  1. Exactly this...... Number one in the world playing ''friendlies''....the dogs bollocks when it matters, Pathetic
  2. I am convinced there is an attitude problem with England. The 'Charlie big spuds' type of attitude. I think they think they are better than they are and the application is all wrong. I hope i'm wrong with that though.
  3. @OutByEaster? There are some good ideas in here and in particular about fan park stuff like the box park at Wembley. The club may argue that there is the Holte Suite but this only caters for season ticket holders. Are these ideas going to be fed back at the next fans meeting with the club or before then?
  4. I'm in this position. At the age of 55 i would say keep the house. It will be more valuable to you in the long run. If you keep the house you will have the option of taking equity out through equity release at a later stage. Means you get to stay where you want/like to live. Alternatively you could sell up at a later stage and then rent. Renting has it's positives but a lot of that comes from how good/reliable the landlord is. You could be chopping and changes properties on a regular basis.
  5. A one hour set from Fatboy Slim from this years Isle Wight festival. Watch it on your TV through the soundbar and play it loud. Fatboy Slim works the crowd a treat and plays a blinder..... eat, sleep, rave, repeat
  6. you have not answered anything there on what is unique and you've taken my response to your post as an assault on you and therefore lets have a go back. Who said move to Washwood Heath? Who said move to a soulless industrial estate (arguably we are already in one). I have said in a previous post that both Aston and Witton are dumps which have been neglected by the City Council. What is there? Please dissect what i have said as your response does not stack up with mine. but hey, lets move on.....no pun intended

  8. Unique does not make it good and what does make it unique? Two old out dated stands with dire facilities and dire concourses? A Trinity Road Stand that many on here do not like? The surrounding area being a dump? I guess thats unique? Has nobody ever moved house to a better location and improved their standard of living? We have done it once before in 1897 when we moved from the Upper Grounds. Our world renowned heritage come from the illustrious history not the bricks and mortar. Moving grounds would not take away that history and heritage and it would not make us just another ordinary football club. The history and heritage will always be there. Moving would just be yet another chapter in that long and illustrious history.
  9. If/when we gate crash the Sky 'big 6' as is evident now we will sell out every week and the ground will be nowhere big enough at 42k. We will need a far bigger stadium. I am all up for a new stadium and a move closer to the City centre but still in Aston, say by the university area as an example. Things change and it would be a fantastic opportunity. Villa Park as it stands today is nowhere near the ground it was originally, every stand have been redeveloped. The North Stand and Doug Ellis Stands are dire. The facilities in there are dire. Try getting any refreshments or worse still try getting to the toilets. Aston and Witton are dog holes and have been neglected by the City Council for donkey's years. It is starting to see some re-generation but this is in the way of yet more factory units. Other than Aston Hall and Villa Park there is sod all there !!! Anyway, this is for the old timers around.....
  10. if you have a VPN you can use a UK server to get iplayer on your laptop or smart tv.
  11. Now this would be hilarious.....please please please and pretty please !!!!
  12. I'm very late on this one but having read about it on VT and in various newspaper TV sections and now i have SkyQ, I've just started watching The Wire with Mrs imavillan.. @Stevo985 & @The_Rev Spot on about giving it a few episodes. I guess it's like a book, it takes a few chapters to really get into it. On to episode 7 of the first series and now i'm hooked on it. The characters and storyline is coming alive and it's all making sense. Although the language is rather ripe in that particular episode with lots of SYNT from one of the dealers. That said though, i'm having to watch it with subtitles on as the American slang street dialect from the drug dealers is something else. Thats my binge tv sorted for a while to come.
  13. The bit in bold is stretching it somewhat. He certainly didn't earn anything at the Villa If he is an alchy then yes he needs help, but that only comes from within and recognising you need it. Others can help and guide you but ultimately you have to accept it and take responsibility. I Reckon we'll be seeing more pictures and stories in the future. He gets no sympathy from me.
  14. Bury are currently looking for a new manager......
  15. I love a Brazilian...... and footballers
  16. mmmmm......wonder what went on there then??
  17. Thanks, i was going to sign up to this. There must be others around doing something similar. When i get some time i'll do a search and see whats out there.
  18. Sad news to report the bloke who invented predictive text as pissed away. His funfair is next monkey.
  19. Can anybody recommend a platform to buy and sell shares that wont eat up all of the profits (hopefully) in fees? Initially i'm looking to build a smallish portfolio investing 1k with 3 maybe 4 different stocks. I was leaning towards AJ Bell or Hargreaves Lansdown.
  20. Searched VT and didn't really know where to post this, but when i watched it it put a smile on my face and this seems to be as good a place as anywhere. An ordinary bloke busking.....
  21. I Always found John Thomas to be a bit dodgy
