Amazing Quote THE ability to spot a minor grammar error is proof that you are amazing, it has been confirmed. Researchers at the Institute for Studies found that people who loudly exclaim about apostrophes and ‘who versus whom’ are actually better than everyone else. Professor Henry Brubaker said: “In no way are any of these people vain, arsey pedants. “Grammar perfectionists are both intellectually and morally superior to other types of human. “The way they selflessly dedicate themselves to correct punctuation, for example by pointing out to the staff of a chip shop why the term ‘chip’s’ is a sloppy obfuscation, confirms they are bold and righteous individuals. “If grammar people just learned to let things go sometimes, where would we be as a civilisation? Just fighting in mud, probably.” 56-year-old Roy Hobbs said: “Heaven forbid that my scrupulous attention to linguistic detail should be driven by intellectual vanity. “The reason I loudly vocalise my frustration about a writer confusing ‘that’ and which’ is because of my passion for good English. “It’s not that I want a crowded room to know how clever I am.” 43-year-old pedant Mary Fisher said: “So we are ‘generally better’? Better than whom? Better is a relative term. “But perhaps you didn’t know that.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted December 22, 2016 Moderator Share Posted December 22, 2016 The next time you have a SHA fan dare bring up the topic of support just remind them of this. On boxing day we will have 42K for a game against Burton, that is more than double their average attendance this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 itll be 15k more than baggies get in any game this season too said before in here after going to their place this season its madness for the other 3 midlands clubs to even put themselves anywhere near what we are, 2 minutes in the 4 grounds and you can see exactly what we are compared to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) Rowett and Pannu fell out over money. Every time they won a game Rowett would stick a few quid on his contract demands. Zola just kind of fell into their lap and the rest is history. Source is confidential so please don't PM me. Take it for whatever you think it's worth. Edit - I might have gotten Pannu and Panos mixed up! They're all just noses to me. Will seek to clarify at some point!

dont_do_it_doug. Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 This bit is conjecture but it sounds like Rowett got a bit Barry big bollocks. Hence all the anti Villa stuff, he tried to position himself as untouchable. Blues called his bluff. He had talks with QPR and Blues were happy to let him go, I don't know that happened from there.

Genie Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I mentioned a page or so back he really was loving himself recently, especially in the game against us. He's done a decent job at small Heath that's for sure. Nothing incredible though really, they're still sitting outside the playoffs. If he had SHA in the top 3 scoring loads of goals then he might have a decent case for his OTT wage demands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 His reputation is in tact. Nobody should feel sorry for him, he'll probably rock up in the Premier League next. I'm absolutely delighted he's not Aston Villa manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 He always came across as an absolute clearing in the woods and I'm astounded (or maybe not) that people were so desperate for him to manage us. The whole Villa fan thing was utter bullshit too. Steve Bruce's left bollock is more Villa than Gary Rowett. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 It's a very odd turn of phrase, that doesn't seem to work in context. Of course 'Steve Bruce's left bollock' is 'more Aston Villa' than Gary Rowett, it is literally attached to the Aston Villa manager after all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I almost mentioned Robbie Savage but thought that was a step too far. Anyway, here's a quote from Villa fan Gary Rowett: “Having played at St Andrew’s for two years and been here as a manager for two years, I would like to think people will understand that I am thoroughly Blue - and a Birmingham City fan.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't really get them in much danger of getting up which would have been a fantastic achievement. Was he in charge when our utter shite side beat them in the cup?

Also when rowett came in they had just been absolutely humiliated by Bournemouth 8-0. He gave them two mid tables finishes for me that's a miracle considering how shit their squad is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
