The best thing about Twitter is that I once wrote a Perl script to post to it remotely. The sense of achievement was better than average.

I did a Ruby course a year ago. The basic tutorial was to build a twitter like product. It took 4 hours and opened my eyes up a fair bit :)

My old man trains with a bloke who speaks regularly to Bertrand, he said a few days before the Palace game that the dressing room's been completely lost and that Albrighton came home on the train on his own after Saturday due to a falling out with Culverhouse.

The one thing I have with that is why would a footballer with plenty of spare cash catch a train? He could have bought a helicopter. Or a jet fighter. And why do no Villa fans seem to have seen him on the traindespite, i'm assuming, some would be on the same one.

I can't swear to it's credibility, just passing what I heard on. I do know that the bloke genuinely knows Bertrand well but for all I know it could be a case of Chinese whispers or what have you.

I can fully believe all of it. Just the train bit seems a bit strange. I know if I was on that kind of money i'd have found a commoner  to piggyback me all the to Brum.

The problem I have with it is that I don't believe that a cosseted footballer would know how to catch a train without a grown up to look after him.

Maybe he wore a disguise on the train.

Parrot costume.

Maybe a Groucho Marx disguise. All he'd need is the glasses and tache.

Always thought he could pull of a Plague Doctor mask.

I can believe that Our Marc did do that.
Must've caught a fair few trains to VP in his time.

He's probably sat in Tiger Tiger in Croydon still, crying his eyes out. It's all been too much for him.

I wonder if he took Virgin, Chiltern or the slower but more cost effective London Midland

Every time I buy a train ticket I conclude that you'd have to be a professional footballer or arms dealer to travel by rail.

Fair play to Given. He's been a model pro throughout the last couple of seasons and hasn't criticised the club. I admire him for stepping up when asked. There are plenty that wouldn't.
However as somebody who has said that he wants to move into coaching, if he were offered a job as a first-team coach for a Premier League, he'd have been completely stupid to have turned it down just to prove a point.

And he may be a drain on the wage bill but he certainly doesn't strike me as stupid.

I wonder what Marc Albrightons opinion is on the proposed HS2 line. I think we fans have a right to know.

Lambert could be in for a pay rise - you can't have one of your coaches earning more than you ?

I've just had it confirmed that he caught this train because it looks like him.

Dunno. I bet Randy Lerner always goes in the quiet carriage though.
