It'll be cold and wet Dave.
And everyone will be asking you if it's official merch, where the ticket office is and where they can buy one of those special "match" scarves, they've never been here before/only come to watch ManU (win).
Fun times!
UTV!

I'll have my own merch tent.

Will Faulkner let you take another job?

Who do you reckon was running the cash only white tent behind the Villa shop? Is it any coincidence that PWS was the first to post about it?

There was one journo who was arguing that a takeover is close - Charlie wyett of the sun. He's the one who broke the story originally

But even he's now saying it's gone quiet and he's gonna do some digging (check his twitter feed)

Lads,

Heard the buyer is on his way over in the next few weeks which is promising.

Heard he wants a big marque signing to show rest league what we are all about.


You picked the wrong forum mate

We don't do ITK on here, have you not noticed
and we certainly don't give a shit about your bit of useless information


Yes go to TBAR. It stands for They Believe Anything Really.

I think this sums up why so many people are joining TBAR including lots of people who used to post here. Arrogant, condescending put downs for anyone who has a different point of view to the self aggrandising elite. Go back to the start of this thread and many here were ridiculing the whole take-over story as bullshit. Now it's been proven correct attention seems to have been switched to TBAR'S take on the finer details of who our potential new owners will be and when it will happen. Some folks will look pretty silly if Larry Ellison or Phil Anschults is announced over the next couple of weeks. Anyway, I won't be posting here again, which is sad because there are some good people on H&V, so cheerio and all the best.

Been busy of late, so apologies for digging this back up, but it stuck in my head from a quick look the other day. "Arrogant, condescending.........self aggrandising elite". It's why I come on here, for the internet equivalent of shopping in Waitrose when I really can't afford to. And why I sit in the upper Trinity, which I can't really afford to do either, but I won't let such trifles keep me. I love smugness, me.
As an aside, is there a chance that LondonBoy is a 14 year old internet troller from Idaho who doesn't know where we're from?

Hi Londonboy, lad. I'm excited about today's announcement. I've taken today off work in anticipation.

I really can't wait.
