Who can summerize the previous 105 pages in the least amount of relevent words

They Must Summerize content.

p.s. Long on its own is banned !!!!

Constructive -> hilarious -> bizarre -> never-ending.

Has anybody seen Ian since his excitement of Sunday last week?

He’s spending all his time putting this consortium together.

don't worry still here ....

Seems some are happy that Ellis is in still in charge eh ?

Very.

Do you think you might have made just a slight tit of yourself on Sunday night?

[ianrobo]

not as much as others do every day on this site and others.

[Simon Page]

Can I just check what time this week's "Woopee Doug's Still Here" Party is. And is tonight's theme Prudence?

[dave.woodhall]

Remind me again what Monday's momentous announcement was.

Ian

Given your above statement can you answer this multiple choice question:

What EXACTLY do you mean by it

a) You're embarressed by your postings on Sunday and are trying to deflect criticism

b) You still haven't got a clue.

[dave.woodhall]

In fairness, it's not just Ian who has that attitude. The usual suspects still can't be shaken from their idea that if you aren't full of bitterness and hatred towards him, you must be an 'Ellis lover.'

We all got a little exited, if he jumped the gun a little so what, he wants the same outcome as we all do a successful Villa side. It amazes me how canibalistic some of us are to our own.

This internet mullarky is about survival of the fittest. You feast on the nearest available carcuss and make sure you don't become one yourself. I've never come on here to make friends and I've been extremely successful thus far.

In all seriousness though, Ian did come on here berating some unnamed group of people who supposedly doubted the sale would happen while at the same time gloating over his own prescience. When coupled with his certainty over Monday's announcement, it's hard to say he didn't ask for it just a tad.

I'll never question his persistence though, and long may that be the case.

I agree. I was just in the bath reading the latest H&V (is that too much detail?). Anyway, something in there about the prices at the Sty was very well put. It said something along the lines of the sooner fans (of different teams) realise that they have more in common with each other than with those running the clubs, the better.

The same principle applies to supporters of the same club - whether they desperately want Ellis Out, would quite like him to go, used to want him out, but now aren't so sure, wanted him out - then changed, then changed back again, or think the sun shines out of his (tight as a gnat's) arse.

Reading the H&V, I love the day to day bit at the start  - it's so good partly because a few weeks on now from the events described, some of the optimism/pessimism/judgement seems ludicrous (and I probably shared it at the time) and other parts of it seem fantastically astute. (it benefits enormously from not being adjusted just before printing to reflect most recent opinion). Time shows up both good and bad judgement, and anyone who claims to always be right and never wrong is either Herbert or a liar or both.

Anyway. I'll be having another bath, need it or not, in a months time....

Day-to-day is the best bit for me. Followed closely by the Barry B-Lose saga! The correspondence also makes for good reading.

From this exchange I can see how that would appear.  However I'd ask you to consider a couple of things.

After making his prediction 10 days ago Ian hasn't shown his face until questioned.

Secondly, sadly this is Ian's modus operandi.  He does show his face to gloat (when Villa lose) but can't be seen when Villa win.  I know that seems strange to say about a Villa fan, but Ian's posting ratio on H&V is inversley proportional to the success Villa have.

Which is why he has been on here a lot recently!
