Questions From Newcastle Fans

[Legion]

Is it me or do any villa fans go on to other clubs websites and ask such stupid monotonous boring dumb ass questions,

If you were a vegetable, give me strength please god

Where do you think you will finish, no please I beg no more

Question back- why was Alan shearer a hero to you when he was a thug in stripes- kicking neil lennons head off and saying to the f.a. If you ban me I won't play for England.

P.s. Is bohemian rhapsody still at number 1 in the Geordie charts

Might need a bit of editing.

How simple your life must be if you let a flippant throwaway comment bother you so much.

Perhaps you just don't condone the ridicule of a club legend. Some of us are a bit simplistic like that.

Yes and such fierce riducle it was, you can tell Super Tom really wanted to be malicious - by the fleeting reference to a nickname that was used in the press 20 years ago.

Good job you are here to defend SGT really otherwise who knows where the harsh ridicule may end.

With anyone thinking it's funny being told what a c*** they are, probably.

My advice - dry those salty tears that are running down your cheeks - take a deep breath - and try and gain some perspective on life.

Aren't you the clever one? Perhaps you could tell us all what and what isn't important enough to comment on.

Anyone who has met SGT will know what a brilliant man he really is, after meeting him the only word that comes to mind is integrity.  I was fortunate enough to meet him before we beat Chelski 2-0 a few years ago.  As I was wandering around the place a couple of hours before the game I spotted him in the press area with Alan Green.  I had my son and my niece with me and went up to as for a pic.  Being a bit star struck I just managed to stammer out "Excuse me Mr  Taylor any chance of a Photo with the kids?" Alan Green answered for him.  "No we don't have time we are getting ready to broadcast!!!!"  SGT gave AG a look that almost turned him to stone, looked at my son and said "Right lad, you have the camera where do you want me?" He then spent 5 minutes chatting with me and the kids and was a true gentleman.
We were lucky enough to bump into him after the game, in the directors guest box, he came up to us and was great again.  He even remembered the kids names and his enthusiasm was so infectious that he eventually had a crowd of former players around him.  He then organised a group photo with Peter With etc, to be taken by one of the waiters, with a smile on his face he looked at me and whispered that one's for you.
I will not hear a bad word said about that man and I really wish he still had some form of influence over proceedings at our club.
I know the comments made on here were not malicious but if you cut SGT many of us on here will bleed.

Just about sums up SGT. And Alan Green.

Great story Fergal.

I think a lot of us felt for him during the England debacle, no one deserved the treatment he got from the press.

Sir Graham will go down in history as one of the clubs greatest servants.

He already has.

This. Imagine the abyss we could have sank into in 1987. Instead, promotion at the first attempt and runners up in the top flight, 2 years later.

Hi, I'm from toonforum.co.uk and we like to ask opposition fans questions to use in our pre match build up. The questions are:

1 – How do you think you’ll line up?
451 transforming into 433
2 – How has Aston Villa's season gone so far? Happy?
Crap. Expected much better however appears we have not improved on last season.
3 – Who has been the biggest surprise this season for Aston Villa? Who has disappointed?
No one has delighted and Benteke has been disappointing.
4 – What are your views on Paul Lambert at the moment?
Not happy with his views on FA cup and so far a big let down however I still want him around at the moment but if by Xmas next season we are no better than it's time to say goodbye.
5 – Which players do you see being key for both sides?
If Ron Vlaar is back than we will be fine. Foy you Remy coming back could make a big difference.
6 – Where do you think Aston Villa will finish now?
About 11 or 12th.
7 – Where do you think Newcastle will finish now?
9th
8 – Who will finish in the top six? Who will go down?
Top six..I really don't care as long as manure finish 7th. relegation Fulham, Cardiff and Norwich.
9 – Scoreline prediction?
We will win this 2-1.
10 – If your football club was a vegetable, what vegetable would it be?
Sprouts at the moment.

Thanks in advance!

I just wish he had told England that he didn't want the job... Oh what could have been...

Not that I wish to dwell on this, but just for benefit of Quiet Lion and anyone else of a like mind, I think the point you’re missing is that in using the T-word in relation to Graham Taylor you’re prolonging and contributing to an unjust, vicious and personal attack on a thoroughly decent man. Mention that word to your average football fan today and chances are they’ll think of Graham Taylor immediately; that it still sticks in so many memories more than twenty years on shows what a huge and vindictive campaign it was. 

Consequently, in the eyes of far too many of the great British public, Graham Taylor is an inept football manager, something of a joke figure and a byword for failure.  Every Villa fan should be offended by that, and none of us should ever be reinforcing such a gross misrepresentation by using that word in connection with his name, even in jest.  If we can’t even rely on all Villa fans to shun that pathetic label after everything Graham Taylor did for our club, then that’s a poor return for his efforts.  He deserves so much better than that from you.  If that’s over-sensitive then fine, but I’d rather be that than ignorant.

If everyone involved in football had the decency and integrity of this man then the sport would be so much better off.

Clappy thing for the Bathhouse
