Culverhouse and Karsa suspended (Now both sacked: Reply #876)

[Somniloquism]

Whenever that last minute England goal against Belgium is shown, it always brings a tear to my eye and I'm still proud a Villa player scored that goal. However, the fact that from that point onward he was learning Italian and now never gives the club the time of the day means he can fuck right off.

I've always wondered if Doug cashed in from Bari when Platt wanted a bigger club to go to and that is what pissed him off.

I too can't stand Platt. I was too young for his playing exploits. Suppose it's a bit like someone like Milner or Ian Taylor slagging us off after retiring.

I think it was the fans response to him when he returned that may have pissed him off, or that he has a big moon face?

I'm not so sure a job at Villa is a poisoned chalice as such. More a mild laxative. There's money to be earned and the circumstances would allow a coach/manager to distance himself from failure.

Just look at the sudden wave of sympathy Lambert seems to be getting. He was Genghis Khan a couple of weeks ago, now without even a game being played one piss-up in New York has allowed him to position himself alongside Mary Poppins.

I don't think he ever slagged us off. It's just that he doesn't acknowledge us in any way. I always felt we were more than good to him as fans, and he was a true to star player in Sir Graham's team that got promoted and nearly won the title. I always felt that once he made a  name for himself we became little Aston Villa and he wanted nothing to do with us. Shame really.

Yeah i think we we're just a stepping stone for him, i suppose like a lot of players he out grew us, the summer of Italia 90 in a position of strength we bought no one, and then he virtually kept us up single handed...still a bit of a tool though.

Tch, exagerating as usual, we bought The Great Ivo Stas.

[class-of-82]

Met him when working just off Tottenham court road few weeks back shook his hand thanked him for his time at the villa but got no response back about the villa. Wanted direction
towards the langham hotel so pointed him in wrong direction.
If you don't wanna chat bout the villa then sod ya.
Same week met lord Coe griff Rhys jones and all black legend Sean Fitzpatrick the guy is fucking huge and a gentleman to.

[garyshawsknee]

How could i forget !!! Though i think we bought him in the autumn, even though he was crocked.

I blame Roltas tireless work and Herculean essays.

Crewe fans said the same about when he left them.

What were the other 2 like? Coe was my original sporting hero - even when he became a Tory MP. Spit.

A doghead working colleague met Mel Smith and said he was a right arrogant cock.

I can vouch for that. They remember Geoff Thomas far more fondly

Nothing wrong with rmoon faces. I have one. So does Maniche.

He scored for the Gunners and celebrateed a little too exubernatly in front of The  Holte IIRC.

I sat by a Gooner in Lower Witton that day. He was alright. Looked a bit like Sir Dave Woodhall but with a mild Essex accent.
