  1. Try not to say "support your local team" to William.

    ;)

    There was a story that, when William Windsor visited the England training camp, Joe Cole asked why he supported Villa and not a closer-to-home team like Chelsea. William replied along the lines of "Because I started watching football before 1999".

    I'm sure he never said that, but I tell all my mates that he did :D

    So yes, I vote for bringing the future King to Villa Park.

  2. PS I am on the way to the west coast to see my 93 year old father so I may be off the net for a few days. Maybe I check out Las Vegas for the "tour"!!

    General, I posted this on another site, I just want to make sure you see it. Please pass my regards to Lieutenant General Victor "Brute" Krulak.

    I read his book a couple of years ago, and it's only just struck me now he is your father.

    VT posters, look up "brave son-of-a-bitch with balls of steel" in the dictionary, and you'll see a picture of Brute Krulak.

  3. Despite the assertion that he is interested only in winning, Lerner clearly thinks he has spotted a commercial opportunity. He said his interest in soccer as a business emerged when he was running MBNA’s European operations from Chester and met Adam Crozier, former chief executive of the Football Association, and Keith Harris, former chairman of the Football League and head of broker Seymour Pierce, which is advising Lerner on his Villa bid.

    I wonder will either of those 2 be in line to become CEO?

  4. PB did Villa buy back the NTL shares? and if so are they under the same deal taht JP and Doug have?

    Villa never sold the shares IIRC

    The deal was cancelled before the time when the shares would actually be issued I think

    not 100% sure though

    You may be right PB but I think there was a fuss on here or on FTT when it was alleged that Doug was using plc money to buy the shares back and thereby increase his percentage holding....

  5. Welcome. All good things come to those who wait.

    Wasn't that Heinz?

    But I agree that this squad isnt too far from the one that came 6th.

    It also has more depth in defence than it has recently, and if we can keep Baros we'll be more than ok.
