err... how you say... err... tish not guud... yah?

Is that much?

I don't rate Allardyce as a manager or like the style of football his teams play. There is also something about the man I really dislike. It could just be his whinging or the gum chewing but I really hope Randy looks elsewhere!

:| Money is very important but I don't think a man who spent £4 million on renovating an historic ruin will sign a manager just because it brings the club a week of interest in the U.S. I'm not saying Bradley won't be considered, just that it would be for his football credentials (not great in my opinion), and not for the very temporary publicity it would bring in the U.S.

Buy a Gollum mask?

When asked about the vacancy Kamara said "O'Neill's gone? Really? When? I must have missed that... I thought he was at lunch..."

So you're naturally hairless everywhere except your scalp? Want to try reading what I wrote again? :bonk: :? I still read it that you haven't any body/pubic hair and therefore don't trim and that if you did have body/pubic hair you would trim. Unless you only have a tiny amount that you deem untrimmable?

So you're naturally hairless everywhere except your scalp?

Sounds like a lot of work; is this a twice weekly vigil or does it involve periods of torso stubble? Does it itch when growing back? Wet shave razor or body groomer?

Check the link from the original post for a suitable appliance which will simply trim shorter or shave smooth, as required.

I wouldn't hype it up and by calling it a 'furore'. It was just a couple of posters stating things like it was 'small time' but then not explaining why having the same sponsor as another team makes any difference to having an exclusive deal! :|

I still don't know why you think FxPro's deal with Fulham makes our deal 'small time'. Surely the only thing that matters is the value of Villa's contract with FxPro? Would you prefer a £5m per year exclusive deal with company A or a £6m per year deal with company B (who also happens to sponsor one or more other clubs in our league)?

Was that to my post? :winkold:

I've read a couple of similar comments on this thread. If I'm right the following stats might explain why I don't think it's small time to have the same sponsor as another team. Villa's last paying sponsor was 32 Red (exclusive to Villa at the time) - reported at £0.9m per year to Villa. FxPro deal (not exclusive) - reported at £6m per year to Villa. I'd be open to a decent explanation as to why it is 'small time' to have the same sponsor as another team. I genuinely don't know why it matters. :?

I actually like our new kits. 8 out of 10 for home, 7 out of 10 for away. The fact that the Sun rates it at 2/10 proves I am right. Thanks tabloid-trash!

I've spoken to quite a few Villa fans about the new kit and the majority really like the checks down the side panels; even if it's just as a one off way of making the kit look modern and new and yet keeping the traditional look of a claret body (front and back), with blue sleeves. Perhaps the club should release half a dozen new kits per season, ranging from the very traditional/conservative which looks the same all the time, to the ultra modern with changes to our basic home colours of claret and blue? Knowing there is a necessity to produce a kit that looks different enough from the previous seasons to readily notice a difference (last season's kit sales must have suffered from looking very similar to the previous season's kit), in the opinion of those I have spoken to, the new kit for 2010-11 is a decent compromise.

When you see it you will shit bricks.

General, I'd be grateful if you would answer a question which seems very pertinent at this time. Here goes: How many times did you hear - "Are we there yet?"

I think most would agree with the above, however doesn't getting rid depend on Villa receiving an acceptable bid? The only hard offer I know of is £18m, clearly not enough. There is talk of a £24m bid, but now that Milner's request is public, how little should Villa accept? How do Villa 'get rid' if the final offer is around £20m?

I thought Clegg was in the government? Now I am confused! :?

Let's face it, the kits would better with NO words on them. As this would mean the club would miss out on around £20m in the next 3 years, the kits will have words on. However, as long as the words are not offensive, I don't think the club could dictate, to a company paying millions, what it should do with allocated space on the kits, just because fewer words look slightly better!

:shock:. Its clearly red. And it looks shit. Saying it looks 'shit' doesn't leave much room for a stronger dislike, does it? It's a bit of red lettering on a black kit that most fans seem to really like. The red lettering might not be to my taste and it could be said that it doesn't look quite right. But 'shit'? Surely this term should be reserved to describe the likes of Everton's away kit?

The likes of MM have confirmed the deal is a big step up from previous years of scratching around for deals in the £1m per year range. IMO Randy's resistance in selling our name 'cheaply' has put a premium on the value of the main club sponsorship, i.e. the Acorns deal really was a win-win. I've read that FxPro have also agreed to help Acorns as part of this deal. I don't know if this is with cash or sharing advertisment space alongside Acorns such as yesterday's kit launch, but again it's a win for the club and a win for Acorns. Well done to Randy and his team.
