  1. Talking of PR disasters I see Cameron again being shown up. He was very quick to run to TV studios and radio to (rightly) criticise Jimmy Carr over tax avoidance but is now claiming that it's not his job to criticise people like Gary Barlow who has been found out to have even larger tax avoidance "schemes" going on. Hmmm why is that I wonder? ......... ahhh Gary Barlow who was a Tory supporter at the last election maybe?
  2. So the fuel that is used to transport the veg from Farm to Shops is exempt? etc etc VAT increases is not just about food as such it affects the price you pay in the shops big style that is the key point. If you don't see that then you are falling for the same things that allow the Tory party to be the only one that have ever increased VAT on a permanent basis
  3. Funny when he made his first tactical move we were 0-0, he changes the formation and then we concede 4 goals .....
  4. So basically he cannot do the job? - sack him then - easy ............. next !
  5. Agreed. City have demolished better teams than us this seaason but for some people it's any excuse to slate Lambert. i suppose the other 18 defeats this season are ok to question him then?
  6. Thanks to those Lambert Luvvies and their bloody logic I'm starting to warm *slightly* to the idea of him staying with investment. When he's had more than a million to spend on a player he's done well (and occasionally with even less). Or at least, I'm not *completely* averse to it. I maintain he has good ideas but doesn't know how to implement them consistently. Maybe a decent coach or two (and better players) might help him to do so... *Might* dave isnt that logic flawed? If the signings had done well then how come we have been so poor? With the exception of benteke there really isnt any other gem in his signings which considering the number he has made makes you wonder if he really does have this talent? Get rid of him now and lets get someone new and better in asap
  7. That bastion of Left wing faux outrage lists some of his more subtle things of late HOW JEREMY CLARKSON HAS LANDED HIMSELF IN TROUBLE BEFORE April 2014: Named his black terrier Didier Dogba after the Ivory Coast footballer. March 2014: Joked a bridge with an Asian man walking across it had a ‘slope on it’. His Top Gear producer Andy Wilman claimed Clarkson did not realise it is an offensive term. January 2012: Made a series of derogatory remarks about India and ridiculed the sanitation for its poor by driving around slums in a Jaguar fitted with a toilet. January 2012: Compared synchronised swimming with the deaths of 23 Chinese cockle pickers in Morecambe Bay in 2004. July 2011: Said his new TV’s energy-saving setting made it seem as if programmes were being ‘presented by Lenny Henry in a cave’. February 2011: Joked about Mexicans, prompting complaint by ambassador. August 2010: Attacked by disability charities after he said the F430 Speciale car should be called ‘Speciale needs’. October 2009: Accused TV producers of being fixated with having ‘black Muslim lesbians’ on programmes. Feburary 2009: Described Gordon Brown as a ‘one-eyed Scottish idiot’. April 2007: Deriding a car made in Malaysia he suggested it was built by ‘jungle people who wear leaves as shoes’. December 2005: Gave a Nazi salute while presenting a piece about German firm BMW. Said its satnav ‘only goes to Poland’ When the Mail and other right wing outlets start bringing him to task you have realise that your stance about it being a left wing witch hunt is very wide of the mark
  8. Sorry but that is rubbish. So being outraged at racism is left wing faux outrage? So being outraged at threatening young kids is left wing faux outrage? So being mocking physical disability is a left wing faux outrage? Maybe you are saying / admitting that the right wing elements, and yes Clarkson certainly is one of those, has different morals and acceptable social awareness? This is not a left wing witch hunt at all and you know it mate, it's one about common decency and the fact that Clarkson who has shown over many many instances to be quite an obnoxious person has been caught out again. Trying to make it a left vs right thing is wrong on your part and frankly disappointing
  9. ?? You've not heard the stuff he said about the periodic table? Shocking, he should have been burnt at the stake Did you hear what he said about Sodium? ............. Na
  10. Cup shocks. Never heard of them before as they are only exclusive to Aston Villa aren't they? Colchester 3 Leeds Utd 0 Bournemouth 2 Man Utd 0 Wigan 1 Man City 0 etc etec etc I appreciate your desire to defend a certain manager at all cost, while provoking reactions from VT posters, but can you explain how your logic exactly works with the games you have quoted? Seeing as the three you have mentioned were from totally different era's with totally different clubs, with totally different managers and totally different circumstances. I have heard of comparing apples with oranges but never apples with aircraft carriers painted a bright shade of pink and a tendency to turn right each time it sees a whale
  11. One of a very long list of things that this total waste of oxygen has said and done. From racial abuse through to threatening kids, from mocking physical disabilities to general crass behaviour. The bloke certainly does not deserve any place in mainstream society
  12. with respect but what a ridiculous statement. Failed at what exactly? they don't have a job, they don't have a responsibility. It's their club because of the monies they put in, the time and dedication they have following it but they don't have any duties as such so they cannot fail. Lambert on the other hand does have duties, does have deliverables and does have responsibilities and you can easily argue that he has failed at all of them It is not a statement merely a question that is open to semantics. Maybe a question to provoke reaction?

  14. This desperation to hold onto him is actually quite cringeworthy OK he may go and do well somewhere else but it's pretty plain and simple to see that he is failing at Villa and will continue to do so. He is basically not up to the job, he has had two seasons of failure, two seasons of constant negative records being broken and two seasons of having no plans to take the club forward in any shape or form. I think moreso now some of the fan reactions on here are those that are scared to admit that something at the club is wrong and needs sorting out
  15. Watching a young lad we know well win a world title boxing belt tonight.
  16. How many Times New Roman has said this?
  17. If the man had any dignity he would walk ........ but he will continue stealing a wage
  18. You only "like" him because secretly you want to be Batman
  19. You must be a lonely sole to be wearing ones like that. Just admit it they are not good, there is dignity in de-feet Trying to say they are OK, is just a bunch of cobblers really Really buying them is not good, I would make fun but its not good to mock-a-sin

    Hmm I think there is a double meaning to all of this. You will probably find out that the Mournes are actually his neighbours and he had an "encounter" with their youngest daughter. It all fits - he went up the Mournes (check) - he took a stroll through her pine forest (obviously not a neatly trimmed lady garden) - followed by a fish supper which meant he went yodelling in the canyon........
  21. I asked the local melon farmer to run away with me and get married, but she replied "I am sorry but i cantaloupe with you"
