The General C. Krulak Thread XIV

I don't think that was what graham poll meant. What was meant was, why, after our best season since, what, 2000, there is a need for such a poll.

ps supporter for 38 years, I'm 39 so I've done my best. ;o)

You're only 39 ????

You're younger than me !!!!!!!!

Hey, less of the shock! ;o)

Because there is clearly some debate over it.

It's really not that difficult. If you've a problem with that, you are putting yourself at odds with the whole existence of this site, which is to discuss Aston Villa.

I've seen far more batty suggestions debated on here (over the course of hundreds of pages sometimes) than "have we had a good season".

Although admittedly not very often since Peter W disappeared.

Oi, no need to be so condescening. No need for that paragraph at all.

I'm talking "you" in the sense of "one", ie people in general, rather than yourself.

General,

why can't the players be arsed to at least wave to waiting Villa supporters when they get off the coach before away games?

Seconded. At Bolton I went to see the Bolton players arrive. Without exception they acknowledged the supporters, signed autographs and even posed for photos. I then went round to the away team entrance to see the Villa team arrive,and when they did they steadfastly ignored the fans cheering them off the coach. Could they not at least smile or nod at us?

[KevinGage]

General do you think that asking someone who is a lifelong supporter who they are going to support because they are unhappy is in keeping with a proud history bright future?
I will not be renewing my season tickets if that is your attitude.

 General Welcome to our world !

gENERAL CAN YOU BELIEVE THEREE IS A POLL RUNNING ON HERE  WITH THE OPTION GOOD OR BAD SEASON ! FFS
.

It's a crazy world we're living in.

I could have got this completely arse about face but I think the opening post on that thread was roughly along the lines of "I think it's been a good season, what do you think?"

To which most of the responses were broadly in agreement, with a few caveats re home form, style of play et.c.

Let me turn it around Graham, what do you think is suitable for discussion?

What would meet with your approval?

[Risso]

Sorry Kevin, not here please.

I know this is'nt a question and apologies in advance, but i'd like to respond, if i may to the above post.

Some freinds of mine waited until AFTER the Bolton away game and the players were happy to sign autographs and pose for pictures. It could be that they want to keep their focus on the game in hand, but as long as they acknowledge the fans afterwards, then i don't see it as too much as a problem.

[The Situation]

Hi;

What's happened to Curtis Davies? I noticed he doesn't even make the bench which I think is odd or is he still injured?

Thanks.

Maybe. But if you arrive by coach you won't be able to see the players leave as you are most likely straight off after the game. Little kids who wait to see them won't necessarily know that they can sign autographs after the game. I'm sure the players do plenty of good work... visiting local hospitals, schools, etc. But a wave before a game is good publicity and free... why not do it?

[YamPie]

If you want autographs/photos just go to bodymoor. That's where players have their own time and always find time to stop and sign/pose

Don't they usually train during the week when people are either at school or work?

Yes, thats why we go in the school holidays with the little un

General, is it true that you dont have a sense of humour? Im not a grass but dave said it...

Anyway, can you give us a hint about the pre-season friendlies and if villa are coming to north american? Im having my stag party and need to plan a weekend away. I would prefer vegas but i would consider somewhere slightly desireable like, i dunno, detroit

[TimTheVillain]

General.

It has come to light by Dave Woodhall and others on here that David Cameron is not a Villa fan.

Self confessed I add......( ask Chico Hamilton).

Maybe he should be takken off the OS ?
