Little bit patronising at the end there Christian!

Like the comments about Xia, to paraphrase "he's had fuck all to do with anything since the new owners turned up, and thank fuck for that!"

I didn't see the interview Risso - what did he say to be patronising? Cheers

The presenter asked him if he was involved with McGinn's new contract, to which he replied "that's the first bad question you've asked me, why wouldn't a CEO be involved with a multi million pound contract?!"  Daft question certainly, but not sure he'll be invited back on any time soon!

See I'm quite pleased with that, the inane questions that get asked a lot of the time deserve contempt so seeing 'one of ours' call it out is great.

Same question - it wanted me to add people I know to the group but I barely know any Villa fans so I'm not keen to do so.

Dunno.  Do you not just log in and press "join"? I don't recall having to add anybody, is that not just an option?

It asks you to answer two questions: what is the most famous area of Villa Park? And: will you agree to invite friends and family to join the group?

If I had friends or family I wouldn't be so keen to see the video!

It may be somewhere else on the Internet, joining the group you answer 2 questions famous part of the ground, and relatives/supporters, approved after about 5 mins

I retract my moan. I didn't answer the friends question and was still added. Interesting interview.

I don't do Facebook but my wife reckons it is something known as 'a closed group' and you have to be invited to join. The more difficult I find it to access the interview the more I want to read/hear it!
