Well let's hope so and if that is the case there must be someone lined up.

Lambert is going to America because, like the shunammite, he's wondering what the fuck Randy was on about.

The other thing about the statement, after I finally got round to reading it, can you push your fate past its limit?

No. Assuming he took quite a bit of time to compose it I found it one of the most bizarre utterances from a football club owner I've ever seen. And I include Al Fayed in that.

And while we're at it "sobered my finest memories"?? I beg your pardon?
As for Krulak's. Is Randy going to war or what? When's the last time he said anything publicly? Bizarre.

It's ok his tag will start bleeping soon

Or his carer will say "that's enough computer time for now"
I think they're called handlers not carers.

That's more or less what I took from it. Either that or he's going into polltics.

Apparently Doug will say that the new owner needs to spend £100m to make Villa a force. Stay tuned folks.

Just heard the same, he never hangs around does he.  Deadly Doug like a heel owner in pro Wrestling, you just love to hate him, and hang on his every word even if common sense suggest you should the reverse.

What if he dictated it and meant faith?

When Fat Bob said "there's nothing left but faith", he wasn't kidding around.

Well. After Stoke anyway.
He did say West Midlands!!!

I admit to living out of the country for a few decades but Stoke is in the West Midlands I thought. Isnt it?

(confused)

Doug's done well to still be around tbh as he didn't look in great shape around the carling cup final and that was well over 4 years ago now!

Fair play to the old bugger, he still regularly goes to games so I'd imagine him and Steve Stride would be ITK a little bit even if this interview might not sound that much different to what SGT said the other day.
