Fans Worried Over Villa Future

[JD]

That's right Peter. I dreaded watching Villa on TV last season, but after watching the Reading & West Ham games I am looking forward to watching the game against Watford.

Damn, what am I going to worry about?  #-o

[ianburnip]

It is very difficult to watch games on TV and I find it more nerve wracking than being at a game. At least at a game you can share your delight and joy, or anger and bemusement with thousands of other people who are feeling exactly the same way you do.  

Now don't get me started on listening to radio commentary. It's the worst kind.  ](*,)

I never listen to radio commentary who ever it is by at home, Match video or nowt  In the car I'll have the radio on as I can beep the hornwhen we score or run over a cat if we are losing.

I watched the game yesterday with a hammer and he was as moaning as we are normally accused of being.

agreed, the radio's worse than tv, i remember listening to villa v burnley in the cup (when we lost, and didnt really turn up 3 - 1?) in the bath, and just deciding, that although the water was cold, i was less likely to smash something in anger at DOL's dire team 'tactical' plan

That 3-1 was a real kick in the teeth. I was round at my muslim girlfriend's parent's that night. I was getting the 3rd degree as to why she should dump me and go bak home and marry a nice muslim boy, or that I should convert. She was being called all things under the sun. The brother called me satan. The sister wouldn't talk to me. Her mom and dad just kept havinga pop at her and asking me to finish the relationship. I was made to feel very unwelcome. To top it all off my maye was texting me the score. Felt renewed and up for a fight when Angel made it 2-1. Though, 'oh just fuck it' when it went 3-1.

From your location, I take it the curly toed slippers fit well and you both eloped and now live happily ever after.
Or did her parents have such an impact on you that you joined the forces and are now on active duty trying to eradicate em?

[peter w]

Location is pure coincidence. That's a work thing. The fact that were unmarried and living together sticks in their craw. The fact that she no longer wears a hijab and has sex before marriage is a bit too much for them. I love it. Their reaction. Well, the sex bit isn't bad either I guess. Just to be petty I'd love to have a baby out of wedlock just to wind them up even more. However, t'other half has vetoed that. Wants the marriage nonsense first. Bloody-hell I've survived 36 years without marriage why change now? I'm worried that a decision time is looming.

[JD]

Oh Peter, are you worried that you will get too old to have kids.  8-[ Don't worry, some women are having kids when they are 60 nowadays.  :-

[RogerS]

I can't believe 'Strange But True' haven't picked up on this thread yet.

Yes, I know. Strange isn't it? But true. 8-[

Been there (the marriage bit). If she makes you happy then go for it. I think youv'e probably gone far enough to piss her parents off without pushing your luck just a bit further. Save the bit about her taking it up the back passage until the wedding speech if you want one last laugh. :-#

[peter w]

No JD its not the too old to have kids thing. Its just the marriage thing. Been engaged once before and this time round not sure if I can be arsed. Still, looks like I'll have to be arsed. She's fit though so I'll do anything to keep her onside...

Talking off speeches my ate was telling me about the best opening to a best man's speech. Got up and just shouted "Fornication". Silence. Again he shouted "Fornication". A few coughs, a clank of cutlery being dropped. Old dears looking shocked. Again, "fornication"! Total disbelief now as this person is seemingly just making an eejit of himself, and no-one knows what is going. Then he looks at his confusingly at his piece of paper and then says, "for an occasion like this..." brought the house down. It helps to explain this was a Scottish affair, and all in said accent.

I thought these Asian weddings were massive affairs with alcohol and money in abundance. Doesn't he have to give you a dowry to marry her?

[peter w]

Give me a dowry? The other way round. As for the alcohol bit...don't find many muslim marriages awash with alcohol. That's not to say they don't drink mind...

[JD]

Peter, give them some old Villa tops and programmes (give them some old H&V copies, they will think it's the programme) as a dowry. You can't get a better dowry than that.

Some old ones maybe. When it was funny.....

[JD]

I have some old copies from the early nineties. It's great dragging them out every now and then and having a good read and laugh.

I think my favourite edition of H&V though has to be the Holtes Last Stand, which is excellent.  =D>

[peter w]

Is the honemoon period over for the manager. Draw, or worse, next week and I think questions will be asked in earnest for the first time. Maybe I'm a pessimist but on Sunday I looked at the points difference between the bottom 3 and us. I'm getting jittery now,
