I hear the Brigada lot have taken a lot of P8 and will be there next season with a big drum et all

You've completely made that up!

What was the song about not worrying being sang at the back of L2 and L1?

A little ditty by Robert Nestor Marley

Gotta be worth a gamble. Collins out for 4m and this lad in for peanuts??

No brainer for me (even though ive never seen him play)

£4m for James Collins the clumsy useless centre half who is overpaid?

Then you go onto say it's a no brainer that we pick up a unknown centreback plying his trade in the 2nd tier of German football that you never knew existed until you opened this thread?

Can i have some of your drugs?

Yep, send me a pm and I can arrange details with you if you still want it.

Sorry mate think were all sorted now, cheers though!

I have a spare ticket as a mate cant go - face value - can either meet at New St as were gettin the 10.20 train or in Wigan pub or by ground.

have u still got the spare mate?

Now say Rangers do get hit with the full penalties by the HMRC and Sir Craig Whtye reckons the total bill would be around £75m obviously the club would go into liquidation it just means that the Scottish football

Sir Craig Whyte? I think you mean Sir David Murray???

It seems that Murray for years and years was running a business that cheated HMRC. So I ve been paying for the pleasure of this and Portsmouth.

Great

the sir Craig Whyte bit was sarcasm.

Well looks like things have definitely taken a turn for the worse this morning as the HMRC have lodged a notice of intent to appoint an administrator for Rangers, basically meaning someone will go in and strip the club down in order to get HMRC everything their owed!

Please do point out any poor grammar!

not AVB fault, some of the players are passed it like Drogba, Lampard and Cole or just pure rubbish like Cech, Luiz and Torres.

He has bought well for future in Mata, Courtois and Romeu and also has Sturridge and Ramires playing well and given time he could turn around

Romeu is utter crap imo.

He's always looked good when I've seen him play.

Celtic fans do tend to struggle with the English language.

Looks like Rangers have been tending to struggle with maths

Tevez due back today with his tail between his legs. I hope Mancini isn't contemplating playing him.

You sure? Tevez said yesterday that Mancini treated like a dog! He also basically said the club and Mancini have lied to fans about what has really gone on behind the scenes.

Somehow I never really saw Tevez with his tail between his legs!

With any luck, Celtic will do the same.

No chance Celtic are being well run :winkold:

Whilst Celtic are in no danger of going in to administration any time soon due to the fact that they have been ran well financially... one half of the Old Firm going down the pan will not end well for them the other half.

Most Celtic fans are gleefully celebrating the demise of their "enemy", but the hangover is just around the corner...

As a Rangers fan... I'm quite obviously a bit upset about this whole sharade, but its been coming for so long now. I won't exactly be losing any sleep over it.

PS. Who wants to discuss a topic when you can just say some hate filled one liners?

See this kinda sums up Rangers as a club, in one of the worst moments in their history they still go on about Celtic. Heard it last night on the Clyde phone in and tbh it's bullshit, Celtic had 50,000+ for this Saturdays game against Inverness Caley Thistle, they support Celtic first and foremost!

Now say Rangers do get hit with the full penalties by the HMRC and Sir Craig Whtye reckons the total bill would be around £75m obviously the club would go into liquidation it just means that the Scottish football landscape would change it could be a brand new start for the likes off Aberdeen possibly Hibs, Rangers have never and will be the most important in Scottish football.

With any luck, Celtic will do the same.

No chance Celtic are being well run :winkold:

Into administration

As for the Newcastle game their two centre mids missing Cabaye and Tiote with them in the team they would've eaten us for breakfast.

Like they did in the 1-1 draw at Villa Park?

The team that destroyed Utd pre ANC with the additional Cisse is a completely different proposition than the one that came to Villa Park.

The people organising this protest are a disgrace in my opinion. They are basing their unrest on McLeish's previous affiliation for SHA and not on any justified footballing reason. When we are good we can beat Chelsea on their own patch so there is reason to be optimistic.

Yes we're currently sitting in a bad position but I think our players and in particular the defence have let him and us down badly. Against Newcastle we really should have been two or three up and if not for Krul that may have been the case.

McLeish has a similar record now as O'Neill did when he arrived those are the facts and he needs time!

Protesters = embarassment as far as I am concerned!

Firstly I'm not for or against the protest, but I must pull you up on your point about Mcleish's former employers yes I didn't want him because he managed the noses but more importantly is his track record and his dealings in the transfer market throughout his career plus his negative style of football that he has used throughout his managerial career.

The Chelsea game while enjoyable is hardly a pointer to some in good in the team, Chelsea are dour this season.

As for the Newcastle game their two centre mids missing Cabaye and Tiote with them in the team they would've eaten us for breakfast.

Was really refreshing to players wearing the Villa shirt playing such positive attacking football and great that so many turned out to cheer the youngsters on!

Everyone who attended or watched the stream knows exactly what went on with the play acting, I can't comment on the offside as we were down at the North Stand end of the trinity but judging by the reaction of the fans at the other end it was the wrong decision!

Don't mind singing my voice horse for players who give 110% for the club!

Yep, the mail have been skulking around on here

I read it on H&V's message board on Saturday, and the rumour's been going for a while anyway.

Im sure i read that Faulkner spoke about it at the supporters meeting on Saturday.

Im not being funny but what possible reason would anyone vote no? It's not like we'd be talking the whole ground, so if you don't fancy standing you don't buy at ticket in that area!

I hope this goes ahead.

Tonights game at Hinckley re-arranged for tomorrow at BMH. Incase anyone was going

why always Trevor Francis commentating on our games??

Blatant yellow

Heskey out for 4 or 5 weeks Collins injured too

Smiling about any Villa player being injured is disgusting! If we had more players like Heskey willing to put a shift in we wouldn't be as bad as we are.

Ubisoft Montreal is hard at work on 'target boxes' based on the intended specifications of Microsoft’s Xbox 360 successor, according to an Edge source. Delivery of the first iteration of genuine devkits, running custom hardware, is expected to reach studios before Christmas, and all signs point to the finalised console arriving at retail in late 2012.

Ubisoft’s teams are said to be working on PCs containing off-the-shelf components provided by Microsoft, and it’s our understanding that several other major developers, including certain EA studios, are also in possession of these target boxes. While our source was unable to share precise specifications, it is believed that AMD is providing the bespoke GPU solution for Microsoft’s console. A Ubisoft spokesperson said: "We do not comment on rumour and speculation."

We can also reveal that one major Sony-owned studio has now ceased PlayStation 3 development, its entire focus having shifted to the console’s successor. The studio is also said to have been involved in the development process of the graphics technology adopted by Sony’s new hardware.

It is clear that both Sony and Microsoft have learned from their respective experiences this generation and recognise the importance of being first to market. Despite rushing Xbox 360's release - games shown at E3 2005 were running on overheating Power Mac G5s, just six months prior to the console's launch - Microsoft would no doubt view the billion-dollar loss caused by the RROD fiasco as more than justified by the console's eventual market share.

Sony, too, will have learned a painful lesson from coming to market a year after its competitor, with more expensive hardware. That the runaway leader of the previous generation is only now closing in on Microsoft's sales - 55.5 million PS3s had been sold by September 30, with Xbox 360 sales at 57.6 million - speaks volumes of the importance of not giving its competitor another head start.

A 2012 release would also do much to stop Wii U gathering momentum. While Nintendo's new console is significantly more powerful than its predecessor, it boasts little improvement over the current generation of HD consoles in terms of raw processing power.

Wii U has been positioned to developers as a suitable home for Xbox 360 and PS3 ports, and putting new consoles on shelves next year could leave Nintendo scrambling for thirdparty support. Reports this week claim that Microsoft could announce its console at CES in Las Vegas in January; Nintendo is not to reveal the finalised Wii U hardware until E3 in June.

Evidence of an approaching new generation of consoles has been building for some time. Square Enix announced its next-generation Luminous Engine in August, and showed it off last month, while Epic Games demonstrated an enhanced version of Unreal Engine 3, which VP Mark Rein said brought "unprecedented levels of realism and demonstrates what the next generation of gaming will be", at GDC in March.

Internet sleuth Superannuation last month found four Microsoft employees whose LinkedIn pages referenced the next-gen Xbox, and just last night discovered a casual forum reference to Kinect creative director Kudo Tsunoda's "NextGen team at MS".

Square Enix's worldwide technology director Julien Merceron told us in June that companies prepare for new hardware by moving their best talent off current projects. "In the next year and a half or so we'll see a drop in innovation," he said, "because the talent is moving on to something else."

Ubisoft Montreal is currently recruiting for a senior animation programmer, with one of the job's responsibilities the creation of a "next-generation animation system." Yves Jacquier, executive director of production services at the studio, said in July that AI, rather than better graphics, would be the "real battleground" of the next generation.

"Our challenge with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox [360] is that we're extremely limited in what we can do," he said. "It's a challenge for the engineers to provide nice graphics and nice AI and nice sound with a very small amount of memory and computation time.

"We think that the next generation of consoles won't have these limits any more." It appears Jacquier knew more than he was letting on; there is now a very real possibility that all three platform holders will have new consoles on sale this time next year.
