General. why are you having a go at Pauliewalnuts? Probably one of our most loyal fans. Someone who follows the club home and away..


Really?

How come he posts so much on the match threads?


I'm a season ticket holder, and I sometimes miss matches due to work (now I work for myself)  but I don't get to away matches these days.

Hope that's Villa enough for you, Chris.

We were utterly cack (a Midlands word for shit) for most of the game today, we are allowed to mention this on an internet forum aren't we?

General, I have the utmost respect for you, but please do not come onto OUR forum and tell us what we can and can't say about the club we have invested a huge amount of our time and money following.


One of the most senseless and ignorant posts I've seen since the inception of message boards.

I don't care how many you go to but when Dave uses your away match attendance as a demonstration of loyalty I think for accuracies sake it should be corrected. Don't you?

I'd rather my attendance record wasn't dragged into it at all, to be fair, and certainly not resuscitated this morning.

I'd also like to think that attendance record doesn't affect anyone's entitlement to post, as we have a lot of very good posters who never get to a game at all.

I've had a season ticket for many years. If Mr Lerner cuts back and sells any of our best players this Summer, I won't renew. We need to invest further to progress or else things will just go backwards. I just wish he'd speak to us now and again. Speculation is allowed to fester too often at our club.

My fault, I thought he went to away games, I was wrong.

Anyway, while I'm here:

I apologise to The General for the "Our site" jibe, it was a thoughtless spur of the moment comment and I went to bed straight after posting it so didn't think about it until reading it back just now.
You are most welcome on here General and anyway, who am I to tell you otherwise?

But as I say, it was a spur of the moment comment. much like most of those posted on the match thread that caused this furore in the first place.

General...... We are all happy of the result. I am sur we can all agree to disagree about the  seemingly two halves of this site.. I,M IN THE  GLASS HALF FULL  side  especially on a day when we beat  the other team in our city .
 I can come away from a match moaning  about the quality of our football at times. But i recongise PROGRESS  when i  see it . Othes want it all and  want it now ...
All opinions are valued on here but for the half full  posters on this site  it does  grind you down that the "others" post such negitive posts especially after a win  . we should have had a 24 hr lock down  clear heads and  enjoy our six win in a row....
General whats your thoughts on...... VIDEO TECH FOR THE REFS ? *WINKY*

Well said Dave, it needed saying imo and you did. There's plenty that wouldn't.

Winning is the be all and end all to me-would be nice to win with style but the result is the main thing-as long as we win I'm happy .

General i'm sure we all appreciate your views and opinions and I'm grateful to you for all you do for our club,you are one of us and very welcome.

Football is a hugely passionate and emotional game and in the heat of the moment passions run high but I'm sure we are fully united in wanting to see a successful Aston villa.

Let's all get behind the players and try and get the 2 wins we need and see where it takes us-we are a great club with great fans and this forum gives us all a chance to air our opinions and is a great read.

This is probably as good a point as any to try to get the thread back to only non-playing questions for the General.
