Falconary at Villa Park

[TheMitaCopier]

I was at a jobsfair in the corner flag room at villa park today, when i looked out the window there was a falcon flying round the stadium and landing on its owners arm. Anyone know what that's all about?

To kill or scare off any pigeons who've take up residence in the rafters of the stands.

Maybe we're copying Benfica's pre-match build up

[Rudy Can't Fail]

F*ck Benfica and their parrot, I'm hoping Sporting sign this fella:

We had a majestic eagle owl taking control of the situation at EC2008 quals match Finland v Belgium in june 2007. Plus we were simply the better side winning 2-0. Belgium are a different side today with Hazard,  Kompany, Witsel, Dembele etc.

If Paul Faulkner was the club falconer, that would be great.

In the upper holte I've noticed too that there is a dummy owl up in the rafters to scare off the pigeons... Yes at times the games have been that boring I've taken to looking up at the roof of the holte end for more entertainment lol.

Get rid of the lion, let's have a ................ Falcon crest

While you seem to know a bit about Belgium, would you mind explaining where this explosion in youth talent's come from? It's been really bugging me as suddenly they have a wealth in talent, particularly in youth. I'm writing a 16 page report on modern football and a segment on Belgium could really come in handy

Paid six groats and a sack of mead every Michaelmas Eve.

 Heskey = Kes-Hey - There's got to be something in that. Our Emile is a goshawk and Colin Welland is his English teacher watching him overcome all odds.

[German James]

A sack of mead? Do you mean a butt of sack? Or is it a sack of butt?

Instead of Chief Exec?
