Very quiet in here today , eastie is having to sit around waiting for a suit to be delivered - daughters wedding next year so getting prepared early .

That is a bit risky? I mean you are bound to pile on some lard through the winter.....

Plain black suit - just  the job for weddings and funerals.

I was up with toothache and following.
I appreciate that Greg apologised. However, he didn't apologise for the 'liar' bit. I've read it again since. PWS quoted Greg directly. I'm therefore still puzzled about the liar accusation, given that it was a direct quote. I've decided to ask if Niklas is really going to join us.

It would be a shame if we lost a long standing member and i hope things can still be patched up between pws and Greg , they are both good people and two of my favourite posters and its nothing that can't be sorted.

Greg's a wind up merchant, full stop.

Yes, he makes some good points, and I've agreed with plenty in the last couple of years, but when some of more questionable comments come under a bit of scrutiny he reverts to this passive/aggressive nonesense and starts trotting out these stereotype cliches which are offensive, but probably just on the right side of the site rules.

And that 'apology' to PWS was probably the most backhanded I've ever seen.

don't know what everyone's getting so wound up about? It's the Internet- freedom of speech and all that...  Sticks and stones will brrrrrrrrrreak my bones! Whack!!

First there's posters tearing each other apart, and now we've got you two licking each others rings.

One extreme to another on this board.

Thanks for that Lee, no need to EVER put that image in someones head than you!

I can imagine the reaction of my missus if I came to bed at 4.30am and explained that i'd been arguing with someone on the internet about whether a Villa manager should have been sacked six months ago.

This.

Some of his finishing is first class in that video. Will be interesting to see how he goes. Could be the bargain of the summer.

Seems like he has a bit of pace for a tall lad as well.

This is a very weird thread.

The interesting thing about young Nicklas is that he has being getter better and better.  He is coached by our own Kent Neilsen - who compared him to Zlatan Imbramovic.  He has played two and a half seasons in Denmark - and his goals per game ratio has increased each season.  In 11/12 he played 32 games - scored 14 - and got 8 assists.  The 12/13 season saw him playing 33 - scoring 16 - and setting up 7.  That is getting on for a goal every two games.  Not bad.

He was picked for the Danish U21 team where he scored 4 in 5 games.  He was subsequently capped at senior level in two substitute appearances.

You can read about him a bit more here http://greatdane-uk.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/keep-eye-on-nicklas-helenius.html.

I think many fans will have to accept that the new Villa are going to confound the old ways of public house assessment.  Lambert and Lerner plainly have a vision - and it is one that will avoid the obvious.  Who had heard of Benteke before Lambert brought him to Villa Park?  I know I hadn't.  I trust in Lambert and his network to make the right choices.

I can't believe how professional the club is being in clearing out the old and getting in the new.

Tonev - highly rated young international - with a work hard attitude.  Okore - highly rated young international with a work hard attitude.  Bacuna - highly rated young international etc etc.  And now Helenius - from the same mould.  I see a picture emerging here.  While we get linked with flamboyant jinksters like Brahimi and Belhanda - we don't bring them in - because they are flash Harrys - big time Charlies - Lambert doesn't do White Lamborghinis and 36 carat diamond earstuds.

And I think that is brilliant - because the only thing that will make people work hard and want to stay with us is if they feel like they are part of something bigger than themselves - and it is something that is going somewhere.  Big time Charlies are in it for themselves - and that is all.  If anyone doubts this - read up on what Lambert has to say about his joining Dortmund - about how hard he worked - about how the team worked with him - all supporting each other.  Check out talkshite - Lambert was on there the other day and spoke of how he was invited to the Champions League final - and met up with that Dortmund team.  You could hear the love and respect in his voice.  I think that is what Lambert wants to build at Villa - something bigger than just a well paid job - he wants to build something special.

For all the whining surely it is now apparent that Villa are on the right track - have the right manager - and the right attitude to push on and achieve that something special.

Enjoy it ffs.

Dog forbid he's actually building a team!

Yes, because it has been a cacophony of whining around here lately, hasn't it?

FFS.
