  1. My wife could do that. She'd be brilliant. Does it all the time.
  2. I agree and they are astute signings. And you are correct in that Bruce has not been using them properly. Terry, Elmohamady and Whelan, however, have settled in immediately. The reason - they are being played in their proper positions.
  3. What a revelation for me. He was excellent today - probably my MOM.
  4. To be fair to Bruce - Terry, Elmohamady and Whelan all seem to be very astute signings.
  5. Now you are beginning to worry me. Your support seems to be waning. And he will not be given the time you are now suggesting he will need. And you are one of his strongest supporters. And we do not want to be playing catch up. Apologies for all the `ands'. Very poor English.
  6. Good post. Although I am still clinging to the hope that this is still pre season and that it will be different when the real football starts. Trying to be optimistic.
  7. Ah, if only it was that simple. However - a bit of optimism never goes amiss.
  8. Hate is an unnecessarily extreme word to use in this context.
  9. And I'd be surprised. Bloody surprised.
  10. Absolutely no way. Even without the shenanigans of the last few seasons, I do not think he would achieve that status. But I will remember, fondly, his dopey look and his incredible speed in his heyday. And, in a charity match, taking out the guy from the group. That was daft, but also very Gabby.
  11. One of the stupidest looking trophies ever. I think they went for quantity over quality.
  12. Looked good today. One to watch, I would say.
  13. Wasn't very good today - the usual faults. But he is a trier. We should move him on if we can, but he deserves to go with our best wishes - he did his best.
  14. Was really good today - just what I expected from him.
  15. Excellent today. Plays further forward than Jedinak and showed plenty for the ball. Good start.
  16. A bit soon for that. But much better performances today. Gives me some hope. I think the youngsters will be very important this season. Some talent there, I think.
  17. The new deal would have been an investment to be sure that we would get decent money for him. Shrewd move.
  18. Yes. This would be good. Not his fault he was unable to live up to the hype. One of our kids, so good luck to him.
  19. I hope I have not insulted you, because I respect your opinion. And we both want the same thing - the best for Aston Villa. It is only opinion, anyway, at this stage, and it will all become clear relatively soon.
  20. Your opinion needs to be tempered by the fact that this is the last big pay day for these guys. As for your last sentence, if we `tear it up' I will be very happy and will say so. I resent that some posters seem to think that those of us who think that Bruce will not get us promoted will somehow be happy about that. Nothing could be further from the truth, and it is quite insulting that some would think so.
