Ray Wilkins joins us

[Phil from the upper holte]

The new coaching team in action today.

Who is the SB guy?

By the looks of the gut on him, he must be our new Beer and Curry Coach.

That really cracked me up cheers

[Newportfred]

Interesting article in the Birmingham Mail about him (can't do links)  I only went to a tin school.  Same problem as Darren Fletcher, I feel for him with that condition as my brother, who is also Villa,  suffers with the same.  You just can't imagine what it must be like.

Is it ulcerative colitis? A guy who used to work for me had it.

You're absolutely right, it is a truly hideous thing to have wrong with you, with massive long term health impacts if you don't treat it properly.

I'm amazed Darren Fletcher managed to carry on a football career (albeit at the Stripeyfilth) having suffered from it for a long while. Totally respect him for it, having seen what it does to people.

[villasjf]

surely he is our fitness coach

[Clark W Griswold]

surely he is our fatness coach

Probably.

Seamus Brady. Isn't he the bloke Tim credits with spotting all these exciting new players we're signing?

[KevinGage]

Video analysis, I think.

Lewis Moody has it as well, which is amazing when you consider the sort of punishment that rugby players inflict on their bodies.

Surely not.....too slim!

Ray was exquisitely polite as he eased past us at Burton last night.

[supertom]

Probably.

Gabby is always first in and last out during buffet line training sessions.

We've signed Gareth's little brother, Slim Barry. Our new Mr Versatile.

[CT Villan]

They're actually testing out their new bellyometer from AliExpress...it takes the guess-work out of spotting chubby new signings before we've offered them a multi-million pound, 5 year contract. So no more Grant Holts, thankfully.
