Are those our players with the best games per goal ratio in that list?

It's a cross section taken from a list of key AV players on Lerwill's website, so may not include every top scorer.

...

I am pretty sure it does include all, mate. If anyone spots anyone that should be in my list please let me know, but I spent a lot of time on it to include pretty well anyone who has had a significant playing part in Villa's history.

Fuck off you prick. Go sue some other club.

That's not an appropriate comment, and I'd say an apology is in order.

There's no need for that at all.

Why not... he sued the club. I'm not going to have banter with him about his book.

I wish Carew all the best at West Ham as he was a fairly decent player for us but I refuse to deify him like some seem to do. I wouldn't class him as a legend for example.

Whilst some of our players definitely seemed to underperform under Houllier I think Carew's issues were more based around his decline as a player. Indeed, I'd say that people who think that some of the players who were poor under Houllier will be much better next season are in for a rude awakening.

Sorry, I meant Villadawg's list not including all, not your database.. I was wondering where Pongo Waring was.

Less of the abuse. Even Villa can be guilty of unfair dismissal you know.

I don't think it would be wise to debate the ins and outs of the case here. I do think he came across as an idiot before the case when he posted on this website, which is why I don't particularly like him... especially as he only comes on here to discuss/promote his website.

I had a look at John Lerwill's posts to see if it backed up my claim that he only posts for self-promotion and found this...

"As I've stated on my blog:

"There were some things I stated on the H & V thread which (reflecting upon it in the cold light of day) were probably not best said (and I admitted as such at the Tribunal), but, even so, we're all Villa supporters and it's part of the whole issue of being such that we upset one another from time to time. We all get emotional about things we care about and, indeed, the whole matter occurred after going through a long period of personal stress.

"Certainly, no harm was meant to individuals nor to the club on my part. It was a 'storm in a teacup' as so many people have described it."

On the basis that The Lergy seems to acknowledge that some of the things he said were "probably best not said", I withdraw my outburst and apologise.

Think nothing of it mate. The whole thing was a misguided affair really (not just on my part), but though Villa may well have been in the right to say to me, "Cut it out, John, this ain't very good...", they were way off beam in sacking me - as substantiated in the very detailed findings of the case.

As I've said, I'm not bearing any malice and Aston Villa is still by far the best club around as far as I am concerned.

Anyway, cdvillan, you've shown big balls in apologising and that's really appreciated. :-) Good luck to everyone on this forum.

well said lergy , and congrats cd on having big balls.

Carew signs for the Spammers.

Best of luck big man.

[Toronto Villa]

good luck to him. Hope he whacks in a few when they play the shit. He'll be a good signing for them and right up Allardyce's street for a season to help get them promoted. Carew isn't a PL forward anymore, but if he can keep himself glued together, he'll terrorize the Championship defences. He's also in London so he won't have to go too far to find his favourite nightclubs either.
