cheltenham_villa

bollocks, just burnt my lips on some pizza.

hope its not deemed insensitive but ive often wondered, what do people who have been blind since birth dream about?

Who would you rest?

OBE:

Thats the question ? what would your gut reaction tell you, at this point in the season with so much importance on this fixture for Chelsea, being that if they drop points to Villa right now, that could be the end of the premiership title for them ( was this the bridge to far for Chelsea), if we are 2-1 up with 10 mins to go are players like Malouda going to start getting bitchy and and frustrated making silly tackles that put players out, for me all this plays its part.

Can we beat Chelsea in this game at this point, I would rest any key player that looks jaded that looks a doubt injury wise, thats coming back from injury.

Thing is MON is more a one trick pony ( I say that with 100% respect to the Man) he goes 100% for every game and looks for the result regardless of the next fixture( except for the Europa cup last year that is) .

Its a really difficult question that singles out the great tacticians from the also rans IMO, Mourinho was a class act in this way, out thinking the opposition manager IMO.

are you a politician? I cant find a single answer in your posts.

Am I the only one that has never had an interest in these places, despite the fact I'm a 21-year-old male? I like having a good time as much as most but places like Magaluf just seem horrible, personally.

If so, I'll just shut up being miserable and leave the thread

if your 21 your already about 4 years to old.

Got to be Magaluf, went three years running a good few years ago, what a place. Would never go back....Voinjama, dont ask becuase we cant tell you....what goes on tour

Exactly

And people dont need excuses, you are right!!!

But people are giving excuses on here, that are poor and quite disappointing in all honesty

I know wgere you're coming from I used to be like you.

Of course i'm excited about Villa in the semi final, my left knee and my bad back are not.

Expense (which you're right I should have explained) is probabaly by far the greatest reason for not going. we only got 37k on Saturday and money was the reason.

Its a semi final and some may have half an eye on a final. Did you go to the CC final because quite frankly Wembley was one hell of a disappointment.

I didn't because I couldnt get a ticket. And I wont be able to go to the FA cup final for the same reasons (if we get through). And thats fair because I am not a season ticket holder. But I would expect that season ticket holders (who sometimes unfairly have a grumble at every man and his dog trying to get a ticket to a final) come up with better excuses not to go to a semi final than, it shunt be at wembley or wel probly lose or wembley's difficult to get out of. Id kill for a chance to go

if your that desperate to go, why not just pay tout prices?

if i thought it was fixed i wouldnt be able to watch it.

I used to collect but have sold off most of my collection now, i have the 1990 - 1992 home and away shirts, and an old liverpool three stripe candy shirt (a gift from someone who really didnt understand the rules of my collection). Will be selling them off shortly if anyone is interested PM me.

our lad is now ten weeks old. we had a name selected for 6 months but changed our minds when he was born to something we'd never considered. Cant really explain but just seemed to suit him more.

think it'll be doyle. itll cost a bit though, wolves paid about 6.5 and they would want to sell him. Think they'd expect 12 if they stay up as they have the money and hes said he doesnt want to leave. Keane would be similar IMO, Redknapp would not want to sell to us. Bent would cost us 20+ i think. Sunderland dont need the money and i would imagine hes earning good money. Personally i dont think hed work hard enough for us and not sure if i can see him in the same side as Gabby

hate to say it but thought we missed Barry today, Barrys first move when winning the ball was to look for Young. He was in great form yesterday up against a forward playing at right back but we failed to get him enough of the ball.

would finishing 4th this season really give us access to all these top players. We'd still need to qualify for the champions league (failed to qualify for europa this year), we still wouldnt be an established top 4 club (think next year will see a bigger push from city and liverpool) and we'd still have a manager that doesnt seem to like targetting these bigger players. Got no proof of this but the "hard working englishman" seems to be a mould that suits.

Id like to see progressive improvement (already shown this year), no concerns over the financial stability of the club (i dont want to be the next portsmouth), investment in youth (lets bring some home grown players through) and to top it all off the FA cup please.

General Krulak here:

1. Baby kits: I am not sure what happened here. When my youngest grandson was born, we got the little "bunny" suits with a Villa deal on the front. I thought that we still sold those. I will check.

2. Pricing for semi-final. As I have said many times before, we do try to recognize the issues of the economy and when possible, we try to help out. We don't always get it right but we sure do try to take the economy into effect.

Hi General, just to clarify the issue, the baby bunny suits are available but sizes only start from 0-3 months. Not sure if this is an american/english type thing but baby clothes in the uk start from new born size. Villa do not seem to have any baby clothes in this size.

Hi General,

Hope you are well and fighting to get on that plane to Wembley for the semi final.

My girlfriend is expecting our first baby in september, now having looked through the catalogue and the website, i can't seem to find any clothing for new born babies, no babygrows etc. Now i've already been told i will be recieving a babygrow from a number of different clubs from friends and family, although i've told them the only clothing the baby will wear is villa! Does the club have any plan to release clothing for new born babies this summer? Would love to get some stuff in august reay for the birth in september.

Thanks

General, you may have missed this.

I asked the same question quite a few pages back, General answered that he had previously bought bits for young babies. Definately no new born stuff through the club shop though but they do have some bits in 0-3 months.

The missis is 5 months pregnant...found out once she was a month gone, so nada since...and another 4-6 months to go.

and the rest

sorry to hijack the generals thread but just a quick suggestion reference season tickets. I have a barclaycard premiership credit card. This allows me to buy my season ticket at 0% interest for 12 months. Allows me to spread my payments over the year without incurring any charges.

You know what's so sickening? United fans barely care. ****.

thats what upset me the most, it was just another trophy for their players and fans. We'd probably still be in the stadium celebrating now. Hopefully we dont have to wait 10 years for another visit.

parking at hillingdon is cheep, not that many spaces though.

tough times, my nan died last week, funeral Thursday. Never got to meet my son.

He'd spend half the season suspended.

Either of you ever used the changin room sin H&M in Solihull....?

good memories (first blowie)

I nearly spat my tea out... :shock:

My good memories include things like when I got asked to be Godmother, when I recovered after an operation against odds, when I realised I was in love...

Your definition of good memories, my first blowie?! Is this a man thing?

this can't be that surprising.....they are guys after all. when i realised i was in love it was an amazing moment that nothing has yet to compare to. but for guys....things like blowies will always be at the top of the list

good thing about memories, not really a limit on how many you can have. This one in question always makes me laugh, i nearly stopped said girl by questioning what she was doing as she kneeled down. Girl will always stay in my memories for being my first, around the back of Pershore Football Club in fact. Said girl played a bit part in my life over the next few years and helped to "christen" other great venues such as the phone box near bredon cricket club and the ladies toilets at Montells in Tewkesbury. 8)

Sooo villadude, I don;t live in B6, he did it on purpose and killed himself and his children???

I don't live in B6 either, I live in Worcester,

As in WUSTER, not WOR-CESTER, like most Yanks like to pronounce it. :winkold:

Not http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_S43tPbouo*...

Second-best comedian from wormtown (though the best who didn't rip off Bill Hicks)... though there's not really a Worcester accent there... the best way to describe a true Worcester accent is imagine a combination between Long Island and

accents**:

*: though I'm not sure whether anybody in that video has apple pie for breakfast

**: for ClaretMahoney, go west from the most populous Worcester and next thing you know you're in (not the most populous) Leicester. Though I must admit that not every town in Worcester County is pronounced properly, though.

My nephew was in the same class as the girl who died. My sister knows the mum from the playground and says the bloke had threatened this a few times before. Had an alcohol problem apparently but she doesnt think he was on heroin.

I also used to work on the hampton ferry where the car went into the river, such a tragedy but sort of cool to see my former workplace all over the news. :oops: good memories (first blowie)

agree with those saying avoid buying french, id look for a Japanese car, isnt the volkswagon thing a bit of myth created by volkswagon. Hold their value well but thought they were generally low down in the reliability tests. Also expensive to fix.

Yeah, put your faith in some divine being and not the team of doctors that were actually doing something about it.

If I was a doctor I would be seriously pissed off because the amount of times some made up being gets the thanks when you save someones life must be ridiculous.

obviously chose not to read this bit

Not saying it was a result of divine intervention but it was the only thing i could do and from that i took some small comfort.
