20,000 flyers? Anyone else having images of another game watching squadrons of paper planes?

It's not a bad strategy. With Bale's simian brain he may start playing with the planes instead of giving Hutton a nightmare.

I did speak to them at the awards dinner and it was my impression that they were upbeat from the way they spoke and what they said.
You wouldn't expect them to be anything else really.I still think he'll be on his way

Players/officials in being positive about the club to fans shocker.

It's not as though they would say they are bricking it and are terrified of going down are they. Same as AM isn't going to tell everyone he is on his way.

Just thought I would try to bring something to lighten the gloom on this thread. Never mind.

How did you suppose that McLeish being 'positive' would cheer people up?  Now if you'd seen him looking downbeat whilst trudging towards the car park with his personal effects (Charles Hughes coaching manual, photo of Alex Ferguson) in a cardboard box, that would be different.

I want to know how they stop him climbing the goal nets during games.

Beat him with sticks until he drinks tea.

Fair point, I think the vast majority want him gone now so him seeming positive is not particularly good news. If he's here next season things will only get worse.

What exactly have you done to brighten the mood, short of stuck your thumb against you nose, wiggled your fingers and said I know something you don't know?

Imagine the media response if we started throwing bananas on the pitch at Bale.  Think some fans did it to Oliver Kahn can't remember how it went down?

Appears MOMS has got the go ahead for their ad on the cover of the Mail.

Quote
A victory for freedom of speech and supporters vs the money driven corporate world of football!

After a 'bit of an discussion' with the Birmingham Mail over the principles and ethics of the press, and how wanting to keep their 'commercial clients' sweet conflicts with that, the paper have agreed to print our advert in the Birmingham Mail.

So all the people waiting upon this news, plus contribute asap and I need to pay in the next day or two, and paypal takes a couple of days to clear.

If you are not aware of the idea, it's simply a message to say:

We Never Ever Wanted to Say This, But...We Told You So.

MOMS Aston Villa Supporters (not consumers)

It's a polite message for our own self respect. We're not attacking the club or manager, we're just saying us supporters were right at the start and there was a reason we were against an appointment that has caused us a lot of misery and in-fighting, and not to mention, financial loss for the club (low league placing and low attendances).

A bigger waste of money I couldn't imagine.

I think opinions were split
