32, 6'2", 12st.

I would like to echo the sentiments of both posts above.

Also, do you have any idea on season ticket prices next year yet, General?

Surely has to be off target. Unless it hits the woodwork and goes in/has taken a deflection/is saved and hits the woodwark yada yada.

Hero for me. Amazing attitude, and I think he genuinely was a very, very talented player too. Not surprised he often suffered with confidence, but always got on with the job, and we did see flashes of his brilliance.

Completely agree OBE. Good read.

Info is up on the OS now Jez (not sure if you've seen yet) that tickets go on sale on Tuesday 22nd July to season card holders and people who attended eight or more away games last year. Wednesday July 30th for supporters with a booking history and general sale on Friday August 1st. It's a Category A game. There's info on the Liverpool game tickets too.

Oh and General, my 13 year old brother has recently decided to become a Villa fan rather than a Liverpool supporter. He loves football and has always supported them, but after coming to a few Villa games last season he's now thrown away all his Liverpool stuff and will be buying a shirt and attending as many games as possible (he plays football on Saturdays so can't get him a ST) in the coming season. Just wondered if you thought, by any chance, that he's made a good decision?

Keep up the good work.

Red.

Hot.

Chili.

Peppers.

So many albums. Just one song. (Or so it seems.)

Where are they from again? I'm sure someone once told me they're from the West Coast of America, but I'm not sure which state. If only they'd mention it in a song, my question would be answered.

I actually really like RHCP. Frusciante in particular is awesome.

And being pedantic, Anthony Kiedis is from Michigan RHCP have also released a huge amount of songs, and I can only think of two or three which mention California. They just happened to be two of the more recent hits.

Carvel - John Frusciante

I'm studying English Lit as of September so will need to start reading much more often.

Saw Oryx and Crake and Handmaid's Tale mentioned, both of which I thought were brilliant. I've been advised to read Shantaram next, any good? This will be followed by 1984 (apparently it's shocking that I haven't read it yet!).

General, what do you look forward to most about the new season?

Redknapp? lol

I've been impressed with Ballack tonight.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF!

Haha, that was clearly going to happen once I'd commented.

I've been impressed with Ballack tonight.

Thought that was going in!

Okay, the commentators' bias towards United - particularly Ronaldo - is really annoying me now.

Don't really mind who wins personally. If I had to choose it'd probably be United though, so there were still only four English clubs to have won the cup.

I really don't like the commentary at all.

Tyldesley and Pleat always annoy me.

I agree with BOF, they know.

Don't listen to the Podcasts etc but from what I've read, it's been said that despite lots of new shocks, twists etc, a lot of the questions posed in previous series will be answered and haven't been forgotten.

If they didn't actually know what to do, with the vastly numerous unanswered questions, seasons 5 and 6 would be farcical as they tried to pick up the pieces and put them together.

With regards to what someone said about season tickets, i am planning on getting a season ticket in the Holte for next season but the friend i go with (being from London he's the only one i know!) isn't able to get to every match so he will just come to some of them, is there any way of getting a seat that i know won't be next to other season ticket holders so i can sit next to him when he comes? Never had a season ticket before so im not sure how this works.

Razor, I have a season ticket in the Upper Holte and go by myself for around half of the matches. The rest of them I go with my girlfriend, brother and/or friends etc and it's easy to get seats together. Just ring up the ticket office and when you're booking their ticket(s), ask for your season ticket seat to be moved so you are sat next to your friend(s). They will then either tell you which seat you're in and load it onto your season card, or de-activate your season card and send you a ticket (value £0, "ST exchange") with the others for your seat.

Works well for me; I think it's quite good really. Hope this helps (and saves the General an answer).

And while I'm here: General K, you are a legend!

19 here.

I voted number two. Agree that 3 would look much better without the numbers on the trophies.

Some of the song suggestions on here really are poor and will never catch on.

Merry Christmas General K, hope you have a great one

And that has what to do with potential signings, exactly?

If it hadn't of been for Fat Freddy we'd have signed Milner last August as well

It was nothing to do with Bouma! :winkold:

I wouldn't want Smith mainly for the reasons already mentioned, ie he doesn't offer us anything we haven't got in any position. He would also demand pretty high wages, I imagine.
