Actually it's not fact, it's your opinion. I'd imagine many would be delighted, i'd imagine many wouldn't be. I'd imagine most would wonder how the smeg we'd get round FFP paying that kind of money.

And if it helps, Atkinson was an absolute twat for what he said and I wouldn't want him near VP again either.

Couldn't agree more.

Stupid comments however, do not make people inherently racist.

I was in the company of a certain Norwegian Villa "legend" whom made certain comments about females, that would test even the most ardent Villa fans....is sexism worse than racist comments?

Surely every footballer ever putting on a Villa shirt is guilty of some form of stereotypical comment at some point...if we were to wish them all away we would never have had a team nor future.  That's life.

Wonder what the response on here would be if we bid £150,000,000 for Louis suarez and offered him 250k a week.



I'd say, YES!

If 2nd division Aston Villa signed one of the best forwards in the world, I think you'd be telling prokies if you weren't excited to see him score goals and also eat an apple through a tennis racket.

The only difference between my opinion on us signing Suarez and Terry is questioning the "he'd massively improve us" stuff as he obviously would. I still wouldn't want to sign him though. It's pretty irrelevant though as there's zero chance of us ever finding out.

But surely if we are dealing with principles of what people have said or represent, ability past, present or future surely becomes irrelevant.

You stand in the moralistic 1% of people who without lying would stand by "no".

Fair play to you.

Well yes, which is why I wouldn't want Suarez despite how good a player he is. I can't speak for anyone else though.

I must have my grumpy, pessimistic head on today because my first thought on those comments were that ability past, present or future appear to have been irrelevant at Villa Park in recent times.

Also it's a bit like the 8-9 thousand yanited fans at vp in the mid 80s when we was stuffing them all chanting "fergie out fergie out" yet 7-8 years later when they won the prem and few more years later when the won the champions lge not one of them would say they wS there and chanted it.
Bit like the 10,000 villa fans at the hawthorns in the 70s when Regis Cunningham and Batson got pelted with bananas and every villa fan cheered when it happened but I bet not one of you who slag terry off was at the hawthorns that day ? ?

Serious question, and it's apparent that you are indignant about these kind of players wearing our beautiful colours, and genuine respect
for that.....here's a scenario. JT esque personality/ background player captains / another striker of similar background scores 20+ goals to gain us promotion - you don't stand there and applaud their goals - you simply stand and refuse to applaud?

As I mentioned earlier I wouldnt want Suarez at all. My ethical principles would be challenged by the fact that unlike all the others on my list Suarez is a good footballer. But I genuinely couldn't enjoy watching Villa play with him in the team so I wouldn't until he was gone.

Aston Villa players dont have to be angels or even nice people for me to support them, but there is a limit. Some players are simply too much of a scumbag to stomach.

Until it happens who knows. I was delighted when we scored against sha, it didn't change my opinion of Gabby. I don't have a ST so always have the choice of going to a game or not, but if we sign Terry I have little doubt my appearances at VP will be a lot less than normal.

Jesus, you must stay in the house, watch no tv and work with the Red Cross.

If Suarez scored 25 goals and got us back in the premier (with the support from his villa team mates btw) I would name my next child Dracula.

It's just as well we have a solid amount of season ticket holders who have no choice but to attempt to be supportive, regardless of form, weather or bastards playing for us.
