welcome to B6 Tom. Make up for being a complete knob and play your heart out. All will be forgotten if you prove yourself.

What is the story with the TC23 thing? Amongst all the cafuffle I missed it. You will probably make me hate the little fucker even more but do tell...
Hate? Really?

Ok hate's a strong word, but talking loosely in football related terms...

Anyway, can you answer the question or not ?

To paraphrase - as I was not aware of it - Cleverly, a week or two before his debut at Man U paid for a marketing firm to produce a website  and to develop his brand.  TC23 was what they came up with.
I don't really see what is wrong with that. Unless I'm missing something.

Cheers. Not quite as bad as I imagined actually but still pretty stupid. Still hope he spends the next 12 months in Ures reserves rather than our first team.

The Villa website seems to have crashed. The website really is a joke.

It's shit, but probably more a reflection of the fact that lots of people in marketing are total chumps than on TC himself.

Hate? Really?

it's ridiculous to hate any footballer. Are some of them knobs, self centred, childish etc? Absolutely. Unless they have done something illegal or truly vile I don't see how the word hate ever comes into it.

Is Marlon King still technically a footballer?

Technically, Marlon King was never a footballer.

I hate John Terry. And Alan Pardew. However, I believe it is illegal to not hate them.

Agree on John Terry. He falls into the vile category. Alan Pardew, I just want to smash the smirk of his face. There's not hate there as such just a desire to keep pouding on his face. Not sure how to define that feeling.

He's definitely got a very punchable face, I'd like to repeatedly rub Terry's face with a sizeable cheese grater, well beyond the skin peeling stage.
