Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[ROBBO]

He would have to be a regular contributor to this thread, we don't want any blow ins that poste once a week and then claim to be one of us. We havn't heard from him for a while by the way which is not what you would expect from someone who wants to enjoy permanent membership of this great thread. I am not fickle.

[peter w]

You're right Robbo. Many are called but only few can hear. Since his flurry of posts he has been conspicuous in his absence. So much so that he has not replied to our debating of his inception to the world of Worried. To be one of us you must truly understand the depth of this thread. Does he fully comprehend the spiritual nature of this place? Does he? DOES he? I'm not so sure.

I'm worried about the exclusivity of this thread all of a sudden, it's like apartheid.  Surely all Villa fans are alowed to be worried!

[brian green]

Have any of you paused to worry about this?   The better start to the season we have the more likely Ellis is to cling on to the club in the hope of some glory to bask in.   The poorer the start to the season we have the more likely he is to want to walk away having milked all the media attention.   I would not be so worried if the manager and ownership problems had been sorted as one package.

Couldn't agree more. Neither could the triumvirate +1. However, worrying isn't something that can be taken lightly. The Johnnie-cum-latelies who think it is something you can face with a smirk, a nod and a wink, or an amusing anecdote, are proof enough that thispalce ain't for kids. Do you forget that we saw the total implosion of the mind of one fool hardy soul? Matt, we all wish it wasn't so, but worrying isn't just for a post, its for life. That's why us professional worriers are just looking out for y'all.

[ROBBO]

Yes anybody who wonders why we are here should be told the story of LG. A sad tale but worthy of the telling if it deters others from going down the same path. I still worry about him.

[peter w]

Aye Robbo. Twas a sad sight indeed. It was funny to laugh at him for being a bit of an eejit, but then when you realised he really had gone out for lunch, it stopped being a joke. Worrying about Villa is a full-time occupation people. Us 3+1 moderate your worries. Yes, we use this beautiful place to chat amongst ourselves, but its just so you don't get dragged into the dark streets that are hidden within. Once you go there, you never come back.

[ROBBO]

See it's a bugger living in the colonies, when all the faithful are up for a chat it's time for me to get the cocoa and head for sleepdom. If it wasn't for you and JD joining me in the afternoons the world would be a much duller place. That +1 is about to turn into a minus unless he gets his act together. You and JD were far too hasty in accepting his membership at least Legion is decent enough to make the occassional appearance. BE should stand for bad egg.

Yeah I have noticed +1 is only around when no-one else is up. As soon as they are he doesn't want to know us. Well I'm not worried. Well, obviously I am, but in a good way. So, it seems that Bad Egg is going to have his application rejected. Robbo isn't impressed with his intentions, and the past two days have seemed to confirm his reservations.

What if one of you 3+1 decides to revolt and starts a thread called 'Fans Worried over Future of Villa'?

How do you intend to maintain peace or is +1 here to do just that?

What if someone came and said "take me to your leader"? That would surely break your rapport.

Has anyone mandate to represent your 3+1 to the outside world?

I demand a press release.

Take me to your leader.

[Legion]

I'll be the +1. If you'll let me!

please may i make formal application to membership in this thread? clueless and intrepid (which only help when you're a Villa fan), i gormlessly wandered into this place ignorant of all protocol. i'm too alternately busy / bone idle to read all 6,243 pages, but sense instinctively that i may qualify.

qualifications: i am female, American and have only posted meaningless, barely football related drivel since my arrival. my boyfriend has made no secret of the fact that Villa have been truly cr4p ever since the day i walked into his life. wouldn’t you be worried?

i have more game day superstitions, talismans and rituals than beckham has hair styles.

my favorite MON quotation is: “I’m always optimistic, I only get pessimistic when the season starts!”

thank you for your attention to this enquiry. if this application is not favorably received, perhaps you would consider forming an auxiliary thread for the woefully deficient.

[Legion]

They'll consider it once you've trawled through each and EVERY page....

[notanotherone]

They'll consider it once you've trawled through each and EVERY page....

acting the +1 already, i see. fair enough.

and as long as i don't have to submit a précis.

[Legion]

They're the boss(es)!
