Right, here goes. Received a mail from Sky offering 60% off TV 3 days ago so i went on to live chat. Was on there for over an hour and this is what was offered. was offered the 60% off my TV package of Family TV £38.00, Sports £ 27.50, less 60% = £26.20 + £6.00 for HD giving total of £32.20. plus a £30.00 credit to my account. I tried to get something off BB and Phone line and was told he could not do it as they were different departments and i had to phone them up so told him i would still cancel. I'm happy with the TV reduction but am still angling for BB and phone. with that deal it would bring my overall bill to £62.35 i will try again tomorrow with a different person. keep you posted.

he's second favourite behind Pardew. Best price 4/1 click here to see

if i was dyslexic i would read that as Richards on the bench is a c u next Tuesday

what a great picture that is....√√√√√

Agree, who is a good signing as a TD. A more well known name? what credentials do you need? I would say working at Everton and Man Utd brings a pretty good background and sound level of knowledge. If RDM is ok with it then surely thats fine. According to reports he will be responsible for recruitment with RDM having the final say. Fine. He cant be worse than Paddy Reilly, can he?

Bamford prolific goal scorer at this level. On loan is a no brainer. 48 games in the Championship and they come thick and fast. With Bamford, McCormack Gestede, as our forwards we would have 3 players who all can bag 20+ goals each. Then with Ayew (assuming he stays) chipping in I dont see any other team in this division with the forward options we would have. No one.

@Kingman Many thanks...will feedback how i get on in this thread.

@blandy Cheers .....true to form there is a 50% discount offer on the service app. I will call them later or early next week to try to get more discount, off phone and BB perhaps. @Xela I dont disagree the Sky has changed the shape of football forever and they focus on 'The Sky 4/5'. But i am a football and sports fan and love watching it.

i have the complete package with Sky, TV, BB, Phone and paying a whopping £103 pm. Anyhow, the picture has been playing up somewhat (pixlating) so i phoned them and they want to charge me for an engineer to come out or sell me insurance. I told them i didnt want this. Several calls later i was just offered a free engineer call out, i also said i could not afford it and asked for a discount. Told me they could not do it so i cancelled the lot there and then said i will go to Virgin for the same package for £65. The cancellation comes in on the 10th Sept. Anyone know if Sky will call me at anytime to try to get me to stay and offer me a discount? Or if i want to stay with Sky and want a discount, whats the best way to go about this? Chat on line? Phone back? I dont really want to move as this is hassle but i will if need be. Anybody else been through a similar thing/process?

what for? water logged pitch?

put that one with regualr from Soccer Saturday with....penarty

Now this is funny.... Click for report in todays Birmingham Mail. There is a funny video to watch. and he has said he used to be a Villa fan !!!!! What a dime bar.... A die-hard Blues fan has been warned that Birmingham City memorabilia in the window of his home could trigger vandalism. Barry Evans’ landlord fears the array of scarves, banners and pictures could prove a magnet for yobs, a court was told this week. The ledge is also decorated with photographs of Elvis and a large Birmingham City FC towel hangs from an upstairs window of Barry’s Sparkhill home. The Blues bust-up came to light at a First Tier Property Tribunal where landlord Adalat Khan sought approval to increase Barry’s rent by £40 a week. Barry's love for Birmingham City is evident from his windows Birmingham City and Elvis fan Barry Evans from Sparkhill. The disabled 47-year-old currently pays £107, and the tribunal will make a decision at a later date. Barry divides his loyalty between his beloved football club and Elvis – something reflected in the property’s decor. He is currently attempting to legally change his name to Elvis Presley. “Actually, I’ve got all the paperwork,” he says. “But if I sign, ‘Elvis Aron Presley’, on one document, I’ve got to sign it on all of them. “The King has been with me since I was born. He’s great.” The downstairs window mirrors the two loves of Barry’s life and is nothing if not eye-catching. The curtain is a Blues flag, there are three Elvis LP covers, three photos of the rock and roll legend, a foot-high Spiderman model and a wooden elephant. There's no doubt who Barry Evans supports - just look at his windows The living room is dominated by a 6ft poster of the Beautiful South album cover, Blue Is The Colour. Barry has used his artistic skills to turn the boy in the image into a Bluenose. At Christmas, the two-bedroomed terrace is festooned in blue fairy-lights. “The binmen love it,” says Barry. “They’re all Blues fans. “It’s a laugh. I’m having the craic. The house reflects the way I am. I don’t want to leave and see it painted magnolia.” A letter sent to Barry by Mr Khan’s solicitor stated: ”The concern is that you are displaying material that might trigger vandalism to the property by people passing by.” And Mr Khan told tribunal judge Paul Ellis: “The tenant should have laced curtains instead of soccer memorabilia, which detracts from the value of properties in the area. He should also have permission to keep animals.” Barry has two dogs at the house – Jack Nasty Face and Zippy, both greyhounds. The recovering alcoholic insists that they help him in his battle with bipolar disorder. He has objected to the rent rise and says the hike will mean he has to move out of the St Andrew’s shrine. Barry, speaking after the hearing, told the Sunday Mercury: “When I moved into the property in 1993, I paid only £60-a-week rent. “I just cannot afford any more rent. If the tribunal approves the increase then I shall have to move out. “Apart from criticising me for having football memorabilia in the window, the solicitor’s letter also made comments about the condition of my home. “It is all wrong because I have spotless accommodation.” And Barry confessed to a bombshell – he actually used to be a Villa fan until he was 11. “Then I went to a Blues match and found the atmosphere much better,” he explains. “I was hooked.”

he's about as mobile as 'The Angel of The North' imo he is not very good at all, even at this level

Dog shit....

all involved punished to a thousand lines... i must try harder, this is Aston Villa. I must play for the team, i must play for the fans, i must play for the badge. I will not hide. I will work harder. I will. Oh, and Richards, Okore, Hutton, Gestede, Gardener, Bacuna, Westwood, Cissokho go and stand in the corner for the whole season.

i for one am not convinced and i am not just saying this because we are losing against Luton. Look at the evidence/facts... 1, Top CEO's from top business do not take to twitter like its a toy. Some of the stuff he is coming out with on there is frankly embarrassing. 2, If he is really serious and has the capital and serious funds the launch the club to another level, signings would have been made and the dross players would have been bombed out by now. After all, money talks. Look at Man City as an example. The Sheiks came in spent money, big money and just did the business to put them to another level. No Twitter crap, not big promises, they just didi it. At the moment it all feels like a big publicity stunt. I really really hope i am wrong, really wrong but i am not convinced. Talk is cheap.....action is what we need and pretty quick.

....yet !!!!

not sure if this should be posted in the 'The complete and utter chants' thread or what, but here goes anyway. To the tune of knees up mother brown... we're not very good, we're not very good, we're not very, we're not very, we're not very good.....keep repeating until out of breath

you mean a non existent midfield.....has 'Champions league youre havin a laugh' Bacuna touched the ball yet? al as Gardener and Westwood have done is give fouls away

keeper aint had a save to make....

LOL

England have as much shape as my missus's arse....its all over the place and wobbley

whats woy going to do at half time? this is where we need Mike Bassett in the dressing room
