Thank You Card

[Risso]

It's a thread about a marketing card sent out by the club which, as per fucking usual, some bright spark decides that what we need is yet another discussion about Martin O'Neill's transfer policy.

Where has that happened in this thread?

Well, I was chuffed to get mine. I think it's a very nice gesture, and even my missus - who normally couldn't give a toss about football - was quite impressed with it. Great photo and all - proud history indeed.

It's raining today after a week of good weather, fecking Oneill, needs sacking allowing this to happen and by the way what about all the money wasted on transfers.

[Dave Cooper please]

You only have to look at this thread to see why. It's a thread about a marketing card sent out by the club which, as per fucking usual, some bright spark decides that what we need is yet another discussion about Martin O'Neill's transfer policy.

Ex-fucking-actly.

But just because one of the miserabalists has a quick poke to see who is biting, do the HC's have to jump in and start the whole bloody cycle off again?

Stupid question, yes of course they do, it's second fucking nature to both sides now.

Here's a plan - if you see a post that is obviously trying to start yet another tedious "Good Villa / Bad Villa" yawnathon, ignore it, it's dead easy, I do it all the time.

[Dave Cooper please]

Fair enough. I was trying to remember who was praising us to the skies after the Chelsea defeat, for instance.

Well to defend the indefensible would have been difficult for even the most ardent!

I find the best option is to take the piss to be honest. If somebody is moaning or criticising the receiving of a thank you card, it's so pathetic it doesn't really warrant any serious comment.

It also has the added bonus of giving the cynics who like to see the downside to everything another opportunity to have a winge. Everyone's a winner.

And the added bonus of giving those who praise everything Villa do to the skies

These people exist?

They do.

I should know, I'm one of them

In that case, you should send Villa a thank you card thanking them for their thank you card.

Yes, but I did it just to prove you couldn't ignore it.
And you couldn't, so that proves it.

I win.

So there.

I haven't received a card. I'm debating whether to be offended or glad I don't have to worry about recycling the card and envelope.

I haven't had one either. Sister has though.
