  1. I absolutely get where you're coming from. I hail from a working class background whereby some of us around the pub table don't actually get what Mackay and Moody have done that wrong ? Some of the other guys who passed an O level or two are lecturing us on our morality. Think I'm somewhere between the 2.......inappropriate texts between 2 minor football names or dealing with IS in Syria ? I know what concerns me more ?
  2. I believe both his previous clubs, Walsall and HMP Winson Green have claims on a sell-on clause.......I wouldn't let this piece of detritus clean the toilets at VP let alone grace our turf. Not of the required standard - on and off the pitch.
  3. He is indeed a Nose, but not just your Common or Garden variety......he is a Chelmsley Wood Nose. The very worst kind......
  4. If we were going to pick anyone up from Derby, I'd quite like to see us go for Jeff Hendrick - seen a fair bit of this lad and he seems a real talent.
  5. This may come as a surprise to you, but I have seen the team I support since 3rd division days. They were truly less than average then,ate. Since then, I have seen us win the league and the European Cup - we were distinctly a lot better than average then. If you think that because I think a player who currently plays in this less than average team is only average, I'd suggest you carry on living in Panini world. I've invested a lot more in this club to listen that cobblers...... So you're not to fussed if he leaves then your highness? Not particularly, providing we get the right deal for the club.....your holiness Will at least one fan will not be downbeat about his departure....your majesty. It will probably be more than one, he really isn't that good. Keep clutching though lads.........

  7. Gordon Strachan spoke well there......the immorality of football. About right really, we're all as bad.........if he played for us we'd be gutted. If he doesn't we all wanna throw the key away. Yeah, lets not punish anybody for anything in case it messes with their day job. My cousin should have tried that argument when he got nicked for speeding and lost his licence. Why should the company he works for have to suffer because he acted like a dickhead? ....not a close family then...lol

  9. Yeah you are repeating yourself, and it's still nonsense. Thanks for your telling insight. Luckily I can remember when Villa defenders were lauded for, well, being defenders.....not just better than 2 youngish players we have, who are out of their depth. Or for 60 good minutes in a World Cup group game. Throw yourselves at the feet of King Ron if you like, but I'll venture 2 things......he won't be making Team of the Tournament nor will he leave ( if in the unlikely event he does leave ) for a top 6 club. except no one is throwing themselves at Ron's feet. No one is saying he's Franco Baresi. No one is lauding him. No one is saying he will make the team of the tournament. No one is even saying he'll leave for a top 6 club, seeing as United finished 7th last season. All anyone is saying is that he's better than average. Just because we don't think he's just "average" doesn't mean we think he's the best defender in the whole world for goodness sake. We just think he deserves better than to be called average. If your opinion is that he's just average then that's your opinion. Ridiculing the rest of us because we happen to rate him slightly higher is, to bring me back to my original post, **** nonsense.[/quote ...as is Trying to ridicule me with your ****nonsense....

You are truly edging your bets there because didn't Man United finish 7th last season? The word you're looking for is 'hedging' and if you think I'm anal enough to see if Man Utd actually finished high enough to be classed as potential suitors then good luck to you.....

Better than youngish players out of their depth The bit in bold is the clue why Vlaar has sometimes struggled....... Thanks to another football genius for helping me see the light. I hadn't realised he had struggled ? According to you and your disciples if it wasn't for Vlaar we'd have been relegated by Christmas......which is complete bollocks obviously.

  13. He isn't....honestly. How exactly is he just average? I'm struggling to think of many PL defenders outside of the top 7 that are better than him, and I can think of quite a few in the top 7 that he's better than too. Well obviously it's all opinions isn't it, but off the top of my head, defenders who I think are better than Vlaar.... Caulker Shawcross Huth Lovren Colloccini (spelling?) All from outside top 7.....I can think of any number of top 7 defenders better than Vlaar.....but like I say, opinions obviously. I missed out Curtis Davies because most Villa fans I know don't rate him - fair play, but I think he was one we let go in error.
