Nice one Paddy........... and to the General and all who made it possible, **** class fellas, you're pure **** class.

..........and Reo Coker says in his after match interview 'that was for you gaffer' refering to Pardew. Who said they didn't get on?

Gotta be a place for ghost riders on the playlist.

A spiced up version of ghost riders would be my choice as I do not really know the sabbath songs well enough to comment. Anyone got any Sabbath links to their preferred choices?

Valkyries Not for me.

Bump. We cant have the general's thread on page 2 And Paddy, get well soon. Always look on the bright side of life.............

Posh would move back into Beckingham Palace in Bucks, hardly a million miles from Birmingham.

Linked with Kevin Doyle for £5million in one of the Sunday rags.

I'm surprised MON was there when he had a chance to watch MU who we are playing every week from now until Easter. It is safe to assume he was looking at a player and was probably watching Bendtner.

Graham :?:

What a refreshing change.

I believe that we will try to sign Klose. I believe that we will be unsuccessful.

An Ellis fairytale? He was great at announcing that we were in for top players just after they had signed for someone else ie RVN after he joined MU.

General, Great news about Ron, I hope that he is well enough to attend and enjoy your generous hospitality. Having met Ron through an associate a few years ago there is no doubt that he will decide for himself as to whether to go on the pitch or not. But whatever his decision I will accept it and it is still great that he will be back after all these years. I am glad that you 'experienced' and enjoyed Portsmouth, great to see our full allocation sold out and making lots of noise as usual. Which brings me to my last request........ take the full allocation available for Man Utd away in the FA cup. When I heard the draw I was gutted, I fancied us this year for a bit of a run in the cup, 50 year anniversary, first final at the new Wembley (maybe?). Anyhow my attitude towards this game has changed. We are a new Villa and can go there and give them a proper game. And if we have circa 12000 fans there we can roar them to the right result, the usual 3000 normally outsing them anyway. My only worry is that the TV channels will move this game to a daft kick off time but if they dont, please take all the tickets we can and make sure you are there because it will be a cracker.

Katzer and Neill story in The Mirror

Safe journey General, hopefully see you in the Holte upper tomorrow night.

General, Wise words as usual re: site politics, it is time for everyone to pull in the same direction. A couple of questions 1.How is the new CFO settling in? I assume you will get feedback this week whilst over here. 2.You dangled a carrot to us re: new sponsorship a little while back, any further news that you can provide? 3.Can you let us know who is on MON's list to end all the speculation on here? :winkold: Cheers!

OK, I seem to recall someone has that in their sig, Rich?

Oh dear, it seems someone is getting red carded!! Have I missed something?

Bridge signs new 4 year contract at Chelsea so that's one off many peoples list.

General, In my experience non exec directors over here receive a nominal salary for their input and I would have expected the same for you guys. The fact that you are working out of love and respect for Randy and AVFC alone makes it even more special. We are honoured to have you all on board, you are truly a Villan now. It is time for you to join us on the Holte when you are next over and we'll have a sing song and a balti pie. And maybe a pint.

Without sounding rude, it's not that astonishing given that their roles are non executive. Most non executives get paid very little. I am sure there are some options or warrants in there somewhere though! :winkold: Correct TT. What is astonishing is that the General, on behalf of Randy and the new board, takes time out to talk to us and keep us informed, something which the previous well paid board members probably never even considered. Once again General I thank you.

I know quite a few Albion ST holders and they are 100% unanimous.............. Earnshaw wasn't good enough, had the first touch of an elephant. I will be very disappointed if we sign him.

Trinity, that is my understanding re: McShane, I think he was part of the Kuscak transfer. If I was to go for anyone from Ireland it would be Kieran Donaghy, what a target man :wink: The boys are over here at the weekend with Sam, so new liver required on Monday

I think he's too young Has he played for Celtic?
