kippax is right. But I think it's just a symptom of us all getting bored, irritable, irate and just waiting for something, anything, positive to come out of Villa Park. It turns brother against brother .

Also, Monty is right. If you are going to say something kippax don't look a berk and speel it wrongly. This is H&V after all.





*yes.......I know*

****Interesting fact alert****

Berk comes from rhyming slang and is short for Berkshire. As in Berkshire Hunt. **edit** Berkeley  (doh!)

I'd be offended at that kippax if I were you...

Anyway, on the fighting lark, anyone remember the geezer who said he was going to 'put my fists all over you'?

Thank you for that Drummond.  Pete you feckin Berkshire Hunt. :-)

That Thomas Tuchel link is interesting. He's done superbly well at Mainz. He's exactly the sort of bloke we should be targeting if there's any legs in this HH takeover pipe dream.

Fans forums are exactly that, forums for discussion and opinions, where you will always get a certain amount of BS disguised in the form of ITK,

Fans forums are exactly that, forums for discussion and opinions, where you will always get a certain amount of BS disguised in the form of ITK, in a close season where we cannot vent are usual displeasure at the state of the performances, this keeps us up with our daily dose of all things Villa. But the need to deride and ridicule a guy who maybe a self publicist, but we are aware through his other actions, rightly or wrongly made the club aware of how not only he felt but also a lot of  other Villa fans felt, just seems petty to me, I am sure this guy wants what we all want, a football club to be proud off, he spouts off on TBAR, but one thing we all have the choice of doing, Dont visit the site.

I have a 'fans level' knowledge of football. I've also spent 25 years telling a succession of the club's directors what they're doing wrong and how to put it right. I bow to no-one in my ability to get money out of Villa fans. I also know that if I got anywhere within sniffing distance of a position of authority I would have our support, in a matter of weeks, hankering for the good old days of Norman Smith.

Yep, whatever happened to all his poor employees he made redundant when he decided to cut costs by making his publication digital only.
I hear he did give them directions to the nearest food bank when he let them go.

When someone puts themselves up there to be 'leading a bid' to buy the club, it's a bit more than "discussion and opinions" on a fans forum.  Whether someone is a potential Mesiah or more likely to be potentially leading us to an abyss, I think asking a few questions of their background and qualifications to do so is a pretty valid point.  Don't you?

All this "optimistic" talk re HH - I just can't get the fact that he started as a Funeral Director out of my mind....  ::)
