Ha - Just the other day in the car I started doing WAAasssuuuppp as it suddenly jumped back in my head. My two boys were asking what the hell was I doing and going on about.

On Twitter Kit reveal is 9th July with the release being the 20th July.

Im just retelling the story told by the Guy doing the Villa Park tour.

A Pub Floor up in Edinburgh from what I can remember. Tiles of Claret and Blue and they were considered looking good together.

So the thing tomorrow is this the one we announce Neymar or is that Friday?

Yup Live TV with Topless Darts also being one of the high quality shows available

So I am a bit confused. What exactly are Kappa doing for this kit? If Fanatics are designing and manufacturing the kits is Kappa just the badge slapped on. If that is the case is this another way of getting a Sponsor on the shirt without declaring it as much?

Ok I will get bricks thrown at me but Player that failed to live up to the promise: To me and he was my hero as a Kid Gary Shaw - He won League Title scoring 18 goals in 81, followed up by Winning the European Cup in 82 and being The European Young Player of the Year (Or was it the Tournament). Sadly got a really bad knee injury and was never the same again. If he had stayed fit I think a certain Mr Lineker would have received a lot less England Caps. Gary Williams and Colin Gibson - Young players who were part of the Success of early 80s but fizzled out. Adrian Heath - Though it was a brilliant move at the time by Taylor Vassell - Look like the youth team had produced a gem but never seemed to kick on after being called up by England. The entire Youth Team that won that European Tournament - None really broke through for Villa. Collymore - But lets be honest we knew trouble was a coming Gabby - His numbers are not too bad but see Vassell, called up by England and then nothing of note. Bent - Good Start then through Injury and falling out with Managers.

He had the big transfer before from Wolves (I think) to Liverpool and failed there. Ron thought he might be able to do something with him, but it didnt work out. (I think my Source is Ron Saunders Scrapbook )

Nope One Division lower than they are now - Perhaps original comment needed a bit more context

How much did we buy Delph? They were a division lower when we bought him from them.

Holy Cacking Batman! So we are potentially to pair a Midfielder from Coventry, with a Midfielder from Hibs and a Special Home grown talent! Right where is that Shirley Bassey Album with History Repeating on.

What were the fans of the pre 1950s saying when we moved from having no badge on the shirt to the Crest on the shirt? What were the fans of the 50/60s saying when we moved from just the Crest to just the rampant Lion on the shirt in 1975*? What were the fans of the 70s saying when we moved from just the rampant Lion on the shirt to the round badge? Badges change with the trends of the time. * I think it was 1975 when we changed to the Umbro Kit after getting back to Division 1

Grealish is exactly what England currently need, so it is over to him.

Okay people questioning spending on Butland. Us Oldies will perhaps remember Notts Forest who won promotion to Div 1 (Then Top Division) in 77. Well old big 'Ed Cloughie went out and spent what I think was a record back then for a Goalie on the England Goalkeeper Number 1/ Number 2 (Depending upon match another story) from Leicester. They went on to win the League. It has been said a good Goalie can be worth an extra 10-15 points per season. Jimmy Rimmer was that to Villa way back when. Clemance for Liverpool, Shilton for Forest etc. If Butland works those 10-15 points will be very useful in achieving first target of staying up.

We should go throwback and have that red splodge kit we wore for a season way back when.

Brad Guzon . - Oh you didnt say Atlanta

I hear it singin' in the wire, I can hear it through the whineAnd Smith and Perslow are still on the line

Also we are currently in a Champions League qualifying place

Yup obviously a dodgy rip off false kit as it has a round badge!

Does Gareth Bale count as a Striker - lol

Missed this, how do we know he still has sympathy for the club (Though that sounds like we died).

I dont mind this filling out the squad with the best players from the championship. Villa need to build a squad but they cant afford to build a squad like Man Citys, Liverpool etc in one window as some seem to expect. Building Villa up will take a few seasons and the squad development will be gradual. Buying players for a reasonable cost now is good. We are putting the news out there we do not have much to spend so are not being ripped off. IF we went and bought a marquee player from the word go, other clubs will expect some of that money. Fill out the squad with better players than we had and keeping our gunpowder dry for the big name we will hopefully get for the first team. Im just hoping it isnt like ONeils first full summer transfer window and we eneded up with Marlon bloody Harewood as a last minute signing.

I was told that sometime last week a show about the History of Villa was on TV. Does anyone know when it was on and what channel?

Never saw your Hero Graydon play though I have met him and he is a nice guy. Also not old enough for Willie Anderson that was before my existence
