Stiliyan Petrov - update

[Mortimer's Bear]

Well done Stan!

[Tuscans]

This may be a stupid question but is he working at Villa now? I know Tim said he was on board but I don't think I've seen him in the dugout or is that because he's only doing part time work with the U21's or something...I don't know.

Says in the article that he's doing bits and pieces with the first team, but not every day.

Ah right. Do you reckon it might be full time next season if all goes well with him?

Theres a great stiliyan petrov special on BT sports at the moment.


Its emotional thou

[Hookeysmith]

The Sky sports special was really good - the love he has for his wife, his kids and the villa is clear to see

I actually passed the HGV lorry today with the "Support Stan" picture on the side on the Northbound M6

I still love the tackle he put on the Ladyboy at our place - hard but fair

I like that he had enough perception about him that he knew Downing was a weasel before anybody else and broke the ****** foot.

He was interviewed on R5 today - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02xkmw9

[David_Nab]

Interview today says he is fit wants to play for us again

[saunders_heroes]

He's 36, could he really get back to anything near the player he was before?

Nope. But I'd still happily take somebody who was two-thirds of what he was at his best for next season.

It's probably a pipe dream, but would be amazing to have him round the team if he can get back to fitness.  I would hate for it to sour the memories though if he's not up to it.

He's 36, could he really get back to anything near the player he was before?

Probably not. But as a good influence to have around the place, to play around half the games, to bring the youngsters along, even just as a good news story to give everyone a lift, he could be invaluable.

Get him registered and in the team for Newcastle!!
