Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[peter w]

Evening JD. Not too bad mate, the fact that I'm off to Dubai for the weekend more than makes up for the maaise that can be Islamabad. Its okay though, I'll worry that Villa don't perform tonight, and that it'll be a mess again come Monday.

You're sons ill? What he needs is a trainer I had when playing for Triplex U-13's more than a few years ago. I had a heavy cold, and was developing flu like symptoms. It was a cold day, snow everywhere, but we were down to 10 players. So, the trainer picked me up, wrapped me in about 4 shirts, and every 15 mins or so called me to the side lines for a sip of tea laced with brandy! Can't remember how the game went but you can only applaud training techniques learned the old school way.

I just had to read up on LG again as in those days I was a voyeur more than a participent and wanted to see again what lead to his downfall. I must say both of you had a hand to differing degrees in the absolute disintegration of this guys ability to face up to reality. But to his credit he served this thred well albeit unintentially. The thing I really picked up on though is how seldom we here from some participents, for example Drummod was prolific for a while, Mac was an everpresent and Risso played his part. Have we become to non inclusive? do they feel they would be interupting. I really feel we should get a message out to LG to make a comeback, I don't think with him back on board the rest would be too long in following.

He was a fruitloop.

Thanks for the compliment about the family story Pete.   I have promised Dave to be a more regular contributor to the mag this season so more will probably be forthcoming.   I have to be careful what I write about family history because branches of the family are very sensitive about the times when we were ragged arsed ruffians living on bread and spit running the streets of that part of Brum which shall be nameless but lies between the Coventry Road and Warwick Road.   People move on and join golf clubs.

Well I closed this thread down yonks ago and somebody opened it back up.

I even opened up a book of condolences.

[Legion]

Welcome to eternity!

Yes but a very entertaining one while it lasted, talk about one aginst the world.

Tyseley?

Tyseley?

But still a shade more attractive than Ghent if memory serves me right.

Well I'm worried Mac will over ride young Legion and close down this thread. The stones and gravel (for D. Woodhall) will be better served directed at his bus shelter than the Barton's windows.
It's a comfort to know where to find you southern hem guys when the coffee keeps me awake.
As for LG, he's a strange case. Talk about the Villa and he's a 110%er.....but go 'Off Topic' and he's the only person more sick and twisted than Brazilian Villain.
I blame the purple leather jacket he bought from the Rag Market, circa 1979.

I seem to remember LG going on about 'the gay recruitment centre' or something along those lines about 2 or 3 years ago.  The man was a nut job.  He got banned from Villatalk for the same arguement as well I believe.

the story thus far... ageism, O.J. Simpson, suitable stables and crystal balls.

and finally... on page 22...

Whatever.

the nascent, barely perceptible rumblings from deep within the LG faultline.


what a cheek, me... new here, myself and never even met the man. i'll just slog through quietly from here on out. she said. (told you i worry!)

[Legion]

Commendable.

You could save yourself some time, he starts to wind up about page 45 but really hits his stride in the fifties. I kinda felt sorry for him in a way, his argument was always flawed but he was faced with a formidable combination that eventually pushed him over the edge.

Who, LG or Chris Smith?
