Sod it! I'm starting a new topic. I don't want anyone to miss that our Frank is representing Villa for the Cup draw on The One Show tomorrow! They might interview him, but he mostly has to exchange a pennant with whoever we draw.
The club asked me for a Villa superfan, and I thought of Frank. I am really excited that he has agreed to do it!
-
Nice one Frank, il be watching
-
If we get the stripeys will he strangle their fan with the pennant?
-
That's brilliant, well deserved!

The Albion fan will just be standing there bewildered wondering why the man and the lady are reaching into a bowl and calling out big numbers.
-
Who is our Frank? Should we know him?

He's the poster on here cunningly disguised as 'frank'.
-
Of course
-
He is following in the footsteps of Adrian Chiles. After The One Show he will be fronting ITV's football coverage.
-
What the hell are you all on about? Who is Frank?

Talks to the young un's about drugs.

Why didn't Frank take the penalty ?

Whilst of course Frank is the correct choice, I can't help but think that we've missed a chance of causing utter chaos on national television by not sending Legion.
Just imagine the site of all the numbered balls spilling onto the floor and Lineker et al scrabbling around trying to pick them up.
-
If they do actually interview me you've given me a lot to talk about - drugs, penalties etc. I suspect that if they interview any of the 21 club representatives they'll be more interested in the giantkillers than us. But we'll see. We have to report to Broadcasting House at 4 o'clock, 3 hours before the programme.
The draw I'm hoping for is
Number 8 Aston Villa
plays
Number 4 Bradford City
-
I'm in Broadcasting House later I'll come and give you a wave.
-
Will be watching, have fun Frank.
I am not sure what happens if we draw teams that are not definitely through yet, like Sheffield United and Preston North End. Who do you give the pennant to?
-

One of the nicest men you could wish to meet and a Villa fan who follows us all over, come hell or high water and to the furthest outposts. A complete and utter gentleman. Very active too with the overseas Villa fans' groups - links up with Archie and the Italian mob and the German contingent (had a very nice time with them and Frank once in a pub in Putney pre-match) And to make it even more impressive, he lives down here in West Sussex. Someone I am always glad to say is a 'better' fan than me
-
Fulham away please Frank :)

Agree Frank Bradford at home would be great to exorcise that demon. Make it happen.

It's our year if we get Frank Bradford in the next round.

"They'll have to share it", I was told. At £7 a second one wouldn't have broken the bank (compared with, say, one or two players' salaries)
-
Hang on, did you have to pay for the pennant yourself? Get that Jones woman to cough up a few quid.
-
Good call Amfy, good luck Frank.
Get Preston or Sheffield United and give Preston the pennant. I've got a 'Special Villa Souvenir' I can give the missus (she's a Blade) to save the £7.
-
My request for him to wear a Lambert out t-shirt has so far gone unanswered...
-
Great stuff Frank, I wont see it live but will have it on record. If you get the chance to have a quite word with Alex just tell her that I think she is absolutely gorgeous, to die for in fact, the only reason to watch the show but not listen to what's going on, another fact.
-

I'm considering a version of the Paul Tait t-shirt
-
Enjoy it frank!
Can't watch it live but will be rooting for you mate.
Come on you Villa boy!
-
If we draw Manure or Arsenal then you won't be allowed back into the Bartons, so no pressure.... ;)
-
-
I don't care who we draw - home or away - if our name's on the Cup, WE WILL WIN!
-
Frank, just make sure we get another lower league team at home that put out their second string.
If you can't manage that, Albion at home, please.
-
It is just a shame that Toby jug face doesn't still do it. You could have punched him for me.
-
If we get drawn against somebody decent, I hope you will take one for the team Frank and run in and disrupt the draw so they have to start again.
-
I like that idea. A couple of has been players start drawing the balls. "Number x - Man Ure will play Number 8 - Aston Villa".
At which point Frank swoops onto shot and kicks the podium holding the balls through the windows.
-
I've sorted a t-shirt for you Frank.

The old Basil Fawlty faint should do the trick.

That would be amazing, even more so as it would be Frank doing it!
He'd become The One Show One!

I thought Frank was an International drug lord, that's what you keep telling me in The Bartons anyway.
-
He is using this as a ruse to serve his regular punters in Broadcasting House.....

Is Frank Bough still there then?

Are you mental. Last time I wanted revenge I wanted rapid Vienna. look how that turned out. Do what you can with the heated balls for reading or Blackburn at home. Even away to be fair.
-
Just had our first glimpse of Frank

Spot on.
-
I was expecting Eccleston to be introduced and immediate announce that he was quitting Fortitude
-
This is just a cheap stunt by the Beeb to get a shed load of people watching this shite.
-
This is the first time that I've seen The One Show. I've seen the woman (Alex?) on 8OOTC but never seen the bloke before. Is this the show that Chiles presented before he jumped ship to ITV?
-
I've got the show muted, so haven't got a clue what these features are about
-

What, getting Frank on?
-
Blackburn and Stoke get interviewed
-
Just seen Frank!
-
Frankie Frankie give us a wave!
-
It's on BTSport as well
-
Get fucking in!
-
Just seen Frank!
-
That'll do
-
Christopher Eccleston was easily the worst Dr Who since Colin Baker. The twat.

-
Frank shows some class and looks at the Leicester bloke. Leicester bloke mugs to the camera
-
Leicester bloke bottled it. He couldn't take the pure animal heat of Franks manly stare.
-
Well if we can't beat the crisp munchers to reach the last 8 we need shooting, never have a better chance and we owe Lineker's mob a tonking after clogger Konchesky's goal & the £60K. How come they only got fined £20K ?!
-
That's a robust handshake. Good on you Frank.

I think that Villa had already been "warned as to their future conduct" after the Spurs incident

Because it was our third charge of the season.

Thx for clarifing the fine situation. All started by the "in the face" behaviour of Mason and the Benteke shove c/w a spineless ref. The the rest was just plain stupidity (apart from Gabby's rescinded red) >:(
-
Frank, a legend!
-
Easily the most elegant, stylish and devastatingly good looking of the fans.
And the presenters.
-
I must say that whatever else we argue over on this site, it's nice that we are in agreement on what a fine gentleman Frank is.

I wish H&V had a "Like" button, Lou!
-
Caught up with your appearance when I got back from the theatre last night. Hope you're prepared for the adoring adulation heading your way now we all know what you look like frank!
UTV!
-
Unfortunately the quarter final draw will be made by a nose who has been briefed about the Villa square/hot ball.
-
Will Frank be presented to the crowd at the Chelsea match?
Easily the best TV performance by Villa this season

remember that poll years ago, might have been on here I cant remember
anyway the question was 'what is the best performance you have seen at Villa Park in the last 30 years'
Billy Graham came top, with Rod Stewart a close second, you had to laugh
-
Happy enough with the draw. If we get through you're hired for the next round Frank.

I'll take my fee in pints at the Barton's, Adam!

If we win the cup I presume the entire H&V family will be fully behind a campaign for Frank to be Sports Personality Of The Year. Hopefully beating Gerrard into second place after we beat Liverpool in the final and see him cry.
-
I would happily hand over a significant amount of money to see us turn Liverpool over in the Gerrard final.
-
Saw this in the paper...lol
UTV Frank
The Doc.
Earlier today the BBC released viewing figures for last nights One Show. Apparently there was a huge increase in numbers fuelled by Aston Villa supporters looking to see who they had drawn in the 5th Round of The FA Cup. Viewing numbers were further increased by supporters of Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion tuning in to see who The Villa had got in the next round. #obsessedwithvilla

A large number of Birmingham City fans are still scrolling through their on screen menus after getting lost looking for which channel The One Show was on.

Oo yes. Beasant & Sanchez could play for us. Aldridge could miss the penalty awarded to them by Phil Dowd, who will have sent off Vlaar for not fouling anyone nowhere near the goal.
-
Choke on this whilst you eat your tea. It's a piece by Dave Kidd in today's Mirror having a go at Mike Riley. Sorry I can't find a link so I'll just quote the last two sentences: 'But unlike many of his colleagues, Dowd is not a rules-is-rules killjoy. And he is a better referee for it...whatever the stats say'.
-
And a cheating fat wankers to boot.

Dave, I am on holiday in The Philippines and you have still managed to make me angry....
-
Fairs fair I suppose Pat. You've just made me angry by telling me you're in the Philippines whilst is snowing like hell here!

Nice one Frank! Sadly have been not been on here for a few days so didn't know you were going to be on so didn't bother watching. Hope you had fun.

Yes, very enjoyable, and thanks to Amfy for nominating me. The only drawback was that it was all outside on a cold January night and we were all wearing our lightweight replica shirts

You should have thought ahead and borrowed some of Damon's 'Outside Broadcast Thermals'.

Because rule number 3 (i) of filming football supporters states that they must always be wearing replica shirts.
-
Frank should have come with his CP Company coat and some black leather gloves. Maybe let a flare off and started shouting Lineker is a jug eared twat!
-
Jug-eared, pro-war Tory twat, please!!
