it's a bumped thread from last year^^ Saying that.... a disastrous run at the start of the season, followed by noses doing what they do best (turning against their own team & board), and maybe they might drop again!

Nope - it's one of them emphatic victories that will hurt them for many years. One nose at work tried to take the mickey for the Barry situation - All it took was a roger moore esque raised eyebrow to shut him up. He knew what i was thinking about

Michaels Drinks Supermarket for me

When was the last time the Villa was involved in any sort of penalty shoot-out? FA cup semi at Wembley vs Bolton in 2000? I can only think of a few in the last 15 years or so. Bolton FA cup 2000 (won) Internazionale UEFA cup 1994 (won) Tranmere Rovers League cup 1994 (won) Wimbledon FA cup 1993 (lost) Are there any more? We lost to West Ham in 1999 (southgate missing again) but this was scratched because of the ineligible Emmanuel Omoyinmi

Daddies sauce. ahh crap, wrong poll

No because they identify their club through religion and denounce the other for the same reason. That's why they're bigots. The flags are just a way of giving their religion a 'homeland'. I've always followed Celtic and am an Agnostic. I couldn't care less if someone believes in the trinity or not. For me as a plastic, Celtic have always been a symbol for the migrated Irish population (you may disagree.........but it's a personal thing). As for the pro-provo chanting, it's something I abhor and am very aware of. I follow them as many posters on here would follow their national team. They're nowhere near as important to me as Aston Villa, but if i'm in a bar on a Sunday afternoon and Celtic are on, I will watch them and hope that they will win.

They both adopted the lion rampant of Scotland which is some 700 years old (used 1st by either Willaim I or Alexander II of Scotland). Villa adopted the badge while Rangers were still relatively unkown in glasgow (Queens Park being by far the biggest club there at the time)

Daddies (not daddy) Brown sauce >> HP sauce Usually use Daddies brown, Worcestershire sauce and a smidgen of Bart hot Chilli

Isn't this the equivalent of Michael Grade answering criticism with "for the record, I've got a degree in media studies"

I voted for Talksh!te I do like Bazil in the morning. Yes, he hates Villa but a lot of Villa fans give him abuse back. (but Irani can **** off) Hawksbee and Jacobs are a good listen Durham is good when he is winding up fans of other clubs but i tend to mute him when he talks about Villa -plus he really hates the blues because of Barry Fry.

^^ best article ever ^^

I noticed Sullivan has apologised to Queudrue for naming him. What about poor old Pornodwarf on Tom Ross now trying to make out that 26,500 against us was 'almost a sell out'

worst poll ever

totally agree. West ham's booing of Reo came across as childish.

spotted this vid on youtube, the very end is quality diclaimer : not my vid

Loved the way Agent Ridgwell made sure blose beat Blackburn after he got word from special agent Roy Aitken that Reading were beating Derby.

Andy Willams of Doves is the best i've seen live.

I want Watford to go up out of that lot. Sir Graham Taylor did his apprenticeship there. Plus, on a selfish level, I can see the other 3 clubs charging 35-45 quid for away fans

loving this, I like the number three idea aswell so hows about the 2nd verse being; From the town of Helmond Hes now the mighty villas number three Yeah this is really good - i think it scans better without the 'now' in line 4 with a longer 'heees' Freddie, Freddie Bouma He's the best left-back in history From the, town of Helmond He's the mighty Villas number three I'll give it a go at Everton on Sunday (though me throat is still sore from Sunday)

Got half a song for Bouma. To the tune of the flinstones: Freddie, Freddie Bouma He's the best left-back in history now if someone can come up with a decent 2nd verse.................

^^BUMP^^ (no pun intended) Anyone changed their minds?

Little Stevie G does not dive. He is such an exceptional, universe-class player that he faints at his own, out of this world, ability.

Oscar Wilde award for the wittiest, most unpredictable post of the year

That's part of the beauty of the game. You can be fat, small, tall, nimble or strong but if you can do your job right, you can play the game.

surely Leopold II should be on the list
