😂

I sold some copies of H&V for Dave 20 years ago for a few games. He gave me an extra fiver after, I think, Gabby's hattrick against Man City. Probably because I was parading around giving it the hard sell having had a few beers. Rang me a few nights later and we had a good chat. Separated myself from the Barfly up Digbeth to see it through. No idea what we talked about.

Moral of the story. Make the man some money and you're in his good books.

So that's where I'm failing.

Can't argue with that.

Okay, fine. As all the work I've put in thus far is apparently worth nothing!

Dave, I am unemployed and in debt, but as an amateur numismatist, I do have a relatively rare 50p coin worth up to £2.35 (two pounds thirty five pence) on the open market.

In exchange for a little kindness, I could always arrange for it to be sent to you, and you could pocket the cash?

^Ten minutes have elapsed, and even with the offer of money, he won't reply to me.

Guess I'll be crying myself to sleep again tonight.

Just take that rare 50p to bed with you to keep you warm mate.

I've got my favourite teddy - he's called Dave Woodhall.

I was told just 'Dave' might be more appropriate, but that didn't work for me.

I believe Emery is invested the club and the owners, he has control at Villa that he would not get at any other club. My only worry with him is that he is too loyal to his favourite players, Watkins in particular when he should see that he is not doing the player any favours, he needs a rest and a reset. He I believe spotted Rogers so he should be head scout as well. The next few weeks will tell the tale, Chelsea have a hard run home, two of our injured players will be back and the sun will come out again.
