This is like discussing which are better, apples or pears ... it's pears btw.

My copy just dropped through the letter box a day early!! I know what I'm doing when I finish work.

spacehead360 looking forward to fifa12 games with anyone, although I'm really bad. Not played footy games for years.

Downloaded season pass and now have full access to game until release next week. Never was a huge fan of FIFA, preferring PES in the past. Not this time. The game is more challenging and realistic and I love the support your team feature where your experience points gained go towards the AVFC score. Highly recommended. If anyone wants a game sometime my gamertag is spacehead360

Have been thinking about AMs imminent appointment and spoken with my 2 lads tonight. Having started to get used to the idea (we have to), I'm going to renew our 3 STs. Decided that we need to keep supporting the team and to hit the board in the pocket will hurt the club and its potential investment in strengthening the side. Logically, Lerner will need to arm AM with a decent transfer kitty to give him every chance of success otherwise the backlash will be immense if he has a bad start to the season. I've met AM and he's a decent guy. I hope fans judge him on his management now and refrain from the personal insults which he certainly does not deserve.

General This was your first ever post on the site almost 5 years ago: Do you still stand by these words General because actions speak louder than them?

Aside from the emotional reactions you are getting from everywhere, please consider the commercial implications of this move. As businesspeople, surely you must understand that this will set Randy's investment back years? Loss of season ticket sales, low attendances, reduced sponsors, low merchandise sales not to mention player unrest (what player wants to play at a club with such fan unrest). For the sake of all of this, please find a way of extracting yourselves from this awful situation.

I think the mere fact they have publicised his candidacy means he's pretty much nailed on. Why issue that statement and then say, we interviewed him and didn't appoint him?

Well, if they are going to appoint him, they'll need to back him with transfer cash to give him every chance of success, otherwise there will be thousands upon thousands of "I told you so's" if it all goes pear shaped.

I've been looking at the fb protest page and I have to say, we have our fair share of clearing in the woods as fans. Some of the personal hatred against McLeish is totally uncalled for. By all means let's criticise his football style and managerial capabilities but we shouldn't get personal. I met the guy at a function a couple of years back - in fact it was all four W Mids managers and I have to say, he was the nicest most approachable guy you could meet. When all this blows over, and if he isn't the man selected to be our manager, I hope some people look back on their comments over the last couple of days and realise how much they've overstepped the mark. I personally don't want him as our manager but that is my judgement on his professional skills and no reflection on him.

Just wondering why potential managers and Villa staff choose to meet at Villa Park, the place most certainly garanteed to generate wast amounts of twits and e-mails... If this were true I would be VERY surprised. If they do meet, it will be somewhere out of the media gaze. VP is too much of a public place.

yep chelsea have just released more or less the same statement as the general did last week, will take their time will be a couple of weeks etc where are their yellow bar mishaps? where is their week straight talksport phone in? there isnt one, why? because their fans arent biting all our lot are doing are feeding the flames, the only potential silver lining to this mccleish story is that they cant top it, when this gets denied or dies down they wont out do it The Chelsea situation is different. They have a well known plan to get Hiddink and the delay is all down to negotiating with the Turkish FA. We appear not to have a plan. A wall of silence from the club is fine by me but when you do that, good PR dictates that you have off the record conversations with trusted journos, to ensure that the message is managed appropriately rather than the free for all that we have here.

Sorry, don't know how to do links but if you go to the new manager thread on vitalvilla between pages 46-50 you'll see how it panned out for real. Richard is the name of a poster on the site who is also a facebook friend on the "Chuck Krulak" fb page. If you check out his friends list, there is indeed a richard with a surname similar to the posters user name. Whether you choose to believe it or not is up to you. If it's a fake I doff my hat to whoever wrote it cos it's a bloody good'un.

Whilst this is true. How anyone can not be alarmed by the Generals comments on the situation is beyond me. His fluff is full of holes and without any redeeming factors Shit has hit the fan because for the first time the guard has been let down. Some people are posting on here sating we're stupid for paying attention to the press. It's not the press that's got us going mental, it's the generals white flag on a facebook page that is almost confirmed as 95%+ him and not a wind up. He does not have a facebook page! Erm actually he does and it is genuine. I saw the post last night and it was confirmed by respected people that it was real.
