortunately the black training kits i have seen on sale here in Ireland are

decidedly PINK and far from the claret of the other merchandise! Whether this is

an early batch issue or not i am not sure but to be honest it looks really bad when

taking into perspective the things that have already been said about such matters.

But on a lighter note - thanks for your input and for putting many of of fears and issues4

to bed! Keep up the good work!!!

General,

Dont know if this has already been said but is there any plans for an AVFC sports channel as there is for manutd and chelsea etc? Also do you think there would be a plan to stream all villa's non sky games on the OS on a pay-per-view type thing? think this could be a really good source of revenue for the club!

Thanks for everything you and the board have done so far - really appreciate the effort!!

UP THE VILLA!!!!

Hi General,

I work for a company called Micros Fidelio, we provide Property Management Systems and Point of Sale systems to Hotels, Theme Parks, and Sporting Arenas. My question is will Villa be following the trend of football stadia having major till and PMS systems installed?

Recently The New Wembley, The Emirates, The Ricoh Arena,Goodison Park, and we have a contract for Liverpool's new staium - but to name a few.

Thanks

SC

i believe the general posted that as the 4th july they will be on sale

but slightly earlier for ST holders

not sure of the exact date but its the first weekend in july i think that preseason starts

and the USA tour is the second weekend i think

cant see MON using the young plaers next season unless something goes very wrong

i believe we will have a number of new signings before we have our first preseason game

no disrespect to gavin - and i'll prob get stick for this but i am very glad to hear this

we need better than Gavin McCann

and this singnals that better WILL be coming sooner rather than later

Good luck Gavin - not too much tho :winkold:

old fart wash your mouth out!!!

i have also heard that raul is in brum with his family

could be totally unrelated to football tho

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

really hope we dont sell Moore he's a class act!

maybe loan him out to another prem team like Davis

thats what big clubs should do with their youngens to give them experience and see them develop better than when in the reserves

i wouldnt suck on anything kept in my anyones pants!!!

Bet your girlfriend LOVES you

should have seen that one cumming :oops:

but i was referring of course to footballers

OMG when i read dummy that was the last thing i had in mind

and did you see where he kept it? in his pants?

i wouldnt suck on anything kept in my anyones pants!!!

sneider and barry cant really play in the same team really

barry isnt a good enough winger so will play central

and neither of the two are defensive really

so it'll be one or the other... and i know who i prefer (sneider!)

and i do respect your opinion DDID honestly!

just saying that traditionally top teams create a strong base before

starting on the attack which makes me think an experienced

centre half - maybe 2 - and a quality defensive mmidfeilder

and then you will find our creative players - especially petrov

will start to play the way they can

but as you say its only opinion

well personally from what i have seen this season there are two reasons why we have conceeded few goals

1- tommy has been in great form - possibly his best since coming to villa

2 - the midfeild is doing far too much defensive work hiding the defences weaknesses

if the defence was better the midfeild could support the attack more

hence giving better service more chances and ultimately more goals

if you have watched any villa games this season you can clearly see this is the case

stop conceeding goals then we can start thinging about scoring a few

Really? Most people would say it's the other way around. We're not conceding many, but were not scoring ANY.

That said, where the feck is Luke Moore?

DDID i think you will find that the most successful teams historically were built on a solid back line before the attacking threats were added

its worked for over 100 years i see no reason to think toherwise now

newcastle tried to do it backwards and what did they win?

agreed crossman and i think we have alot of forward options

we need to strengthen the rest of the squad first

stop conceeding goals then we can start thinging about scoring a few

what do you think of anthony vanden borre at right back?

put that down its not for you!!!

i dont swing that way :firefox:

Im worried that MON is looking frequently less happy. Is it the transfer window thats doing his head in? Is it the run of 12 matches without a win? Is it the realisation that reviving Villa is a bigger job than maybe he first thought? What do people think?

thats a whole other subject all together

why dont you start a new thread for it?

if young is worth 9m how much is gabby worth?

in fairness Gaby has alot of pace and not a great deal else

he reminds me very much of Tony Daley i'm sure you remember him

Young is an entirely different breed

bags of skill and trick

far better passing and crossing ability

not quite the same amount of pace tho

but a much higher quality player

and even in our school team he was decidely average

No offence, but I reckon that's probably bollocks. Bet he ran rings around you :winkold:

well as a goalkeeper yes he probably would have

but as we were playing on the same team he never realy got the chance

there were in fact 4 midfeilders in our school team of fair higher quality

two of whom were severly injured playing in said team at 16 years and 17 years old

one of whom had signed a pre contract with manure but i'm not getting into name dropping

and if you still think its bollox you can always drop into the school and ask the teacher who ran the team i'm sure he'd be happy to put you right

very glad to see the back of him

he has talent but much like tony daley (going back a bit i know)

he just doesnt know what to do with it until its too late

Carew, IMO of course, is a far better player

we definately got the better of that deal!!

(looks around praying not to prompt a jinx)

Angel has been poor since we moved to 4-4-2

but this is because he simple isnt fast or fit enolugh to play in that system

he still has so much to offer

i dont care what anyone says he looked class with gabby and moore along side

and i would even pancy seeing him drop a little deeper being a front two as he is well capable of a killer pass

fair play sheriff stick it to them!!

hate it when people jump at things without REALLY reading them

makes life much harder

really great article

and the line about baros later on is priceless!!

hope he has many more games like that

sorry guys i was never convinced about lee

i went to school with him until the age of 18

and even in our school team he was decidely average

lacked and real physical presence that his mouth

demanded that he had

not sorry to see him leave at all

he really should have left a few years ago while he shone

in a more average midfield than we have now

still all the best Lee
