I think it was more the picking out the 1 mistake at a set time in the match that annoyed people. He played well in the match and had 1 **** up, you can't putt him down on one mistake imo, everyone else made a mistake.

Like Petrov trying fancy flicks resulting in giving the ball away and setting up a Blackburn attack.

Were these the same fancy flicks that saw Petrov go past a Blackburn defender and have a well struck but too centrally placed shot on goal?

doing it in the final third with plenty of cover behind you not so bad, but in your own half when being pressed and getting caught is criminal.

his one touch passing is in general very good compared to other first teamers

1. How far we have come!!!!!!!! Comment after comment re. the attendance. As I have said more than once, the attendance was 38,000+! We will try to correct the "beeb" and others who got it wrong but what is to worry...the end results of attendance in the Premiership will have it right. We cannot always get the media to "get it right"...we give them the numbers but they transpose or mistype a number. This too shall pass.

General as i type this post even our own Official Site still has our attendance down wrong at 32k.

So before we try and correct the beeb and others can we please make sure we get it right on our Official Site first as it would not look good correcting others when we cant get it right ourselves.

Hi General, I would just like to follow up on the attendance mix up as it shows us as having only 32k on most sites when it was announced 38k in the ground.

Many Thanks for the time and work you put in on the site.

General

Could you please find out what is the hold up with regards to the new OS. I was told on here that it would be up and running in September.

Many Thanks.

6. Away Fans. I understand you think it is "easy" but there are unintended consequences of just throwing people out of the stadium. As I mentioned in my last post, we WILL solve this!! I went to some length in my post to indicate that we are working with security, police, catering, stewards, etc. to fix this issue. We KNOW it exists..

I don't mean to badger you, and I'm sure you are doing your best to sort this out, General, but could you give us an idea of what these "unintended consequences" are?

I'd back this up, what is so difficult about refusing entry to away fans who have away tops on, as was the case on saturday, and what are the unintended consequences you speak of?

Again General i would also like to know what the "unintended consequences" would be...? Rules are rules and as it states seating areas for home fans only how on earth are away fans wearing away shirts let into home areas and once spotted being allowed to remain in the home area if they remove/cover or turn insideout their shirts...?

1. Although I have commented on this many times before, let me state again: MON and scouts look at players. They know, better than anyone, what our Club needs both now and in the future. They do the negotiating supported by finance and legal folks at Villa. Richard Fitzgerald does NOT get involved with players. Richard is in charge of marketing and sales within the Club...with driving our Brand world-wide. As an example, he was instrumental in the Nike deal. He does NOT get involved with players. Randy talks to MON...and when MON says that he wants a player, Randy writes the check. You have seen this happen with several players...Young, Carew, Coker are examples. Simply put, this is how it works.

2. I have found no place in B'ham as yet. I normally stay at New Hall when I am in UK.

3. Club accepts money orders. We will have our kit in many more stores as a result of deal with Nike.

Hi General

question 1 you say MON says he wants the player and Mr Lerner writes the cheque.

You have used Young,Carew and Coker as examples of this.

I was under the impression that we did a straight swap/trade with Baros and Carew , are you able to confirm this as it may lead people into thinking that we payed a fee for Carew.

Many Thanks

Hi General

Can i first thank you for taking the time to read and answer most of the posts on the forum.

Could you confirm that we did a straight swap/trade with Carew and Baros..? I only ask bacause you used Carew in an earlier post as 1 of 3 examples that Mr Lerner signed the cheques for MON for these players.

Many Thanks
