First game of the season, Beattie bid pending, new hope, high expectations........

Middle of the holiday season in August!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why not make an offical bid for Dougs Shares in the name of VFC/Shareholders or dare I say Trust.

Isn't the trust involved with some statue or other with the club?????

Bloody hell, do you want me to name the 6,000 people that choose the more glamorous games, individually

Rather you name the 40,000 you started off talking about!

I suppose you will manage to put your spin on this

I was right again!

Why do we get 28,000 for games against Blackburn & Pompey, yet we always get 40,000 for Arsenal, Man Utd & Liverpool, regardless of our position & form. Answer this adequately, then I'll change my opinion.

It may be something to do with not all people being ABLE TO AFFORD a season ticket. They have to pick and choose matches they can afford to attend.

Therefore if you can afford 5-6 games a season it makes sense NOT to go to Bolton, Crystal Palace, Naarwich, Soton etc but attend to see the more exciting games.

I suppose you will manage to put your spin on this but I believe it is a decent agrument.

What about the Spanish version...... 'White Hankies'

It must be Carlton Coles fault as he is a Chelsea spy!

I know but the sticking up for is as out of synch with reality sometimes as the 'scapegoating'........

It just seems that some players can get stick for little reason ie UDLC. But as some think JPA walks on water it is a crime to say he sinks and gets wet occassionally!

Hendrie did something silly and got himself banned for 3 matches - Hooray, well done that man!

JPA played awful mised a penalty and an open goal - give him a pay rise immediately

Solano and Cole went missing for the whole time they were on - free meal at Dougs house then?

Mellberg missed a few interseptions and allowed the ball to bounce over his head again instead of dealing - new club car?

As a supporter, like most on here, I am entitled to criticise players that deserve it. JPA mayhave been top scorer last season but this season he is not really worth his place on some performances. Is it some sort of sacriledge to say so?

The whole team were rubbish on Saturday perhaps with the exception of the other scapegoat, UDLC, and if I want to say that I will.

When they play well they get the praise.

On your assessment Lancs does that mean we shouldn't have moaned about GT as he was good once :wink:

I think he was referring to the assertion that Yakubu was somehow a more proven commodity than Angel in the prem.

Ryu I respect and admire your loyalty but DOL has recently said that good strikers do it consistently year after year... about JPA...

Comments about wanting a striker who do it in season after season is just like the crap we hear off the national press, who obviously never seen Angel pre Taylor!

Something along the lines the manager has said recently though!

Whats up Big Ears.... Noddy upset you?

JPA today was rubbish. He was rubbish on Monday. Is he above criticism or something?

The first goal was all round bad defending SIMPLE!

2nd goal who was marking SWP? - No one!

I said no just to be wrong :?

But the real problem is IF there are bigger bids and Beattie wants to come to us............ his agent seems to be saying we are his preferred option.

Dyer. Beckham, Gerrard and Barry ( in that order) in midfield and we would have won!

Where's the option to vote for Sky?

That gets my vote every time

I was there..... right behind the goal when Withey scored. As a steward I was wearing a flouro jacket and each time I see the goal I see my self go mental!!!!

On the lower level at that point getting another glass of lager, that was very warm, and was suppossed to have been banned by UEFA but they didn't care.

After the match (supposedly dry) the coaches were told to leave straight back to UK..... so the local entrepreneurs were walking round with sack trucks loaded with cases of beer that were quickly purchased.

As we walked to the coaches Villa fans just walked up to each other and hugged and jumped up and down..... complete strangers!

Obviously you had to be there to appreciate it, and whatever Doug does he can;t take away those memories of that night!

He says a centre half so my moneys on Matteo too

Well I voted for the OLD crest, not that bloody round thing..... the PROPER CREST the one that use to stand proud on the Trinity Road!!!!!!!
