I despise that East 17 song. Its absolute arse gravy.

I despise that East 17 song. Its absolute arse gravy.

I have a Villa version about playing away but I don't think I'm allowed to do songs here anymore.
I'm trying to stick to guidelines even though
I'm not understanding all the guidelines as there seems to be a lot of celebrities talk and I was previously told to not to have chatter unless Villa related in the celebrity gossip thread

All very confusing this h and v place!

Might be for the best if you want to stay another day.

Sometimes threads organically will flow into a new topic, this one was us being linked to multiple people called Williams for no reason, which lead to Robbie Williams, to music, to Xmas Royalties. It will soon stop when we have something to actually talk about based on transfers.

In the other thread, we were solely talking about Villa supporting celebrities with the odd mention of other celebrities. You then came in and just posted about any celebrities with a very tenuous link to football and no link to Villa at all. So the difference is following a flow naturally, or damming up a river and then putting in deep man made channels to force the flow into the direction only you wanted to go.

Yes, I don't think I could take the pain.

I'll keep out of this transfer thread till January then!
I'm never gonna write lyrics again
Guilty feelings because you don't like the rhythm
Though it's not easy to comprehend (this site)
I know I'm no fool.

We need a Nr 9 and a RB as priorities in the January sales

Don’t be bogging this thread down with transfer expectations, I’m still reeling from the words “Robbie Williams” and “musician” being used in the same sentence.

…and how East 17 gets a shoeing but Cliff Richard gets off scott-free

Robbie Williams always struck me as someone desperate to be taken seriously as a writer and musician but in reality is looked upon as a sort of "high end" Stephen Mulhern.

More like Bobby Ball with dance skills.

At least Cliff's efforts are Christmas songs. All East 17 did was stuck on big white oversized fluffy coats in the video and hey presto, it's a Christmas song. Mind you, Stop the Cavalry wasn't a Christmas song either but at least it's good.

5 new pages, thats got to be some juicy rumours to get excited about. I should have known fucking better!

The CF one is going to be tricky.  Ollie Watkins is clearly number one choice, so the two options are spending very big on someone who is better or bringing in someone who is content to play second fiddle for the time being.

I think option 1 would involve a very small pool of players, would be mega money and probably wouldn't be interested in coming to us anyway.  Option 2 would probably involve a younger striker with potential or an older one who is probably on a step down.

You should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that you'd been given
