No doubt this e-mail will be ignored considering your too busy responding to the e-mails of certain Blues Directors, but for some reason i feel this club has gone full 360 and returned to the days of Doug Ellis, fans planning protests. When we appointed Houllier, I thought the whole reasoning was to change the 'philosophy' of the club. Now we are looking at some whose football is worse than MON's, we have great youth coming through at VP, you tell me which players has McLeish ever brought through? no doubt we'll be linked to Kenny Miller in this window. General Krulak's comments are a disgrace to those who pay, by making out McLeish will be better due to the resources available. I'm sorry but we're a mid-table club and unfortunately i think you as a BOARD have accepted this. Villa fans are being attacked by every media outlet for being fickle, and we have had no protection from our club to support us but then you expect us to give you our support because you're in charge. Randy you have done so many great things for this club and i'm still in hope you will continue this but by appointing McLeish you will lose a lot of support. Many fans will not renew if this man is appointed it's that simple, I'm still in two minds whether to ask for a refund as I love my club but i will not be able to bare the site of every Saturday arriving at VP thinking of Rugby football. My gripe with McLeish is nothing to do with Blues, it's the fact is football is worse than MON and i cannot for the life of me ever see him taking us forwards. At this moment in time i would rather you have kept Gerard Houllier.

An e-mail I've sent to Villa.

Facepalm.

General Krulak's comments? Which ones? The ones one on mother-loving FACEBOOK? Really hard to set up a duff account on Facebook called Charlie Krulak if you're abored nose ay it?

For the love of God. What is wrong with people?

It's been about two weeks without a manager. In close season. When everyone is on holiday. What's the rush.

People going ape about hating Lerner because of this McLeish bollocks? All we have is **** Peter Pan shouting his mouth off, and a fake General's comment on Facebook.

Incidentally, Randy Lerner messaged me on flippin' Bebo earlier and told me he thinks McLeish is a word removed, so there you go, no need to worry. I can prove it's genuine because I talk complete bollocks.

Calm the **** down - it's embarrassing!

If I was a bit less poor this month I'd be laying this like a bitch. Just had £20 on it though. not a chance in hell. Would be suicidal of Randy.

What is this H bollocks about...? I'm sure it's somewhere in the last 258 pages, but....

I was listening to Classic FM a few weeks back and they played Handel's Sarabande - it was probably the most stunnign thing I've ever heard, but I don't know who it was performed by, and consequentially will probably never find it again, which is doing my head in.

Solo piano?

Almost certainly Gabriela Montero

Top classical totty!

Naw, full orchestra - from Xann's advice, I think it was a czech orchestra, but my laptop died while I was looking, so I'll have a look in a bit

I think I basiclaly like anything Stanley Kubrick likes

I really want to get into classical music more, but find it quite impenetrable trying to get to know who's who and what's what, and it's not like a certain piece that you hear and love is easily findable, as there are so many different recordings. For example, I was listening to Classic FM a few weeks back and they played Handel's Sarabande - it was probably the most stunnign thing I've ever heard, but I don't know who it was performed by, and consequentially will probably never find it again, which is doing my head in.

Anyone got any recommendations for me...? I don't like tippy-tappy classical music... I like it bolshy, brash and slightly mental. Like that Sarabande, or Purcell's Funeral March of Queen Mary. O Fortuna from Carmina Burana, and Mars and Jupiter by Holst... that sort of powerful stuff I find amazing, but no idea where I should go and look for more....

I'd kill anyone who harmed my cat. He's brilliant.

WTF?!

Applaud, and hope he liked it enough here to come back when he gets bired of coming iff the city bench to play on the wing...

to the people that think this is an embarrassing idea and do not wish to participate in this project, then can you move onto another thread because we would not like to hear the criticism and negative attitudes. i believe that what we are trying to achieve here is brilliant and that it would improve the atmosphere astonishingly. Plus it would give VT a pretty good press too, 'the forum that founded the AVFC anthem'

Okay. Good luck. Genuinely.

The problem with Holte enders in the Sky is you'd be isolating the other 3 stands in the ground. It needs to be a song about aston Villa for all villa supporters not just for those lucky enough to sit in the holte End.

Important not to isolate the walls of noise that are the Trinity and the Doug Ellis eh?

Seriously, people aren't going to 'research' on youtube and learn the words to a song to sing at the football. Not most people anyway, who go along to the game as a tradition, a few beers, a sing, a shout, a laugh with the lads, cheer the team on and some chips on the way home.

'Songsheets' and the like... the idea makes my skin crawl, and I'd have the piss ripped out of me for weeks, rightly, by my mates if the club tried to get an anthem going via the programme or songsheets or something. Imagine if SHA did that, we'd be ripping it out of them!

^^I guess so. But you ain't gonna get the holte singing, in time, to that song. It simply will never take off.

Sing 'Bells Are Ringing'. It's our song. Bring it back.

THE BELLS ARE RINGING FORTHE CLARET AND BLUE

THE FANS ARE SINGING FOR THE CLARET AND BLUE

EVERYONE IS GOIING

TO THE VILLA THEY'RE GOING

AND THE VILLA ARE SHOWING THEY,RE THE BEST IN THE LAND..BEST IN THE LAND

EVERYBODY NOW AFTER ME..........

This. Simple. Unique. Traditional.

Dunno why it never gets sung.

Seating has buggered atmospheres, no doubt, and I don't think the holte being in two helps. Speaking as someone at the back of the lower holte, the noise from the upper just passes above us and you can hardly hear them, and as a consequence the lower is quiet too. It's the same everywhere. But you are not going to get 40,000 people, or even 40 people, singing an 'anthem' that has jack all to do with the Villa that has about 300 words. And if you think putting songsheets or playing it over the PA is the answer, then I respectfully disagree in the strongest possible terms....

I think that whatever song chosen the club should record a version with the Villa words in and play it over the PA pre game...like they used to do with Dwight Yorke Dwight Yorke.

This would be absolutely cringeworthy and incredibly smalltime.

Perhaps we should have goal music too?!

i would, Suarez isn't proven in the league, plus the fact he's a dirty cheating bastard.

First post of yours I've agreed with in all 6,667 you've posted mate

Here's hoping it gets settled sooner rather than later...

22k. Tinpot rocket polishers.

Can I just ask? Was that the first time we have equalised this season? All the other games we have either scored first then drawn/lost or scored when we were too far behind. If that is the case then today was like waiting for a bus eh?

I belive it was, yep. Shocking stat, really.

I've met Villa players who did the very same thing.... big fecking deal

Lucky you.

read on H&V that as houllier walked out of the tunnel he reached up to touch the "this is anfield sign" is that true?

if so its a **** disgrace

Yep.

Carew, Delf and Cuellar on the bench but Hogg, Clark and Warnock start!

Houllier doesn't have a clue!

Are you suggesting a centre midfield of Delfouneso and Carew...?

Plenty to blame, but lay off the kids ffs. Like it or not, they're our future. At least they can put a tackle in.

I don't think we should count England's world cup win either as it happened before the Winter of Discontent.

Not a weekend roundup, but a Sky Four round up.

Poland is brilliant, but please don't go and be a typical bunch of 'lads' so they start thinking that all the British are words removed, as Krakow is one of my favourite places.
