Nope, just made yourself look like an idiot. No skin of anyone else's nose I would imagine.

If you'd have taken that approach in the first place the world would be a better place.

To use a popular phrase.   He's not worth it.

Let's have a proper fight

Greg, what's all this dissing of supporters with grey hair?   Cheeky ageist fucker.

Thanks for generalising me without even knowing me.
You've provided enough evidence on here to be able to form an opinion.

And on his previous forum of choice.....


When you come across as the biggest eejit on there, that's when you're really in trouble.

Well I wouldn't say that he was anywhere near that, he had a lot of competition.

Beginning of the french revolution...... bunch of surrender monkeys.....

i hope we lose 4 or 5 nil saturday so we can get rid and move on with somebody who's bothered. Break the bank for Holloway i'd say. He'd tell Mr Pires where to go...
You're a bit of an attention seeker, aren't you?

Nope. I want Villa to compete,

Not only do you want us to lose heavily, you don't even know what day we're plaqying. What a great Villa supporter you are.

Hello, first time poster on here, although I'm of an Everton persuasion rather than Villa. Still knew the European Cup year though ;)

I was lucky enough to get an interview with Robert Pires recently and he seems very sure that he's in good shape to play, a feeling apparently shared by Duverne and Wenger. Just curious as to how he's looked in the few appearances or so he's made (apart from 'typically gallic', of course). Is it simply a case of the likes of Albrighton and Downing being much better options at the moment?

For anyone interested, here's the interview. He was pretty complimentary about the club.

Cheers and good luck for the season, always dread playing your lot because you always seem to score about thirty seconds after we do. Can think of countless recent examples just off hand.

Not particularly well.

Getting Tony Morley out of retirement would probably have had a similar effect. On the pitch, at least.

Should pay up Pires's contract. Contributed even less than Ginola.

I'd rather have Ireland on the bench!

We had him when he was fatter, greyer and even more useless than when he was with you. So don't mess ;)

Blimey, that's true.

You don't fancy taking Pires on as well do you? We'll throw in Habib Beye.

Well, we could use someone to fill the Andy van der Meyde role - although I don't think our current transfer kitty would fill a cheese roll. I'd take Beye just to hear the Happy Days song sung in a scouse accent.
