How many miles it it from city centre ?

I've done Everton and Liverpool away in the past, but this time it'll be train to Lime Street, and taxi to ground after some beers

What's the best way to get back from ground to Lime Street after game?

Can't wait to have him back. Him and Delph in the middle next season. Sweet

Morning General

Just a quick question about a merchandise issue that's been bugging me. This season we adopted the 'Team Purple' colour for a number of Nike items. Now for me personally, it's an absolute horrid colour but i'm more than aware that to someone else it may be beautfiul.

However, i'd love to know how this colour merchandise has sold over all if possible?

The main reason being I think I could count on one pair of hands the number of people i've seen wearing anything in that colour at a game.

This is in no way a moan, or a groan. I'm just genuinely interested in how it's performed on the sale side of things, because it's always struck me as one of those colours nobody would wear in a normal setting. And I do remember being quite alarmed when I first saw the range of gear unveiled.

Cheers Ulver

PS : The one piece of classic Villa leisure wear this season in my opinion is the retro zip up jacket. Sky blue with a bit of claret bits n bobs. I've seen those being worn a LOT all season, but it now seems to be unavailable. It surely must be one of the top sellers which makes its unavailability a bit odd. UTV!

Well done to the club for todays instore signing session General!

Was well organised and they even started signing early, possibly due to the huge queue.

The little nephew was well chuffed he got to meet all 3. Especially Makoun his new Villa hero

Thanks!

He's dead to me.

where do premier pick up from ?

have they got a website ?

the Eastmans for me

Villa Park not really a good pick up or drop off for me sadly as i'm a black country oik

Why trains in this country stop before 10pm ish is beyond me

Am I right in thinking this is a no go due to no late trains running back this way ?

Bastard annoying if so :x

The last two i've watched have been Black Swan and The King's Speech

Both highly praised and I could see why. Both excellent

He's too limited to play in a two man mid, a luxuary player we can't afford.

Thats up there with 'that Petrov's got some pace hasnt he' in terms of utterly crazy things i've read

ive already seen in three games that makoun is far better than berson was cant see where thats coming from? some of his movement and first touch passing is outstanding

I think we've all seen he's head and shoulders above any of our current or recent central midfielders. And he's not even up to speed yet

Who was the last midfielder we had that was so comfortable taking and laying off the ball with one touch rather than taking an age to move it on?

He knows where he's going to pass it even before he's received it.

The only downside is he's too quick thinking for half our lot at the moment. hopefully they'll learn as they play alongside him more

Give it a rest

Hes hardly had a touch to be fair. Hes so overrated its untrue.

You should actually try and WATCH the second half with your eyes open

I can sum that up with one word

FRUSTRATING

Plenty of the ball, good bombing on. But the final ball into the box, has been utterly woeful. No point signing a strike rlike Bent and giving him no service

The corners have been woeful too. But we've still had a few chances and the spirit/effort is their in abundance.

You could have put your mortgage on them scoring from a corner. And I hope we restrict them to very few more

Its a classic 'in the balance' game. This could go either way

I got one, as did 3 of my other season ticket holidng friends.

I think once Bradley comes into the side, we'll see him as the anchor/defensive one and Makoun playing with a bit more freedom

With the quick brain/feet he has he'd be far better suited to getting up and around the box

Impressed by the lad again today. It's very rare to see a player in a Villa shirt so comfortable receiving and giving the ball with quick one touch passes

Looks like its scared the shit out of some of the others, eg lead legs Petrov

Go at em, and see what happens. If we give our all, and take any chance that coem along then we could nick something

He has been taking the piss since the second he stepped through the door. THE UTTER PISS

The flim flam some people are bandying around as excuses for him are bordering on the pathetic. ALL he needed to do to show his worth was WORK HARD.

And he FAILED.

He wont be coming back i'm pretty certain. Those bridges are burnt. Like O'Neill, best forget about him and move on

That shouldn't be hard.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Make it permanant and make it quick

Harsh no?

Not half as harsh as his wage to effort ratio

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Make it permanant and make it quick

I couldn't care less if he rediscovers that '6 month' form he had a few years back either or continues the same way the majority of his career has gone. He's a lazy bastard with an appalling attitude.
