Reality

Don't let the General read that. He wouldn't be too happy with you having a go at Faulkner. Any time I've noticed him he never seems interested in our football. He should piss off and teach history or some bollocks.

It is depressing if anything.

Very uninspiring indeed. But I've came to expect the worst anyway.

Thanks for the tip off Reality, they'll be a drink in this for you. I've just sold my house, my car, my dog, my arse, everything to lump on this. Dale Tempest is broke in the morning, cheers Aye, the source said to tell the lads to get their houses on this one.

Avenged Sevenfold - Nightmare

Mike Bassett has just been suspended by the local bookies here. Some man on a hunch came in threw a few grand on it. Says he's a nailed on cert. Happy days,

McClaren only went to Wolfsburg this summer. Will not be him.

To be fair though, it is not just about the Inland Revenue, it stretches back to past deals at West Ham.

I agree. It is all well and good playing good football, but if that results in getting less points then it isn't worth it, especially if you are a team that are tipped to be fighting a relegation battle.

To be fair though they didn't / don't exactly have the best players.

If anyone can find me a clip of that I will be eternally grateful. Although, the best antics at a match is the Bowyer - Dyer handbags at dawn fight.

Woulnt be able to quite chuck it at teh dugout properly anymore, just a piece of card and wont sail through the air as well Which reminds me of a fan that ran up to a manager and threw his season ticket at him. Was it McClaren?

Pathetic if it is Curbishley. Absolutely pathetic. You chuckin in ya season ticket too? No, I'm staging a protest calling for the return of DOL.

Pathetic if it is Curbishley. Absolutely pathetic.

Carlos Quieroz (sp?) has just been suspended for 6 months. :@

I just hope Lerner pulls something out of the bag. That would be fantastic. This summer I shall be reminded of Milner leaving, no other signings and constantly being linked with Bob **** Bradley. :@

Curbishley is only taking this job because nobody else wants him. Why should we have a second rate?

He's also not a central midfielder though is he, which has been said all summer.

Whereas most of the other 21 players on show had only played one game in 4 months? What's the difference? Most? Where are you getting that from? Apart from 4 players - Guzan, Beye, Davies, and Reo-Coker the rest of the squad played in the Premier League last year and mostly on a week to week basis at some stage. Ireland did not have that luxury, or anything like it. Read the post again mate eh. Wasn't exactly clear "mate", considering we were talking about two different matches. And still, your point is shite. The rest of the squad had played consistent PL football apart from two. The Newcastle side played in the Championship, were at home and wanted revenge for us relegating them. The majority of the other players also had a pre-season with the same squad. They weren't playing with unfamiliar players. Were they "mate"?

Well said.

Randy pointed out how City didn't do it the proper way in regard to Milner they just kept bidding and asking ever after we said no, resulting in the players head being turned. I'd imagine its the same with managers we just keep on asking asking asking Everton for example its not the proper way imo. Up to now we've done the things properly and always seem to do quite well out of it. City just buy themselves it and piss everyone off. You want Villa to be run like that then fine, but dont go moaning about other clubs doing it to us. Of course we've done quite well out of it, we keep letting clubs run all over us.

No, he stopped off for a croissant.

Fine if you want Villa to be run like that. But we'd be no better than City who you've moaned about in regards to how they went about Milner. Doesn't guarantee we will get our man, it does guarantee you'll piss people off and be no better than City. Your posts are just contradicting themselves. Oh and it would also involve Moyes actually wanting to come. How are they contradicting themselves exactly? Please point out the specific contradiction. Also, could you answer the questions that I posed. You talk about this "proper" way which is a very vague and unambiguous term.

I am not talking about running our club like City, spending buckets of cash. Ie, go for Moyes. **** Everton, or what they think. Other clubs would easily do it to us. They've tried to take our best players. Played little mind games in the press etc and all that bullshit. Its time we did it as well. What is the "proper" way? Because I see other clubs screwing each other all the time. And "who" actually cares about this "proper" way? Respect from who?
