Charles Insomnia obviously needed more than £63k a week for his natty suits.  Money well spent.

Such sartorial splendour does not come cheaply.

Sobering thought. If professional footballers need loans to pay a mortgage, what chance do other young people have?  Half a million average house price in London.  It's obscene.

I don't think that most other young people are spending seven figures on massive, mock-Tudor mansions though.

If they were buying a £150k terrace in Dudley then a professional footballer probably wouldn't need a mortgage.

some interesting replys regarding our away support and support in general . we are nowhere as big as you but don't under estimate the potential we have in south wales .  as i mentioned we would sell 5,000 tickets at yours if we are in the hunt for promotion if we are given them  . one of  yours pointed out you are in the middle of the country so your travel is far less . our closet are bristol city , brum , villa and wolves so with geography in mind would expect us to take more to those 4 grounds . we usually take a big contingent to the likes of qpr and fulham too.  on another note we have thousands of plastic prem fans in south wales too and we compete with the rugby . apart from all above the biggest factor for the drop off in attendances the last few years is to do with the rebrand our chairman introduced a few years ago . lots of our fans walked away and never came back  when he tried to introduce different club colours , badge and red seats to our stadium basically wipe out our history and identity . i could write a book about it but don't want to bore you to tears .

I would be interested in hearing your point of view about it.

[Nelly]

I'd be interested to read that too. I always liked Cardiff. Even after the drubbing.

[robbo1874]

Only been there twice - had a very good night out in Cardiff, with some mates of my ex Mrs from Barry Island. Don't forget Nessa from Gavin and Stacey sporting a Villa shirt too! Good lads and lasses the Welshies- in the south anyway. Don't get me started on the northern savages! They battered us fair and square and are entitled to large it for a few days in my view.

[robbo1874]

I very much doubt they would bring 5,000 though, wherever they are in the league at whatever point of the season.

Yeah please don't.

Ta-ra.

just thought i,d pop in and hopefully give me your reports on james chester and Neil Taylor particularly  Chester who are in the Wales squad for our forth coming games against Austria and Moldova .Taylor is suspended for us on saturday but i think available for Moldova away next tuesday . I,m a bit concerned as you have leaked in a few goals this season so villa fans are they in good form or not for you ?

and as a side note can't believe 5 out of 5 for us right now , i,m in dream land . so glad we turned over wolves last week  what a moaning / whingeing bunch of fans they are and gave QPR a good tuning on saturday too. everything rosy in south wales right now just hope Wales win there next 2 matches to give us a good chance to go to Russia

Taylor and Chester both having a half decent start to the season. Chester & Terry not settled as a pairing yet so that hasn't  helped Chester's game. Personally though I like him and he's one of the better centre halves we've had in recent years.

[SoccerHQ]

Chester's been terrible this season.

At least us going to back 3 will suit him as he's done well in that position for Hull and Wales so should settle him down a bit.

Taylor's been a solid signing for me. No frills solid LB. Trouble is he dosen't offer much as a wing back. It dosen't matter so much for Wales as he has Bale infront of him.

[eamonn]

Hmm, SHQ, you reckon Bruce will settle with a back three now (or for away games anyway)?

He'll want to get Jedinak in the team so think we'll see it a fair bit this season yes.
