LancsVillan

Judging by the performance og his agent recently he could do with a new one, having read that CV you should send him your CV.

Mark - I agree with the majority of your post. However. lambasting people for not being fans is to me wide of the mark. They come to this (and other) website to voice an opinion, be what may that it is, they are entitled to that opninion. This season was always going to be one of transition ( and yes we've been hearing that for too long) BUT we cannot undo the good number of years (sorry too drunk to work it out) but it's NOT all of Doug's tenure in a few months. The General has constantly pointed out that this (and therfore the board's view) is that this is a journey that may take some time to get to it's destination but we WILL get there.

Plan A - hold them until 70 minutes have passed, then try an score 15mins in 0-2 Plan B ?? Feck

Surely this can only be acheived if we spend money and concentrate on the squad rather than renaming a train station. I can understand the frustrations here, however, now that we have a board in place that will target the different aspects of the club and be supported in doing that I can see why we are looking to do this AT THE SAME TIME. We've said for long enough that we needs the team to be better, I think it will We've said for long enough that our image and marketing are crap and need improving, I think it will improve. Both take time but need to move forward together

can we get this back on topic, if you want to discusss the areas of Villa support and/or where shirts should be available then feel free to start new threads on this. The General has already answered the point in that Richard Fitzgerald and the club are aware of the problem and will be looking at this

cheers for that OF - I wasn't sure. Guess he couldn't dislodge Ljungberg at the time

that was my thinking too. I like him and would like to see him at RB which is his natural position as opposed to Geremi who is played there instead of in MF by Chelsea. Though that said we've had a number of ex-midfielders who you've out to be pretty good right backs over the years

Agreed - but if Darren Bent is the Aston Martin - we know he is available.......The cover has been blown me thinks Would you pay up to £15m for him? When you see that Kuyt went for £10m and someone like Huntelaar is available I would rather spend it on him. Rather have Nugent for £6m than sign Darren Bent for £12m At those prices both Bent and Nugent are over priced. "Nugent is NOT a £6m player, he's simply not ready, anyone getting him now is getting another Macken" - quote from a PNE ST holder last night to me at football training. EDIT: (Hit submit too soon) Followed by - "If anyone wants to pay that for him I'll drive him there myself" From someone who is a qualified coach and has watched Nugent far more often than any of us, I'm happy to accept his view. MO'N wants proven Nugent is 'potential'

yesas the question has been raised and to keep it on track as opposed to discussing who means what with their post

Davies - the forward with only 73 goals from 400 games- no thanks

And share ip address with a Spuds fan who joined this site and is also on that site linked previously - you need to explain yourself RV

that'll be along with us signing 'digruntled superstar' then ;-) No problem but stick the source in whne you put in a story please

Bloody awful signing. See that at the end it's a Full stop, sign him and you might as well get in Lennon and Savage and call us Leicester.....

Only two options??? Kodiak would wup both these guys asses. Grizzly is my favourite after dearest Winnie and Rupert

Not going to start a new thread but over the 744 hours of January I think the following will happen OUTS: Hendrie Whitts Berger Twins JPA (mistake for me) INS: Nugent Maloney Some unknown European midfielder Upson

This is in hand and a mail is prepared

can we keep this on topic please, history of famous generals is very nice in the right thread, feel free to start one in Off Topic and post a link

General, a thought that came to me in another thread Should we really be charging Villa fans £35 per year to access our official site? I mean it might seem a lot but the majority of the information on it is in the public domain. Surely to have a free service would bring in greater numbers to the site. There is currently an offer for a nominal fee, which is fine, but I for one will not pick up the total amount as there is no value. As an aside surely too season ticket holders - as was suggested by stevejos - not get this access free with their Season Ticket?

Correct Bazdavies79 can we keep this off the subject of the old trinity that could go in a new thread. Sam your posts are not the only ones that get deleted from this thread, if you have a problem you should PM a mod

back on topic please

Beggar me, I've referred to that quote regularly and now I've got it in it's entirety - excellent. Good trip General adn I hope you're not trying to get into Heathrow this morning as it's pretty darn foggy out there

by Paddy I'm not sure I've ever seen such a one sided loss in favour of the losing team in all my visits to see Villa, I also struggle to recall a better performance from a goalkeeper, no not Gabor "Pyjamas" Kiraly. But despite all this yesterday has to have been one of my most enjoyable experiences as a Villa fan, and certainly a day that made me so proud to be a fan of such a great club with a fantastic team running it. I wasn't expecting to be at yesterdays game, I recently went down with a serious illness and since the treatment has started my immune system is particularly weak and I'm at a high risk of infection, so no crowded places for me, no going to the pub over Christmas, and certainly no going to Villa Park... or so I thought. As a fan of almost any club in England I imagine I would have been restricted to watching my team on television, at least until February but probably for the majority of the rest of the season. As much as I didn't enjoy my trips to places like Doncaster last season, it's an addiction and I was gutted to think I'd be missing out just when things were starting to come right. But this isn't "any other club in England", this is Aston Villa, Randy Lerner's Aston Villa. And although him and his team are far too modest to say so, this is a club unlike any other. Through visiting this site some high up people at Villa found out about my condition and the fact that I was unable to attend games. A few emails and phone calls from former US Marines later and I was feeling better than any drugs could possibly have made me feel, despite all the things that need sorting at this great club of ours, they found time to contact me, find out about my condition, ask how they could help, and within a day had sorted for me to be a guest of the club in the Witton Lane stand, knowing I couldn't be around too many people and not out in the cold for too long they arranged for a private box so I could watch the game in comfort and at almost zero risk of infection. Having been welcomed by Russ Appleton, the new "Head of Infrastructure" at Villa Park, he showed us to the box where he presented me with my new prized possession, a shirt signed by the entire squad. Unsurprisingly I was absolutely lost for words. Here I am, a 20 year old Villa fan, one of so many, one who's been through so much as a Villa fan, being about as proud as I could ever feel to be part of this famous club. With everything that needs doing at this club, the fact that they could take so much time and effort to make me feel welcome was just incredible, and very humbling. I know they don't do it for publicity, and if I asked them whether to thank them publicly I'm sure they'd say no, because that's how they are, but I don't think a gesture like this should pass under the radar. So thanks to Randy, The General, Russ Appleton and everyone else at Villa Park who made my stay so enjoyable. Carlsberg don't run football clubs...

Not particually tall I dont think, but pretty quick and has a good eye for goal, not afraid to have A pop.... Wouldnt call him a target man though, just a more likely to be avialabe Robbie Keane..... I think that Nugent could be the player MO'N was indirectly referring to when saying that he isn't prepared to pay over the odds for promising Championship players where the team will only sell for silly money. Add to that PNE need him to keep up their challenge and I cannot see them selling him in Jan.

Hope to see you General, maybe a chance for that long awaited beer ;-) Allan

please keep this one on topic, if you wish to discuss the nature of a 'future' VP, there is a thread for that POSTS Deleted
