Not seen it anywhere else

-
He'll be glad to avoid any transaction charge questions.
-
I'm going to try and play Botticelli with him by asking "Were you the first man on the moon?"
-
20,000 ST sold so far, not much else to write about.
-
20,000 season tickets, which is the best number at this stage of the year for a few seasons.
-
"Do you have a soul?"
-
Typical saying nothing
We got a nice pitch and wants to win the FA Cup
-
Any developments on a trial standing area at Villa Park? Noel Kavanagh - Not at present. As most people know, we were the first Premier League club to publically support the Football Supporters Federation's campaign for safe standing, and I know that has helped to bring the issue greater attention. It's a complex subject for a number of reasons, but I do fundamentally think it would be a good thing if done in the right way, and so we'll continue to support the campaign. Watch this space...
-
What can the poor bloke really say? He will skirt the questions most fans ask about transfers, backing Lambert with big money for a special player type things because it can't be answered without giving things away or upsetting. So it will be periphery questions that he can answer the best he can I would bet.
-
Can he spot me a tenner?
-
Still no answers to my questions yet so i'm trying a different tack.
How much will you pay me to make Stephen Ireland 'disappear' in such a way as we get the insurance money?
-
Asked quite a few questions but bet none will get answered...
-
"With Macron we now have a lot of input into the kit design, and they have been very open minded with thoughts around new designs. Personally I think it's good to have kits that are unique rather than just based off a template that you then also see other clubs wearing."
-
I've just asked the ultimate in important questions. Red or brown sauce on a bacon sandwich?
-
I've asked whether:
Granted it was the manager with the final say but whther he felt we had issues with the defence and whether there was still scope to develop the squad (knew it wouldn't be asked)
Whether he felt his own lack of footballing background and relatively young age had ever been an obstacle and how he'd overcome it
And a few others before "Do you plan on answering anything even remotely challenging and not sterile?"
I'm just being grumpy this evening
-
Q: The fans seem to be excited by PL's 'Young n Hungry' signing policy - can you enjoy it fully too? Knowing that there is clearly a risk involved.
A: I don't think that the Manager really considers any of our new signings as risks. He has faith in all of the players he has brought to the club and I think that has been justified. Don't forget that he made his professional debut as a 15 year old, so he knows himself what it is like to be a young player playing at the top level
-
"Do you have a little weep whenever you see Stephen Ireland?"
-
"Does Stephen have a little wank whenever he sees you?"
-
Hahahahahahahaha
Comment From Julie B
Will we be signing Kiyotake ?
-
Must be a wind up.
-
A: No. This is another question that the Manager touched on last week at the Season Ticket Holder forum. We did make an enquiry about the player, but only the sort of enquiry that we make about lots of players during a transfer window. For some reason - and I have no idea why - his club decided to make that public, but the fact is that our interest never went beyond that initial enquiry.
-
How the fuck did that one slip through the net?!
-
That gave me a good laugh!
-
Whoever did that, I salute you.
-
I didn't think that would slip through the net. Just a bit of a laugh
-
Q: Will we be signing more players?
A: There are still 3 weeks left in the window, so at this stage it's still a case of wait and see. Our plan was to do most of our business early in the summer for the reasons I've mentioned earlier, and hopefully we will see the benefit of that once we get into the season.
-
Are these not same questions as last time???
-
Yes, get in there!
Comment From PWS
Hi Paul, us Villa fans have a long running debate on the merits of red sauce or brown sauce on a bacon sandwich. Where do you stand on this vital question?
Paul Faulkner: Brown sauce all day long.

I see you PWS hahaha

Well it shows he's not writing the questions himself.

please tell me you followed up by asking "what if you were having a burger?" If he says brown sauce to that - FAULKNER OUT!

Red sauce is the bloody cum of the devil.

True Clampy.
He's either being deliberately and sneakily evasive or doesn't understand the significance of the only REAL brown sauce on the planet!

Just munched a burger (not a euphemism!) and I had that precise combination Mister E!
Delicious!

What were you expecting?
-
What are his views on the cricket?
-
Every time something like this happens I'm reminded of the occasion circa 2005 when we had a poster complain that he'd e mailed Mark Ansell saying he was useless and should resign"AND HE DIDN'T AGREE!!!"
-
I like these Q&A things. I'm not expecting any shocking revelations but it does allow the individuals within the club to show some personality.

Brown sauce is the stools of our lord Jesus (Christ, not Navas...though he used to get the shits anytime he strayed further than Sevilla).

You get it premixed in bottles as burger sauce over here (it's not quite the same but close enough).
As for the Julie B question, I'd be very surprised if they weren't waiting for that one, they've probably let it through to make a point. There's no way someone rants that much for that long on twitter without the club taking note, this is a subtle, but very public, way to end it. I guarantee that answer was prepared.

Something a little for relevant , dunno targets for season, corporate developments of club , detail of stadium plan's. Something a little more incensive .

Well did anyone ask those type of questions? The only one he might have skipped was the targets for the season as that:
- Could have been spun by the press.
- Could have put undue pressure on the manager and the team.
- Would have upset some fans that we weren't saying finish in the top four / win the league

Incensive?
For incense-based entertainment you need to get yourself down to a hippie shop or maybe hit a RC Benediction service, where, if memory serves, it emanates from a swinging thurible.

In my burger world it is important to have red sauce on the bottom and the mustard on the top. That way you get enough of the individual flavours to taste before it all mushes up into one explosion of healthy goodness!
And ground black pepper.
None of these things on a bacon sandwich!!!

I am only expressing an opinion that in an hour he said fuck all really.Sorry I know that wrong to hold a view

Not wrong, just badly-thought through.

More naive than a wrong view. As if he is going to say anything controversial. It's a bit of PR fun, nothing more.

But as Dave says, I'm fairly sure that if someone had asked 'are there any current plans to expand the ground', then he may well have answered it.
But unless someone on here asked that and knows that it was deliberately avoided, then we can just assume that nobody cared enough about the answer to bother asking it.
-
I don't mind things like this. Even if it only gives a little bit of an insight into how the club is being run, that can only be a good thing.

Indeed! I was especially pleased to notice that he likes brown sauce on his bacon sandwich!
-
I always find it amusing that when clubs don't try and communicate some people are so quick to criticise them for it, and when they try to in whatever capacity some people are quick to stick on their cynics caps and criticise them for that. Anyone who thinks that our Chief Executive is going to give away key information is massively naive. Off course Faulkner is only going to give guarded answers because if he gives anymore, and says anything resembling something definitive, if it then doesn't come off he'll get hammered for it.

Did you find that when you were younger salt & vinegar was the crisp you actively avoided, yet now (I'm 24) they are arguably the best crisps going?
-
I just wish they'd bring Beef and Onion back. Steak and Onion were just not the same.

Other way round for me. Loved them as a kid, hate them now. Cheese and onion all the way.
Anyway, did anyone ask about a museum?
-

The Walkers Beef and Onion were well lush. I loved them, they were perfect for crisp sarnies as well. I still haven't forgiven them for swapping them for S&O which taste horrible.
-
I asked him if there was a five year plan.
-
Should have asked Bowie that instead.

I see faulkner as a scampi in a basket type of pub lunch bloke. he'll always have half a pint left and have is sleeves rolled up to his elbows and will only go when he can stand in the beer garden. He'll have no more than 3 pints then go home. At least one of his friends will be a teacher.

a teacher who is guaranteed to be wearing those jackets with elbow patches. Used to be a 20 a day guy but has given it up for social and environmental reasons more so than his health.

You've described me. Cool guy or what?

I bet he has lunch at his parents every Sunday.

So, is that, er, good or not?

I just don't see what the deal is with scampi. It doesn't taste of anything.

there are 2 things that smell like fish

My brain hurts a lot.
Scampi can be quality, just not frozen from a supermarket.
-
I've never eaten Scampi since I ate it at an Indian restaurant at a works-do and got food poisoning. I used to like it but now I just have bad memories of it.
-

Being a bottom feeder, scampi will taste of whatever shit it's been living off, usually dead fish or whatever comes spewing out of sewerage pipes which they tend to hang around.
Enjoy your tea

I dont eat Walkers crisps anymore since they started putting animals in them. Who wants bits of pig in smokey bacon crisps?

So you're saying he's an unfeeling, callous, ungrateful shit?

Either that or he does every other Sunday.
