Welcome Luna. I like your beard and tats. Logged onto AVTV to watch his interview and I've been cut off again. Bah! They did this last year, the few months you really want to watch the videos on there and they stop the free subscription to season ticket holders. But if that's my biggest complaint about Villa this year, then I...can't...complain... EDIT: I was putting in the wrong password

"Newcastle's Derek Llambias quit after Joe Kinnear pulled the plug on Douglas transfer. New director of football had never heard of FC Twente defender. Who has played in Champions League. And been in Holland squad." I know it's old news now, but this is just brilliant. Even I've heard of him and I know nuttin'. Just when I thought Newcastle weren't a laughing stock any more, they go and do something like this. Incredible.

I'm funny with squad numbers, I like them all to be perfect. I love the part of the season on Football Manager when you get to choose them. It really annoys me seeing Kone and Dempsey both wearing the number 2 shirt. It's not right!!!

According to that talksport interview Kinnear said he was due to meet with Pardew yesterday, I think. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation.

You typed 'fuckwits', put your phone in your pocket and left said cubicle after typing this right?

I was once given a strong word by a teacher because I didn't stand up and pray at the start of class. They said I was creating an atmosphere. From that day on I stood up, walked to the window and commentated on football matches on the pitches outside. They would be half-way through an our father and I would say something like 'red card, referee!'. Looking back, it's mad thinking what I was taught in school. I seem to remember being taught Noah's Ark as if it was fact. I'd love to ask my 9 year old self my feelings on religion and god, because I really can't remember what I thought at that age. Would you say your experience is similar to that of the average Brit? Raised religious, then drifted away as adulthood came along? That's the strange thing, I wasn't raised religious at all, I wasn't even christened. My school wasn't any kind of religious school either, but we had to sing hymns everyday and learn about Moses and Adam and Eve etc. I think we had to recite 'the lords prayer' before eating too. It still happens today I believe, my fiancée is training to become a Primary School teacher at the moment and non-religious teachers still sit round every morning with mostly non-religious pupils singing about how great Jesus is. It's crazy, really. I think that's probably the average Brit's experience too, but I could be completely wrong.

Out of interest Andy, when do you have to submit the attributes etc, of the players? Will you be rating our new signings?

Calthorpe Road for me Hagley Road, me, Barclays

I just popped over to smallheathalliance.com for a giggle. and 3 of their current top 5 topics are about us, bless 'em.

Yeah, personally I think Lambert meant, 'don't expect to have ever heard of any of them', price being irrelevant.

There's a woman on our team at work this week looking over what we do and I cannot understand a word she says. There's only so many times I can say '...sorry?'. It's getting a bit awkward now, there's a few times when she's asked me a question and I've just had to smile.

Ooh, we're very close Houlston, I'm looking at the Marriott from my window right now (...that's a lie, i was looking at my keyboard)

When I was about 6/7, a kid who lived over the road from me asked me if I supported Albion or Villa. I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. I just took a punt and said Villa. He responded with utter disgust and said I should support Albion. I went home and told my dad I supported Albion and he responded in much the same way the kid did, telling me I should support Villa. I still had no idea what they were talking about. But yeah, that's why I'm a Villa fan, just 'cause of my dad. That was about 1993/94.

The home kit looks so much nicer without the sponsor on it.

I love the home kit, still not sure about the away one

I'm starting to dislike Vlaar's face

There's a '3rd kit' tab on the new online shop with black and pink on the colour filter. When was the last time we had a 3rd kit? The away one has black, grey and white.

Nah...cos when I see it tomorrow I'm going to make my own anyway

Yeah, unveiled tomorrow. Odd though, it makes the kit launch a bit...rubbish.

Express and Star are reporting we're not interested

Same as most, I don't support any other teams but other teams I like... Arsenal - I've always liked them and now I've developed a soft spot for them since listening regularly to 'The Tuesday Club' podcast. Leyton Orient - My (future) father-in-law's club so I always went to them to do well. Shrewsbury Town - For no other reason that I usually start a game with them on Football Manager. And I like the town. Halesowen Town - Just because I live there.

It just has to be the original '3 lions' for me, brings back great memories.

I remember telling a woman at work I'd just watched all of 'Life on Mars' and was about to start watching 'Ashes to Ashes' and she just talked about the ending and how it finishes. She wasn't been horrible, I think she was just confused between the two shows and their endings, but I still really felt like punching her on the nose.
