I reckon he's pissed when he sends his tweets.
I was always told an alcoholic never checks his shoes, so on that basis you are bob on! ;)

His tweets are par for the course for today's celebrity owners. I prefered the old days when you didn't have a clue who owned half the clubs. Doug has a lot to answer for.

disagree, Tony's musings are light relief to a sea of misery elsewhere. I have come to the conclusion that I love everything about Villa other than when they attempt to play football.

Good point. I was cynical but hey, the man has become a fan at some point. I kind of like his relentless optimism and protective attitude to the club. It is a bit of a tonic tbh.

I have liked him from the start. He is so not Randy Lerner in everything he does and says.  Of course he will drop bollocks and say embarrassing things but that is what normal football followers do. 

Villa Park under Lerner was fetid with secrecy and intrigue.  I think Tony has thrown open a few windows.  I particularly appreciate his personal intervention in blocking the Bennett move to Wednesday.  Not only because I think Bennett is an improving player but also because for too long under Lerner there was a "while the cat's away" mentality that worked on the basis that the owner was not that interested in anything other than the balance sheet.  Not that he was very good at that.  I don't think RDM needs oversight but it will keep everybody at VP on their toes if they know the boss is actually aware of what they are doing.

You can sum it up in two words 'Active Interest'.

Keep on rambling on Brian.  On here we're all brothers, man.  Reality does not go amiss on here at times.

I like the way he has raised the expectation levels. They were dropping far too low.

I dont agree with Gray where he says Dr X has said nothing positive

I think there is a lot of positive posts and someone who obviously cares

Is that the Gray who loved the Villa so much he said I don't care where I go, just sell me?
