General, i pay £4 a month for AVTV and im not sure what for exactly, whenever i want to use it it doesn't work, just got one half of the match with no sound today, even the commentary isn't working. Going to cancel my subscription now and will sign up again when it is sorted out. When i want to watch an interview or highlights 99% of the time it wont even let me log in.

Yeah should be

It is a shame we didn't take the full allocation for Chelsea, been to every game so far this season but Baggies & Chelsea both went to season ticket holders

Agreed about the price of the package to Bulgaria, it's a rip off and not even anywhere near the ground.

Why is it you sell Carlsberg Export in hospitality but not for the little people? I asked if we could get Export a while ago and last week i was in a box and was surprised to be able to drink Export.

Hi General, at half time yesterday we went to get some beers and food but when we went to pay they told us they would not accept £50 notes, neither of us had any other money and they gave us no explanation to why they wouldn't accept it. Why is this ridiculous rule in place General?

Glad to know it's on the to do list! I actually asked almost every burger van on the way back to the car for a vegi burger and they all said they had sold out, they are obviously running low on vegi burgers in the Aston area!

Still no vegetarian options on Sunday, i was hoping the options may have been improved. So i was stuck with chips as usual. Would be great to have a vegi burger or something similar available, just one option to go with the chips. Infact there used to be some kind of vegetarian slice but that seemed to get scrapped for some reason. And the beers are bad enough being Carlsberg, but when they are warm Carlsberg it's enough to make you throw up.

Hi General, id just like to apologise on behalf of myself and anyone who had concerns - we should have known from the last 2 years that we were in MORE than capable hands and should never have doubted you. Another fantastic signing today if it goes through, a real rock of a defender who almost single handedly carried Rangers to the UEFA Cup final last season. Now i have NO doubts we will get in a couple of attacking players and our squad will be complete, thanks General, Randy & Martin for being true to your word as you always have been. UTV.

I cant believe people were saying Barry is a shit central midfielder and is a better left back, just 2 years ago!

**** hell i didn't realise this was an old thread until i got near the end, i couldn't believe it

You just have to look at the Ronaldo saga to see that this is not unusual in todays football. The kid practically BEGGED to get a move to Madrid but they have refused to let him go, im sure he will stay and make a significant contribution to them next season. If Man Utd aren't too big to do that, then neither are we.

Santa

It would hardly be the end of the world. Id be annoyed if it meant we didn't sign de la Red though. If he stays, he has to sign a new long term contract.

This season easily, Friedel being the key reason.

Every media outlet is saying "Villa ready to splash out on 30 million star" or similar statements, it really is ridiculous and totally over the top, we all know you didn't mean literally we are about to buy a 30 million player, it was all theoretical as anyone who saw the question and answer would realise. Apologies if it causes you any stress. Just makes it sink it even further how much crap they all talk.

General, i bet you didn't expect your response to my question about funds available to get this kind of response, it's in the papers, on Sky Sports etc - you probably wish i never asked now!!!

I agree swtching the UEFA Cup game is excellent news, apart from the fact i can't go to the away leg now! But it definitely gives us a bigger advantage now. Some people will moan about ANYTHING.

Thanks for answering General, that is very reassuring, now MON just needs to show that kind of ambition!

1) I know you have said many times that money is no object, MON has what he wants etc etc, but i think most fans find that hard to believe, surely there is some kind of restriction? If MON went to Randy today and said "i want to buy Arshavin, he will cost £21 million and 90k a week", you're telling me Randy would have no problem backing that along with another 4 or 5 players? I think this is why people keep questioning the money issue, surely MON must know what ball park he is playing in? You make it sound like there is unlimited funds if MON wants it, is this true or is there a set budget? 2) Do you pass on comments from this thread to MON? Thanks General, and despite some rants from me included, im very happy with everything you have done for the club, we are just all a little worried about the coming season as expectations have been raised by what you have done for the club so far. Enjoy your day (or try at least!)

I have respect for him as i do for any other decent human, but lets not get ridiculous here - he is paid good money to do this, never forget that.

General, i have to say as a usually optimistic Villa supporter, today for the first time i have real doubts as to where the club is heading and huge doubts as to whether the club are lying to us. Lets hope this changes because a large and growing section of Villa supporters are slowly starting to think that maybe we have been falling for PR for a long time now. Lets just hope this changes.

What are the other sites you post on General? If anyone else wants to answer for the General then be my guest.....

Thanks for answering General, it's a shame you have an exclusive deal with the lager, is this a long term contract? As someone said, it would be great to get a Carlsberg Export pump, Export is my favourite beer whilst normal Carlsberg is down there with my worst. It's from the same company so i wouldn't see why they would have a problem with this.

General, this may have been answered already but is there any chance of a better selection of lagers on match day? I understand you probably have an exclusive deal going on but quite frankly it's disgusting and it would be nice to be able to have a pint of Stella/Carlsberg Export/Red Stripe/anything nice!
