The unit of measurement hasn't been invented yet to adequately describe how little I give a toss what the media think of our Christmas video.

My wife was trying to figure out who the "really old looking coach was"....it was Gabby.
She said, "He looks older than Sid!"

It's exactly what you'd expect. And who gives a fuck what some twat at the Metro thinks of it.

Probably a Man Utd fan still grumpy about Saturday. Expect James Nursey to pick up on it at some point.

Christmas will be a bundle of laughs at Villa park. Man that was depressing.

I've just found a picture of the Santa they've hired:

If this is all it takes to destroy someone's soul they are lacking in a bit of perspective, that's for sure.

"Merry Christmas, Villa fans" said Tom Cleverley, blissfully unaware said Villa fans are all hoping he gets sent back up to Britain's ninth biggest city in January.

It seems okay to me.

I hope the Metro get visited by three spirits on Christmas Eve.

And they all do a big turd in the middle of the office.

Mature, me.

Also, they might want to learn the difference between 'it's' and 'its', the Daily Mail-in-Ugg-boots pissflaps.

The opportunity to have your soul destroyed, apparently.

I don't see the problem. It's one of those 'the media department says do it or else' type videos every footballer has to do at some point. What were they expecting, a Royal Variety Performance?

That said, I particularly enjoyed Fabian Delph's 'wacky' face.

I think they perfectly encapsulated the modern Christmas spirit. Job well done and bah humbug indeed.

I dunno… There are aspects of life that can be ‘proved’ to be real and others that may be harder to prove but we generally agree they exist, I suppose emotions would fit in that category. But what other aspects of the human condition or indeed nature can be considered ‘real’ to the point we can accept they can be destroyed? Hopes are something that we can all agree can be destroyed. Are souls?

Done, you need to watch for the rogue 's'. For it to embed it needs to be http, but some youtube videos, especially accessed via Facebook are https.

Unless you follow the parody "Boring James Milner" account on Twitter you probably won't get the joke.

Comes to something when even club xmas videos get analysed now, I was half expecting Neville and Carragher to pop up with their tactics board!

It's a total non story. Mind you a funny one from a few years back was Kolarov I think dryly reading a Christmas Carol or something

 


Enjoy!

No I got it, but it didn't need to be so long and laboured.
