hi guys, new member here, been reading your posts an its really interesting stuff, i actually watch alot of asian football, your quite right about evergrande, i watched them a while ago win the AFC champions league against al-ahli (i think!), they do appear set to dominate asian football for quite some time,ive also noticed a team called hebai who seem to be doing ok, i dont recall them last season, are they a new team or someone that may challange evergrande, i have a couple of questions though, 1 is related the other not so why isnt japanese football moving as quickly as chinese football, they have a better league set up and apparently better players but they dont seem to do well in the asian championships, in fact south korean teams seem to do much better. the information you have given about Dr Xia is very helpful but why would he need any help from chris samuelson, who seems to be lurking in the back ground you may not be able to give any insight on question 2 but thought id put it out there

hi guys been a villa fan for most of my life, i say most because when i was a very small child i was actually a blues fan (as was most of my family), i then went a visit my grandad who we saw very rarely, i was six years old but when he asked me which team i supported i panicked as his house was filled with villa memorabilia, "villa" i said, good lad said my grandad, he then took me upstairs to a room filled with old programmes from the 40s an 50s an gave me free run of the place, from that moment on i was a villa fan an have been that way for the last 40 odd years, although its rare for me to go to games these days i used to travel home an away in the 80s an 90s best game ive seen may well have been sheff wed away in the early 90s, big rons first match, first game of the season when we came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2
