Lol Christ it's amazing how easily people will pile in on those it's popular to hate.

You've gotta love Viz!

Now add the front sponsor, sleeve sponsor and league badges

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned already but what's the consensus on here regarding Harry Ramsdens? I was looking forward to trying them when in Bournemouth a few years back. I was left underwhelmed, maybe I was expecting too much, or maybe it was a bad day?

To be fair it was a quoted source by the BBC.

It's probably going to be about 10m more than Buendia.

Buendia when he signed had never been called up by Argentina and had played one season in premier league and one year for Getafe in La Liga so Diaby is massively more experienced at club and country at top end.

Don't think anyone would be paying 30m for Buendia based on what he's produced for us in last two years.

I meant his personal terms like wages/bonuses. I'm just a little worried we might be overpaying him to secure his signature, but I shouldn't really care as it's not my money lol.

Well, some of us actually remember those men from the past, that's why.  Like ...

Is that Peter Gabriel?

We aren't going to try to compete with the Saudi offer in terms of wages. It's not possible to even get close. 

I'm not sure what's so complicated for people, we agreed personal terms with him and took a while to agree a fee with Leverkusen. Al nassir also agreed a contract with him and were in the process of agreeing a fee with Leverkusen but in the end it looks like he has chosen to move to us. 

So you think our offer to him hasn't been improved since the bid from Saudi? If that's not too complicated a question for you. 

I'm a little concerned the interest from Saudi has increased our personal offer to him to a unsustainable amount, especially if he doesn't work out as a signing. 

Hopefully we have some realistic people in charge of these things.

I'm currently working my way through the Mission Impossible films, I'm up to Ghost Protocol now, I think this is the last one in the series that I have seen.

So far

Mission Impossible 1 - great film but its pretty dated now

Mission Impossible 2 - Not great it was acceptable but it was a typical John Woo balls to the wall action film which bordered on ridiculous (even for this franchise) at times

Mission Impossible 3 - Enjoyed this one, if it wasn't for the nostalgia of re-watching MI1 this would probably be the top of the first 3 in the series for me

John Woo is awful, he does the most ridiculous cuts to slow motion scenes. That movie had a great soundtrack though if I remember correctly 

I can't believe we've been linked with well over 500 players!

Probably slightly unnerving to see too much red on any heat maps for the games played there.

Lol, interestingly the pitch does have its own sort of heat map going on.

What, in the Villa Kit discussion thread?

I don't exactly know why but I love meme mashups lol

Hardly, both parents came to them with a story nobody would turn down. Reporting it isn't the issue here.

I quite enjoy Only Fools and Horses but it is incredibly over rated

I think it just ran out of steam, kind of tarnished it's reputation, just like the Simpsons really. The early series with Grandad are just pure genius.

You've clearly never watched Porridge  

Have you ever seen the follow up Going Straight? Actually really good, underated.

Did you watch it at the time or years later? I find it incredibly tedious as well, having only come to it decades later. Can't deny its influence though and it suffers from so many shows having been influenced by it and improving on it over the years.

Later but I couldn't get into it, maybe it's a cult following type of show. 

Seinfeld was shit

A 17 year old does not a paedophile make

Inappropriate behaviour, morally wrong, yes most definitely but not a paedophile.

It wouldn’t have been illegal if these two people had actual physical sex.

Might be a bit whataboutery this but wasn't the girl involved with Prince Andrew 17? I know the law is different in the US but people still call him a nonce on a daily basis.
