Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[ROBBO]

Thanks for your concern JD, we were blanketed by a layer of smoke from the fires which are about 160 kilonetres away, and we've had a very hot weekend. The next couple of days will be calmer but then the northerly will kick in again with hot temperatures. The fire front is eight times the size of port philip bay and you can't fight it just try and contain it.
I will take a bet that some silly bastard will set fires in the Dandenong ranges this year and that will be nasty as everywhere is bone dry and we've only just started summer.

I saw some satellite photos in the paper over here in NZ on Saturday Robbo. It looks pretty scary stuff and it's so hot and dry over there at the moment.  
As it keeps raining over here,  ](*,) half of the NZ fire force are either in Australia or on their way. It's good to be able to support the West Island of NZ.   :-#

[ROBBO]

Now if we had people in power with vision we could have water pipelines from NZ to Oz feeding into storage dams. I don't know how we transfer heat going the other way though.

[JD]

You certainly have more extreme weather than us Robbo. It's not cold over here, but it isn't nowhere near as warm as it should be. Saying that, it will probably heat up now.  ](*,)

Watching A NZer and an Aussie having a go is like watching midgets fight. Can get nasty, some good swipes, but ultimately it looks funny in a Benny Hill type way...

Last season I watched everyone of our evening kick-offs and we didn't win a single one. That's as much to do with The Clown as any TV hoodoo. So, I decided to change our luck for the Man City game by not wearing my Villa shirt before going to bed, and not getting for the game. We played like last season. So, for tonight -or tomorrow morning as it will be for me- I'll not wear my Villa shirt until its tomorrow- maybe that's why we've been losing? It kicks off at 1am local time so I won't put my shirt on until its tomorrow,and I'll watch the game live. We can't lose.

And the penalty you are willing to pay if we do is?

[peter w]

Erm....surely watching us lose and then have 3 hours sleep before work is penalty enough?

[ROBBO]

This game will determine our season. If we win we will be well placed with a couple of additions in January to try to get the last Euro place, if we lose we will be a mid table side for the rest of the season.

[peter w]

Agrre 100%. We will be flying into Man U if we can go to a ground against a type of team that have bullied us, and turned us over easily, and get the 3 points. This is onw of those thin dividing lines between success and relative failure.

A defeat tonight, and against ManU, and maybe the players we are hoping to land in January take on a different look. No doubt the players O'Neill wants he's more or less sorted, but not many players want to join a team half-way through a season that have the moentum going against them.

Big game tonight. I hope to see my first evening kick-off Villa win.

[peter w]

Damn straight.

[JD]

If we don't win Peter, I am holding you personally responsible.  [-X  :-x

[ROBBO]

We ARE going to win!!!  :smt026

WRONG

[JD]

Well Peter, what have you got to say for yourself now.  :-k  [-X

[ROBBO]

I reckon Mystic and Pete are having secret liasons, only to discuss the Villa of course.
