    Their owner took money out of the club, promised to pay it back, didn't, and has followed that up with a series of loans with comically ridiculous interest rates. Auditors are clearly pessimistic on the going concern. This is bad.

    Equally the pessimism on foxestalk is rife. Majority really want Rodgers gone and that we'll dick them by 3 or 4, especially if we score early 

    I am quietly confident. The Don will have learnt a few lessons from the loss at VP. Would be nice to dick them by 3 or 4 as Leicester fans have become horribly entitled these past few years.

    I thought I would chip in with my current and recent experience with the NHS.  As I've posted before, my Mother was diagnosed with lung cancer.  She was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to be part of an immunotherapy trial.  She was absolutely given the best care available and even the doctors said she is on the "gold-plated treatment" owing to her being given much more expensive chemotherapy as part of the trial. It was tough - at one point her doctor ("The Professor") took her off the expensive chemo as he said "you don't look well at all".  She wasn't - she had been in bed all week and barely got out of it unless she needed to walk slowly to the bathroom to be sick.  At that point they were questioning whether the chemo should be continued at all and if the whole treatment should be stopped whilst she recovered.  They didn't and she did.  I dread to think what might have happened if they halted treatment. We now count our blessings every day for what the NHS has achieved with her but I am so very sorry for those who were not as fortunate to be given the opportunity.  She is now completely cancer free and has been for years after the tumour shrunk by huge amounts enabling them to take it away surgically. 

    My Dad was diagnosed with kidney cancer last year.  He wouldn't have known had it not been for the care and attention of the staff that day when he was admitted with a bad bout of pneumonia.  He tried his best to leave the hospital (on one occasion my Mother got a phone call telling her that he was packing his bags and was asking others to ring a taxi) but the doctors were adamant that he was very unwell.  They persuaded him eventually to stay and needed to stay in order to have fast-track scans that would have taken weeks (months?) otherwise.  In the end they couldn't operate due to his bad chest (COPD) and after numerous attempts to allow to him to have "Cyberknife" treatment, was told that unfortunately it isn't possible due to the tumour being so close to his bowel.  They tried everything - he went in for the Cyberknife four times to see if they could work out how to get a clear picture for the tech but the risk just wasn't acceptable.  It seems his kidney had a bit of movement and even after they tattooed him for the treatment points, they wasn't sure the risk was acceptable.  He then went in for continuous weekly scans whilst they worked out next steps and eventually they ordered in a custom belt to stabilise him enough for him to have standard radiotherapy (the giggling nurse my Mother spoke to every week was a joy - on the last call before he started his treatment she said "we've got it! I'm going to put it into a safe!").

    I took my Dad for his last round of radiotherapy on Monday.  Now hoping for the best and hoping that his follow-up scan comes soon.  

    Big thumbs up to the receptionist too who said "in the nicest possible terms, I don't want to see you again". 

    Best to your Mom and Dad, mate!

    Back in hospital for the 3rd time in 4 months.

    The lad had Strep A in December.

    I messed up all the ligaments in my foot in February. 

    He's collapsed at school today, then had a fit and a temperature of 39.8c. 

    Been here about 90 minutes already and he's now absolutely fine. Got another 90 minutes wait to see a Dr though to check he's actually okay.

    So angry with what the Tories have done to the NHS.

    Hope you and your nipper are both feeling better soon mate.

    Jordan Pickford was there.  How do I know?

    My mate was there brown nosing with him in a hotel bar, wasn’t he @SuperTed?😛😛😛🤣

     

    He also saw David Platt who was a bit put out when my old fella said he’s never forgiven him for leaving the Villa 😂

    Regarding the farcical bridge-naming, lots of comments on WankBook from 'Noses trying to point out it was not their club who want to name the bridge.

    I'm not sure who are the stupidest, HS2 or Birmingham council, the idea obviously came from one of them.

    Name a bridge after a player who only played 40 odd games for a local club, scored four times, and wasn't even born in Birmingham.

    You really can't make up comedy like this.

    I mean, Tommy Elphick played 46 games for us, why doesn' he get a mural and a bridge named after him?

    Probably because we ain't small time rocket polishers like this lot.

    Why not, erm - why not name one for Grealish?

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Sorry Rob 😂

    It's been like this whenever I've gone recently, completely puts me off going.

    Can we get a VillaTalk block in the new North Stand? If you moan you get the ban hammer 🤔

    I don’t know if localising VillaTalk members would make it any better my good man 😂

    When someone’s moaning my first thought is usually “Hm, wonder if they’re on VillaTalk?”
