TBAR tends to be the place where posters who abuse our messaging system end up.

How is it that your clique all agree with each other on most subjects? Looking back through a few threads, it seems you have all started spouting stuff that you were all dead against a couple of years ago.

That's a strange thing to say for someone who only joined our merry band this week.

How outrageous, having a change of opinion based on facts over a 2 year period. This free thought malarkey will never catch on.

I have a feeling Mark might have been here before.

Bloody hell Mark, only eight posts and you've already mentioned "stooges" and "clique".  Can we play "Guess the disgruntled banned poster?" again.  I'll go Westley Arms.

Who was it that outed saunders_heroes as a "stooge"? Still makes me larf, that.

Peer pressure/wanting to be in with the in crowd. My new years resolutions are to drink as many different real ales as DW, watch as many obscure horror films as PWS and have as many DIY disasters as Legion. In 2016 I plan to concentrate all of my efforts on overtaking Paulie as resident technogeek. Which won't be easy as after my 2015 resolutions I will be an alcoholic, horror film twisted nutter with no fingers on either hand.

You got my PM to come to the thread then chaps.

Aston Villa have made a move to sign Manchester City misfit Scott Sinclair on loan.

The 25-year-old has interest from QPR, Crystal Palace and Norwich but is leaning towards a move to Villa Park.

Sinclair has made four appearances this season, each as a late substitute, and is eager to get his career back on track.

He had an ill-fated loan spell with West Bromwich Albion last season but hopes to have better fortune with Paul Lambert.

Scott Sinclair ,how depressing ! If true,just sums up the clubs total lack of leadership,drive and ambition

Didnt need to, we sensed a disturbance in the hivemind. Someone dares to come and challenge our lockstep agreement on all issues???

He must be administering a portion to Chris Herd's mrs too if he's leaning towards us.

Well we do need a wide player, but if he's going to bring the same attitude he exhibited during his time in Sandwell then we'd be better steering clear. 

[tomd2103]

Be fair people, panic buying means over spending on players.  Yes there is a dire need for a creative player but surely we'd not condone him recklessly throwing cash at any player who falls under the 'creative' category?  If you do, then it would be unfair to later trash the player or Lambert if the player does not meet expectations.  That's logical isn't it?

Fair point, but after the past few seasons, a part of me thinks it would be nice to see us spend a decent amount of money on that type of player just to show that there is still a glimmer of ambition left at the club.
