you really think that Rich, didn't know ;-)

i've gone for 5-8th as well

Agree with Risso, test the water first, save up as much as you can to cover say three month's essential bills, just in case, whilst doing one see about one of the many funding opportunities that may apply do it - I would if a) i had skill that was marketable had the blx as that is what it takes Good luck if you do and remember us when you make a million

^^^ He's back , Jimmy's back

oops just realised I was supposed to vote on who would win not which film was best :oops:

there's been a few of those - ask Rantin ;-) see RR another thread you get dragged into

it's a PB 'love in'

well I've copied this from a locked thread beacuse I liked what I put :-) There is an argument about the number of goals CC got last year. Well it's four premiership goals, the same as crouch. And the only reason I'm moaning is because it is not an outright transfer. IF Cole was that adamant about doing anything to get his career on line then why not ask to leave? Why not insist that if he signs for us it's permanent?

Jon, sorry but I cannot take the view of him being a Villa player until we own his contract outright. And as Villa fans do have a liking for scapegoats then a loanee is going to fit our requirements very well.

Well the second quotes are far far better but what would you really expect. So our forwards for the season are (and in my interpretation of preference) JPA DV CC MA LM SM (who must be pretty peed off we've signed CC) MA mk2 and far younger :-) which if Makan does leave, leaves us with a pretty inexperience Fw linw after JPA / DV who is still young himself

lots said about Darius and Gareth. Yet FIVE people reckon we need to get rid of Gav McCann - WHY?

avfcinwales, come on then I'll play ball on this. What is 'it' in your eyes as from what I saw last season Liam, Whitts, both Moores, MD(injury permitting), Nobby ditto, GB, Gav, Daruis and Hitz certainly had the 'It' I was looking for IT in my eyes being the ability to play in the prem and compete in it. All of these proved themselves to be worthy of wearing the shirt and competing in it. They all show a desire and all of them have certainly improved from wher they were at the start of last season. As has the team's ability overall.

too many training sessions playing three touch football at the age of 12. It only encourages you to get rid of the ball too quickly and where was the Lee Hendrie option ;-)

ahem BOTH Beckham's missed pens cost England if the one v France had gone in England would be playing Greece tonight hunt for scapegoat over

Lee Hendrie :oops: :-)

with spain out that's three votes gone

fair enough there was Cocu thread that was just nuts (no-one even spotted what I did there ;-) ) now you get called a clown - so he is a (coco)nut too

hope you have a very nice flamproof coat Richard is numero uno poster and is generally a very optimistic and honest Villa fan. And FWIW he's actually very old ;-) no doubt as he is omnipresent on the board he will post before I even reply

indeed he is in fact Taylor wanted to sign Rischard as his PR man ;-)

you really are having a laff

History Lessons-This will make u laugh out loud! The following excerpts are actual answers given on history tests and in Sunday school quizzes by children between 5th and 6th grade ages in Ohio. They were collected over a period of three years by two teachers. Read carefully for grammar, misplaced modifiers, and of course, spelling! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ancient Egypt was old. It was inhabited by gypsies and mummies who all wrote in hydraulics. They lived in the Sarah Dessert. The climate of the Sarah is such that all the inhabitants have to live elsewhere. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients. Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandos. He died before he ever reached Canada but the commandos made it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Solomon had three hundred wives and seven hundred porcupines. He was a actual hysterical figure as well as being in the bible. It sounds like he was sort of busy too. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The Greeks were a highly sculptured people, and without them we wouldn't have history. The Greeks also had myths. A myth is a young female moth. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Socrates was a famous old Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. He later died from an overdose of wedlock which is apparently poisonous. After his death, his career suffered a dramatic decline. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- In the first Olympic games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled biscuits, and threw the java. The games were messier then than they show on tv now. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March murdered him because they thought he was going to be made king. Dying, he gasped out "Same to you, Brutus." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Joan of Arc was burnt to a steak and was canonized by Bernard Shaw for reasons I don't really understand. The English and French still have problems. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Queen Elizabeth was the "Virgin Queen," As a queen she was a success. when she exposed herself before her troops they all shouted "hurrah!" and that was the end of the fighting for a long while. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- It was an age of great inventions and discoveries. Gutenberg invented removable type and the Bible. Another important invention was the circulation of blood. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sir Walter Raleigh is a historical figure because he invented cigarettes and started smoking. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100 foot clipper which was very dangerous to all his men. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespeare. He was born in the year 1564, supposedly on his birthday. He never made much money and is famous only because of his plays. He wrote tragedies, comedies, and hysterectomies, all in Islamic pentameter. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel Cervantes. He wrote Donkey Hote. The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote Paradise Lost Since then no one ever found it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Delegates from the original 13 states formed the Contented Congress. Thomas Jefferson, a Virgin, and Benjamin Franklin were two singers of the Declaration of Independence. Franklin discovered electricity by rubbing two cats backward and also declared, "A h orse divided against itself cannot stand." He was a naturalist for sure. Franklin died in 1790 and is still dead. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Abraham Lincoln became America's greatest Precedent. Lincoln's mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his own hands Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves by signing the Emasculation Proclamation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- On the night of April 14, 1865, Lincoln went to the theater and got shot in his seat by one of the actors in a moving picture show. They believe the assinator was John Wilkes Booth, a supposingly insane actor. This ruined Booth's career. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Johann Bach wrote a great many musical compositions and had a large number of children. In between he practiced on an old spinster which he kept up in his attic. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Bach was the most famous composer in the world and so was Handel. Handel was half German, half Italian, and half English. He was very large. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf that he wrote loud music and became the father of rock and roll. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him. Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died for this. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The nineteenth century was a time of a great many thoughts and inventions. People stopped reproducing by hand and started reproducing by machine. The invention of the steamboat caused a network of rivers to spring up. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Cyrus McCormick invented the McCormick raper, which did the work of a hundred men. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Louis Pasteur discovered a cure for rabbits but I don't know why. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles Darwin was a naturalist. He wrote the Organ of the Species. It was very long people got upset about it and had trials to see if it was really true. He sort of said God's days were not just 24 hours but without watches who knew anyhow? I don't get it. - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Madman Curie discovered radio. She was the first woman to do what she did. Other women have become scientists since her but they didn't get to find radios because they were already taken. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Karl Marx was one of the Marx Brothers. The other three were in the movies. Karl made speeches and started revolutions. Someone in the family had to have a job, I guess.

50/1 Koller top score (totesport) is a good bet as is 25/1 Makaay (hills / paddypower) then hope for a 3-3 draw with two hat-tricks in the group stages

quiet day Kalim_a, I've not had chance to read all these yet but they are good

of course we can and lets face it if the top five are 'set in stone' then we are by far the best placed of the other 87 clubs to break in
