Reo-Coker is unhappy by all accounts, certainly not pulling his weight at West Ham. Listened to 606 briefly last night and plenty of spammers were moaning about him on there, saying that if he wanted to go to Arsenal he could but wouldn't get in their under 5s team (presumably because he's not under 5 so wouldn't be allowed, oh and he's not French).

It's been talked about a fair bit on this thread already and the answer was basically, yes there will be one.

Great idea General, unfortunately I won't be there to see it but I'll be there in spirit! Hope he's well enough to make it as I know Dennis told him to come along to the "Rotterdam Revisited" night but he wasn't well enough to make it.

So an atteacking player like Walcott goes for £5 million; how come he would cost £6 million. I think he’s worth £4m max, and then addons; such as Wales making the world cup Ok you maybe right, but in addons it would come to at least £6m, probably nearer 10, with about 2 up front.

Bale would cost more than we're willing to pay I'm sure. He's got a massive reputation at the moment so will cost about £6m I reckon, being linked with the big clubs trebles your value. Not like he's a hidden talent is it?

Don't know if you heard it General but there was an interview with Doug on Radio 5 tonight and he had glowing praise for you, talking about what you said to him that made him feel good about when you left the marines and you were like a fish out of water and that you knew how he must be feeling. So nice one, top bloke.

Maybe he means playing against us after his performance at VP earlier this season...

I have to say I think I could quite easily "terrorise" Roberto Carlos, that's like saying someone "terrorised" Jlloyd Samuel.

General, these appointments are fantastic, while obviously never having heard of either of them there's no way we can doubt the quality of them, will be absolutely awesome. Great to hear you're doing your job for nothing as well, get Randy to buy you a house in Birmingham as a thank you!

Very good Drat

That's one of my favourite posts in a long time!

Phillips? Anybody? No?

Why build a statue like that now when we'll have to update it so soon? :winkold:

So we could sign a promising Utd youngster? I don't think so.

Who does McShane play for? I've heard the name but can't place him.

Even Barca have a sponsor now (albeit UNICEF), its the way of the world, we're going to raise money every way we can, the amount 32red paid was tiny, the next amount will be far more I'm sure. Also its not just MG who were cursed, they all were, but I agree, it did look good.

Not that bothered about the kit, if we've got a team in Europe they can wear this for all I care...

I think SSN said 96. Not that it really matters...

Thought you couldn't make it, would no-one take your ticket?

How did the away support look/sound from in with the Chelsea lot Jim?

Don't worry General, we're not the sort of fans who'll over-react to a result like this, this time last year I froze up at Doncaster where we lost 3-0, if you don't know about that night Doncaster are a side 2 divisions below us, up north, near where I live when I'm not ill. Anyway we took a good following up there that night (though nowhere near 6000 of course but we sold out the allocation) and again made a huge amount of noise, helped by the fact it was terracing. And we got humiliated, I've never been so embarassed to be a Villa fan. Tonight we were soundly beaten by one of the best sides in Europe, I can almost accept that, but that night in Doncaster was an absolute humiliation and hopefully the sort of night that is in the distant past now. Also I hope you realise the morons who threw stuff from the crowd are in a total minority, it was 1 or 2 people out of 6000, and hopefully it won't make you regret the gesture, it was an awesome gesture, one which I would have loved to have taken advantage of but circumstances conspired against me. I hope you can identify these 'fans' and that their actions won't stop you from such action in future. Have a good time in the States.

Does this mean you were out of the country and not able to vote? Or do they have a postal vote system (which would no doubt be abused like mad).

And such a great waste of electricity, with all this talk of carbon emissions and all that we wouldn't be setting the best example! I love Bicks' idea of the AV floodlights back though, it was something I considered posting myself, we might struggle with planning permission and I'm not sure how it would work with the new stands (I assume they were free standing before but I've only ever seen photos) but if it was possible its a great idea. I'm not talking about lighting it full time each and every night. It wouldnt take much to light the 3 stands when the resteraunt is open in the evenings - plus, The General has already said its a good idea, so there!!! He's American! He probably drives a hummer just to go to the corner shop :winkold: (or whatever the American equivalent of a corner shop is, the kwik-e-mart )
