I have seen the internet before, so I know that what I'm about to write is stupid. However, surely nobody's got the time to pretend to be Fabian Delph on Facebook?

Somebody had the time to be the general and Paul Faulkner on Twitter.

I had time to be London Boy and Admin.

A man is entitled to a hobby.

I guess, although I didn't see them (nor have I seen Delph's Facebook). Whatever happened to hobbies?

It's probably Nathan Baker pretending to be Delph. Afterall, he has a lot of spare time as it doesn't take up much of his time pretending to be a footballer*


*Obligatory Baker is shit joke

Paulie can dribble. Immediately makes him more useful to the Villa team than *insert player name*

I wish I had a shed. And liked it.

The internet is a tool for good but, as a tool myself, I don't think it's done me any good.

Tonev had a shot at Delph, ended up in the back of the net. Of course this was within the confines of Bodymore Heath.

What has always made me scratch my head a little bit is; why takeover a club after the transfer window, when you can’t fix any playing staff problems? You may well screw up your investment before you’ve even started.

its a good point which is why I don't think we are any where near a takeover at the moment

Also, if the club was only put up for sale after the season ended, and a certain amount of time if required to complete the take over, then surely that would put off potential buys as they can't invest on their arrival?

Which is why I didn't think Randy had put the Club up for sale the day of the announcement.

Then it was confirmed that he'd only appointed the brokers that day.

Another master stroke from our esteemed leader.
