I can't see Tony taking a gamble, too much in it for that.

A Chinaman that doesn't like to gamble? He'd be the first.

That might be a dreadful stereotype, but I've never met one who doesn't.
My wife's Chinese, we've just got back from dinner with a couple of her Chinese friends and the subject of the Chinese love of gambling did indeed come up. They ruddy love it. Particularly the men.

Your wife? Congratulations supertom. It doesn't seem that long ago that you were starting threads about the exploits of your love life!

And good on them, it's a noble hobby indeed.

Paul Clement was doing a good job at Derby before they got rid of him, he can't be too shabby if he was Real Madrid's coach.

Paul Clement would be a decent shout.  He'd got Derby up to 4th, then lost 3 or 4, and they potted him.

Nah. A bit like Clarke, better as a coach. Until Clarke came to VP of course

Tom, you'll have a conundrum

We've just had a baby boy. I love the thought of us both supporting villa. But I know the recent reality. Most people around here support arsenal. I'm just not sure I can try and edge him down the villa path knowing what it entails.

Not an immediate decision. But one that's been on my mind of late

Congrats Tom. Doesn't seem like 5 minutes since you were discussing your conundrum on here!

I took my 5 yr old to his first game last season and he's been to one this season, he asks every single weekend without fail if we've won and let's just say I've told him a lot of lies the last 12 months.

Took my 3 year old to watch Villa play Preston (in laws are PNE fans, and wanted to put him on the right path by watching us thrash them). Didn't go to plan, but he still enjoyed it and wants to go again.

Good tweet from Tony about the sacking of RDM, something like 'better to act sooner than later, but we have to learn from this and not make the same mistakes again and again'.

Or, admitted that he had made a mistake as per the tweet?
