Must admit after looking at  future fixtures for the scum i am not feeling that worried about our immediate future, I can only see a maximum fifteen points for them, which puts them at about 34 for the season. I am worried about next season though.

For all you daytime dandies who either snub this thread- in which case I guess you won't read this- or which its demise, then mind your own business. This is the thread us nightcrawlers have which we have taken over as our own. Kind of like the Americans and the middle East. You all get the chance to debate with each other and have the dynamic thrust of a power conversation amongst many. Or pissed pub science type chat. You know the type of thing, 'the way to solve our problem of overused tips is to blast  althe rubbish in to space', or 'if Villa sell up we'll win the league maybe'. Anyway, I digress, this is the sanctuary, and we night nurses have colonised this thread for our usage. If you all want to discuss other things elsewhere then so be it. But me, Robbo, JD when he's around, Brisbane fella when he's in, chew the cud here. I beseech you,we are a minority, respect our rights. We want to stay here don't make us move again to other threads. We've only just got our homethread back. Thread self-determination for all Worried About Villas Futurists!

I noticed how that Woodhall bloke was staying up til the early hours just to deprive you of the 2000 post. What miserable gits are we dealing with here that they are that small minded. They look in and then instead of keeping quiet have to have their fourpenny worth. If you don't like it keep out. All from a very warm and sunny Melbourne.

Ah. All too true Robbo. All too true. I think its envy at the outbreak of sunshine in our brightly lit world that they cannot abide with. If this Woodhall character persists in this line of attack I will have to resort to name calling.

As for the Villa, Robbo, its got to the point I feel more worried if this takeover actually happens. I'd rather sit tight and wait for A N Other. Not that perturbed by them selling land as thats what we were trying to do with the old ASDA site. Also, in the summer its likely Angel will be moving on. I wouldn't be surprised to see Baros and Bouma go also. Add to that DJ DJ too. The team will still have its spine and if they continue to  improve the way they have then Ridge will be a lot better next season, Cahill will be fit and ready, Davis will have had a full season behind him, if Moore ends up with 15 or so for the season he will be looking to get more next term also. The money we can get bo those players + Laursens write off money, then we can re-invets in players. So, if it doesn't go ahead we have enough assets to be able to still strngthen next season. In my eyes anyway.

I suppose it's problematical whether Oleary is there or not. I just have a feeling that if we were positioned geographically different then we would have had several interested parties, what is it about my birthplace that puts off potential buyers? I still believe that we have tremendous possibilities as really there is no opposition to speak of. I support a team called Hawthorn in Aussie rules and they were a very poorly supported side until they had a brilliant run from the eighties to early ninetys. The young kids that follow them because of that period has grown into a membership of over 30.000. so it can be done. So you believe Baros will be on his way? as long as we get our money back I won't be too bothered.

as has been mentioned before, if we were successful, we would attract the right players. Chairmen tend to be businessmen and Birmingham is becoming ripe for those wanting to invest due to its successful image change. Money is coming into the city, which is making the place aesthetically enticing as well. It was once said that if man U were to get things right off the pitch they would go into another stratosphere. And they have. Chelsea have just been fortunate. With us you get the same feeling, if we get it right off the pitch our potential is every bit as tangible as say an Arsenal, or a Liverpool. The London media tend to ignore us because our stock has declined to the extent that we are more of a Premiership expression than a meaningful counterpart. Ellis to blame for this? Well yes and no. Open up the purse strings a bit more yes, but at a time when we could have gone tits up a la Leedas/Forest/wednesday etc etc it was seen to be a litle bit more prudent. However, this wqas overdone and we stagnated, and have gone backwards. This isn't terminal though and can be turned around. I don't believe- as I think is clear- that we have the right manager to help us do that. Compare DOL to Sir Grahams first reign and you can see what the right manager and the wrong chairman can do.

New owners are welcome. Very welcome. But I don't think these people are right for us. Or the manager.

Cliquey bunch of in-crowders. All I did was stop by for a stretch and a yawn.

The only reason that Woodhall bloke stays up, is that he is still counting the cash that he has made from us mere mortals. It's a full time job.
