  1. I have been coming to this thread and the one before it since 2013. It's thoroughly depressing,
  2. Honestly, why do this lot STILL go on about 2009? Just shut up. Please. Just shut up. One of the big clubs ran into the ground and going down was ridiculous, and we laughed about it. Any team would. There were forty one thousand people in that stadium and two banners which were amusing. They don't half harp on about it.
  3. Do you want normality to resume then? Would you rather someone like Leicester work their arses off and show up the royalty or would you rather Mansour bin Zayed bin Sultan bin Zayed bin Khalifa Al Nahya pumps another £300m into Manchester City for another win? Or Manchester United win it for the XXXXXX time?
  4. I think I first saw this internet image in about 2006
  5. I think only Half Life 2, Civilization II and Secret of Mana eclipse this game. I think it really is one of the best games I've ever played.
  6. Hey, drunk man in the corner! I've got some helpful words for you! GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT.
  7. You are shitting me. Stop shitting me. Have you taken thetrees' duties from him?
  8. Well they've just bagged themselves a 50,000 capacity stadium for (almost) free and are about to get themselves a new deal payout from the premier league, so sadly I am aware that we won't compete with the likes of West bloody Ham ever again. But we're in the Midlands, so who cares? Aston Villa, the "Midlands outfit".
  9. They've already tried to make themselves look more important that the likes of us anyway. They're from London, so more people will listen to them I guess. My conclusion is they're a bunch of trumped up, small willied chancers but maybe that's just me.
  10. Having seen what looks like West Ham's badge change that is going ahead, we -MAY- have got off very lightly here. LONDON! WE'RE IN LONDON YOU KNOW! TOURISTY LIKE! PLEASE DON'T THINK WE'RE NOT FROM LONDON!
  11. Honestly, Carlsberg and Tetley. Tetley. Nobody should have to drink Tetley smoothflow at Villa Park, nobody. It's not even beer, it's stale maltwater with foam.
  12. I have followed this up literally two posts before yours.
  13. As has been established now, 80k - apologies for taking in what the rags said, and fair play to the club for putting that to bed. And actually, the crest just looks terrible printed on a screen. The embroidered one actually looks like an improvement. My god, I'm jekyll and Hyde today. I blame Lerner. For everything. Even my KFC habit.
  14. Oh my goodness me. Our identity is all we have left right now as we continue our decline. The badge is worse. It's actually worse. I didn't mind the last one - I'm a retro circular badge man though myself. But....we spent no money on players and two million quid to put claws on the lion and to take prepared off the badge. The proportions of the lion don't even look right.
  15. Some of you may know the answer to this better than I do, so I'll ask the noob question: It seems like an incredibly bad time for the PPK to break their ceasefire with Turkey. I mean, in terms of strategy. But I suspect I'm missing something here. With everything going to pot everywhere, and Kurdistan being a particular focal point of a where Western powers and Iran see eye to eye - wouldn't this not be an ideal time to unite as much as possible (between Turkish, Syrian and Iraqi Kurds) to fight ISIS? Because the squeeze of the only two big actual proper fighting forces against ISIS are the SAA now they have Russian support, and the Peshmerga with Shia Iran being in support.... Turkey is caught between all of this with a mad leader who seems to be throwing toys out of the pram at everyone.... I would have seen this as a great time to win backing of the West, Russia and Iran - then put pressure after to get autonomy from a Turkey all over the shop, a due-to-be partitioned-anyway Syria and Iraq (which is already part has) The PPK don't seem, to me, to have picked up and ideal point to continue the uprising against Turkey....
  16. Villatalk's album thread always seems to move with what I'm currently digging. It's so strange. I listen to Prince Fatty's cover of Insane in the Membrane last week which was on a Craig Charles Funk and Soul comp. As a result, I started getting into Prince Fatty - my god he's a talented chap isn't he? That concept album of a dub / Morricone-style western soundtrack is absolutely brilliant. On another tip, South Africa's Fantasma are really floating my boat at the moment. Great debut.
  17. I love this photo. That takes some balls, he must have been proper Laurel & Hardy....
  18. Stop with the lolnarrative. Sorry, I am really not helping going off topic here.
  19. Alright lapel, keep your knickers on!
  20. I actually googled this and came up with no results. I can't even Mooney what the kids say these days for an explanation of what they're saying. Unless Messi is pictured HTSIFOTH
  21. He would have been completely murdered in the league.
  22. Lubuntu, Oracle virtualbox. Works a treat. Boom!
  23. According to dictionary.com, we should no longer be applying "goat" to football managers, so I think we should move on from sounding like twelve year old children in a bus shelter. noun 1. any of numerous agile, hollow-horned ruminants of the genus Capra, of the family Bovidae, closely related to the sheep, found native in rocky and mountainous regions of the Old World, and widely distributed in domesticated varieties. 2. any of various related animals, as the Rocky Mountain goat. 3. (initial capital letter) Astronomy, Astrology. the constellation or sign Capricorn. 4. a scapegoat or victim. 5. a licentious or lecherous man; lecher. Idioms 6. get one's goat, Informal. to anger, annoy, or frustrate a person: His arrogance gets my goat.
  24. Jesus. We didn't even comment when he went.
