Aston Villa sign Charles N'Zogbia (Reply#1151)

[gaucho1966]

There does appear to be conflicting info but if you're defending Faulkner in the event of the deal going south and ridiculing others as bed-wetting moaners, you are in my opinion, being a bit disingenuous to your fellow posters.  Unfortunate things keep happening and IF this is true it would trump the other PR blunders that have blighted the past few months.

There is no conflicting info. The info is that he's had his medical today. The rest is just internet gossip.

Faulkner's probably in one of those karaoke bars they love in that Japan (same thing innit), swigging a £9 bottle of lager, off his face while he belts out My Way while all this goes on.

Beyond belief.

I've just seen Faulkner playing snooker in the Chelmsley Wood Conservative club. Halfway through his first game, with a fiver at stake, James Milner rang his mobile and said he's sick of not playing and wants to come back. PF said he'd phone him back at the end of the frame, hung up, cleared the table with an 80 break and held out his hand for his money. His opponent said 'best of three?', and PF agreed, forgetting all about Jimmy.

You couldn't make it up!

To be honest, Percy, the way things are going, the least believable thing in that post is the revelation that there is a Conservative Club in Chelmbo.

if true i feel sorry for mcleish but i dont feel sorry for faulkner-on agreeing the fee he should have been making arrngements to fly home and meet nzogbia to discuss terms and do the medical , not sitting on his arse having another holiday in hong kong just a week after a fortnights honeymoon.

I can't believe they've flown all the way to Hong Kong to play FIFA 12. Have they never heard of online gaming?

It's beyond a joke.

What's more, if you look at that pic, you'll see they're using the PS3 with WIRED CONTROLLERS for fuck's sake.

Does anything demonstrate the harsh new fiscal regime better than the fact that our brave boys are being forced to use a console without wireless controllers?

Depressing.

I'm flabbergated. Paulie you have such an eye for detail.

Oooh you realist you.

I'm off to the public house for some beer. 

[Villa'Zawg]

Word on the street out here in hong kong is that the deal is in the balance. 

Is that from inside the camp?

Flabbergated? Is that when Barry Austin gets his phone hacked?

villadawg could you provide some kind of graphical chart or league table to show how often this has happened and to which clubs in recent years?

[KevinGage]

If this is true, I'll probably just go down and support the B-lose from now on.

A Chief Exec playing Grand Theft Auto or Singstar whilst the club turns to shit. You've just made yourself a very powerful enemy, Faulkner! (shakes fist).

[Clampy]

I think we should all calm down a little and see what happens before we point fingers at people. All i'll say is though that if he's over here now and having his medical and agreeing terms, announcing it on Monday is a bit weird.

Brilliant.

Though it's tough to laugh on such a bleak day.

keep calm clampy, all will be revealed in time , must say some wonderful dry wit on here in the last hour or so -it wouldnt be a total shock to me as every time mcleish has spoken about it hes always said its not signed and sealed and in the back of his mind probably had what happened with nzogbia last year as a nagging doubt.

There is. Went in twice about twenty years ago to watch my mate boxing. Boycotting it for the rest of my life though. I can't help thinking that maybe tuppence out of the price of my pint may find it's way to buying electricity for Thatcher's life support machine.

I've just done a nice venn diagram of your post content if that helps

[Villan For Life]

I've got such a downer on the club now. Things were never this bad under Doug
