Yep, bought by Poly Travel, later Lunn Poly, bought by Thomson. I used to work for them. Does that make me a contributor to the invention if the bicycle kick?
Wash your mouth out. Just one person invented the bicycle kick and we all now who that was.

Is this new site a bit like UKIP?

Depending on whether you believe that three invites were sent out or quite a lot more than that it was either an attempt to be the new SDP or  the Chinese Communist Party.

Decided to address the apparent news flash at the start of the thread.

Either way, we will apparently not know one way or the other about a potential new owner  until the end of the season, so it is a bit like waiting for Christmas when you're ooh, about 7.

I can quite see the attraction of this story if you are launching a new website, but this is essentially an attraction to individual supporters everywhere, especially if you are still happily posting and reading on the Rolls Royce website that is H&V. We can discuss alternatives for pages on unlimited threads and will continue to do so. Probably. It depends on for how long new information is forthcoming and whether to use a technical ITK term, it is a real goer.

Staying with the Christmas analogy, who's been naughty and who's been nice? Suggest this is assessed on individual posters.
I'd like to be on the naughty list, but that has nothing to do with the price of fish.

If there is a change of leadership, ownership or management of our great club or not, though, a major question remains -


Does that mean Benteke stays?

When they offer each other biscuits, they're not really going to actually share biscuits. That's what unnerves me.

There are no biscuits. No shared biscuits. But they pretend that they are actually sharing the biscuits.

I don't even like biscuits. I don't see the appeal of them. Easily the most boring of the "bad" foods.

I see the appeal of biscuits, though I could take or leave them, but to pretend to be sharing them is a monstrous waste of time.

Nobody appears to be ITK these days if Randy has got one thing right it's security. Getting bored with the eastie crap i know i probably started it but i didn't expect skirmishes to break out, i have more to worry about like at my age will i still be around to see Villa play consistant decent football again? or will Doug outlive me, i would post a photograph but the technology is too challenging , you wouldn't like it i am your future.

Been out tonight so after reading the five pages that I was away for this thread. Is it a free Eastie thread or an 80's music thread. Either way as Eastie is an 80's music fan who loves the T twins there is only winner and that isn't football.

I'm 31 and sadly I've started to worry about this myself.

Emma Stone is probably the best thing you can put on a cake.

A very appropriate comment.
