  1. 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.
  2. Yes, compared to the same Bohemians that have never even reached the third qualifying round of the Champions League?
  3. Like we did in forgoing shirt sponsorship because we could afford it and having Acorns on our shirt?
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Ha, I didn't spot the one on the end.
  7. 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!
  8. We're actually the only club in the Premier League who haven't signed anyone yet. Hooray! (And still 269 pages in here).
  9. That their signature is better than they'res on that other Villa forum. Their stupid over there.
  10. 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.
  11. They're just selfish, putting 'me' in front of everything. Oh, and if anyone does have a decent knowledge of German, please check out the last post on the previous page - I don't want it to get missed!
  12. Anyone with a knowledge of German fancy helping me out? I'm trying to translate a letter (English into German) for a friend at work who wants to write to a distant German relative. I have a basic knowledge of German from A-level (three years ago now) and am struggling with certain parts. Firstly, they want to open the letter with 'This is your cousin Beth from England'. In a letter situation, I'm unsure how to put that. I've got 'Hier schreibt Ihre Kusine Beth aus England' but I'm not sure about it. There are also smaller aspects, such as whether to use 'Sie' (I've decided to, being as they haven't been in touch in years apparently) and how to finish the letter, etc. At the moment I'm going with 'Mit besten Grüßen'. Help would be appreciated, didn't want to start a new thread though!
  13. Källström's hardly the quickest! And he's only just over a couple of years younger than Petrov. I'd still have liked to have seen us sign him though, purely because we share a first name!
  14. Depending on signings (both our own and the teams' around us) I'm going to say seventh at the moment. Won't vote until the end of the transfer window.
  15. What's the weather like in Dreamland at this time of year?
  16. Wow, you really overrate the lad :winkold:
  17. Finally read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas recently. Absolutely fantastic book. Ordered The Rum Diary yesterday. Talking of Kafka, The Metamorphosis is brilliant. I have a book of his short stories and shall read more over summer.
  18. This thread is really interesting to me as I'm seriously looking into doing the same with my lady friend, specifically in South Korea. We're looking at doing it after we complete our degrees next summer, but were somewhat put off recently when reading of the scams, and also the difficulty in finding somewhere where we could both teach and live together etc. How difficult did you find this, Wainy?
  19. There is absolutely no chance of Villa signing Khedira.
  20. I think Ramos is a relatively good player, but it seems he may be replaced if Real sign Maicon.
  21. I've got Moon but haven't watched it yet. I read Matt Berry is in it - does he feature much, and is his role serious?
