Never! (http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~2958464,00.html)
Have you ever wondered who produced the now-famous video of Stewart Downing nudging four balls into four dustbins?
If so, step forward Nick Finney, the club's multimedia operations manager.
Finney - along with former designer Mark Clayton - were charged back in 2009 with creating imaginative content for our upcoming season ticket campaign.
After several meetings with marketing chiefs, the concept of players doing extraordinary things on camera was born.
They would take the form of short teasers, uploaded on YouTube and professing to be archive clips mysteriously 'leaked' from the club.
First up was Carlos Cuellar dismantling a lawnmower with a single boot of the ball because its whirring noises were putting him off in an interview.
John Carew then hammered a shot into the large Villa Park crest sign to stop it flickering. James Milner managed to chip four balls into four dustbins - off the crossbar, no less! - while Ashley Young donned a blindfold before prodding four balls against the crossbar.
If you genuinely thought this was claret and blue magic, I'm afraid it wasn't!
-
They were fake? I'll never trust again.
-
Lerner and Faulkner out, lying bastards
That Lambo bloke never told us soon enough either.
-
Fake ? No way. Thats it now. Enough is enough.
I will get me coat, again.

It wasnt even original. They stole the idea from NFL Fantasy Files promo's
-
Did they also do that fake Enkleman footage at the Sty?

Shit no. That was real, even though it didn't feel like it at the time. Sorry.

Wasn't it rumoured that Liverpool signed Downing off the back of afore mentioned video?
Hardy Har Har.

I think that was more than a rumour.

I saw this thread on facebook and thought it was announcing the picture of Bannan swigging estrella in Barca this week in a Celtic shirt was in fact fake!

First the girlfriend. Now the Villa.
Fuckers!

Well, it worked on Liverpool.

Is there an actual image of this?
-
Have the club started on fake footage of Hutton making a sliding challenge...and hilariously not breaking someone's leg?!?!?

If he got clearance from management there shouldn't be a problem. We'll find out tomorrow if he's in the squad or not.

See if I wasnt getting into the first team, i'd be making sure I did everything I could to get into it that doesn't included boozing at a Celtic game in Barcelona

Is one beer 'boozing'? Again, we'll find out tomorrow.

It's certainly not putting extra time in the gym or on the training pitch!

That it is not. Mind you, he's put in better performances than Delph this season and finds himself out of the team.

How the hell did Liverpool fake that footage of D*****g purportedly scoring at Anfield last night? That was great CGI.
When a goal scored by an attacking player is described on the radio as "coming from an unlikely source" that just about sums it up.
