Ok, here is a challenge for anybody who is good with Google : See if you can find an image of that famous Australian newspaper front page. You know, the one that said "is there anyone in England who can play cricket?" (or words to that effect. Id be most grateful.

Id say Davis is first choice now.

There is nothing wrong with Sven. His record in competitive games stands up to anybody in the world. Its just his atitude towards frendlies. Sven is guilty of letting this disgraceful kind of atitude creep in to non competitive games. Giving out caps like confetti, and making 11 substitutions during games means that the players now consider them to be little more than kickabouts, not full internationals. Someone like Pearce would change all that, but for **** sake. let him cut his teeth at club level first! Judge Sven after the qualifiers, not after a friendly that he clearly didnt give a shit about. Personally, i think this result could be good for English football. It will make him think about things he has never thought about before, and it will force him to answer some tricky questions. Lets hope he reacts in a positive manner.

let me know how you go. Im not sure how easlily cracked this game will be.

Box says: Im running it on 3ghz AMD processor (well, the 3000+ to be precise) 1gb DDR ram 256mb ATI X800xt platinum graphics card 5 button mouse. And with that, i can have everything turned up as high as it will go. So basically, getting it to run isnt going to be a problem on anything other than the slowest PC's. Its a fantastic game, it really really is.

Oh, and time for a screenshot:

well, given that the game is impossible to complete, because it doesnt have an end, id say someone is full of shit!

Why? Whats the difference between playing a game when you are in, as opposed to watching TV?

Another games thread from moi... Anyone else play this game? (watch this if you havent got a clue what im talking about) Myself and D1 are on there. I did think Resi 4 was a shoe in for my game of 2005. Now im not so sure. This thing is epic! edit: 19th October 2007 Just because im a nice guy, some info: If you are thinking of signing up, make a Horde character on Tarren Mill server and you will get some help from plenty of Villa Fans. World of Warcraft is a class based game, and what class you pick will have a massive impact on your overall experience. I found the best thing to do when deciding a class is to have a look at this link before you take the plunge. There are also lots of quests to do in World of Warcraft. If you get stuck on a quest, visit the mighty Wowhead.com People who play WoW and post on VT. Forum name and in game character name. Some people have more than one character. Tarren Mill Server (PvP) Horde Limpid = Limpid, Limped, Limpt The_Rev = Nayson, Eau (taking a break at the moment) ED = Evildan, Ewiddan, Lolmangle Designer1 = Siongest, Sionguest Risso = Rissok Trl = Trl, Renew, Handful Red_5 = Samisdead Irishjay = Rishj Juju = Samosa, Merkin, Vilajuju Craigyh_74 = Tarq, Tarqy Ill edit more of this later, adding more useful links and the names and servers of the anti social bastards who didnt pick Horde on Tarren Mill.

Gigs all the way. Unless we sign Giggs from Man U. Then i might say football.

One thing about The Simpsons, is it aint anywhere near as good as it used to be. It peaked at the "you only move twice" episode (with Hank Scorpio) and has been downhill ever since. Mind you, television peaked at the Simpsons "you only move twice" episode, and has been downhill ever since. So its fair comment to just how brilliant the Simpsons could be.

Simpsons. Just for what its done. At its peak, it really was the most ground breaking cartoon ever. If it wasnt for The Simpsons pushing animated comedy into prime time slots aimed at adults, its quite likely that the likes of Family Guy would never have existed.

Yep. And yet Leicester City fans couldnt understand while he left them for a club where he had spent pretty much his entire life, from schoolboy to footballing legend to backroom staff! "Judas" my arse. Brian was just coming home.

Id always have the Magic man out wide right.

Big Ron. Best Villa side ive seen, and in 92/93 (belive it or not young uns) we were actually "the entertainers" playing the most attractive football in the league. Also put some silverware on the table, with a tactical masterclass, finding a way to beat a Manchester United side who were massively superior on a man to man basis.

McCann. Best of a very average bunch. Taylor and Townsend would run rings around this lot.

Taylor might have been a Villa boy, but Andy Townsend was a better player.

Best two centre halves on that list are God and Southgate. (before Olly fans start bitching, Southgate was a better player.)

Its still Sorensens shirt to lose this season.

Blue, but not in that photo. Any excuse to see us with silverware though

Option 3. If Vass had stayed, we would be looking at a seson of mid table mediocrity, getting knocked out of the FA cup in the 3rd round, and failing to beat either Blues or Albion. Now Vass has gone, we are looking at a seson of mid table mediocrity, getting knocked out of the FA cup in the 3rd round, and failing to beat either Blues or Albion.

Its option 3. Vass has been poor since O'Leary arrived at the club. He was living on reputation, and some decent England performances in the last two or three seasons. Again, if he goes on to do well at Man City, then fair play to him. I wish the lad well, but he had gone stale at B6. My big concern isnt that we have lost a striker, but that we wont sign a suitable replacement.

Im wondering if the sale of Vassell will mean that people take a more pesimistic look at the season ahead, and revise their opinions of where we are going to finish? I mean, im starting to doubt that we can win the league by more than, say, ten points at the minute* *admittely, im a biased ****.

And every time you buy a copy, you donate money to the great unwashed at Birmingham City FC. Hang your head in shame mister!
