Good news, it's International Men's Day this weekend! Although I am unsure if it celebrates men internationally or just international men (who I'm assuming must travel a fair bit to get that title?).
-
Surprised at the lack of VT comment on the is it/isn't it coup in Zimbabwe over the last day or so. Too difficult to support and too difficult to oppose. Is this the topic that finally has all VT'ers falling into line with Foreign Office policy, just ignore it and hope it all works out ok in the end?

I was referring to the initial response to the Kiev protests as opposed to the Crimean situation. People seem to have forgotten the run up to the ‘invasion by a foreign power’....an EU/US led effort to overthrow an elected government that was against an EU expansionist agenda. I find the proposition that EU leaders should be commenting on the behaviour of foreign governments whilst simultaneously maintaining a wall of silence on the incarceration of political ‘dissidents’ within its own ranks, frankly bizarre.
-
European leaders couldn’t wait to pipe up when things kicked off in Ukraine and it suited their own agenda. I don’t remember one single person standing up and saying ‘It’s an internal Ukrainian affair’! If the matters at hand weren’t quite so serious the hypocrisy would be laughable! Visca Catalunya!!!

Things that piss you off that shouldn't

So you were banned from attending games...until you attended a game? -
Managers are a bit like investments...past performance is no guarantee of future returns. Personally I was a big fan of the Little/Gregory era and thought it was going to set a precedent for appointing people who at the very least were passionate about the club, a trait which seemed to carry us forward, even if only so far. Would love to see someone of a similar ilk now, although I'm not sure there are any former players in management at the moment...or certainly not any that give a rats backside about the Villa?
-
So does that mean now he's only going to win the Palme D'or?

You can say that again!

我覺得加雷思已經使用谷歌翻譯！

The table lists Stoke Strollers whilst the facts say they were Stoke Ramblers...so just how seriously did they take their walking?
-
I love how under this system Villa could theoretically win every game next season and still not even qualify for the Champions League...sounds fair!
-
That's what makes sport great!

Going to Rugeley Villa's house for breakfast, being offered cornflakes and then finding out he only has one table spoon.

Didn't people actually get taken to criminal court on the back of calling Sol Campbell a 'gay boy' (not the infamous chant which contains all sorts of phobias!) from the stands a few years ago?
-
makes him sound like we are buying cocaine instead of a footballer I figure that for 7 million you can buy every season ticket holder a gram of coke for each remaining home fixture this season. It might liven the place up a bit!

Why Paul Lambert should get the sack
WhatAboutTheFinish replied to Jonoridge91's topic in Villa Talk
In all fairness to the management they actually coach the back line to pass it back to the keeper when they panic, so he can hoof it aimlessly forward. -

No...I think I wrote that quite explicitly, read again. -

The proof of pudding will be in the eating. I have remained a faithful backer of Lambert despite the predominantly dross football he has served up in the (misguided?) belief that all mangers need time. Unless he plays his strongest eleven in the cup (or any side that runs out comfortable winners) then my faith will be lost. He should be desperate to give the beleagured home support something to cheer about and he will get no better opportunity than against League 1 oppostion ( )! -
Whatever the odds on him being replaced in the summer are...I'll take them. His appointment for 18 months sounds like a face saver. He had stated he wanted the job full time or not at all. Spurs rumoured to be after Van Gaal after the world cup so would need a caretaker until the end of season. I can hear Levy & Baldini "So what's the minimum amount of time we can fool people into thinking this is permanent appointment?" "About 18 months?" The only question is: Is Sherwood in on it or does he really think he is their first choice?

That's a novel way for a female athlete to get her testosterone injections! I've got a soft spot for David Coleman as he was one of two people I could do an impression of when I was a kid (the other being Terry Griffiths), I hope he is at peace.

All bets down by Saturday afternoon! All but one of which went off odds on, if ever there was an inspiration to open a bookies this must be it!

3 out of 4 failures on the first day was even more pathetic than I imagined! Well done to Dicky who has 3.23 to carry forward to today's selection and good luck to Folski starting his campaign.
-
So only 4 runners for Day 1. AVFC91, 365 were only offering 4/9 on your choice but I'll let you off AVFC - Twente @ 4/9 Dicky - Eindhoven @ 8/13 Snowy - Cyrien Star @ SP WATF - Grenoble +12.5 @ 4/5 I also had a cheeky fiver on the fourfold for myself
-
Just to make it easier for me to keep track of everything (I don't want to put too much effort in!), let's stick to one selection per day.
