Been posted before i think... Great article.

I didn't think it was bad, in fact I quite enjoyed it. Certainly not a classic, and it did have its faults, but a decent watch overall imo.

Biffy Clyro - Diary of Always

The only person who might possibly be available who I'd be happy with getting the job atm is Carlos Quieroz. Otherwise, I think it's wise to wait for the right man, but I'm still not too confident with McDonald in the short-term.

Harry Kewl doesn't even play for us.

One thing that I think most Villa fans seem to struggle with is that Manchester City are now much, much more likely to win things than Villa. Yes, they may crash and burn in the long term. Yes, they may not even gel in the short term; Mancini may leave and they may remain trophyless for a couple of seasons. However, if they don't win anything, Villa probably won't be winning anything either - Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and possibly Tottenham will be winning things. That's not to say that Villa might not gain a League Cup, FA Cup or even Europa League trophy in the forthcoming seasons. It's just that, even if it is all down to £££, only one club out of ourselves and Manchester City stands any realistic chance of winning the Premier League for the remainder of James Milner's career, barring some unforseen heavy investment into Villa or a complete City collapse. By extension, it's possible that City may even win the Champions League at some point in the not too distant future. I hope they don't, and I'd rather see them crash and burn. I'd have loved to have seen Milner stay at Villa, just like I wanted Barry to stay. But Manchester City are going to offer these players - these human beings - huge amounts of money to play for them, with a significantly greater chance of winning silverware. Yes, Milner may be more likely to be dropped at Man City, but I'm sure that's a risk that such a hard-working and confident young man is willing to take. He may lose his place in the England squad if he ever is dropped, something which may have been much less likely at Villa. But if he does blossom at City, it will probably carry both James Milner and Manchester City forward. He could end up England captain; I don't think that would have happened while he was playing for an Aston Villa side who aren't in the top four. Sorry if I seem pessimistic, but to me this is just realism. At the end of the day, we have an excellent player in Stephen Ireland and I'd love to see us push on. I just can't see us pushing ahead of Manchester City, unless we manage to do so in a one-off season. If we do though, and do it through doing things the proper way - the Aston Villa way - then I'll be as proud as anyone. And I'll support the team in that push.

I'm sure they will, but surely the government might as well make money out of it? As for ALL.IV.1's comments regarding driving whilst stoned, there should be much stricter punishments if it were to be legalised. And there are plans for roadside drug testing kits to be introduced in the near future, too.

I hear they have competition for his signature in the form of Huddersfield. They won the league three times in a row once upon a time, so Rovers will probably lose out.

I live in Lincoln, and the issue of cannabis farms has been on the front page recently. There's an article from the Guardian online today, too: So what's the answer? To me, it should be decriminalised and taxed. Cut out the crime, free up the police, and bring money into the coffers. Or is my view too simplistic?

My sentiments are the same as those who've argued for banning it so far. No animal should be made to suffer for our 'pleasure'.

I can imagine that it's due to the sponsor etc that the kit is being released so late, but either way, I don't think I'm going to purchase one. I didn't buy last season's kit but did intend to get this one, but with the late release (and the fact that I'm not all that keen on it) I don't think I'll bother now.

Yes, compared to the same Bohemians that have never even reached the third qualifying round of the Champions League?

I don't think they're quite as good as Sporting!

Like we did in forgoing shirt sponsorship because we could afford it and having Acorns on our shirt?

Tell you what, their website looks a lot better than ours!

I don't mind the traditional Brazilian names, but I've always been annoyed by 'Hulk' and I think that 'Chicharito' is stupid too. Just have Hernandez ffs.

Toy Story 3 is indeed brilliant. I was pondering where it stood in terms of all times best film trilogies myself, but not sure you could say it's better than the original Star Wars films? Three fantastic set of movies either way.

Almost certainly.

Ha, I didn't spot the one on the end.

Sack the board.

Spurs, Blackburn and Blackpool. Tottenham have signed Sandro, Blackburn have signed a young defender called Hugo Fernandez, and Dekel Keinan is only waiting on a work permit before he signs for Blackpool, who have also had a couple of players on trial. Admittedly none of those are head-turners, but it's not particularly inspiring from a Villa point of view that we seem to be behind every other team in the league in terms of transfer progress. For the record, I'm not complaining and am happy for MON to do his job in his way. I'd rather us sign no-one than another Djemba-Djemba! Just wanted to highlight how boring it is for us compared to other clubs, and that it's crazy that there have been well over 4000 posts in this thread without a single signing!

We're actually the only club in the Premier League who haven't signed anyone yet. Hooray! (And still 269 pages in here).

That their signature is better than they'res on that other Villa forum. Their stupid over there.

My mum suffers from very bad migraines, and it really annoys her when people who have a headache claim they have a migraine. Or, people who have experienced a mild migraine and try to sympathise with her, explaining that it was difficult to work/put up with the kids/make dinner or something similar. When my mum gets a bad migraine, she can be in bed for pretty much two or three days solid and is practically incapable of doing anything.
