Coffee and a chat with Tom Fox at VP. Some very exciting developments at our club in the coming months. #UTV

A new range of pies I reckon, about time too.

I wonder if Tom had a clue what he was saying?

What is TBAR?

A (very) alternative forum, where by all accounts the loudest sound is that of your own breathing these days.

Peopled largely by individuals that performed astonishingly dull "suicide by mid" exits to inhabit a world of biscuits and bullshit (or ITK as they called it) whilst worshipping at the feet of the multiple personality (maybe disorder) known as admin.

Alternatively a fan site that was temporarily staffed by pompous, needy arsewipes who set great store in being "the fastest growing Villa fansite" by virtue of loads of made up exclusives on the takeover that never was.

A forum for conspiracy theorists really.  They've mellowed a bit now though and do poke fun at themselves to be fair.

But it's also a platform for that self publicising twat Howard Hodgson with his ridiculous schoolboy standard 'Hodgson Reports' on the state of the club.  If there's ever been a bigger forum ego I think I am yet to see it.  I hope to god he is not involved with any takeover consortium.

Ah that TBAR - Thought it was populated by Mr Villa and all his disciples, and all was facts.

Birmingham Mail running story of imminent takeover details.......
Unfortunately it's the baggies not us

Subject to a 6 week exclusivity period though, same as Villa, so we have a head start. I presume Baggies are going to cost a lot less than Villa

Albion will be bought by the same kind of chancers that purchase the likes of Blues. Can we have a Chinese hairdresser mk2 please.

He's more than welcome to get involved with a takeover consortium.
















































As long as it's the one at the stripeys.

Probably along the lines of "we're going to give the place a lick of paint."  I just can't imagine Tom Fox giving a pundit the heads up on anything of importance, even if he is a fan.

16 pages on TBAR by half-three.

You must be hilarious at dinner parties, so funny and original!

It's true, I am. They invite me for the scoops and then let me stay because of the friendly atmosphere and banter I bring with me. *Breasts emoticon*

I'd like to think there's a few of us who could outshine him in the gobshite egotist stakes.

[Edvard Remberg]

If I am this fantastic - is it really my ego showing when I state the obvious?

Be nice if he could drag himself away from his cosy chats with Stan to tell us what the story is with Delph.

Smethwick expect to be sold by end of month according to Peace.

The 'big news' that we were waiting for turned out to be that they are in an exclusivity period, like we're reported to be. The difference is that they have officially announced it.

So why haven't we?

[silhillvilla]

How much are WBA going for ? Honestly if we are £150m I imagine they will go for about £60m

Because we're not media whores who do their business in public?
