I have been known to do some freelance PR for them.

It was me who kicked Butt and got rid of 'fat bread.'

Have you ever met a fellow called ianrobo? He did the very same to the exVilla chairman Doug Ellis. Remember him?

[ROBBO]

If I say pretty please can we move away from  cricket. It's like coronation street it's never off the box, always someone playing someone somewhere. After the Ashes who gives a shit who wins anywhere. A closed season of six months would be just fine.

OK.
34-1.

We need another 174 with a day and a bit to go. Trescothick is the man out, playing on to Shabbir Ahmed for 5.

From the Barmy Armys own mission statement

 http://www.barmyarmy.com/cricket/archive/mission_state.asp

The Barmy Army was created by the Australian media, Barmy because we were supporting a side that just couldn't win a game of cricket, not even against Zimbabwe, Australia 'A'or Sydney's youth side.

From the History of the Barmy Army

http://www.barmyarmy.com/cricket/history.asp

The Barmy Army represents a style of supporting. At each game a different Barmy Army is created by the particular group of people that have been able to attend. The aim is to encourage pro-team support and help the England team to do well, particularly on away tours where the opposition fans can be rather intimidating to play in front of.

Its free to join the BarmyArmy..by join, i mean get on their mailing list.
However you can still be a part of the BarmyArmy if you happen to be sitting anywhere near them at an England match!

So "who are the Barmy army?" Well i guess its anyone who fancies joining in!

So, its 24/1 with Bell and Lord Brocket at the crease chasing a very gettable 197. I think it depends on whether their spinners get in on the act, i saw that the England team had the pitch heavy rolled before they started their 2nd innings, whilst this will deaden the wicket it also increases the chance of any moisture rising to the top. fingers crossed that England start with a win.
I am on the Barmy Army mailing list but i don't speak for them and i have no idea how many members there are!
Its just a good way of getting tickets for all England games!

Did somebody mention VFC?

No democratic elections, leader unknown, nobody wishes to talk for them, its just as I suspected!!..... I like the English Cricket Team, but I would like it known that the Barmy Army do not talk for me!

The VFC mentioned the VFC, or rather, their chief spokesman/chairman/director/friend/gimp of Villa Fans everywhere did.

No offence Lizz, not having watched it for 28 years it may well have improved(is Ena Sharples still in it)? But in sunny Melbourne our Television seems to always have bloody cricket on from somewhere replacing good sporting shows like golf, football, racing and I have to put up with aussies still finding excuses why they lost. As if I care. Bye the way G'day.

Robbo, is the Australia v Uruguay game on live over there this evening. I have scoured the TV channels (SKY included) over here in NZ and the ba#*&rds are not showing it. No doubt there will be lot's of programmes analysing the All Blacks greatness instead.  ](*,)

I really wanted to watch the game this evening as well (kicks off 10pm local time here).
