Dr T has pulled the trigger

Matt Collins if you want people to stop "wilfully misinterpreting" you, stop calling them Nazis.

I have no idea what Hugh Gaitskell would say about Villa only winning 4 games in the last 48 and people being prepared to attack anyone who dares to say it is not good enough, I was only a boy when I met him.  I was 61when Denis Healey came to my house.  He came with Terry Waite if that gives you inspiration to have another pop at me.

You've met Terry Waite Brian? I'm green with envoy.

Hugh Gaitskell would have been too busy being poisoned by the KGB (allegedly) to express a view about the Villa.

Surely you can't be too busy during a poisoning event?  To be a good poisoning candidate your have to give your poisoners a fair chance?

Very good.

I'll try to remember the Jackie/Sunnie Mann joke I was told once for the joke thread.

Didn't the other hostages allegedly find Terry Waite insufferable?

Isn't it funny how Steve Bruce is now the 'housewifes favourite'. Probably from the same people who were clamoring for Nigel Pearson a few months earlier. Strange how suddenly he's name is not being mentioned anymore. 

It's definitely less of a Venn diagram, more "two circles laid on top of each other".

[Risso]

I don't imagine that Di Matteo's name is cropping up much on Derby forums either to be fair.

If the price is right I think it would be a bonus if we got Brucie. We would definitely go higher. That's all I've got.

Yes he wasn't popular, although being held hostage in a room in Beruit for nearly 4 years would make you grumpy I suppose.

Mark Hughes could be available soon

Stoke evidently have aspirations to be this season's Villa.

They have some stiff competition with West Ham trying to join the club and of course Sunderland

West Ham going down would really make me laugh - mainly because of the owners, but also the taxpayers' stadium

Yup, I entirely agree.

[Dave]

Probably not. But then I don't expect his name came up much before they hired Pearson, so it's not really a comparison they're going to be interested in making.

It's just the way that in some people's minds Pearson was literally the only possible option in the summer. And now Bruce is the only possible option, now that it looks like the previous only possible option is fucking rubbish.

[DeKuip]

Why do people keep mentioning Steve Bruce? I've even seen someone on here mention McCarthy and Warnock. Are these fans that only follow football on Ceefax?
