she's my friend. So is that a yes or a no? :winkold:

Someone mentioned it in the first or second page. Feyenoord needed to fund a loan for a striker, but I might have imagined that..

That's the last time I reply to one of your morning emails you grumpy ballbag!

Same here Andy. I didn't really miss it last season because we didn't have it the season before, but it was still annoying when you heard everyone going 'Oooohh!' after watching a replay...

Agreed. I can't think what the thinking behind it is for the parents other than, 'we buy it them because it makes them happy'. 'If we fatten them up enough, we can eat them for Christmas' :winkold:

I went to a wedding at the weekend and I think there had either been a sale on DSLRs or the bride & groom had been giving them away at the reception. There must have been about 8 people with the exact same camera...

What you talking about?

Though it would prove he doesn't only buy british, I doubt it would shut up anyone. It would just be met with shouts of 'McLeish instigated it, not Lambert therefore blah blahh blahhhhhhhhhh' :winkold:

I expect to hear many rendition of... We glow in the dark, we glow in the daaaaaarrk, We're Aston Villa, we glow in the dark,

The guy was a VT cult hero because he had a stupid jumper and sat on a wall in a rap video. No he wasn't (and isn't). Just because a few people liked his jumper, doesn't mean he became a cult hero.

Really? Is he pictured with that number? I thought he'd get number 4, which he had in the reserves

Gheyyyyy :winkold:

If I was reffing that game, I wouldn't have let you have that long a run up for the goal kick!

Not Me! I'm gonna have a quick look then go to sleep! I'd normally be in bed by now. At 25, my days of staying up past 11pm are loooooong gone :winkold:

Villa fans. Moan? Surely not! I'm sick of this type of comment. Stop moaning

I think the problem is players on high wages that don't justify them. Bent & Given justify their wages, imo.

Not remembering things! I've had to buy a diary so I can remember when I have holidays/ events planned. My memory has been terrible for years and I'm only 25. This shouldn't happen! Surely?

I've never been a fan of her, and always thought she looked a bit like a snake. But recently, I was forced to watch a live show of her (on TV) at my girlfriends brothers house, and I rather enjoyed it! :oops: (To the point that I would like to cover one of her songs in my band! (In super-fast punk/ska stylie...))

I'm waiting for a mod to come and clean up this abortion of a thread :winkold:

Good input.

It was only an idea. Also, my idea was for the whole team. I didn't mention goal bonuses or clean sheet bonuses 'just for defenders'. The aim of the team, and the football club, is to win games. So I don't see how a 'points per game' bonus system would not be fair. Players would be more inclined to defend a corner/ set piece, players wouldn't shoot for their goal bonus when a team mate is in a better position.

It could work if you took out all the bonuses for goals/ assists and changed it to the two following criteria: - Points per game - Clean sheets For example: Let's say Hutton is on £30k p/w currently. His standard wage with this new structure would be £20k p/w. If we get 3 points per game, he adds 8k to his weekly wage. For every week we get a clean sheet he adds another £8k p/w. On a good week he would get £36k. If we won 2-1, he'd get £28k p/w. But also, the 'average points per game', would reduce quite drastically as it's very unlikely we'd win every game. I dunno, just an idea, following on from what Dante said.

And why the hell would they agree to that??? I wouldn't and I'm sure you wouldn't if your new boss asked you. I'm sure I could manage living on 40k a week instead of 55k. Put a clause in the contract saying that if we achieve so and so position then you'll get an increase. I'd rather take a wage reduction if it meant freeing up some space to make more signings to bump us up the league... like you said though, can't see many being of the same mind. Just my no-nonsense approach to footballers wages and not justifying them. "You were crap, you don't deserve your wage, restructure to this or we'll sell you" We could say 'Two options; you agree to this new contract with reduced terms, or we place you on the transfer list'. But then they could just refuse to go to any club that came in for them (if anyone did). It's difficult to have that approach unless you're playing FM (in my first available transfer window I usually get rid of Heskey, Dunne, Collins & Petrov in any way possible :winkold:).

I think it's the clearest indication that someone is coming. Hopefully it's Culverhouse & Karsa!
