Millwall v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[villa `cross the mersey]

Oh yes. Aitken, Arce, Hole was how the team read.

I thought it was Brown, Arce, Hole. That was Jimmy Brown.

Wright, Aitken , Brown, Arce, Hole

[dave shelley]

Godfrey's Aitken Arce Hole is the way I remember it.

[olaftab]

I remember  Godfrey in with Rioch and co so was that his first time around coming?

[Martyn Smith]

I would severely hope that the Villa players do not have the chance or permission to go out spending money or to nightclubs till at least Wednesday. I would hope they are in extra training right now...

When has Dave ever claimed to represent the fans in the media?

Show me where I said Dave has ever claimed to represent fans in the media.

And to LeeB, why should it ever be out of order to criticise material that is in the public domain? We don't hold back on voicing our opinions about newspaper journalists.



 

Because it's not Dave's fault we're shit, and it's not his fault he didn't write that brilliant piece by Brian.

Don't be daft. Nobody ever said anything of the sort.

So had these played in the 80/81 season we could have had a league winning back line of - William's Brown Arce Hole Rimmer?

In the late 40's we had a front line of "Buster" Crabbe  Ron Cockell (father of Don the boxer) and Jimmy Wintle.   Pity Jimmy Wintle was such a weed because I could have added they were all Mussel.    Crabbe was called Buster because the actor they chose to take the part of Johnny Weissmuller in the Tarzan films was called Buster Crabbe.   He was huge and muscular but as I have said in these threads many times he was the worst Villa centre forward I have ever seen and I have seen a few.   He also had an arse which makes Gaz Baz's look like Kylie Minogue's.

What the fuck we're to trying to say then, because from where I was sat you we're lashing out a bloke who runs a fanzine for not saying what you want him to say.

[Dave Clark Five]

This could easily be resolved by divulging which fanzine editor/s was/were being referred to.

So you're going down the abusive route too? Your post is badly written but if I've got this right, and you think what I said was lashing out, you must be a very sensitive soul indeed.

[Lizz]

I was say in the stand opposite the Villa end.

The Millwall fans around me seemed quite "normal". No racism from them and they booed their fellow fans for throwing bottles on the pitch.

My son was with Millwall fans and he said something similar about the bottle throwing.

[Chris Jameson]

Must admit I read the post as some sort of dig at Dave, I can't think of any other Villa fanzines and I really don't understand why he has come in for any sort of implied criticism.

Brian's post was as usual brilliant but people don't need to keep quoting it all the bloody time just to say how good it is, reminds me of all those programmes that feel they need to recap after every 2 minute ad break.

[Jimbo]

This could easily be resolved by divulging which fanzine editor/s was/were being referred to.

A lot has been read into what I said, and it appears to have hit a raw nerve. I was referring broadly to any fan with a public platform and some influence, such as the editor of a fanzine or a self-styled fans' spokesman. If somebody has decided to take it as a personal dig, then that's up to them. But when you put your work into the public domain, you should be prepared to accept criticism without resorting to abusive language. Or are some people above criticism? Personally I'd rather be objective than resort to sycophancy.

[Dave Clark Five]
