The Doctor is now on Twitter @Dr_Tonyxia

Tony. If you ever read fan forums then for the love of God read this single bit of advice.

GET OFF TWITTER NOW.

Honestly just get off it. Nothing good comes from being on Twitter. Dont waste your time on it. Just focus on the club & fans.

like it, heart felt, and yes a little humour, never goes amiss

In all seriousness, I would look to ask David Cameron to join the Villa board in some capacity now that he is at a loose end.
If we do have lingering 'concerns' about any of our board members, then maybe someone like him, with Sir Brian would add a bit of reassurance and, dare I say it, a bit of credence to the club.

Cameron failed miserably at running the country, so why risk him cocking up something really important ?

Yes, Cameron would be exactly the sort of person to add a bit of reassurance. Shame Boris Johnson has found work otherwise he could come on board too.

And he'd turn up at the Taxpayers' Arena by mistake anyway!

I think even asking him would be a terrible idea. He's not even a Villa fan really. He picked us as a team to make himself appear more credible to the normal voter. The Dugdale thing made the connection seem more plausible. I mean he got us mixed up with West Ham ffs.

I don't think David Cameron will be stuck for something to do for a while now. Those speeches and autobiographies won't write themselves.

Now that his diary freed up all of a sudden, I fully expect he'll be a regular on the Holte.  Or at the very least, at most of our away games in London.

Michael Gove's looking for work.

Will he turn up at Villa Park or head for West ham?

He could sit next to Legion.

Oh aye, he will be down with the lads every weekend. Claret & Blue jester hat PLUS his "Gray - 9" vintage kit on full display.

Save him a spot at the bar coz he will be there rain or shine.

Full kit banker. He has no excuse now.

Wonder if we'll see him cycling home now again. I'd hate to think that was merely for show, making him look all eco friendly and modern.
