Lion-heart

Like most fans, I was calling for Luke Young to come back at Right Back. Mon did as we had been asking and we were thraped 7-1. Maybe he knows more about football than we do. I rate him at Centre Back and he gives us nothing going forward at RB, but he obviously gives us better defensive cover somehow.

Sorry to answer for the General, but it is nothing to do with our or any other club, it's the law. Unless you can change it by Act of Parliament it is illegal to stand at a Premier League Stadium.

Getting into a pub was impossible for the CC. As it's Chelsea there should be more pubs arond Wembley for Villa fans this time round. Not sure which one I'm heading for yet. Any suggestions?

Many Happy Returns General. Here's to many more.

Post deleted Get well soon, you really do not want to miss the occasion, win or lose.

Hi General, just like to wish you and yours a very Happy and Healthy New Year. And get yourself over here, we need your support asap.

Not wishing to steal the General's thunder, but he has already stated they will be shown when ready. No timescales available yet.

same for me. Plus the European Super Cup 1982 (or was it 83) Yes I'm an old git.

Great answer, General, but if the guy in question is a professor then I'm Stonewall Jackson. Reminds me of the old adage. "Those that can't do, Teach"

Don't agree. He put out a full team at VP and if we had got a result I'm certain he would have put out his strongest side in Moscow. We didn't so he decided to prioritise on the League, hoping to get that 4th spot. We didn't get 4th, but not all gambles pay off. At the time right decision. With hindsight wrong decision. Shame we don't all have hindsight isn't it.

The General reckons were looking 33K. Disgrace if true Not really fella It's not a disgrace is it. If you can't afford to go, you can't afford to go Sorry, disagree. We should be able to fill 42K. The prices aint that bad at all. 3rd in the league and 9K short on capacity is poor I fully understand about short time. But not everyone is on short time or out of work. And yes family always comes first. But we should be filling the stadium. You've just downgraded disgrace to poor It's Christmas There's a boat load of unemployment in the midlands It's stoke If it's a choice between £30-£35 or providing for your family at xmas timei think i know what i'd choose (not that this affects me in any way but i'm sure if affects many villa fans) So it's not a disgrace really is it.....

OBE you should know better. Remember Stoke?

You could hear them on Radio WM.

I'd call it a pass that if it had come from a 'name' player the Sky commentators would be creaming themselves over. Absolutely, Al. :nod: 'For our older viewers', it was one of those Hoddle-style passes. I always preferred Gordon Cowans Absolutely Far better than Hoddle

Hi General, 2 years ago I asked if we would ever beat Man U, you assured me we would, I needed confirmation that it would be in my lifetime and the assurance was given. I am so delighted you were correct. One hell of a happy Lion. All the best and hopefully you will be over to VP soon. Come on you Lions

We are a good team who on their day can take United to the cleaners. Shouldn't really say anything...but I had a dream last night we did them 4-1. I cannot even begin to describe the happiness that I felt at that result..and then the utter disappointment to realize it was that; a dream. Didn't anyone ever tell you it was bad luck to tell your Friday night dreams, as they come true. On second thoughts, well done, if it happens I'll buy the pizza.

Hi General, hope your recovery is progressing well. It's about time you got yourself this side of the pond, I'm missing your walkabouts. Just like to know where we are at with the auction for the Match Shirts from Saturday.

Totally agree, Petrov was my MOTM, followed by Collins and Milner, but he has been less effective in the past.

Sorry Tim, don't agree, the dugout should be last on the list of improvements.

I can't believe I actually agree with something sled has written

I saw a couple of reserve games last season. Your reports been I'll be seeing a lot more this one. Many thanks OBE, excellent reporting.

He wanted to go. He thought his opportunities would be limited and would be better off else where playing every week. It was the right decision.
