King Cropley

A tad off topic but World Cup related - just wasn't sure where to post ; given that our FA and indeed UEFA have known for donkey's years how corrupt FIFA are, can someone explain the wisdom of our FA putting their heads above the parapet 2 days before the start of the World Cup ? Thanks for that......plenty of dubious penalty decisions sure to come our way then..... It was only made more laughable when Lord Triesmann (remember him) likened FIFA to a Mafia family.......perhaps he's forgotten how he got his job at the FA? Dullards, the lot of them.

You just know its gonna be Agent Ridgewell......

....go on admit it, you just made that up.

My head has gone....after the disappointment of Senderos and potentially Bendtner, for some reason I would be chuffed with Joe Cole....yet I don't know why !!!....

Just when you think these clowns have run out of ways to take the piss out of us ? Jesus wept......I can only think we are trying to get these awful signings in, before Keane's allowed an opinion.....

I am long past wanting some multi-Billionaire owner. Over the last few months I have come to the conclusion that they are all clearings in the woods who will always be self interested and only treat AVFC as an extension of their already inflated egos. I just want someone who truly LOVES AVFC. In fact I find it hard to stomach the way so many fans are willing to almost sell their souls for the want of some rich owner, irrespective of their background or morals, in the quest for honours. Sadly PL clubs are nothing more than pounds of flesh to be traded between rich wan-kers. I know all the arguments etc etc - this is just how I feel. Stand by to feel disappointed.......or elated depending on your point of view, when the bloke who has the local Big John's Franchise puts his winning bid in......

I've read all 26 pages of this thread and carefully weighed up all the for and against arguments......thankfully I soon regained consciousness and realised that he is still shit. Phew !

That's a bit like going into a shop to buy a kebab, realising you only have enough money for chips....then saying 'sod it, I'll have a lump of dogshit instead'..... I'm probably in the minority but I still think he is much better than Clark and Baker. You don't make 84 appearances for Arsenal, be loaned by AC Milan and have 52 international caps if you are dog shit. Nicklas Bendtner says hello.....

I'm not that bothered about Keane......but fooking Senderos !!! Jesus H Christ, I'd take Hope Powell over him at centre half.

I know we were pretty shite last season, but 'one of our best players' ? Nay, nay and thrice nay....a few cameos towards the end of the season where he started brightly then faded (as usual) does not a good season make. Don't begrudge him getting a few quid, but never ever saw him as the type of player who can take us where we want to go.

I know what you mean. Fancy having an opinion on an internet football forum. The cheek of it.

I read about Mr Rich on his company's profile page.....inducted into Frozen Food Hall of Fame, Grocers Hall of Fame, Florida Fishing Hall of Fame (he intends turning this achievement into a film apparently ?) etc etc. He makes Doug Ellis look like a recluse.......given his age and his predilection for 3rd rate sports teams, I think I'd rather he kept his dollars for his other interests.

I do too.....but I'm not worth the money either.

....by going on the piss most nights ?

....and they sat stats don't lie ? Jesus Wept !! It's Marc Albrighton we're talking about here, not Arjen Robben. He started brightly, fell away, got injured, went on loan and then came back and stood out for 50% of the time he played in the worst Villa side since 1987. If he feels Leicester are a better bet for his career than us then good luck to him. I wish him no ill will but it's not like it's gonna cripple us, is it ?

He is worth keeping regardless; he has proven he is a brilliant player, and with our team I would start him every game. Always a threat, always puts in a shift. One of my favourite players in Claret and Blue.[/quote You're easily pleased perhaps ?

T.R.O.L.L.......obviously

I'm sure the players were gutted....in other news Legs XI has opened an hour earlier to console Clark and Weimann has managed to get the gaffer of Veseyans CC to put on a lock-in instead.....

WTF ?

Probably will have awards dinner with the new owners in late may/early june.. *clutching at straws* They probably had it yesterday instead, on the coach home.....

No problem me old pal, I agree with you. We could finish 1st next season.....or even 20th. Who knows.

Did he run around tonight with cupped hands to his ears and pointing at his chest ? I must have missed it because he's bound to have played well....?
