These things were beyond Lerner. Then once we've done that we can turn attention to the wreckage of the playing squad. Tbf though you don't need to be spending millions and millions to be competing at the top of the championship, plenty of teams on budget squads like Brighton and Wednesday are up there this season. Couldn't agree more mate. Although, I am slightly greedy as my physique suggests, so what the hell, spend, spend, spend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyrusr Posted May 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 18, 2016 This is off the weibo profile that has been linked elsewhere - but do you think this is the Newcastle game and he was here then or is it just a random off the web? if he was here wonder if us fans at Newcastle finally persuaded him?

Davkaus Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) It is the NEwcastle game, and it's taken from the box seats in the Trinity, looks likely he or one of his staff was there for it. That's as many games as Randy attended in the last 4 years. Edited May 18, 2016 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHA isn't that popular with Villa fans for some reason Thanks, happy to be corrected as I've no idea what I'm talking about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Seems there are a few different versions Xia 霞 (red sky) or Xia 夏 (summer) which roughly sounds like sha or she-ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwishIwasalivein1982 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 So our choice for the opening day of the season mosaic (yes there should be one) should either be The Chinese: What a great bunch of lads Or Bugs bunny: What's up, doc? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted May 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 18, 2016 My Everton supporting friend says Wyness was a complete prick and he was responsible for selling off their training ground, selling out to sponsors and that the club are still recovering from it all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
