Respect for the Manager
« on: October 02, 2010, 10:01:10 AM »


Should we not show more respect to our Manager (or M. le Rejouvenateur d'Emile) by, at the very least, including an e-acute when spelling out his forename i.e. Gérard Houllier?

If we win today and Ivanhoe gets a hat-trick we apply to the Pope for a Sainthood. Gérard will have the miracle box ticked.

I bet I'm in a minority of one, but why Ivanhoe?

Surely that should be Geezer. Sounds much better and at least has a Villa connection.

I really like what I've heard from him so far.  He is very intellectual.

Reminds me of the little claymation fellas in The Housemartin's Happy Hour video.
And I'm off to see Paul Heaton play in a bit :)
