Seems a popular decision in my neck of the woods, there's flags and bunting all over the shop

If Man Utd field a weakened team next week and lose to Blackpool do you think they will get fined? If Blues get relegated because if it, where can I chip in to pay a pints worth of it?

The Prime Minister is a Villa Fan. (well sort of.. ish..eh)

I'm guessing its boose. Red for wine, green for beer and blue for vodka. Grey cos those are Muslim countries?

Waht was the email from Jack Woodward for those of us without a stream?

Gen, here are some comments from a couple of out of the way footie websites I frequent, non of these folks are Villa fans. 'Fair play. ' 'indeed' 'Randy Lerner seems v cool ' 'what's new? newcastle have used their shirt to sponser a charity for years now ' 'well done villa.' 'i'd watch them, they're up to something' 'Good work Villa. Glad to see another team doing the right thing. ' and from another site: 'Aston Villa announce they are to have on the front of their shirts a local childrens hospital, at no charge. I mean, much as I'd like to scoff at the blandness of the choice and so on, it really is a good, worthwhile gesture. And having a local charity rather than Barca's self-glamourising UNICEF shirts is a sensible decision.' 'Why would anyone "scoff" at the "blandness of a children's hospital? I hope Aston Villa go on to win the league with that sponsorship.' 'Randy Lerner again demonstrates that he is the classiest owner in the Premier League. Bravo.' For my own part I am very proud that the club decided to do this.

Hello General, like StewieGriffen I consider this place to be the best arena for any opening post. For no other reason than to thank you for the enthusiasm you show for your job here at Aston Villa. Sir, your CV reads like no other in English football, and having told my work mates about you they are truely astonished that Villa have blokes of your calabre behind us. And might add posting and communicating with the supporters. They will find out next season exactly having what blokes of your calabre behind us means. OK, facts stated, may I go off at a tanget? I've had a few conversations with Leeds fans over the years and we remain convinved that the timing of the first Gulf war was down to George Bush the Elder being a Villa fan. I know Sir it sounds odd, and I think maybe your were over there, but over here Villa played away to Leeds in the League Cup and lost 4-1 that night. This was before SKY TV and the highlights of the game were shown on Midweek Sports special on ITV which started at 10.30pm. The 'Highlights' lasted about 30 mins before going back to the studio where an ashen faced presenter said we were being transfers to the ITV news studios. Que 'Bombing of Baghdad' Take 1. Now I know I dont like Villa losing, but I sat there thing: 'Blimey, George Bush must be really pissed off. Various Villa and Leeds fans who watched these think the same. So can you confirm who 41 supports please? Gawd bless ya.
