Roy Keane - new assistant manager (CONFIRMED)

[JUAN PABLO]

would not want to see us in red neither

[Meanwood Villa]

This place might start to get pretty gloomy after the World Cup.

Genuine point here, but isn't it actually a fecking good job we've got the World Cup to focus on and take our minds off this?

It really is. Without it I'd be ignoring the sport entirely right now. Having said that, the World Cup will end and we'll crash into the drudgery of club football angst just as hard. At the moment we're just the cartoon bunny who hasn't realised he's walked off the cliff.

I was only saying at the weekend how much I'm enjoying us not playing.

In my comparatively microscopic dealing with Chinese buyers they examine every aspect of any purchase forensically and will not be given the hurry up.

Agreed been dealing with them for 8 years and sometimes  when they say Yes they mean No and vice versa .  Can't see it going anywhere to be honest

Good.

Racist.

Not at all, love Chinese food for example. Just wouldn't want them owning avfc.

Well, that's an improvement on "Some of my best friends are Chinese", I guess.

That's amazing. That's like saying 'I'm not sexist, I love my wife's cooking, I just don't think women should be in business.'

Joking apart, it does lift the spirits.

When we'd secured safety at the end of the season, I found myself watching us, and thinking "right, for once I can watch us and not give too much of a fuck about it".

It didn't work, though. The only answer is Villa not playing.

I don't buy this introduced to each 2 weeks ago line. They managed opposite each other at Ipswich and Norwich for a start.

Lacists!

Apologies if I came across a bit Prince Phillip. Just wouldn't trust them with football ownership. They're good at lots of things but football is new to them and you just have to lido across the city. No thanks .

That's amazing. That's like saying 'I'm not sexist, I love my wife's cooking, I just don't think women should be in business.'

I particularly like the use of the word "them". I've always found a billion plus people to be identical.

Yep, one notorious Macao casino crook and every single Chinese person (I hear there are a few) is terrible at football ownership, although you do grant that all of them are good at lots of things.

Some of my best friends like Chinese food.
