Enda

He did well today.

Feyenoord were a bit short on cash, Amo69. Someone said his eur15k a week was a bit heavy for them. Different world.

To give people who didn't see the match a sense of who did well, based on that the starting 11 against WHU would be ---------------Given--------------- Lichaj---Collins--Clark--Warnock -------Bannan-KEA-Herd--------- Holman----------------------Zigzag ---------------Bent----------------- Maybe drop Herd and go 4-4-2 with Gabby up front. No great surprises then.

Also good to hear "We're Aston Villa, we glow in dark" sung a couple of times.

Calum. http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/ReservesProfile/0,,10265~2808300,00.html

KEA looked class. Great to constantly see him hovering near our box to pick up the ball. Makes it far harder to justify hoofball, a tactic which Hutton has clearly been trying to perfect while spending the summer in Burger King. Enda Stevens is a bit of a ball watcher isn't he? A couple of very good crosses from him, though. Daniel Johnson was lively, but fairly crap.

:nod:

About four hours later, I'm starting to resurface. What a waste of space that afternoon was! Villajax - I live a two minute walk from my department so I go home for lunch.

It's lunchtime here. My head's been a bit dozey all day and I need to get a good bit of work done so I went to take a Neurofen. Grabbed a packet from my medicine drawer, popped it out and washed it down with a glass of water. Realised that my Neurofen are in a bottle on the table, not a packet in the drawer. I just ate a sleeping tablet. Balls.

Suffice at this point to say: I disagree. Mods: before I go to the trouble of arguing this point (which can't be done briefly, but I don't think VT should be the place where that sort of casual prejudice is flaunted so I'd give it a go) can I get permission to go a million miles OT? Fair enough if you want to stay on topic, I can just drop it.

Also might be worth your while checking flying from Dublin the next morning. There's a late enough flight to Dublin on Sunday nights, and it is a Ryanair base.

oh FFS. Quasi-moronic comment. Hate to break it to you dear but "most of our players need to be from this country" is the same thing as "most of our players cannot be from other countries" and is a borderline racist argument.

Yes just as long as the core of the team remains British. this is important in my opinion. I couldn't give a stuff where they came from as long as they are good, improve us and enable us to compete a lot higher up the table Absolutely I agree but for this to happen the majority of the squad should dare I say "need" to be British. This is a British club competing in a British league. To fill the team with a smorgasboard of nationalities cannot help team bonding. Quasi-racist bullshit. -------------------------Lehmann---------------------- Lauren--------Campbell--------Touré-----------Cole Ljungberg-------Viera---------Gilberto---------Pires -----------------Bergkamp-------Henry---------------- A team gathered from England, France, Cameroon, Germany, Ivory Coast, Sweden, Brazil and Holland. Unbeaten in the league.

Not sure if you've checked them KHV, but have a look at the likes of Kayak and Expedia for combinations of flights to places. If you find a combination that works for you but is a little bit pricey, sign up for email alerts for when the price drops.

I'm mostly disappointed that they got the blue wrong. It's claret and blue, not claret and sky blue. How long is the contract for?

TRS-T notices that England's population is larger than Ireland's, Scotland's or Wales'. Concludes it's easy to play for Ireland. I'm reminded of Step one: steal underpants. Step three: profits.

Grealish--Clark--Ireland--Carruthers Not bad.

Or...just perhaps....you've been sold a dud and you aren't as ITK as you think. look, ffs, she hears something she deems reliable and she passes it on. sometimes its right, sometimes its wrong. this transfer chat is nothing but idle gossip. i dont care whether julie makes it up randomly or actually has someone in the know who tells her the odd thing, it matters not one **** to me, because i enjoy reading it if shes right, great, if shes not, well at least it gets a bit of discussion going and entertains us for a while sounds to me like you, for some reason, resent the minor attention that she gets Well said. I enjoy the daily update, Julie. Thanks.

Yeah I shall be going. Thinking of flying Southwest from Midway to Detroit on the Monday. The flight is $57 and the bus is $39. Anybody got horror stories about this flight/Southwest that I should know about? Edit: f*ck it, flights booked, gf told to pick me up at the airport. It's her problem now.

Please refrain from using logic on this thread.

One night after stumbling home hammered, John's wife warns him that she'll divorce him if he ever comes home that drunk again. One week later he's out with the lads. After his thirteenth pint he vomits all down his shirt. Afraid of what his wife will think, John begins to panic. His friends tell him not to worry. Placing £20 in his pocket, they tell John to say that somebody else got sick on him, and gave him the money for dry cleaning. He arrives home and after seeing the shirt, the wife throws a tantrum. "Don't worry, love" says John as he reaches into his pocket. "Some bloke did it to me, and gave me this £20 note to pay for the dry cleaning." "But John, you're holding £40" says the wife. "I have a simple explanation for that too, darling. That's from the chap who shat in my pants."

How many potatoes does it take to kill an Irishman? None.

What's brown and rhymes with Snoop? Dr Dre.

Lol. Oh, you're so generous. Thanks a million, fellas. This act of kindness is too much, really. Far too much. Such an act of charity. A sop to our poor nation. Even though our GDP per capita is still higher than yours. Despite our enormous recession, and despite our shorter working weeks. Oh, we're ever so grateful. It was a friendly sign of cooperation, not foreign aid. Gobshite.

If you live in North London, I don't think you understand my point. I'm contrasting the two pictures. Assad is a ruthless butcher and has no intention of stopping. McGuinness has at least put the gun down. If Lizzie shaking hands with Martin makes you feel unwell, the harsh political realities of far more evil people in the world will have you wanting to call an ambulance. I'm not justifying McGuinness but if you don't even understand what he was fighting for, then I'm not surprised you're not keeping up with the times.
