He had a decent debut yesterday but let's not get too carried away just yet. He'll have bad games and the knives will be out. Promising start though.

You must have the wrong site Clampy, We'd never do that on here  ;)

I think clampy is judging us by his own standards, nothing the old clamps loves more than a good old whine about a player :)


Is this the same Eastie who one week says Bannan should be playing for Cowdenbeath then a few days later says he'll be a good option from our bench? Just going by your own standard's like.

Ah clampy , I've been expecting you my old friend, glad you enjoyed sylla , I don't see bannan as a regular , I hope sylla will be :D

I only responded because you brought my name up.........again.

Actually phil brought it up and I replied, all very tongue in cheek- be happy,we won , the sun is shining, and all is well in the world.

Bring on those hooped Londoners!:)

You did mention me in the MON thread the other day then deleted it a while later when i did'nt bite.

Have a good week Eastie.

You too clampy , lets hope it ends in triumph on Saturday!

The last time we took a decent throw in it was on to Sid's chest then volleyed down the line for Withey to control.

I think you're right. 

Every time we take a throw in in our own half I'd imagine that 95% of the time we make a balls of it and it goes to the opposition.  I just don't get it.  There is little point in flicking it on in the hope it finds one of our players.  Why not control it on your chest and then pass it to one of our own?  It is more than infuriating.
What was the game at home a couple of seasons ago that Sidwell provided an assist to a quick throw in that we scored from?

I think it was Hull and Milner scored?

It was Hull, you're right.

I know this as I had my Hull City supporting brother in law sat next to me in the Upper Trinity, and the look on his face when that happened was one of those brilliant off-pitch football moments that remain with you.

I have the highlights of that game. We were incredible that day. The commentator said 'wow, aren't the Holte End just loving this'.

Here's hoping those days return soon.

Milner's pass for Dunne's goal was genuinely one of the best I've seen at Villa, probably only about 15 yards but I imagine a 30-40 yarder

That's a shame, what with us winning as well.

Happy kitchen destroying and keep the facts coming.  ;)

Its very early days for him, but whether he makes it or not, at least the kid appreciates his chance.

A bit extreme. You certainly take your AVFC supporting seriously!
