ExLandlord, was wondering what opinions are on Graham Turner... cos there are some parallels with the McLeish to Villa move! Has supporter opinion to him thawed, or do you consider him to be a "Judas"?

Tosser of the highest order....and that has nothing to do with his move to Conference Bound Slopbury Town.  Ran The Club into the ground and walked off with full pockets.  If he was on fire and I was bustin' I'd happily water the dandilions instead.

Don't believe the media hype about him saving the Club...the fans raised the money to pay off the pressing debts and he left us in a worse state than when he arrived.
Graham Turner was one of the worst managers we've ever had. He was completely out of his depth in the old 1st division and was sacked before he managed to get us relegated (leaving Billy McNeill to finish the job).

I think you will find Hereford is in England.

They are Welsh because it annoys them.

You're probably confusing us with Shrewsbury Town boyo.

Them as well!
I support Tamworth as well as The Villa so have been to your fairly horrendous away end a couple of times, but always loved my visits for The Victory and the other pub over the road I can't remember the name of.

Can AMc repeat the feat with a bigger/better club ?

Home draws against lower league opposition will help for sure -

Comfortable 3-0 home win with Fonz bagging a brace and Ireland getting 90 mins ?!!!

Hereford have sorted free Coach travel for their fans, so 25 coaches are full.  Suggests that they had sold 1,500 ish by early today and were trying to get their fans to buy tickets up to 4 PM today or face queueing up at VP tomorrow night.

Pretty decent show I'd say.

Been a long time since i've seen us play a Welsh team at VP. A 5-1 stroll for Villa reserves.

Welsh?
Yep, definitely Welsh.

Are you not counting Cardiff two seasons ago then ?

Except it's in England. All this petty crap like Newcastle being Scottish is just plain silly.

But it's funny and it annoys them.
Ever heard of banter?

Cooper... what the Hell are you playing at?

Six pages in and no reference to Lord Hereford's knob?

For shame.

I am sadly unable to join the 19,000 fans rattling around inside the Hallowed Ground tonight. Anyone know which channel will show highlights this season?
