I shouldn't have found that as funny as I did.

It is insane. Utterly bonkers. There's a fetish club scene that just... well, ugh I'm not gonna spoil it but it's probably best not be eating anything whilst you watch it and don't say I didn't warn you.

I thought it was Attitude.

Epic. Take that Cardassian David Warner!

"THERE... ARE... FOUR... LIGHTS!"

Basingstoke is a strictly Villa town, thanks to the following: Villa places - my house SHA places - nowhere

I dunno, I've heard he's asking for two turnips rather than one and their finances just can't cover that kind of luxury.

Villa Park Camrose Madejski St Mary's White Hart Lane Think I've probably been to more foreign than domestic grounds. Bökelbergstadion (old Borussia Mönchengladbach) Borussia Park (new Borussia Mönchengladbach, hopefully will be making a pilgrimage back there in September/October 8)) Wedaustadion (old MSV Duisburg) Gerhard-Hanappi Stadion (Rapid Vienna) Ernst-Happel-Stadion (Austrian international/domestic cup finals) Stadio Artemio Franchi (Fiorentina) San Siro (AC/Inter) Pittodrie (Aberdeen) Caledonian Stadium (Inverness Caledonian Thistle) Mosset Park (Forres Mechanics) Borough Briggs (Elgin City)

Christ, it was so obvious. Why didn't I see it?! :oops:

In the key of Bee? (Sorry :oops: ) Tut, do beehave.

General Krulak; long-time reader, first-time questions poser...er, umm, poserer. Poser of questions. Yes, that's what I'm trying to say. September this year will mark the 5 year anniversary of your involvement with the club. In this half-decade (and in particular, following the trials and tribulations of the most recent campaign) you have seen both the best and worst of life in the world of English football. You have savoured, as we have, the sweet taste of a cup final only to have fate (and some 'questionable' refereeing :winkold:) cruelly snatch glory from our grasp. You have felt the buzz and atmosphere of a European night at Villa Park, but witnessed the dejection born of bitter defeat on foreign soil. You have cheered on both exciting new arrivals and academy-grown starlets as they have worn our badge with pride and dignity, yet suffered the ignominy of those who have sought to further only themselves. In a way, these events serve as an epitome of Aston Villa; the perennial nearly club. I like to hold onto the belief (as foolhardy as that might be) that, in spite of the ever-growing gap between the top of the Premiership and the rest of the league (and in spite of the overwhelming spending power of Russian oligarchs and Arab tycoons) there is still a chance that this club can truly achieve something, that this seemingly never-ending cycle of disappointment can be broken once more. Enough of the vomit-inducing impassioned rambling though! To questions: -Looking back, how have you enjoyed your time with us thus far? Is there anything you would have done differently? -What would you consider your personal highs and lows to have been? No pulling punches here please, if your lowest point was Moustapha Salifou stealing your parking space then I want to know! -Realistically, what are your hopes for the future? Where would you picture the club in another 5 years time? -How do you believe we can best improve the profile of Aston Villa as a global brand? Your involvement with the club alone was enough to bolster interest and bring in new support from across the pond, how can we capitalise on this? Many thanks for your time, General. As you are a military man (and I am a stickler for schmaltz) I shall leave you with the motto of the Royal Air Force, whom my Father and Grandfather proudly served. It is a motto that would seem most apt. Per ardua ad astra

It's alright dude, we can having a "coming out" party for you.

Why doesn't someone just politely remind Downing what happened to him last time he played against Villa as opposed to for Villa?

It looks like a piano for bees.

Jesper Grønkjær has retired at the age of 33.

Has Salifou already gone then?!

It certainly does help one get perspective on Villa's state of affairs. Here's to a better next season!

Yeah, they do. I was still bricking it though. Can't quite believe we pulled it off.

YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHFUCCCCKKKIIIIINNNGGGGGGETTTTTTTIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pleeeeeeeassseeeeeee hold on...

C'mon, for ****'s sake c'mon...

They were called blockers, I believe.

Last summer was described as a "shitstorm" in most quarters, I believe.

Apparently so, but we sent him back to PFV Bergmann-Borsig.
